COL. vEAzEY's WELCOME.
Col. w. G. Veazey, the president of
the Rutland Grant and Wilson club, in
behalf of the club, extended Rutland's
most cordial welcome to the visiting
crowds, on this patriotic occasion. As
Rutland gains in material prosperity
from the industry, etc, of the surround
ing country, so, on this occasion, she2re-
news her patriotism and gathers new in
spiratiOn from her republican visitors.
In the great war for the integrity of the
republic, but which, in the hands of AL
mighty God, made her free in fact, as
well as in name, Rutland furnished her
full quota of one thousand men, so now
in this political warfare, waged so insid-
iously, by her enemies, to regain what
was lost in the wager of battle, Rutland
will furnish her full qouta of one M0us-
and Republican votes. From our quar-
ries, our workshops, our stores, our of
fees, and other places of business, we
bid you welcome, thrice welcome, to
Rutland, and in her name to greet you.
May you bear with you to your homes
abundant fruit of this days scenes and
words of encouragement and instruction,
and, on the Sd day of September, roll up
such a majority as will not only inspire
the national heart, but, will, at the same
time, rebuke political ambition and
treachery.
