John B. Beaman, Esq, of Poultney
spoke of the delicate nature of the
business upon which the convention was
| called to act We should know the views
of the candidates whom the party is call
| ed upon to support, upon the political
| issues Of the day, in these times when
/ instances Of secession and apOstacy of
! trusted leaders, WHO had been taken up
| by the new party combination as their
| stock in trade. 1t is not strange in such
times that men should be called upon to
openly and publicly declare their princi-
pies Before the convention proceeded
to the consideration of the letters that
had been presented any Of the candi-
dates who desired to be heard, should
have an opportunity to state their posi-
tion fully before this convention.
Col. Redfield Proctor Of Rutland, said
he was authorized to state by Hon. Martin
G. Everts, who had been a lifelong Re
publicanand still stood by the party, he
didnot desire tobe adisturbing elementin
in the party. and that the utmost har-
mony might prevail, he would withdraw
his name as a candidate for county Sena-
tor This he said was magnanimity on
the part of Mr.. Everts, and he now
withdrew his name positively.
John B. Beaman. ESQ, said that there
was no real question as to Mr.. Everts'
position, he had always adhered to the
party and had fought many Of its politi-
cal battles in this county and State. He
had known Mr.. Everts for years, and be-
lieycd him a Republican, and had shown
himself thus by the magnanimous with
drawal Of his name as 2 candidate for
the harmony of the party.
Geo. A. Tuttle, ESQ, said it was due
10 himself as well as to Mr.. Everts to
make an explanation to the convention
previous to the last county conven-
ton he had a conversation with Mr..
Eyerts and understood that he would act
with the Republican partyin the support
of Grant and Wilson. Col. Joyce un-
derstood the same. 1t was through the
influence of the Rutland delegation at
that convention Mr.. Eyerts was nomina-
ted. He was surprised on reading his
letter to the County Committee at its
nature. He had another conversation
with Mr.. Evcrts to-day, and he believed
him to be a good Republican, and was
pleased that under the circumstances. he
had Withdrawn himself from the canvas
for the promotion Of the harmony of the
party.

reading of the letter of Hon. Pitt w. /
Hyde. which was read by the secretary,
f. H. Griswold of Brandon,
moved that for the purpose of getting
the matter tested, the nomination for
second assistant judge of the county
court. for which Mr.. Hyde was the
nominee, be declared vacant
S. w. Bailey, Esq, of Fairhaven.
said that he was not authorized by Mr..
Hyde to make any statement upon this
subject, but he believed Mr.. Hyde a true
republican and in favor Of republican
principles. He was a gentleman of high
character, nominated for judicial of
fee simply, and he believed he would
cast his vote for Grant and Wilson in
November next, and his acts Were all in
accordance with such a position Had
the time come when a man was to be os-
tracised by the republican party because
he differed as to the policy of the nomiy
nation of some other man by the repub-
ican partys Was no man within the
party ranks to be allowed to have his in
li1idual views of party policy? Mr..
Hyde signifed his intention of support
ng the republican ticket, and he was one
IF the vice presidents Of the Grant and
Wilson club of Castleton, the town in
which he lived and labored for republi-
IAN principles There may be such a
hing as drawing this party line too close
", to our own injury. The only politi-
cal crime that could be charged upon
Mr. Hyde was that he had at one time
