There is a "New South." Wo bavo proof it in the extrctne ruodesty of the Democrats of Arkansas in anuounoing a victory thero of only 23 to 30,000 major ity at the State election on Monday last. As they could just as well have counted It up to 100,000, and have in fact only niade it one-third or one-quarter that amount their nioderation ie evidence of a chango down there. We know, indeed "we felt it in our bonos" that the Presldcnt'd retaliatory mea8age on Canada would have o great cffect on the election of tho country. That wna what it was written fnr hut we did not dreatu of its striking eo near home. We had no idea that it would bavo the effect to elect a Democratic Canuck iu Woodford a rnember of tho Gcneral Asaembly of Vermont. Carry the nows to the Dotninion Qovernmcnt. Protectionists claim and free tradere deny that one of tho flrst results of the enactincnt of such a meaeurc aa the Milla hill would be the cnkancement of the cost of foreign products. Tho fol lowing froni the St. James Gazette ehows that tho protectioniats are rigbt. "The passing by the United States House of Representative of the Mills tariff bill, which placea tln plates on tho frco liet, has Ied to a eharp rise in the price of tin, Yeeterday Straits touched 89 7a. Cd. caali, and 89 15a. threo montha. Thia ia un adranco f rom 14 to 15 on the figure8 quoted recently. If the Sen ato paases the bill in its prcaent forui.tin will command higher pricea than have ruled of late, and a great impetua will be given to an important branch of man ufacturo in thla country." Senator Edmunda of Vermont, in an stver to a correapondent who askcd liim whether he thought tho Republlcan par ty wob coing to win on the bueineas is aue iuvolved in the tarilT question, eaid : "While that may afford agood and sufH cieni reaaon for defcating theDeinocrat Ic party, I think the Republicana are go ing to win because tho people are diaap. pointed and disgusted with the promisos and pretenso of the Democratio Admin iatratlon. Thia Adrainlatratlon came into power hcralded by declarationathat it was going to reform and purlfy the Oovernment. It was to put a atop to corruption and Kepublican cxtravagonce and to turn out dishoncst and rascally ofQcials. It catne into power and found no corruption, It could not diacovcr any raacally officials to punrsh. In other words, it obtained power through mie repreaentation, Thero ia no doubt that thero waa, during tho last campaign, a number of peoplo who had becotne alTectcd by thia hrge Democratic charge of Kepublican mal-adminiatration." Tho oiection of Mr. Charlea E. Well ing as our town representative, ia a most gratifying reeult of the election, No other feature is moro pleasing than this. Ue ia, as wo aro all aware, ono of our most reepected citizcns II o is a rnem ber of tho Kepublican stato committee, and ns suchhaa done eftective eervicein the state campaign. By rcason of thia, ho will be well known at Montpelier aud will be ablo thereby to forward any and all interests of Bennington and Bennington county that may come be fore tho legislature for consideratlon, Not that political influcnco is specially potcnt in such mattcre ; it ia not as a gcn eral thing, but a person liolding a prom inent positlon iu liia paity has an ad vantage overany man who ia cooapara tively unknown. We matle no warfare on Mr. TiiTany, hla opponont. Ue too ia a good citizen, and received vcry gen erally the support of hia party, but the third party movemcnt to aid liim amounted to nothing. The Tribune says : Probably the most notable change in political views made by any peraon in Allegany county thia year is that of II. N. Lewlp, of Wella ville. Mr, Lowia was formerly a Kepub lican, but joined the Prohibition party about bii yeara ago, He ia a wealthy banker, and one of the raostupright and influcntial men in the county, Four yeara ago ho was treasurer of tho Prohi bttion campaign fund, and has bceu one of the foremoat men in that party. Now he declarea that all connection between him and tbe Third Party has ceaeed. In an interview yesterdny, Mr. Lewis eaid that he had made up hia mind to vote for Ilarrison and Mortonsotne time ago, but would not express himaelf publicly until after the Republicana had nomlna tcd their county ticket. Thia was done last Tucsday, "and" Baid Mr. Lewis, 'I shall vote the whole Kepublican ticket, because I can do better eervice to the temperance cauee by bo dolng than in any other way, I can find no cleauer ticket nor better platform." Mr. Lewis will bo hearlilj welcomed back into Ke publican