Tie Woodstock Age says it was "a pru-
dent foresight on TIE part Of the Democrat
ie State Committee to take care that the
State be represented at the Philadelphia
Convention on tie part Of Democrats by
Democrats, as they cid by making the nom
nations Of delegates before the Windsor
Convention. I be committee were unneces-
sarily alarmed. There has not been the
slightest danger that any but democrats, OF
men who are all the same az democrats would
undertake to represent Vermont at PhNadel-
phia. The two or three fshy republicans
whose names appear in the list are doubtless
well aware that they Ienounce their party by
such completely with the Philadelphia Con-
spiracy.
50 Index" the Vt. correspondent OF the
Boston Post, does not seem to agree with the
Age, He says;
Do away With the slate-break it in pieces,
and tell the holders thereof, that the Democrats
Of Vermont can have no hopes Of success
until this il done. But for this hste ful
and damaging State performance, that controls
every Convention IN the Stste, and in many in
stances brings forward the nsmes Of men Whc
would make good followers but poor leaders,
Vermont Democracy would to-day have double
the force it now has.
