The state election in Vermont Tuesday was quite a surprise all around, and for the first time in the state’s history a majority for the republican candidate for governor was not rolled up, therefore the election of governor will be thrown into the legislature. Owing to rain only a small vote was polled, of which the republican gubernatorial candidate received 22,366; democrat, 17,504; progressive. 13,630; and other candidates, 2,317. The legislature will be republican, of course. Boht the democrats and Progressives are well pleased over the showing'made, while the republicans are correspondingly depressed.
