STATE ELECTION.
It Is Now GOVernOr:EIeCt Fuller.
The Republican Ticket Elected
by about 10000 Majority.
A Strong Legislature, which Is Almost
Unanimously Republican.

The returns of Tuesdays state election
have come in unusually slowly, owing to
the difficulties and inexperience attending
the secret voting system. Up to this morn
ing the indications are that the Republican
ticket is elected by majority of about
10000 votes These figures do not vary ma
terially from the prediction figures of
those who took into consideration all the
circumstances attending this years cleo
tion. To begin with, there was an un-
familiarity withthe secret system of voting,
and in very many cases a prejudice
against it, which were sure in advance to
keep many voters from the polls. In Mas
sachusetts candid Democrats have esti-
mated that the Republican vote in the ru-
raj districts was cut 20 per cent by the new
system. That the percentage has been
equally great in Vermont there can be no
doubt. Add to this the fact that an average
of ten per cent of the votes cast, or intend
ed to be cast, were thrown out because i'm
properly marked or not marked at all, and
we have figures closely approximating the
average vote of presidential years.
SO far as the Republican vote is con-
cerned, there is the added fact that there
was no special incitement to poll full
vote, as there was four years ago. Then
the Democratic administration was in pow
er and every Republican felt himself called
upon to use every effort to dislodge his po-
litical adVersaries and restore Republican
rule. This year there is a serene con-
sciousness that everything is secure in
the hands of the Harrison administration,
and a confident belief in the Presidents
reelection.
When every consideration is taken into
account, there will be a general concur
renee in the judgment, expressed by Col.
Fuller at Wednesday evenings reception,
that this years Republican majority is the
full equivalent of that of any previous
year.
The Republican majorites since 1880
have been the following: 1850, 25,012:
1882, 1899; 1884, ISIS; 1886, 1887;
1888, 27,GlS; 1890, 12,6OS. The average
majority for these 10 years was 2l,05O.
The legislature elected on Tuesday is an
unusually strong one, and the number of
Democratic members will be much less than
in 1890, when it was GA. This year it will
be little more than 30 Some of the bet
ter known members outside of Windham
county are Manchester, NJ. c. Colburn;
Bennington, A. ]. Dewey; Tudlow, w
w. Stickney; Rutland, p. W. Clement
Brighton, Geo. n. Dale; Arlington, O. N
Barber.
There were numerous protracted contests
in the election of representatives. The most
notable of these was at Rutland, where the
opposition to p. w. Clement, the regular
Republican nominee, caused the contest
to be protIacted through Tuesday night
and Wednesday, until on the fourth ballot
Clement was elected by Al majority.

President HnrrI.on,s Acceptance.

Mr.. Harrison's letter, accepting his re-
nomination to the presidency, was printed
in the daily papers of Tuesday. 1t is unus-
ually long, filing five columns. In its
main, points it shows what would be the
result of the Democratic scheme to revive
the state bank issues; sums up the splendid
results of the reciprocity policy, and
praises Mr.. Blaine for pushing it so vigor-
Ously; reafiirms his advocacy of the pro-
tective tariff policy; points to the reduced
cost of living under it; shows the benefit
of the tariff law to labor and the savings in
in the free list: wants every dollar, paper
or coin, issued or authorized by the govern
ment, to be at all times and in all its uses.
the exact equivalent, not only in debt pay
ing but in purchasing power, of any other
dollar, and renews his call for non-parti-
san revision of the election laws in the
interest of fair and free ballot. The let
ter closes with this terse and pungent COM
passion of the programs of the two parties:
"The Democratic party offers program
of demolition. The protective policy-to
which all business, even that of the import
er is now adjusted-the reciprocity policy,
the new merchant marine, are all to be de-
molished-not gradually, not taken down,
but blown up. To this program of de-
struction it has added one constructive feat
ure, the reGstablishment of state banks of
issue.
"The policy of the Republican party is, on
the other hand, distinctively a policy of
safety, progression and development-of
new factories, new markets and new ships
1t will subject business to no perilous
changes, but offers attractive opportunities
for expansion upon similar lines"

