Tho Convention. and the Republicans OF O
the first Congressional District can Judge
for themselves. Whether the proper re-
gard for the rights Of Republican dele
oates and their manhood as freemen fully
justified them in not abiding, by the I'M
inst and unwarranted decision OF the Con-
yention. - ao
The action of the Congressional Con-
yention unprecedented and unwarranteo
is,
First In the refusal Of the convention
to leave the appointment of the committee
on credentials to the delegates from the
several counties, but putting such ap-
nointment into the powersof chairman
purposely selected or certainly expected
n mack that committee in the interest OF
one of the candidates.
Second. In admitting delegation from
Bennington, which was the controlling
delegation of the convention in point OF
members and vote, who were chosen by a
caucus largely composed OF, or entirely
controlled by democrats, and refusing adj
mission to delegation from Bennington
of well known Republicans chosen by an
unquestionably Republican caucus.
Third. In selecting as candidate Tor
+ the suffrages of the voters OF the flrst
Congressional district gentleman as a
candidate who under the re-distrietlng OF
the State. which must be done by the
t next October session of the Legislature
!, will not live in this district-thus pre-
8 sentins the anomaly of a representative
4 without district and district without
: representative.
n We Law these facts before the Repuol
can party of the district, that they may
Judge impartially of the merits OF the con
. troversy and the action of the convention
u That Mr.. Willard had clear majority
the convention is not well founded III iac'
{ and an actual canvass Of the member
showed such not to be the fact, and memo
= the perpetration of the gross outrage

delegation from the town OF Bennington
q, The delegates who withdrew from ID

III integrity of the Republican party, Whlc
~ thew hold to be of more Importance tina
n the personal motives or ambitions OF an
of partizans, protest against the political III
nd fairness and injustice of the conventio
g in the particulars above stated, as enure'

TX Mr.. Willard had not a clear majority fro

washing" took with her the youngest
child. an infant of year old, leaving her
o+her three at the house. While thus en-
q,aged at her work she heard suppressed
screap,s at the house. Taking her little
q,irl from the soiled clothes upon which 1t
was sitting, she placed 1t IN an empty
wash-tub to keep it from crawling ihto
the creek during her absence, and mas
tened to sthe house, where she met
her eldest child with its head
frightfully disfgured and swollen
She hastily CLEANED from this one tha'
the three children had crawled under the
house in search of eggs; that while unoer
something had hurt them, and that the
two other children were still under th'
house. The mother, upon looking unoe'
the house. found them dead, with seVera
moccasin snakes IA very poisonous an'
deadly species) crawling around thei
bodies. The neighbors were aroused, an,
nv their assistance the snakes were killed
and the unfortunate children taken out
! their bodies presenting frightful an
= siekening appearance. By this time tn
, elder one was corpse. The mother, /
her despair and agony, had forgotten ur
til now her little one at the creek, an
s upon going to the spot, found it also
s corpse in the creek. 1t is supposed II
e little child had climbed up in the tn
: and was holding on the lower edge OF l
when the tub upset, rolling the child In
: the water and drowning it. 1t is said tt
a mothers grief was so great that at last
1t commits she was raving maniac.