ranks, and there Ia no doubt that hia influence will lead many more to follow hia examplo. Judge Barncs Friabie of Poultney, wnting to tho Journal of that town, saya ; "Tbe firat settlers of the Green Mountun State were a remarkable eetof men. Among thi leaders wore the Al len.s, Ethan and several brothers, Scth Warncr.tbo Chittenden, tho Chipmane, Roraember Baker, tho Porters, tho Mar ions, the Bradleye, tho Faya, the Bir- nums, the Clarks, Joeeph Bowker.Jonrs Oalurhn and Isaac Ticlienor. But thoae few leaders were not the only ones worthy of notico. It ia the prido and glorj of the peoplo in our early hlatory that overy man was a hero. There lics the secret of our euccesa In the Kevolution and in tho formation of a republican govcrnment. And aa thoso common raen, as wo migbt Bay, to distinguish them from the leadera, found their way into Vermont, each one Bettled on a pieco of Iand covered with a foreat, and if ho bad nothing but an ax he began at once to lt thu eun m upon hia Iand, Tho flrst eettlers of Vermont were Yau keva from tho crowns of their Iieada to to the eolos of their feet, The hlatory of Vermont from the setlleiuent of Bon nlnuton in 17G1 to tho admlsslon of Ver mont into the Union in 1791, a period of tnirty yeara, says one ot oui hiatorians, "ia wilhout a parallcl in the liistory of tho world." Tho Hartford Courant remarks : "Wolldone, Vermont, and aska Con necticut which she Ia going to vote with this year Vermont or Arkansas, Send 10 cents and receive the Ban- lier from now until Novomber 8, in-clusive. tiik vnrroiiY. The newa of the great victory Ver mont has won for Protection over the Freo Trade forcea is spreading all over tho country. The exact figure8 weare unable to give at this writlng, but it ia enough to know that we have ttruck the enemy a blow tbat ia eeverely felt in every quattcr. In 1884 Governor Pin' greo bad a niajority of 22,704 over his Democratio opponent and in 1880 Gov- ernor Ormsbco had 20,583 oyer hia Thla year Governor Dillingham will have some 23,000 lo 29,000 over his. The ecattering vote In '84 was larger than iu '80, and in '86 larger than in 'SS.but that vote is emall and would boof no account even if much larger, in reckoning the real reaulta of our victory. The question ia, how has Cleveland'a Free trade poll cy nlfected the voto of Vermont? Had tbe Preaident in hia rucfsigeto CongreeB last Decembcr omilted to attack the in dustriea of tho country and conflned himself to thc usual recommendatnno to that body, there would have been no such revivul of Republican activity as has becn witnesaed ever pince. Ho waa well known to bo a protoctioniat Demo- crat when clected. Hia converaion to to the Free Trade Democracy 08 an nounced in hii messago waa a Eurpriac to everybody. But Uarlisle, Watler6on and the other Southern leaders had won blm over to the Southern side, tho ri le of power in the Democratio party, and the reeult waa a warfare on h'u part aRainst Protection, and a constquent llgljt for his re-election, Without this attack from him, his re-eleclion waa reaaonably aasured, After that he could only get it, if at all at the cnd of a long and hard etrugglo. The Republicans at once took up the guage of battle thus thrown down and most gallantly have they carried the contest on ever since. Oregon was the flrst responso from them, in n majority of 7,000 agaimt hia new policy, but thia waa before the renominatlon of eitlier tho Free Trade or Protection candidatea and before the lines wore falrly drawn. But now comea Vermont, nlter thc issuo is fully made up, and after a most exciting conflict, in which the Demo cratic leadera have expended all their amraunitiun and av-iled themaelvca of their last resources, and delivera lier flnal volley with precision nnd eiTect into the ecatteicd and diatnayed ranks of Ihe enemy. There ia no question of the eflect of thia victory, Tbero waa no pretense of wimnderetanding the isaue. It waa the Protection doctrines of the Republican party against the Freo Trade doctrinea of the Democratic party, and tho Southern Democracy at that. The battle now ia transferred to other statea and wherever in all thia Northern Iand thero nro niills and quarriea and foreata and fnrms and shopa and homes to he defended from tho blighting influence of Frco Trade, there will bo tho same gallant defonco that tbe Green Moun- tains have witnessed, and with the same result. Ilarrison and Morton nreto win in November. CUECK TIIE NAilES. Our t jwn authoriticsought to oxercise moro carc In aecuringacnrrect checking of namcs on election day.

