GRAFTON to notice the
republicans of Grafton accompanied
with quite sprinkling of Greeley mem
assembled at the Town Hall, on Satur-
day evening at o'clock, to elect dele
gates to attend the district convention.
The meeting was called to order by j.
r. Blood town committee. l.. S. Walk
er, was chosen chairman and Sidney
Holmes clerk.
A ballot for delegates was called for
and commenced but was soon interrupt
ted by the question being raised whether
any but republicans had right to vote.
f. Daniels moved that no democrat be
allowed to vote.
The friends of Mr.. Poland favored the
motion, insisting that it was republican
caucus, to elect delegates to put In nom
nation candidates to be supported by the
republican party, that when nominated
Greeley men could support the nominee
or not as they pleased, but for them to
interfere or attempt to dictate to repub-
licans who their candidates should be or
who they should vote for, was an absur-
dity too ridiculous and disgraceful to be-
tolerated. The friends of Mr.. Steele We
hemently and persistently urged liberal
views, contended that it was consistent
with both, the district and town call, for
liberal republicans to vote, denounced
the gag rule, and evinced an earnest de-
sire to "claps hands fraternaly across
the bloody chasm." A proposition to
amend the motion in an unsatisfactory
manner, cau-ed the mover to withdraw
the motion when j. L. Butterfield moved
that all who would in November vote
for the person nominated be allowed to
vote, which motion prevailed. This was
free license to all, and the ballotting
was resumed with the following results:

Notes from the Capital.

TUESDAY, Oct. 15.-The work of tae
session has begun in earnest at last, and
in the introduction of Bills and reports
of committees considerable is promised
for the week. An interesting event oc-
Cured to-day in the
ELECTION OF U. s. SENATOR.
AT q o'clock in the afternoon the
House proceeded to ballot for United
States Senator. The mode of proceed
ing is, for the clerk to call the names of
members same as if calling the yeas and
and nays, and each member, as his name
is called, rises in his seat and announces
the name of the person for whom he
votes. Judge Hebard of Chelsea, very
handsomely presented the name Of Hon.
JUSTIN S. MORRILL, briefly abiding to
the distinguished services he has render
ed our State and the country during his
long period of public service in both the
House and Senate. Waldo f. Brigham
of Hydepark, was also presented for U.
S. Senator by the democrats. The vote
stood 1S5 for Morrill,, 10 for Brigham
and one for Prof. Kitchell of Middle
bury College. 1t is worthy of note per-
haps that Hol is Town, the veteran mem
Der from Somerset, and the only Gree
ley member from Windham county vot-
ed for Senator Morrill,. Mr.. Boyd of
Barnard, who has been claimed as a
Greeley man also voted for Morrill,, and
Mr.. Mitchell of Bridgwater, the other
=" liberal republican from Windsor eoun-
ty was absent. In the Senate the vote
was unanimous for Morrill,.
VERMONT REFORM SCHOOL.
On Friday of this week the legisla
ture will visit the Reform School at Wa
terbury, to inspect that State institution.
VERMONT MEDICAL SOCIETY.
The other day dropped 10 for an
hour to the annual meeting of the Yer
mont Medical Society. As represented
on this occasion the Vermont physicians
are fine and intellectual body of men,
of whom the State may feel just pride.
Their discussions and essays showed
thorough research and scientific investi-
cation. Among those present was the
venerable DR.. Chandler of St. Adams,
fine specimen Of preserved vigor and
manhood and over eighty years of age.
Among the things on exhibition were two
snakes recently vomited from mans
stomach in Waitsfeld. Speaking thus
of the doctors reminds me that several
of them are valuable members of the
Legislature, of whom are. DIR. Scott of
Plymouth, Senator from Windsor county,
DR.. Webster of Putney, DR.. Edmunds
of Weston, DIR. Boynton of Woodstock,
DIR. Potter of Bennington, Dr. Caverly
of Pittsford and others. DIR. Caverly
was member of the New Hampshire |
legislature some ten years ago from the
town of Troy.
