Incomplete returns from the Vermont
state election yesterday show that the
vote polled was only about 1000 less than
at the September elections of 1896 when
the turnout was the largest in the his
tory of the state. The falling Off In the
Republican plurality on governor IL there
fore not TO be accounted for on the
ground of light vote. On the contrary
the loss of plurality was about Gooo, and
thus fully 1000 voters must have changed
from the Republican 20 the Democratic
column since the upheaval OF 1895. Nor
were there any striking circumstances in
the local situation by which the flop Is TO
be explained. Undoubtedly the Gold DEM
ocrats Of Vermont have voted for the
Democratic nominee for governor where
four years ago they voted the other
way IN September as well as in Novem-
Der.
on the other hand the Republican man
ayers had only predicted 5000 plurality,
and they seem TO have rolled up more
than that. Their plurality, In spite of the
shrinkage since 1896 is the greatest In the
history OF the state with the single ex-
caption OF that four years ago.