Two more steamers from Hamburg
reached New York last Saturday with the
dreaded cholera on board. On one of
them, the Rugia, there were twenty-three
deaths during the passage and several new
cases and eight or ten deaths have occurred
on the vessels since their arrival These
two vessels and the Moravia, previously ar
rived, are all in the lower bay under strict
quarantine. A hospital has been erected
on Swinburne island where a large number
OF cholera patients are being cared for and
where several deaths have occurred. The
situation naturally creates much uneasiness
in New York, but the health officers feel
confident of their ability to keep the infec-
tion from reaching the city.
The disease appears to be on the increase
in Hamburg, 333 deaths being reported on
Tudesay. 1t appears to have gained foot
hold in Paris, Al cases and 26 deaths being
reported here on Tuesday. The situation in
Russia shows no improvement.

RusseII's Lame Reason.
From the Boston Record.l

1t doesn't do for John L. Russell to go
about Vermont firing off his free-trade
TRADES, and expecting to have the yarns
accepted without dispute. The men up
there are too smart. At Rutland Thursday
night j. d. Spelman, a lawyer, arose and
asked why, if the Mckinley bill was such
an outrageous measure, the present Con-
gress, which was overwhelmingly Demo
cratic, had not repealed it? Russell lamely
said Congress was composed of many new
and inexperienced men, and consequently
was an unwieldly body; also that the SEN
ate being Republican, as was also the exc
cutive, it was plain that any attempt in the
way of repeating the bill would fall {!

If Commissioner Peck had been Re-
publican and had produced a report which
favored the Democratic contention that
protection lowers wages and diminishes pro-
ductiou, the Mugwumps would have hailed
him as lone of u.s." a truly Independent
statesman and philosopher. But Mr.. Peck
is a Democrat and his statistics are very
damaging to the free trade cause, conse-
quently the Mugwumps, who are always
prating about the insignificance of party
ties, berate him as dislOyal to his party.

neath Of the Poet whittier.

John G. Whittier, the Quaker poet, and
distnctively the poet of the common peo-
pie, who has touched the heart and stirred
the best impulses of the multitude as no
other American poet ever has, died at
Hampton Falls, N. H., early Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Whittier was almost s.
years old and his death was due simply to
the wearing out of age.

The election in Brattleboro was not
marked by any excitement. A light vote
was pOlled, but il was as large as either
party expected to see at the first trial of
the new secret voting system at a general
election. The voting began promptly at
the opening of the meeting and continued
steadily, but without any rush or pressure,
until the bulk of the votes was in. Prob
ably the greatest number was cast in the
two hours from half-past II on. The
leaders of both sides were diligent and ac-
tive in watching the check list and bring
ing in their voters. The main interest CEN
tired in the vote for town representative,
and when the box was turned at o'clock,
and the result announced soon afterward,
these figures were shown:
Whole number cast, 1874
Necessary to a choice, 63S
j. l.. Martin had 749
L. C. Dunklee, AGA
G.. E. Crowel, 90
c. w. Wyman,
Mr.. Martins election was therefore carried
by majority of 224 votes over all.
For purposes of comparison the vote for
representative in 1888 and 1890 is of inter-
est. In 1888 it stood:
Whole number cast, 1437
Necessary to a choice, 719
II. d. Holton had $50
o. A. Marshall, 463
G. Z. Crowell, A
HOltOn's majority, 423.
In 1890 924 votes were cast on the first
ballot and 92S on the second. The respect
i've candidates had
1st I'd.
w. F. Richardson, 497 428
o. A. Marshall, 5O7 $40
Scattering, 10
Mr. Marshalls majority on the second
ballot was 90.
These figures show that the Democrats
cast just one more vote for representative
this year than in 1888, and it is certain
that no increase is indicated over their
vote in 1890.
When the polls were finally closed and
the vote on the state and county ticket was
declared late in the evening, this result
was shown:
Fuller, 1862
Smalley, 4O3
Scattering, AZ
Tables comparing this years gubernato-
rial vote with that of 1888 and 1890, and
giving also the detailed vote of the county
in the state and county ticket, are printed
on the eighth page of this paper.
The gratifying fact is shown that Col
Fuller ran 40 votes ahead of his ticket in
his own town.
The Republican vote of the town shows
II per cent of loss over 1883 and the
Democratic vote II per cent. The same
