III republican, Is al tne pOllS OH TIC loe
Tuesday of September next.
Gen. Grout was then called upon
for a speech who responded in one of
his happiest efforts, occupying some
twenty minutes in which he urged it
upon the convention to use its best
efforts to bring out the voters, paid
a glowing tribute to Gen. Grant and
to Schuyler Colfax; then passing on
he paid attention to the charges bro't
against a republican administration
by the democrats, instituting coTpar-
isons drawn from actual facts, giving
figures that could not be successfully
disputed, that showed the democratic
party under Buchanan's administra-
ton to time of peace to exceed that
of the present, when gold premium
was taken into account and increased
population considered, winding up his
remarks by excoriating the democrats
for their attempts to repudiate the
obligations of the country to those who
furnished the means to keep our sol
diers in the field, and was vehement
in his objections to taxing the bonds
but stood up for keeping faith with
the bond-holders and paying accord
ing to the contract. The generals
speech was very warmly applauded
and we think all felt, as we did, thai
his remarks reflected much credit upOr
himself, and that he should transfer
his talents during the campaign t.
states where he could do the caus,
more good than in Vermont wher,
we can carry all before us.
At the conclusion of his speech th
convention resolved itself into
Grant and Colfax club. On motto
of Amory Dawson that the chair az
point a committee of three to nam
officers Of the club, he appointed An
DRY Dawson, Luther Baker and Hol
ace Pierce. Excellent remarks wer
made by DR., j. F. Skinner and ais
by Hon. Geo. n. Dale of Essex Coul
ty but we have neither time nc
room to give an abstract of either o
their speeches, suffice it to say thu
the latter was somewhat enthusiast
in his advocacy of the cause and tn
ticket, and his remarks elected niue
applause. The committee appointe
by the chair to name officers for til
club reported as follows: Presiden
John P. Sartle; vice president-B. /
