I. We urge again d FIJI representation

ton. That the reign=of venality and
corruption must cease in this District,
and that aoao is the timetor the Party to
put its foot on the corrupt ring which has
for several years had full swing in the
District, BY cpnsigning TO private life the
present Congressman, is Enthusiastically
the prevailing conviction of the honest
Union men Of the District, The accounts
VIC receive from all parts Of the District
satisfy US that there is no lack of feeling
or determination on the subject. The
great majority of the party are Of one
mind onthe matter, aid all that is need
ed is artion. The people must, for once,
show their strength in the nominating
conventions. .rui le5'."' 1 9@'
That with anything like fair and full
representation of the masses of the party
at the Convention, Mr.. Baxter cannot
again be the nominee is plain" '' . w..
AT present, from all the indications,
public sentiment appears to be mainly
concentrating on JUDaE R. H. HoYT, Of
ST.. Albans, as on the whole the most
available man. He is a sterling and
working republican a lawyer by profess
sion; "a gentleman of liberal education
and abundant means Of the highest
standing as man of incorruptible integ-
rity and personal worth; who has served
his County in our State Senate with high
credit as a sound and able legislator, and
has been Lonorcd with other County Off
ces of honor and trust; man who can
be relied on, and who will represent US
faithfully and creditably in the National
Legislature, If the People see fit to choose
him. "sH-,i alii. .....

be the nominee Of the Convention, is Of
course not for us to say. We are only
clear that some such sound and honest
man, untainted by connection with COR
rupt cliques or interruptions monopolicS,
should be our man, and that Chittenden
County should 90 to the Convention,
ready to support him heartily, unless
some better name, combining with equal
trustworthiness, greater clements of popu-
larity and strength, shall be presented,
Let the people, 70, once, and not the
wirc.pullers, settle the question. Let
every honest Union man, who desires that
Vermont shall be represented at Washing
