Politics in Vermont.

The action Of the Republican State Conven-
ton IN Vermont in not recognizing the loyal
Democrats On ticket which it put forth as
the representative Of patriotic "no party"
movement, has kindled up breeze among
the Green Mountains that promises to result
IN the rare spectacle flor Yermont Of sharp
If contested election. The Democrats will
not vote the ticket, and they are said to find
sympathizers enough among the dominant
party to make up very respectable opposl~
ton movement The causes that will have
produced this etate Of things ore pnrely local
and personal, and perhaps not least among
them is the desire, felt by considerable wing
Of the Republicans, to take advantage Of this
gear Of excitement tor breaking the monotony
Of late elections. Another Convention Of the
people is therefore proposed, ona basis OF un-
qualified endorsement Of the national waE
policy, and so, starting eren in that respect, to
join issue for a free fight for the spoils. The
Convention will assemble early next mouth,
and unless the signs fail, it will nominate q
ticket intended to press hard upon the heels
ofthe other. Both being equally loyal, we can
see no reason why the Vermont boys should
not have side ecrimmage on their own &C.
count.
