THE VOTE IN VERMONT.
Republican State Ticket Is Elected
Plurality of $4,000 Claimed
on Governor.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. L.
Vermont on Tuesday elected governor
and other state officers, two members Of
congress, 30 state senators and one rem
resentative from each city and town.
AS was expected, the republicans were
generally victorious, electing their en-
tire ticket and maintaining control of
the legislature by the usual large ma
jority.
Returns received at midnight indi-
cate that the republicans elected the
head of their ticket by plurality
equal, If not greater, than that re-
turned for William w. Stickney when
he was eletced governor in 1900.
Stickney. however, received the sup.
port OF many gold democrats and the
republicans generally did not look for
more than $4,000 plurality in to-day's
election. Slickney was elected four
years ago by 1892 plurality over Sen
ter Compared with 1900 the vote
Tuesday shows a republican gain of
one per cent. and democratic loss of
five per cent. If the cities and towns
still to be heard from show similar re-
publican gains Bell was elected by q
plurality even greater than Stickney
received. Secretary A. z. Watson. Of
the republican state committee, claims
the state by $4,000 plurality.

Oshkosh, Wis, Sept. 2.-Former Gov
George w. Peck, of Milwaukee, was
chosen as the standard bearer of the
democrats of Wisconsin, having received
the nomination for governor by accla-
nation in the state convention amid
great enthusiasm. Other candidates for
state offices named are as follows: Lieu

William F. Wolf. La Crosse; railroad

The platform upon which the nomi-
nees will stand cordially approved the
principles declared by the last demo-
cratic convention at ST. Louis and the
nomination Of Hon. Alton Parker for
president and Hon. Henry G. Davis for
vice president. The platform favors
the creation of commission to regulate
all public service corporations, favors

TRY TO REACH PEACE.
Chicago Butcher Workmen, However.
Vote Against Ending the
Strike.

Chicago, Sept. with the vote of
the butcher workmen in Chicago ap-
parently in favor of continuing the
packing house strike and with the vote
in other centers in favor of ending it,
the result is in doubt. The count of
the ballots will be announced this aft
ernoon by President Donnelly. Those
conversant with the situation regard
the strike as practically at an end,
whatever the outcome of the voting
formality. Only a minority of the
strikers in Chicago cast any vote at all.
Absence of any provision for the I'M
skilled workmen in the terms agreed
to between Donnelly and the packers
proved to be the chief barrier to peace.
The strikers said they would be betray-
ing the cause for which they have
fought should they leave the unskilled
men to obtain unemployment as best
they could. They argued that mas
much as the strike was called in or
Ger to prevent a reduction in the wages

be protected in some way.

heard argument by the members Of the
board of Cancellation on the question
of the right Of operators to collect
money from employees with which to
pay check weighmen and docking bosses
unless legal assignment of the amount
is made by the employee. The question
was recently decided by Umpire Wright,
but the operators claimed that he over
stepped his authority, and the matter
by the consent Of all members Of the
