Dillingham; and Gen. Grout met in the cor
ridor of the Pavilion, when the General
extended his hand to the Senator and
offered his congratulations. "But," he
said, 81 am not sure that they will be given
in proper form because up to this time l
have not often had occasion to congratulate
my opponent on his success" A very
happy turn of the situation by the Gene--
al, it must be confessed.
To what extremity Grout was reduced
in the dying struggle of his canvass is
shown by the fact that on Wednesday after
noon one of his representatives went to
Mr.. Prouty with an urgent proposition
that the Prouty and Ross men unite to de-
feat Dillingham; and elect Grout. In re-
turn Grout would agree positively not to
be a candidate for reelection, but at the
end of two years would turn his strength
to secure Prouty's election. This PROPOSE
ton Mr.. Prouty refused to consider.
1t is a fact to be cordially recognized
that Charles A. Prouty has acted a mans
part in the contest. After the vote on

peoples choice, that he did not feel JUST.
fed in being party to delaying for another
day the work of the legislature, and that
he wished his friends to feel free to vote as
they pleased in future. Early this morn
ing Mr.. Prouty went to Gov. Dillingham;
and announced to him his withdrawal as
already stated.
On the final ballot "a Democratic votes
were given to Dillingham;, II to Grout, six
to Haselton, and two did not vote. If
every Democratic vote had been cast
against Gov. Dillingham; he would have
been elected by majority of two Repub-
lican votes. But full credit must be given
to the Dillingham; Democrats who put
principle above party in their final action.
In spite of all the talk about political
trades their action was entirely voluntary,
and there was not even an understanding
between them and the Dillingham; men of
any future political benefits to be received
by them whether on the bench of the
supreme court or otherwise.

The election of judges and other state
officers this afternoon did not result in
putting any Democrats into Office, but
bill introduced in the senate today
by Senator Royce provides for repre-
sentation Of the minority party on all
state commissions. The fact that this bill
comes from Senator Royce removes it from
the suspicion Of being put forward by the
partisans of either Dillingham; or Grout,
and there seems general disposition to
view Senator Royce's plan with favor, es-
peclally II the scheme Of adding an eighth
judge to the supreme court falls through.

The Regular Proceedings.
MONTPELIER, Oct. II

MONTPELIER, Oct. 10.
The forces engaged in Vermont's great
senatorial battle were in action today for
the first time and everything else in and
around the capitol paled into insignif-
canoe. In sustained interest, the present
contest has beaten everything else in the
annals of Vermont politics for half CEN
fury, and the excitement is still at the
highest pitch.
Last night there gathered here host of
politicians from all parts of the state and
men who had not appeared in public life
for decades, resurrected themselves for the
occasion. 1t has been apparent, as stated
in The Phoenix last week, that Dillingham;
would lead on the first ballot, and the re-
suit of the voting today has justified the
claims of the Dillingham; supporters.
During the voting today at the state
house, every inch of available space was
filled by interested spectators. 1t is prob
able that never before was the capitol so
congested by eager and excited humanity.
The Senate got down to business first at
2:15. Mr.. Dillingham; was nominated by
Senator DeBoer; Senator Dunnett named
Gen. Grout; Senator Clement spoke for
Prouty; while Senator Royce eloquently
expounded his own views in behalf of
Judge Ross. The result of the balloting
was as follows: Whole number 80; Dill
bingham 10, Grout eight, Prouty three,
Ross one.

speakers desk. Gov. Dillingham; was
evidently laboring under suppressed emo
ton and nervous tension as, in very brief
words, he expressed his deep qualification
that he had been thought worthy to repre-
sent the people of Vermont in the high Of
fee of United States senator, and thanked
the general assembly and the people of the
state for the favor thus conferred on him.
1t was then moved and carried that a
recess of Is minutes be taken to enable
the senators and representatives to extend
their congratulations to the senator elect,
and this time was afterward indefinitely
extended to give the same privilege to all
visitors and spectators, among whom were
= large number of women.
After the session of the joint assembly
was resumed the senator-elect sat by the
side of Speaker Proctor in friendly CONVEX
sation. The face of the speaker, Col. F.
d. Proctor, showed no trace of disappoint-
ment because the candidate for whom he
had voted had not been successful.

The VOIe of the Windham County Mem
bers.

The votes of the Windham county
yesterday on the final and decisive ballot
for senator: For Dillingham;, Messrs. Swan
of Athens, Waterman of Brattleboro, Bush
of Brookline, Hslladay of Dover, Miller of
Dummerston, Pettengill of Grafton, Smith
of Halifax, Kidder of Jamaica, Smith of
Londonderry, Whitney of Marlboro, Will
lams of Newfane, Houghton of Putney,
Howard of Rockingham, Tudor of Somer-
set, Lackey of Stratton, Akley of Vernon,
Thompson of Westminster, Sawyer of
Nottingham, Porter of Wilmington and
Edison of Windham; for Grout, Gale
Guilford and Franklin of Townshend; for
Ross, Newell of Wardsboro.
On Tuesday Houghton of Putney &C.
casiOned surprise by voting for Grout, but
he stated in private that he had in this
way fulfilled personal obligation, and on
the two succeeding days he voted for Dill
bingham. On Tuesday Thompson of
Westminster was paired to enable him to
attend the wedding of his son. Newell of
WRrdsboro voted straight for Ross and
Franklin of TOwnshend for Grout. With
these exceptions the 20 Republican votes
of the county were given to Dillingham; on
every ballot. The three Democratic men,
bers voted with their party for Haselton
on Tuesday and Wednesday. Senators
Cudworth and Miller voted always for
Dillingham; as matter of course. Tudor
Of Somerset probably enjoys the distinction
of having been the most assiduously be-
sieged by the Grout emissaries of any Dill
bingham man in the legislature, but his
good nature carried him through the Or
deal without a quaver. There was never
any reason to question the loyalty to Dill
bingham of Smith of Halifax.

Adams of Port Byron, H., brother Of the
bride, assisted by Rev. J. H. Reid, and
Rev Geo. f. Chaplin. The wedding was a
private one, only very few outside of the
immediate family being present. A pleas
ant feature Of the affair was the presence
of the Sunday school class which the bride
has taught for a number of years in the
Congregationalist church. After a short
reception Mr. and Mrs Henderson left on
the three O'Clock train for ten days trip
to Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. They