Thc rcturns ofTucsday's election con tinuo to como in very slowly; and It must bo Bcveral days yct bcforo tho ma jority of Govcrnor-clect Dillingham can bo known with anything approaching accuracy. Chairman l'ago of tho Kepublican Stato Committco states that according to his figurcs tho rcmainlng towns yct to bo heard from will probably uiako thc majority 28,000, and that tho I'rohibi lion vote is lcss than 1500. TIio Kiirlington Free I'rcss lias re ceived iclurns from 217 of 213 towns. whiihgivc: Dillingham, -15,830; Shurt lclT, 18,225 ; Scclcy, 1381. Tho majority for Dillingham is thus 20,330, a not gain so far of 5732, or 28 pcr ccnt. over tho majority of 1881 iu thoso town3. Thc reinaining towns gavo P69 Kepublican majority in 1881; and at tho currcnt rato of incrcaso they will add 1100 to Dillingham's luajoilly, carrying it iiplo ftllUt7,0W, The Scnato is solidly Republican, and tho ncxt IIouso will contain 220 Repub licans aud 23 Democrats. It is already obvious that the U'gisla turo chosen Tucsday will bo one of moro than ordinary strength. Josiah Grout is re-clectcd from Derby and will prob ably bo re-elocted spcaker. Among the other ablo men in the Houso will bo Redficld Proctor of Proctor, Henry Bal lard of Burlington, C. A. Proutyof New port, Hosca Mann, Jr., of Wilmington, L. D.

Bunker of Peacham, constilute no ordi nary array of epeaking talent, while John W. Cramton, Georgo Ilummond, Fred E. Smith and F. S. Stranahan will he able business legialators. The third party fizzle demonstrates that the freemcn of Vermont believe that the Republican party is the temper ance party of the country and that tem perance roform can bett be sfTected through that political organizition. The swecping Republican trlumph in Franklin county is ono of the most Big niflcant features of the great victory woti by the party in the etatc, The election of thu entire county ticket by rousiug majorities over the fusioniets, consisting ot Democrats and bolting cit izcns, is the death-knell of this disturb ing element in Franklin county palilics. Tho Tribune says : The Republican plurality is, probably, between 28,000 and 29.000, the largest given in the state for Governor in any Preeidential year since tbe Republican party was organ iz.'d, more than 30 years ago. Ueie are the pluralitieB in the September elect ione preceeding tho Presidential elections : 1850 23,0011 1R7 25.333 1860 22,370 1 876 2,73 1Mj4 18,977 1880 26,603 1808 27,321 1894 21,704 1588 29,600. This splendid result showa wbat can bo achieved by thorough and inlelligent diBCiiseion of the issues of Ihe day. The Republicaus of Vermont had a epeaking campaign under the lead of Senator Ed munds, just as tho Maine Republicans aro havlng under tbe leadersbip of Mr Blaine, and the Republicans of this state will have under tbe leadership of War- ner Miller. The great Ir-sue of tho cam ptfgii, the Protection of Homelndustry, has beeu brought home to the farmers, tho wool growers, the workingmen, and the result is thts splendid plurality. Woodford ballo'ted 14 tiraes, and M. 11. Woodwaid, Republica", tied the vote against his narue, consisting of that east for two candidates, on scven bal lots. This was nearly n Waterloo for tho Democracy in that stroughold. Three candidates ran in Shaftsbury, but that dodgo didn't work tbis year, and a stauticli Republican, II, M. Bottum,was electcd. Sandgate Democracy tried to stampede the Republicans with two can didates, but protection vas in tho nir. Somerset elccted a Kepublican represen tativo on the ninth ballot, by three ma jority, and Searaburgh elected one on the eleventh ballot by threo majority, while it rcqulred eight ballots at Reads boro, with four majority. Every federal oflice holder in Vermont took part in the campaign both on the etump und at the polls on Tuesday, In Burlington where Collector Smalley gol in his fine work the Democrats sulTered diBiistrous lossee, and in Montpelier where "Ht Atkins, who has the honor to be Vermont's representative on the Democratic National Committee, did his prettiea , the RJpublicins tnado aston- ishing gains. Verily the crack of dooui for tho Demuciacy ia not far in the future.

