Thou.apd-An Indication OF the
Presidential election.

Dbpl. L. L lie bTeen MOunUdlu
State declared for Josiah Grout
(R.) of Derby for Governor today
and for the Republican State
ticket entire by majority that
equaled the predictions of the
most confideri an man
ayers. Returns. N the distal {
towns are, as usual, rather
slow in coming in, but the count
all sections shows substantial Re-
publican gains, indicating that
the majority for the Republican
State ticket will be about 10000.
This is the largest majority ever
given for Governor in this State,
the nearest approach to it being
in 1888, when the majority was
27,6S3. The Republican leaders
tonight claim that the majority
may reach $4,000 and even 81, 900.
Henry II. Powers, the Repub.
lican Congressional candidate in
the first district, and William
Grout in the second a:e both re-
elected by increased majorities,
and the State Senate and House
are in the control of the Repub-
licans by practically the same
majority.
The weather was cool and fair
throughout the State, and
Liought out hundreds of Repub-
lican voters who have not been to
the polls in years. Practically
tie fully Republican vote was
cast. On the other hand, the lack
OF organization in the Democratic
ranks was apparent. Many Dem
ocrats who do notindorse the Chi
cngo convention platform remain
ell away from the polls, while the
more dissatisfied ones voted for
the Republican ticket. The Pop
ulist and the Prohibition vote was
practically the same as four years
ago. The ticket elected was as
follows:
Governor = Josiah Grout of
Derby.
Lieutenant Governor - Nelson
W. Fisk.
State Treasurer - Henry +.
Field of Rutland.
Secretary of State-Chauncey
W. Brownell of Burlington.
State Auditor-Franklin d.
Hale of Lunenburg.
Congressman - First district:
Eenry III. Powers of Morrisville;
Second district - William W.
Grout Of Barton.

BURLINGTON VII, September
B. b. Smalley, member of
tue Democratic National Commit
t.a for Vermont, who has in pre-
ylous Presidential campaigns been
a. active worker at national head
quarters, says the figures look
nore like a Republican caucus
tran an election. He starts for
Europe tomorrow to remain until
after the Presidential election.
The estimate of 10000 plurality
rs the measure of Vermont's Re-
publican victory bids fail to be
7 4Iized by the official figures.
Complete returns from 24l out of
247 counties and towns give Grout
fer Governor 53,S24; Jackson,
1866; Republican plurality,
39.4lS. The six towns to hear
from will increase the plurality to
more than 39,500.
The Republican vote is 5302
larger than any ever before cast,
and the Democratic vote is smaller
than in any election since the
close of the Rebellion. The Re-
publican plurality is 10000 larger
than was ever given a candidate
f., Governor. There is gain in
the Republican plurality ever the
T esidential figures of 1892 of IL
