An Unusually Large Vote—Analysis of the Returns, Revised returns of Tuesday's election from the fourteen counties of Vermont give Grout (républican), 53,078, and Jack-, son (democrat), 13,983, a republican plural- ity of 39,093. The total vote cast approximated 67,000 and may have reached 68,00). This was a small fraction over 20 per cent cf the pop- ulation, which in Vermont has two pecu- lar characteristics. In the first place, it is very nearly at a standsiill. In 1880 the census showed the presence of 332,286 peo: ple, and ten years later it stood at a gain of only 156 persons. In the second place, there are mcre women in the state than men, a phenomenon that prevails to a greater cr less extent throughout the New England states. As a_ consequence the normal voting strength of the state is not only unusually stable, but it is small in compar‘son with oiher states where the sexes are more evenly divided or men pre- dominate. The normal voting ratio in a community is one-fifth of the entire popu- lition, this fraction representing the pro- portion of male adults to women and chi dren. In 180, when the people chose « governor, there were 54,226 votes cast, or 16 per cent of the population. In 1892 the total presidential vote was 55,774, or a small fraction over 16 per cent. In 1804 the vote for governor aggregated 58,1 a very little more than I7 per cent. This shcews the difficulty of getting out in Ver- ment what in other states would be re- garded as a full vote. This year, on a ballot for governor, the state issues being less than normal and the main candi standing on practically the same financia! platform, over 20 per cent of the total population went to the polls, an unpre: certed outpouring. Of this comparat great throng of suffragists about a small fraction less than 80 per c perted the republican nominee, and jority approximating 39,000, the the history of the state, was given to him. The populist candidate, who openly advo- cated the cause of free silver, received so few votes that they are generally disre- garded in the calculation. The real size of a plurality of 39,000 or 40,000 can only be appre ‘when the » of the state is taken into account, and for this purpose no method of computation serves as well as to estimate what such a preponderance of ballots would mean ‘n other states. With the population of the asa states shown by the census of INh) is, the percentage of total votes of republican strength shown in V would, if maintained | results: In Ohi sylvania, 210, round numbers, 24 in ”) plural +e- Langdon School Bantaing: Bids, The D:strict Commissioners today decided to reject all bids for the Langdon school house, and, after amending the plans, re- advertise for new bids. No complaint was found with the plans. They were modern in every sense of the word, but with only an appropriation of $8,000, and the lowest S$, no margin was left for inspe it to amend was dec plans. The new plans will call for a fra echool building, fashioned after the late iteetural effects. As soon as the plans are approved by the Commissioners new bids will be invited. 7 ANOTHER’ CASHIER WANTED For the Accommodation of the Taxpayers at the District, Collector Davin Agreeably Surprised Been No Falling Taxpayers the journey who are compelied to make to the District building and there stand in a long line for various periods from half an hour to three or four hours, will be pleased with one feature of Collector Davis’ annual report, which will urge the Commissioners to induce Con- gress to provide him with another cash in order that the public may be better ac- ccmmodated. A few days before the expiration of the time In which taxpayers are permitted to pey thelr taxes there is always a great rush tg the District building. The tax- payers know well enough that if their taxes are not paid within the stipulated time they will be subject to a penalty of 1 per cent. So they come in crowds, with the result that the single cashier is delug- ed. Before the hour of opening the build- ing arrives the crowd has formed a line, and this is graduatly augmented until it extends in a serpentlik> trail through the halls and rooms eccupled by the tax col- lector. The law only allows one cashier, and as he ts a bonded officer and is re- sponsible for all mistakes, no one can as- sist him. Ai present the District has an eficient cashier, and one who is very fast in receiving money and making change. But he is unequal to these big crowds. Any one would be. They Press and squeeze et to the little window, they have deposited. According to ~ plan of the collector of taxes anoth cashie~ will be provided, which will at least help matters by dividing the crowds Accordirg to the figures prepared for the annual report of Collector 1 is it ap- Pears that the taxpayers of Washinxtun are not suffering from hard times. Dur- ing the last fiscal year the collector re- celved in taxes from all sources a total of $5,854,65; During the previous fiscal ye he collected 5 eo of the hard t receipts and also b law the enactment of penalty for delin to ber month. Heretofore it was ber month. Such a large penaity kept the delingvent taxpayers in their accounts with the I duction of 1 the nt per cent er cent usually up to strict. Ar per cent Collector Davis thought would work a different result. He thought taxpayers would prefer to pay the penalty later in order to have the 1 their money.
