A. p. LYMAN AND HIS ASSAIL.
ANTS.

That our readers may understand
what the 800 wings in bennington
think OF Mr.. Lyman, we publish below
som. resolutions passed unaatmouIy
by large meeting Of the wings called
for the p; rposc of appointing delegates
to the LAT" District Convention:
Resoic,', That We. the wings OF
Bennington, have full confidence in the
ability and honesty Of A. T.. LYMAN,
Esq. of this Town, and that W. recon.
mend linn to the wings OF this Congress
ional District as a suitable person to
represent them in Congress. We have
known him from his boy hood, and know
him TO he an efficient, hard working,
self-sacrltcipg whig; AM TO his excr.
lions do we mainly owe our success in
hi. town and county for The last ten
years.
Resoired, That we know tina, the
slanderous reports which have been
circulated through the district derogato.
~ to the private and political character
Of Mr.. Lyman, are ta'se and without
foundation and we believe these slam
d,rs originated with persons interested
ia III. defeat in the late Convention
and that We consider the act OF the
ma j"riiy Of the Committee a, the late
Dis,ric, Mass Convention, ia presenting
10 the Convention the name Of a Wing

4. l.. LYMAN.

The nominee Of The late Convention
Mr. LYMAN, WAS born in Woodtord in
ibis county. ba, resided in bennington
for the lat thirty years. with the .xcep-
ton Of three years. from 1897 to 1910.
When quite young, Mr.. l.. was left an
orphan. without pecuniary resources,
aud has norked his orn ,coy; and OF
course knows the wants of, and can
-,mpaihize with all classes - he l.,
emphn'ieaiiy SELF made man. Since
le arrived u, the age Of majority, he
has ben n self-sacrificing, de, oted
Wing and a Jealous and able advocate
e Wing principles. To his cxertious
do We mainly owe our success in the
town and county for the last ten years.
J Til, is the first time Mr.. l.. has been
before the people rs u candidate. lie
has always preferred to work tor the
party TO working for himself; and by
disinieresredness and devotion to the
principles ofihe party, he has endeared
himself TO the Wings Of the county, and
II. high minded. frank, generous and
public spirited man, he is respected and
admired by all who know him, irrcs
pective Of party. We bespeak for him
large vote in the district; and as a
token Of our confidence in him. we will
give him the largest vote in this town
ever given 10 any one man.
We do not ask Wings to make great.
erexertions for Mr.. l.. than he has
made Tor other nominees of the party.
If they will make as great, he will be
triumphanlly elected and we can assure
our Wing friends in the district that they
will have an honest, capable representa-
tive, who will not abuse the trust re-
posed in him.
In addition 10 the above we may
state that Mr. I.yman's character
throughout the State, AS an influential
thorough.going, persevering Wing is
sufficiently attested by the fact that for
several years he has been most eff
Client member of the Wing State Com
miilcc, and for the past year its chair
man aud it is not too much to say,
that 10 the labor ard efficiency of Mr..
Lyman more than Of any othe. man, are
the Wing party Of Vermont indebted
for their organization and success
agains, the combined influence of Lo.
coiocoi,m and Free Soilism the last
year.

We understand. upon the best author
ity that Mr.. Miner last week addressed
letter TO Mr.. Lyman. conveying n
proposition honorable to himself, fair
towards his adversary, and competent,
IT accepted, to heal the division in the
Wing party. The proposition was. that
both candidates Internationally with.
druW from the canvass, and leave the
field upon to a third candidate, such as
the Wings might select. To this letter
we are not informed that any answer
has been received.
The above paragraph we copy from
the Union Wing. of this week and pro-
nounce the statement false, or if such n
| tier was written it has never been re-
ceived. 1t is true that a proposition
was make by Mr.. Lyman to Mr.. Miner
short time after the convention nj
Manchester which was alike "honorable
10 himself, fair towards his adversary,
and competent, if accepted. to heal the
division in the Wing party" The let
ter containing this proposition we have
reason TO believe, was duly received by
Mr. Miner, but up to this moment re.
mains unanswered. This surely looks
ike Mr.. Miners Offering to withdraw.
In this connection we append card
which has been received from Mr.. Ly.
man, fully subs'antiating the statement
male above, and showing the position
in whIcl, he is disposed to hold himself
towards TIE wing party, in this unpleas-
ant controversy.
10 Mc Editor ofMe Rutland Herald:

! day the friends of Mr.. Miner CLAIM,
llm t" be the preferred candidate by
the majority of wings in Bennington
County where we both reside. As
there is ne time to correc. the statements
there made attempting TO favor such
facts. before the election, l will pledge
myself that, il Mr.. Miner leads me
IN Bennington County, Oh the first bal.
lot, J will Withdraw my name and give
him my support. ! shall further con-
slider myself in duty bound to withdraw
my name should Mr.. Miners vote
exceed mine in the District. | have
cnd"avorrd 10 secure this arrangement
with the friends Of Mr. Miner, in order
t" make the controversy as brief and as
little detrimental to the wing cause a,
possible - but failing so to do, do not
feel my duty 10 he performed to the
party without binding myself to the
proposition. a, P. LYMAN.
