Mr.. DUNToN's REMARKS.
In presenting the name of Col. Allen,
Mr. Dunton spoke substantially as fol-
lows
Mr.. President and gentlemen Of the con-
ventiOn:
In accordance with the unanim GUS
voice of Rutland county l take great
pleasure in presenting to you the name
of Hon. Alonson Allen of Fairhaven, as
candidate for District Elector. Mr..
Allen is a christian gentleman of the old
school of unquestiOnable integrity, and
is man of ability whom the town of
Fairhaven have hOnored with the office
of town representative and the County
of Rutland with the offices of
Senator and assistant Judge of the
County Court. Mr.. Allen has also been
the pioneer, and is the father of an en-
terprise which has largely contributed to
the wealth and prosperity of the county.
| refer to the quarrying and manufac-
turing Of slate which is second only to
the marble business of this portion of
the State Mr.. Allen is therefore fit
representative Of the manufacturing and
industrial interests of the district He
too has always been a staunch and firm
Republican, He wrote and signed the
cali for the first meeting held in the
State to protest against the abrOgatiOn Of
the Missouri compromise before that i'm
famous measure the Kansas and Nebras-
ka bill had passed. No man in this
part of the State has done more to pro-
mote the interest and secure the success
Of the Republican party than Col. Allen.
Although an old friend, personal ac-
uuaintancc and an ardent admirer of
Horace Greeley, when the latter joined
his fortunes with the Democracy and
proposed to place the government in
! their hands and in the hands of their
allies, the unrepentant rebels and Ku-
KluXKlaus of the South, Col. Allen said
good Inv Horace, and as soon as the Lib
eral Republican movement was appar-
| emily becoming formidable in some pOr-
| tiOns Of this county he seemed to have
rpgaincd his youthful yig0r, stepped to
| the front. continued in the hottest Of
/ the fight and was prepared to combat
| even the great tidal wave which our
| Liberal Republican friends were so any
! iously and confidently expecting, but
! which, thank God, never came. 1t is
| true that Col Allen is an old mn, but
