Vermont Returns.
Washington, Sept. 6.-Wellman's spe-
icial to Time rald-Vermont leads the
way. The significance of yesterdays
election in the Green Mountain state.
according to the republican view in
i this city. is that every state in the east
will give a majority 10 Mckinley and
Roosevelt two months from today.
just as, the result of the recent voting
N Oregon has indicated republican
gains in the far West, 50 the result in
Vermont is held to be conclusive evi-
8Gsfee that the cas-, is, against Bryanism
by decisive najorities
isepublicans have awaited the Yer
mont voting With undisguissd anxiety.
The republican victory in that state in
ls96 Nas of such enormous and unusual
proportions, it was feared there would
ba q great ana discouragifg slump this
Ns2l 1t did not seem possibie that fig
lis9 even approSimating the over
whslinins' majority in 1896 could be at
famed in 1900.
There are a good many Independents
in little Vermont. The people of that
state are conservative to a noteworthy
essree There VAS nNiety lest the new
i issues of this campaign the colonial
ana imperialism questions, should
brighten a good many of them.
Above all, apathy wasfeared Senator
Proctor of Vermont told me month
ago he expected only light Vote in his
Essate. The people We're prosperous and
contented. they believed the country
Vas geing5t q re-elect Mckinley anyway,
and they SAW no reason why they should
bes'tir themselves. He looked to see the
state majority drop back to the norma,
t f1gufes of 5000 or less.

IN 5aedltion 70 the democrats VINO vot-
ed for Gen. IA liner IN 1896 probably
1000 men who cast their ballots for
4 Mckinley N four years ago this Year sup
ported the democratic ticket Not all
of them may do go in November on ma
/ tiona issues but admitting thai they
/ do, then the proportion of Mckinley
voters IN 1896 VINO go over 20 5ryan
/ this year is'in Vermont about to 20.
Apply this ratio to other states in the
least and it will be seen that every cleo
i toral vote east of Ohio is safe fer Me-
4 kinley. This the republicans are now
/ claiming with confidence. They have
mo doubt of New York, nor of New
Jersey. and they believe they will carry
Maryland. West Virginia and Della
ware by safe majorities.
The result In Vermont has had a Won
tlerfili effect in the ayof stimulating
republican confidence in this part of the
4 country.
