THE VERMONT ELECTION

The Repu blican majority in Vermont
seems certain to rise above $4,000. This
is more than double the majority at the
corresponding election four years ago.
and more than eleven thousand more
than in the last Presidential election.
There can be no question as to the
meaning of this phenomenal increase.
1t is due to the disgust of the people
with the conduct of the Democratic adj
mlnistration during the past eighteen
months. OF course this disgust is not
confined to the State of Vermont. 1t
Will be revealed all over the North,
when the people get to the polls. Maine
Will show it next Monday as strongly as
Vermont did on Tuesday. The Demo-
or attic papers Of this State understand
this per fectly, and hence they are trying
to conceal the Vermont result as much
as possible lest it may SO dishearten the
party that impending defeat may become
complete rout. Not a word of COM
ment can be found in the Argus on the
result and the Lewiston Sun undertakes
to break it's force with this essentially
dishonest paragraph:
Vermont has gone Republican and
Arkansas has voted soiidly for the Demo-
