White River Junction, Vt, Sept. Il
The Green Mountain state declared for
Josiah Grout. republican. for Governor,
to-day, and for the republic state
ticket entire by a majority that equaled
the predictions Of the most confident
republican managers. Returns from
the distant towns are, as usual, rather
slow IN coming in, but the count IN all
sections of the state shows substantial
republican gains, indicating that the
majority for the republican state ticket
will be about 10000. This is the larg-
est majority ever given for Governor
in this state. the nearest approach to it
being In 1888. when the majority was
27,6Ss. The republican leaders tonight
claim the majority may reach $4,000
and even $4,000.
Henry II. Powers, the republican
Congressional candidate in the First
district, and William Grout, in the
Second, are both reelected by increased
majorities. and the state Senate and
House are in the control of the republi
cans by practically the same majority as
two years ago
The weather was cool and fair
throughout the state and brought out
hundreds of republican voters who
have not been to the polls in years.
Practically the full republican vote was
cast On the other hand, the lack of

Many democrats who do not indorse

same as four years ago.
The ticket elected is as follows; Gov
