THE VERMONT ELECTION. ¢ election for Stuty oflleers, Representa- in Congress, and members of the Legis hiture whieh took place in Vermont yester- day resulted In nu overwhelming vietory for the Republicans by what promises to be, when tho figures in full are revelved, the largest majority ever .gtven in that State, ‘Tho eampalgs preceding yesterday's poll had been unusually active on both sides, rete dored so by the eiforts of the Democrats to at Jenst cut down the Republican ma jority very largely, and thereby demonstrate iu the first contest of the Presktential year in 8 Northern State a falling off fn Republlean strength and a corresponting inerease on the Demoeratle slide, With this end in view, fut having for an extra teltement the hope of produclig an effect upon the Maine elees {ion by showhng in Vermont a Republican Joss und a Democratic galn, the Democrats made a more thorough and energetle ennviss of the Green Mountain State than they have done for several years. Party spirit ran high, aul everyting was doue that the [aneoek nuitagers in New York could devise to poll every Democratic vote possible to be brought out, In this they seem to Inve succeeded ex- tremely well, as tho digures at hand stows sight Demovratic gain; but what thne the Demoerney were being aroused the Republic- Ans were not Idle, and the result shows a Re- publican galt far In excess of the gain on the other side. ‘The returns from 110 towns show a Repub- Jean gain of 1,179 anda Demoerntic gain of only Tover the vote of 1870; nul the same proportion of galn in the Lit towns to be heard from at 1a, would give a Ttepub- Jew majority of 25,70, ov 400 greater than, the majority of 1872, whieh was 95,33; or 2,055 gventer than the Republiean majority of 1874, whieh was 2,705. The average e- publlean majority fur the past ter years In Vermont has been 21,054, the lowest beme 10,068, fn 1! It is plnin, therefore, that Republicanism tn 1880 Is at the zenith of Its strength, In Vermont, where, owing to the wneven distribution of politieal belongings, the ‘State being In- yarhibly Republican, it would bo fair te look for less {nterest and a smaller Increase in the Popttar vote than i closer States, ‘Fhe three, Republican candidates for Con- gress are elected by Increased majorities, and the Legislature Is Republican by at least the usual maforily, Obviously the effect on Maino will not be what the Democrats have Inbored so strenu- ously to produce, and with tho shining ex- wnple of Vermont before them the Repub- Heans of Mulue, Indiana, and Ohio In the elections soon to follow will demonstrate even tore forelbly and unmistakably than Vermont tias done their ability to more chan mateh a Solld South with a Sotld North, CHICAGO CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS, Tho Republican primaries for the threa Congressional distrlets in Chicago have been fixed for next Saturday, ‘The Democratic prhnartes have not yet been appointed. It seems to bo adinitted that the Demoerats intve little hope ef electing any one, of the three Congressmen, and are agreed that thelr only chance Hes fn the possible eonmlttal of sone error In the Republican selections. Henee the Demoeratle managers are hold- Ing hack tl the Republican nominations ghall have been made, and thelr choles will Le poverned nevording! This progrun should be a stfliclent notice to the Republics ang torgive ua part o€ their thie next Sat- urday to the work of elvethig suel delegates to the Congressional-Conventions as nay be rusted to nombnate the strongest available candidates, If the voters neglect to do this it fs very probable that, In one district at least, arrangements will bo practically completed. for the nomination of a candidate who wills yitedefeat, and not at all finposstbie that, hi the other two distriets, the endidates who shall bo the weakest before the people will secure an atlvantage In the Convention, Any such re- sult WHE undoubtedly encourage the Demo- crats to renew thelr hopes and put forth their best efforts for suceess. If, on tha other hand, fhe Republican primaries next Satter day shall resalt practically In the selection of Congressionnl eandidates who, each in ifs own district, shall be conceded ‘to ho as stronzas, arstrongerthanany othercandidate avuluble for the contest, then tho fight will really be at an end, and Chicago will con- tribute its fall stinre to the Repubilean sue- cuss of this fall In the Stuteand ithe Nation, Renders of ‘Tn Tames wir bear us out in tho statement that no effort has been made by this Journal to impose any one enndidute upon the Republicans in either of the three distilets, ‘Tho relative merits of several diferent gentlemen have been urged, and the conspleuons weakness of one or two candilates parilaily: exposed, with the solo purpose of aiding In the procurement. of such uaterlal as will be best eateutnted (1) to secure tho election of Republicans to. Congress and (2) to geeure proper . representation In Congress of tho vast interests that centre in Chicaga, If anybody tn elther district has been using Intvenees or making com- binations to weetre & nominution for Con- gress against the preferenco of the constitue ents, or fn the face of persons weakness as compared with others who are willlug te mateo tha race, Dit not willing to conspire, nnd pull wires, and set up primaries ta se. ettre the nomination, then there Is still thne fur tho Republican voters to defeat such a scheme by massing at the primaries and electing delegntes from every ward and fewnship who can be trusted to unite upon tho most avallable candidate’ without regard to previous manipulations, Inall three dis triets the Congressional material has been suillélently canvassed to cunblo every one to forma very good Iden of the relative merits ful strength of the candidates, and the judge ment of the people mny be safely trusted It ft ball be freoly eserelsed, and not clreum- vented by Judiyidual effort da behalt of this or that candidate to the prejudlee of a