A delegation OF Vermont Republi-
cans will visit Maj. Mckinley at Can
ton Friday. In the party are Red
field Proctor, Congressman Powers
and Grout, Gov. Woodbury., Lieut..
Gov. Mansur, Josiah Grout, governor
elect. and about $50 others. The spe-
cial train is scheduled to leave St. Al
bans Wednesday evening, going Dy
way of the Central Vermont to Nor
wood, thence to Buffalo over the New
York Central and from there to Cleve-
land by the Lake Shore. The YER
monters will be given a reception by
the Republicans of Cleveland Thurs
day evening and early Friday morning
will proceed to Canton to pay their
respects to Maj. Mckinley.
Bennington, Caledonia, Chitten-
den, Orange and Windham counties
more than doubled their majorities OF
four wears ago. OF course in state
with the farming interest SO very
large as it is here, Vermont stands as
distinctly agricultural state and
the vote was at once taken as showing
that farmers were not clean daft with
popecracy, but examination OF the re-
turns in detail will show this fact IN a
special way. Take the eight largest
towns-Rutland, Burlington, st. Al
bans, st. Johnsbury, Barre, Montpe-
lier, Brattleboro and Bennington
and it is found that they fell far be-
hind the state as whole in the race.
The eight cast Ago Democratic votes
in 1892, against A, l36 last week Tues
day, showing loss of 524 or little
over ii per cent, while the Democratic
vote in the whole state shrank twice
that. The returns all through show
the best figures in the smaller towns
and in the more purely farming coun-
ties.
According tothe Associated Press,
returns have been received from every
town and city in the state, mostly d.
rect from town clerks, which give the
following vote for governor: Grout,
Rep, 81, 1896; Jackson, DEM, l4,905;
Battell, Pop, 63l; Whittemore, Pro-,
525; Grout's plurality, 3s,49l; major
ity over all, 37,345. The vote in the
whole state in 1892 was: Fuller. Rep.
3s,9ls; Smalley, DEM, 1926; all
Others, 1856; Fuller's plurality, 1902;
majority over all, 1886. The Re-
publicans make a gain of los per
cent in tteir majority over that OF
1892. The gain in the Republican
vote is 81 per cent; loss in Democratic,
% IL per cent. Windsor county
alone gives Republican majority
which is nearly "a per cent OF the total
Democratic vote cast in the state this
year. 1t gives plurality Of 5,l29, an
increase OF 2,54l over four years ago.
1t is the largest plurality and largest
total gain Of any county in the state.
It's Stickney's own county.