The result os announced is given in our regular report, This (Friday) noon juBt before we go toprea", being delayed by election returns, there aro reportj circulated on our etreols of a mUtake havlng been made in counting tjie bal lots last Tuesday east fnr Town Repre sentative, and whilo it does not invali date Mr. Wclling'a election yet it gives plausibility lo the rarlier report that the total vote dcclared was larger (by 47 as one man made it, and 51 as stated by the town clerk) than tbe check list showed had voted for that office, The original tally sheet used by First ConstableGuil- tinan in making the declaration of the count is said to be as follows : wellllng Tiflany 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 10O 48 100 19 60 100 27 100 577 67 577 41 1293 Town Clcik Booth says that bo at first supposed tbe ballots must accompany thc returns to Montpelier and eoliecare fully preserved them, In making up his State vote the ballots and the tally sheet exsctly correspond, but the representa live vote was 48 short on Jlr. Wtlling's packages. If it is trueas claimed bvuthe Democracy that tho 48 Wdling votes in the tally sheet are an crror, then the vote would have becn no choice : Whole number of votes 1244; nrcessa ry for choice, 623; Welling had 019, Tif fany 577, Potter 48. On the other hand I. E Gibsnn made a tally sheet at the time with these re- sults ; live packages of We lling votes of ono hundred each 500 votes. After tbat threo packagss containing 00, 17, and 100 each were handed lo him nnd recorded, making a total of 067 as de- clared for Jlr. Welling. Thepackageof "50 is not now forthcoming. A curious feature of this is found in the following facts. Mr. Welling runs bchind the State ticket 21, without any reason as wo can eeo because many Democrats voted for him. Mr. Ttffanv runs ahead of the Democratic Stato tick et 70, without nny reason as we can eee becaueo many Democrats votcd against him. The cnmbined voto of lleBers, Willingand Tiffany as declared was 1292 whilo the combined State is 1215 au excess on the town vote of 47 over the State vote. But the etrangeot fea ture is to come, that the check list hos, as per tho Town Clerk, 1241, or 51 votes less than the declaration. Now, where did this 51 fraudulenc votcs (If fraudulent), go to they could not have gone to Mr. Welling who Ii short 21 of hintlcktt. Did they go to Mr, Tiffany, who had 70 votes in exceBS of the Dem ocratic State ticket ? How "Tho Party of tho roor'1 1b Ailtiilnls. tered. In the courso of Mr. Mills' Trcmont Templo speech occurred these choice bits of demagoghjui : "Thc Democrniic party comes to the poor people who have been Its Bupport ; it stands by them, and it would be lo commit suicide to forsske them, Ap plause.J Now, my fnends. stnnd bv the old guard.

Scott of Erie, Pa., and the Ilon. William H, Barnum of Lime Rock, Conn. Mr. Bar num is preaident of one and director ot live railroada ; Mr. Sewall is president of four and director of thiee rallroads : Col. Brice is vice-presidmt ot ilve and director of four railroads. and Mr. Scott is president of one nnd director of twelve railroads. The devotion of thoso and other rallway magnates to"lhe party of the poor" is toucliing. but it eavors of lngratitudo that Congressnmn Mills, when ihirty-fivo railroad companies are repiesented In the Executive Campaign Committee of his party, should publicly declare that the Democrats have not many friends among these corporations.