strong eran ‘Tie ‘Tninune has no hesitation about ox- pressing ts own Judgment as to the situation at present, which probably will not be vhanged materlutly between now aud next Saturday, Jn tho First District the choleo seenis to Ho between Messrs. Storms, Hawes, Aldsteh, sud Wiite. ‘The two gentlemen first numed have made no personal effort, 60 far nw Wo kuow, to adyanee thelr own clahns, and ape penr rather Indifferent to tha result, How- over commendable this may bd In theory, a passive candidvey of this kind fs rarely suc cessful at primaries, and docs not alwhys rp peal to the favor of a convention, If it Is possible ta wppoint a popular representative and uncommitted Convendon, which would ngres upon elther ot these two gentlemen, the result would be highly satisfactory to the constituents of tha First District, and the nominee would ahnost certainly bo eleet- a Tf, on the other han, the eholee Is tu be narrowed duwa tu Mr. Al White, of the Vast-OMlee, then the Ropih- Nenn voters of the distrtet onglit, fn their own Interest, to contfol the primaries ti favor of the former, ‘There may boa renson able denbt in tha distrletas to whether Afr, Aldrich tg thy strongest candidate who eauld ho named, but there {a0 room for doubt: ing that he fs mueh stronger fn every way {an Capt. White, of: the Post-Onley, The Jatter fs comparatively unknown to tho peo- pte of Chieaxo, Tis cantidacy for Congress fu the lending distrevet tho West fs, wide this condition, something tke an impertl nenee. It would probably never iave oe curred to him to seek the nomination If he had not thought that an espert use of tho Post-Oflee clique wotlt be able to provall at the primaries over the usual Inutliference of tho voters asa class tothe prelitinaries of av election. Any presumption of this kind should bo resented by the people. ‘The peas ple of thls elty are nyt prenored to subalt ‘lo the dictation of any cHaque in Congressional nominations; and, if Capt. While, of the Post-Oflice, Is predintnently tied to repre- sent the Flist District In Cougress,-he shoul have alven the constituents some other op portunity for ascertatntiny that fact. Mr, Ale drlett has not been n brilliant Congressnratu, but he has been 1 conservatlye representa: tive of the business Interests of his distriet; he will come before the people with a much better prospect for eleetion than an obscure man backed up by ‘an ofleeholding clique, and ho should be preferred very decidedly at the primaries over his most netive competitor, There have been several aspirants for Cons gress In the Second District (te West Divls- fon), but they have withdrawn or. been lime inated one by one until the choice seems confined to Mr. Davis, the present Iepre- sentative, and Mr. Willard Woodard. ‘Tho lutter gentleman fs certainly deserving of recognition by the people of Chienago, Me has been for many yenrs identified with the best tnterests of the city, and has always conmianded popular respect for honesty aud steadfastness of purpose in all public posi- tons he has heh. lie is known to be aman of more than average ability, and there Is every reason to believe that ho would make astrong run, that ho would be elected, and that he would represent hls constituents In Congress faithfully and erediably. It ts not to bo denied that Mr. Davis has been con- sptenousiy identified in tha minds of the people with the Ineficieney that lis been charged upon Chicago's Congressional repre- sentation of late yenrs, and this clreumstance may operate against bho in the eampaign If he be nominated, Nevertheless, If he shall deyclop the necessary strength at the primaries to foreshadow — his nomination, Jt may be regarded as some warrant of his strength before thepeopte, In order to give this test a prop- er value, however, the Republican voters on the West Silo should turn out next Satur- day in large numbers and express thelr preference ag between Mr. Woodard rnd Mr. Davis. Inthe Third District (the North Division) the candidates are Mr, E. 1. Washburne, Mr. Charles LB, Farwell, aud Mr. Barber, the pres- ent Incumbent. Mr. Washburne is absent from the city, but tt was understood when he went away that-he would accept the nom- ination If it was tendered to him with any- thing Ike unaninity, Ho was not willlag, however, lo serumble fur the distlnetion, nor to have his friends make. other offort to se cure ft for him than would be becoming to a man of his position, «There is no doubt that Mr. Washburno’s: National reputation would be a towor of strength anda great eredit to the people of the Third District, My, Chartes. i Farwell 13 recollected by the people. of Chiengo as one of the must. efficent Congressmen cyer sent from this loenl- ity, and there fy no doubt that his previous experience and great po Nitiea! nbility will enable him to serve the constituents of the Third District nduilrably both as n candidate aud asa Rep resentative. Mr. Washburne and Mr. Kare well cannot be sald to bo competitors for the nomlsation; certainly neither one would allow his namo to be used to defeat the’ other for the beneilt of athird verson. One or the other of those gentlemen ought to be selected, and each in his way would be very avallable, Mar. Barber is understood to be ont“ gtilt hunt” for the nomination, and it is hinted that his friends hope tosiip hn in between a competition made on behalf of the other two eundidates, “Such an outcome would not bo favorable to the Republicans of the ‘Muird Distriet, nor would It meet with the approval of elther of theother two gentlemen who are regarded as candidates, If the friends of elther Mr, Washburne or Mr. Farwell con- eltule that thelr favorit canuat be uominated they should transfer their strength to the other, and the prhary mectings, In our Jailg~ nent, shout be eonducted upon that theory, An all threo distriets tho main conslderation should be to draw ont the fullest and freest espression of popular preference at the primaries, OENTENNIAL DILL SPRINGER, Now that Willlaw M.
