as member ofth Central Committee
for Pultney township. The folio wing
resolutions was offered by Mr.. James +.
Anderson, and after speeches by Messrs.
J. B. Smith, John S. Crafty and others,

ResoLUed, That We, the Republicans
of Pultney township, cordially endorse
and approve the public acts of the Hon.
John A. Bingham, and view with pain
and regret the efforts of individuals to
damage his public character.
The meeting was largely attended,
quite a delegation being in from the
country. There appeared to be an
earnestness in the persons who attended
that augurs we'll for the cause in the fall.
The resolution in relation to Mr.. Bing-
ham was not offered or understood as
giving instructions to our delegates; they
90 untrammeled by any instructions
whatever; and being representative men
and fully advised of the will of the peo-
pie here, instructions would only en-
barrass action. But whether Mr.. Bing-
ham ia nominated or not, his name and
fame belong to us. He is identified with
every measure of the Republican party.
Fearless, talented and unselfish, the
true interests of the country have been
his aim and desire; and we feel too
proud of him to have his name and
fame SO harshly assailed. "Only,this and
nothing more" Altogether, it has been
a long time since we have had SO large
and earnest primary meeting.
The weather has been decidedly op-
pressive the last week, the temperature
reaching $50 several times. The fine
refreshing shower of last evening has
cooled the air somewhat, but it is still
warm enough for comfort.
The river has risen several feet, and
the regular packets are still plying;large

renovated and refurnished in style
that assures the weary traveller of com.
fort and luxury during his sojoarn here.
THE National has always been first-class
Hotel, and from appearances its repu.
ltation will be fully sustained. We have
several excellent hotels besides, with
clever, obliging, landlords. The Bel.
mont House, Corner of third and Water
streets, is made pleasant place by the
lurbane landlord, Mr.. Aswell. The
Globe House looked after, as it is, by
IZeke Morris the genial proprietor, needs
no commendation; those that try it al
ways return, if they pass this way. We
have several hotels of smaller capacity
than those, that are well conducted.
