Delegates TO National Convention.
The canvass for delegates to the Ma
tional Republican Convention at Phila-
delphia, for the nomination of candi-
dates for President and Vice-President,
has commenced. We presume that a
"sate" has been made up. The number
is yet uncertain, on account of the APP
portionment bill. Should ten delegates
be decided upon as the number, each
district as it now stands will have two
delegates as heretofore.
The Burlington Free Press mentions
list Of the following names to select
from; Hon. Geo. F. Edmunds, Hon.
John w. Stewart, Hon. John Gregory
Smith, Hon. Frederick Holbrook, Hon.
Paul Dillingham;, Han. Horace Fair
banks, Hon. Heman Carpenter, Hon.
Julius Converse, Hon. Prosper Merrill,
Col. Albert Clarke, Hon Martin G. Ev-
erts and John II. Flagg This is surely
a good list of names and there can be
no difficulty in getting a true and sub
statial delegation from such an array, if
the Convention is left to its choice, and
the delegates have not been selected by
the political wiseacres of the State.
The names of Col. Albert Clarke and
John II. Flagg will meet, we feel sure,
the cordial appreciation and support of
the young men of the State. They will
be both fitting and eminent representa-
tives Of the young Republicans of Yer
mont.
We have not ventured to suggest any
names heretofore, besides that OF Hon.
0Tartin G. Everts, of Rutland, but it
seems to us one gentleman who deserves
owell of the Republicans of the State,
has been overlooked, one who was large
ly and cordially supported four years
ago, for delegate at large, failing only
by a few votes of being elected over
Con. Stannard. We refer to Hon.
George w. Grandey of Vergennes. The
wide support and the prominent mention
of his name at the last convention,
seems to us to entitle him to recognition
resentatjve of Vermont in the National
Convention, and trust his name Will re-
ceivc that consideration in the approach
ing convention to which he is deserved
lyoentitled.
We give the following list of delegates
that have represented Vermont in for
mer conventions
