Vermont Democratic State Convention.
Iron the Vermont Patriot. June al


Finding it impossible to give the proceedings Of
the convention at length this week, we place the
ticket at the head Of our columns, and publish the
resolutions The resolutions are straight, square,
honest, and mean just what they say. They are
perfectly explicit, perfectly plain, and need no COM
ment. The ticket will strike every man at glance,
as being most powerful combination of intellect,
private worth, and personal popularity. No cleaner
ticket has ever been presented to the people of the
State.
Mr.. Clark is of the purest democratic blood,
and as democrat. man OF business,
and courteous asn citizen, every way quail.
State-has no superior The name, even, of Mr..
Mattocks will rouse the old Vermont blood. A
branch Of most eminent family, the son Of one
of Vermonts most noted men, and himself young
man Of the highest natural and acquired endow-
ments, perfectly acquainted with legislative bust
ness he isjust the man to preside over the Senate
Of the State The candidate for Treasurer, Mr..
Page, was on the ticket last year. and as everybody
knows, sis up to- his business. The Governor and
Lieutenant Governor both, in accordance with their
determination expressed last fall, declined being
again run. "Upon the hull, as an unfortunate in
dividual would say, the democratic ticket is one
that will combine vast strength. It Is clean. 1t
