November In discussing the result in his
state with the acknowledgements Ia
coma correspondent Gen. Ripley said yes
terday:
We ali expected big majority for the
state ticket. although 1 did not look for
$500. This majority IS unprecedented n
the history OF the state. The largest ma
tority ever before cast for the Republican
ticket in Vermont was in 1855. when Grant
was elected the first time The state was
full OF vigorous young men. who had gone
through the war and who wanted to do
the best they knew how by their old COM
mander. Grants ma JoFity was about D.
900. II i remember correctly. In that cam
paign. Of course. there was no issue as
compared with the present one, and this
fact makes the 5000 ma jority the more
emphatic. don't know what Il Will be In
November. bat you can depend on IL, Yer

try, and his predictions Will likely be fully
verified. he is in Tacoma docking after
