THE VERMONT ELECTION.

Republicans Carry the State by the Largest
Majority Ever Given.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Sept. =.
The Green mountain state declared
for Josiah Grout (rep), for governor
yesterday and for the repu blican state
ticket entire by majority that equaled
the prediction of the most confident re-
pu blican managers. Returns from the
distant towns are, as usual, rather slow
in coming in, but the count in all sec
tions of the state shows substantial re-
pu blican gains and indicates that the
majority for the repu blican ticket will
be about 80 600. This is the largest ma
jority ever given for a governor in this
state, the nearest approach to it being
in 1883, when the ma ority was 27,6S3.
The republican leaders claim the ma
joritv NAV reach 35, 900 and even 81, 900.
Henry Powers, the republican congress
sional candidate in the First district,
and William M. Grout in the Second,
are both reelected by increased ma
iorities, and the state senate and house
are in control of the repu blicans by
practically the same majority as two
years ago Many democrats who do
not indorse the platform of the Chicago
convent remained away from the
polls, while the more dissatisfied ones
voted for the repu blican ticket The
populist and prohibition vote was prac-
tica1ly the same as four years ago.
