THE WBIG STATE CONVENTION s,
CANDIDATES.

The gathering Of Wings at the State Con
veniion is said 10 have been highly respecIa-
! bic in numbers and The high character Of
the individuals assembled. We notice The
names OF some of the finest men in the stale
among those engaged in the proceedings.
All the couniies were represented except
ESSEX. Every thing went on tremendously.
The nomination Of Horace Eaton for Cover
nor was sgnifcd by the unanimous rising Of
the Convention. At the sitting Of the nom-
mating Committee. it is no marvel that the
present excellent Governor had his supper
tiers. Mr.. Coolidge had several votes, chief
ly from Windsor County. Nevertheless.Ihe
nomination of Mr.. Earnn once made. he
will doubtless receive the cordial support Of
every Wing. During his legislative career
in Montpelier, no man bias more perfectly
enjoyed the confidence Of the public than
Horace Eaton. He has uniformly acquitted
himself. greatly to his own honor and the
advantage ofrhe State. Indeed. there IS no
man in the State upon whose prudence. abil-
iry and perfect integrity greater reliance
can be placed. We can support him with
hearty good will. ami we trust the people will
do the same.
Leunard Sergeant Of Bennington County,
seems TO enjoy The full confidence Of the
Wings in tina, region. He is well esteemed
by those who know him. and has bad con-
siderable experience in the Legislature ofihe
State.
Col. Jeweit Of Montpelier is we'll known
in that vicinity as man of integrity. aud
fully capable of dischargiug the duties Of the
Office of Treasurer.

his constituents were not ready 10 lick the

should drive them into The support Of meas

could not have share Of he honors of gov

the comforts of life. The Ohio delegation
was ready to vote for war taxes, but they
would not impose on tea and coffee war
