Wilson meeting was held in the Town
Hall, on Monday evening last. PreVi-
Gus to the meeting a beautiful banner
was thrown to the breeze. Upon one
side of the banner Gen. Grant is repre-
sented; upon the other, a splendid
American eagle, with appropriate fes-
toons of star spangled banners, etc.
After raising the banner, the crowd,
headed by the Cambrian Cornet Band,
marched TO the hail, where the organiza-
ton of the club was completed and the
officers and committees announced.
The Grant and Wilson glee club then
sung an original song, prepared on short
notice, which was received with great
applause.
The president then introduced Col.
Chas. FL. Joyce, who spoke for about
two hours on the topics of the day,
treating his subject in mastery and
pleasing manner. He was frequently

Der were speaking, thirty-seyen men and

The memory of Capt. John Q. Dick

town, to support man for President,
who is supported by his murderers, and
who, only one year ago, was denounced
by his now Southern supporters, more
than any other Northern man. Why
this change? Who has changed?
An old soldier, who had served with
credit during the entire war, came up
during the speaking and halted when
within ten rods of the flag and said e:
''Stripes the wrong way for those names,
Stars and bars are the thing for Greeley

industry before the war and succeeded
no better than some other men, does
that era of his civil life indicate dis
qualification, as Mr. Balch would have
us believe, to serve his country as its
chief magistrate? What logic is this?
Are we to conclude that because a cler-
gyman does not succeed in building up
strong religious society in one place he
cannot in another? That because pro-
fessional and business men cannot sue
coed in one branch of industry, there
fore they have no capacity for another +?
This certainly is not the logic of events
in our country. Now supposing Gen.
Grant did not prosper as business man
like some men, as the speaker affirmed,
what has that to do with his great abil-
tiles to serve his country as a warrior
and President? Such an objection
would have been of some weight, per-
haps, previous to the rebellion, but the
war and it's results have furnished an
occasion for the man to develop his lat
ent powers and for the nation to secure
the fright man in the right place. Mil
itary despOtism, nepOtism, etc, received
due share of attention by the speaker
as elements of national ruin, and yet we
Opine that the wheels of government
move on without serious interruption
and law-abiding citizens live in the en-
iOyment of civil and religious freedom
as their reward of well-dOing Col.
Joyce was not passed by unnoticed, yet
he ignored the leading statements of the
Colonels lecture relating to the national
achievements of the present administra-
ton which the Democratic party has
continually arrayed itself against. Mr..
Balch's lecture may be regarded as
superficial, illogical and inconsistent.
Judge Steele, of Hartland, was in
town a few days ago on a short visit to
his friends, and we had the pleasure of
an introduction. We received favor
able opinion of him as a gentleman of
social and intellectual worth, and withal,
as a Republican. Being a young man,
of an active temperament, of temperate
habits, of mental culture, and of sound
political faith and views, it might not
be regarded as a public calamity if the
people of Vermont should send him to
represent the State in the national Con-
gress. Ludlow may anticipate hearing
him soon.
DR.. Palmer died recently. He had
been very sick for week and the event
was looked for by his physicians.

CHESTER.

CHESTER.
The first Grant flag displayed in
town was flung to the breeze on Monday
evening, by the members of the Grant
and Wilson club. We noticed quite a
number of Greeley men present, assist
ing i'll raising the glorious ensign of our
country. One or two of these individu-
ais were soldiers, and we are glad to
know that they have not lost all. their
love for the old flag and we have no
doubt that by November, they will have
become convinced of the error of their
ways, and that they will vote as they
fought.
In passing by Coles Central House,
one would suppose that the people Of
Chester had reached tie goal of their
ambition-viz: The division of Windsor
county; that is, a person would have
reason to think so, judging from the
large numbers of the legal fraternity in
town from abroad, and that the fame of
the old Ingraham House had departed,
and that hOsletrie had been converted in
to a county court house.
In connection with the above para
graph, we are pleased to inform the
readers of THE HERALD that the Cele-
brated case of Watkins as. Cook & Wat
kins is now on trial, and besides all the
resident lawyers in town, employed in
the case, we notice assisting in the trial
of said cause, Hon. Julius Converse,

form his hearers that he was no partisan,
and if he had then taken his seat, he
would have superseded the necessity of
repeating this announcement that he was
no party man, and his audience could
have received his statement with better
grace, but he not only lectured under
the auspices of the Greeley and Brown
club and emphatically against Grant, but
declared that he should cast his vote
against Grant, and gave us very clearly
to understand it would be in favor of
Mr.. Greeley. Consistency is jewel.
He brought to our notice few insig-
nifcant things in the personal history of
Gen. Grant, and assayed to give them
