Chief" and aprocession was formed which
marched TO the town hall, where an elo-
quent and stirring speech was made by X.
Haskins, Esq, of this place. The meeting
was enthusiastic, and the good points made
by the speaker were well applauded. Com
mittees were appointed to report at a future
meeting for the formation of a Grant and
Wilson club. Some three or four hundred
persons joined in the demonstration, which,
considering its impromptu character, ra-
ther indicates that the supporters of Grant
in Vermont are not all dead yet.
