If the result of the Vermont election does
not afford republicans much to brag about,
neither when ali the circumstances are
taken into account does ii disclose grounds
for especial encouragement. 1t was the
off year when a lighter vote and reduced
majority was to be expected An exciting
and embittered canvass for the nomination
for governor had left the republicans in
many places in bad shape as regards har-
mony and voting strength. \ republican
daily paper the second in circulation in the
State had undertaken special raid
against the wholesome law which
has been such barrier against
drunkenness and pauperism in the State; and
cheered by the accession of this new ally
IN their long time warfare upon the pro
hibitory law, the democrats were every
where encouraged to form alliances with
the comparatively few republican oppo-
pents Of the law. Republican votes for
the State ticket were thus ira led for votes
for 'license' members of the Legislature
Pastors to enable disafiected republicans to
substitute a democrat for the republican
Nominee for governor were distributed all
over the State, to an extent never approach
ed before.
Our columns have betrayed our apprehen
sions lest these combining causes should
work a serious diminuton of the republi-
can majority-and we cannot say that we
are much surprised at the result. The demo
Gratis who are only too willing to hurrah
and republicans who are disposed to be
cast down, in view of the figures. will do
well to remember one or two things, One
IS that fluctuations in the republican ma
Jorities in Vermont do not represent like
variations in the actual republican
strength. In times Of comparative politi-
cal lethargy, our total vote and the re
publican majority has often fallen of
heavily; but the exultation Of our oppon-
ents, over what they took for proof Of tho
wane of republicanisn in Vermont has
never outlasted the succeeding election.
Ffor instance Gov. Proctor, popular and
/ respected citizen, was elected in 1878 by
only 49, SOS majority. 1t was the Off year
AT the next election Roswell Farnham was
elected governor by 2j,0l2 majority-an
increase Of over 80 per cent 1t was not
! because republicans were any plentier in
/ Vermont in 1880; but that year they turned
Fout to the polls.
So our small majority this year is no
proof that any considerable number Of the
Vermont republicans have renounced their
party. If any reader doubts this state
snsnt, republican majority of 25, 900 two

years from now will be likely to undeceive
him. Maiorties vary heavily in this state,
but the Vermont republicans do not wab-
ble much in their party allegiance.
Nor is there anything particularly dis
heartcning in the election of forty or fifty
democrats TO the Legislature. In 1882
there were 40 democrats in the House, be-
sides several groenbockers who acted with
them At the next election, in 1884 only
81 democratic representatives, were elected
Another important consideration is the
fact, which stands out plainly on the face
of the figures, that our republican ma jority
this year is not measured by the majority
for governor Ordinarily the vote for
the head of the ticket is the vote for the
ticket. This year the ticket outruns
its head, 10y considerable percentage.
Just what the difference is, cannot be stated
till the returns are all in; but from present
indications it will be safe to add from seven
TO ten per cent to the majority on the gov
ernor, for the actual republican majority at
the polls
To some other peculiar features of the
result, we may allude in another issue
Nlr. Blaine and the War Tariff.
Mr. Blaine was before his audience at
Watcrvile in Maine Friday evening only
about a half an hour, but lie found that
time enough in which to make very
strong statement Of his views on the ex-
panson of our foreign trade and of the
benefits TO thi, country Of protective
tariff. aud be also found time incidentally
to show up the falacy of this talk 10y the
democrats and uugVumps about the in
equity Of the republican party keeping up
the war tariff KS a matter OF fact, said
the Maine statesman, the war tariff has not
been kept up uu, has been amended over
and over again until the revision of 1888
left scarcely trace of the actual tariff that
was in operation at the close of the war and
for few years atterward. During the war
the necessities of the government were so
great that we could allow scarcely anything
TO be imported without paying tribute.
We were not then studying the philosophy
of trade relations. but we were studying
how to save the life of the nation. Bat
during the last eighteen years a great
change has been made So entirely
has the war tariff been abolished that
in the fiscal year ending June 30, lSS3,
the articles admitted free were considerably
more than one-third OF all the Imports
Mr. Blaine thinks the inevitable tendency
is toward the increase of the free list. but
he would have the repeal of duty in every
instance preceded by the most thorough
