Hartford. which includes White River
Junction, elected Haskins delegates by
one majority. Springfield and Royalton
went for Plumlcy.
In Windham county interest ccntered
chiefly in the fight between Easkins and
Plumley. Every town chose district dele
gates favorable TO the Brattleboro man,
and there was no contest except in Rock
ingham where a few ''s0re.heads' made a
hou-e-to-house canvass IN the interests OF
Plumley ticket but were defeated by
majority Of -. In most Of the towns
in this county the state and district dele
gates are the same aud in all cases they
are uninstructed on the govenorship, al
though in one or two towns test vote
was taken. Prouty managers claim for
him 10 OF the 62 delegates in this county
but the outcome viii all depend upon
Returns on the governorship fight show
that Washington and Orange counties
went solidly for Stanton who has lead
in Windsor, Addison and Bennington
counties. On the other hand, Prouty
has his own county, most OF Caledonia,
Essex, Chittenden, Franklin and about
half of Grand Isle and Lamolle. The best
estimate gives Prouty 400 and Stanton
f36 delegates.
In the first congressional district fight
Congressman Foster was an easy winner
over Fish.
