The Vermont transcript. [volume] (St. Albans, Vt.) 1864-1870, 1864-10-07
The State Convention.

On Tuesday next, Oct 18th, the
frecmen of the State OF Vermont who
are in favor of the election of Lincoln
and johnson, are warned to meet in
mass convention, at Burlington, for
the purpose of nominating candidates
for Presidential electors. The official
call will be found at the head Of our
editorial columns. 1t does not in
terms indicate whether the Convention
is to nominate all of the FIVE electors,
the two at large and the three district
electors but we presume as tho pres
idential election-day is very nigh at
hand that it will be found advisable
to nominate the entire ticket, Dis
tricts have heretofore, we believe, been
permitted to nominate their own cleo
tors, and that course, sanctioned by
usage, seems to be obviously more ju-
dicious and satisfactory; but this year,
for some inexplicable cause, the mat
ter seems to have been entirely ig-
nored by those committees who have
the matter in especial charge.
We have taken pains to prepare and
herewith present the names Of every
Presidential olector from Vermont who
has been chosen since the admission
of Vermont into the Union. In the
first presidential election, Vermont, Of
course, took no share i'll the following
two first named, and the rest are dis
trict electors;
