b. one thing, mixed ticket OF scUea to 7.ine
State officers in New York or Ohio, made in

As all our Vermont elections are ended for

few dozens, perhaps, excepted t. nominats
State officers.
That proceeding, Il quietly acquiesced il,
could no. fail to break mp she organization
entirely, "a result ahiea some sought TO
eGsot,) and compel its monbars 20 abandon
it or to Ie0rsaniza it anew frou primary

appointed its own Republican State Commit

s5lutely blind, shows an inability to distin-

political engineer. Prudent people vii do
