Tng LEGISLATURE next session Of our
Legislature commences on the second Thursday
OF October. Hon. a. B. Gardner Of Bennington,
will OF course be reelected speaker Of the
House. Henry Clark, Esq, Of Poultney will
probably meet no opposition whatever for the
Secrearyship Of the Senate. The election Of
Clerk Of the House is he only one in the organ
izitiIn OF the Legislature, over which there
seems prospect Tor a lively contest. Ihe Clerk
and Assistant Clerk OF the last session are both
candidates for the clerkshp, and the last name
we have seen mentioned ln connection with u,
is that OF L. G lllnckley E'q, OF Chelsea. Mr.
HInckicy has served as Asslstan! Clerk Ol the
House, and later as member Of that body
from the town Of Chelsea
Without doubt he would make an excellent
and popular Clerk,-Rutiand Herald.
