Windsor County.

The Wings OF Windsor County held their
nominating convention at Woodstock, on
the 81 inst. 1t was a large and harmonious
convention, and its nominations, which we
give below, will be ratified by the people by
a handsome majority
For Senator's,

For Judg.s of Probate,

The resolutions adopted by the convcn-
ton simply re-affirm the principles laid down
in the platform Of the State Convention, and
endorse the doings Of that body. The tick
ct nominated is, throughout, one With which
the Wings Of Windsor County have good
reason to be satisfied, and in behalf Of which
they can very confidently appeal to The free.
men for whose sufirages they are presented.
Messrs. CURRILR and LYMAN were able
and useful members of the Senate last year.
Mr.. FOSTER was member of The House,
and is well known in the South part of the
County as an active man of business, and an
influential Wing. Mr.. MILLER represents,
we believe, the agricultural profession, and
judging from the remarks of his friends and
slight personal acquaintance, we are con.
fdent he will be found valuable Senator.

from Win1s)r for the last three years. were
not candidates for denomination. Judges

<.fsJ We understand that our friend John w.

County Wing Convention, for the office of
States Attorney, says that we were wrongly
informed about his voting for John Pierpont for
States Attorney, at the last election. Perhaps
ills so hut several individuals incline strongly
to the belief that they have heard him say that
he did vote for Mr.. Pierpoint. Mr. Stewart we
believe does not pretend that he voted for the
regular wing candidate, Mr. Prout We do
not think Mr. Stewart any the worse for hav.

We are authorized BY Mr.. STEWART

without foundation in truth that he did vote
