CAMPAIGN ~ VERMONT.
Republicans May Not Get the Usual
Large Majority.

Montpelier. Vt. Sept. 2-The close OF
the campaign in Vermont came las, night
with political gatherings in nearly every
city aud town in the state.
Tuesday will be election day and the re-
suit Is anxiously awaited by the leaders
Of the two parties. In the opinion Of the
men who are popunrly supposed to guide
the destinies OF the parties. Il is not 80
much who will be elected. as the size OF
the vote analysed into percentages OF
gain or boss, as compared with the vote
OF four years ago.
The Green Mountain State has always
been in the Republican column. and It's
pluralities. when national issues have
been infested into les state canvass, have
been equal to and even larger than the
Democratic vote nself. This year the
canvass has not been quite as vigorous
as that OF four years ago. although the
Democrats have done larger amount OF
work. Much OF the old-time enthusiasm
and fireworks have been missed. and Il
was not until a fortnight ago that the
actual work OF arousing the voters began.
The legislative night and the license Is
sue will enter into the hailos to some ex-
tent. The former was precipitated by the
candidacy OF Congressman William w.
Grout and former Gov. William p Oh
lingham for United States senator TO an
the vacancy caused by the death OF Sen
asor Justin morrill,. the unfinished term
having been filled by Judge Ross through
the Governors appointment.

not figure on the plurality OF t0.Ooo which
they secured four years ago.
