me KcptlDlIcan Nominees.
Never have the Republicans OF
Vermont had u stronger ticket, or
one more worthy of support by hon
est men of all parties, than that
which appears at the head of this
column. Composed as it is of many
old and tired public servants who
have never been false to their trusts
or betrayed the confidence of the
people, it will receive the entire
strength Of the party, and IA vote
will be cast for it in September
which will surprise and rejoice all
who are in favor of right, justice
and the execution of the laws.
A brief sketch of the lives of the
three leading candidates, which we
copy from the Boston journal, will
doubtless interest our readers.

East Montpelier. and is about
seventy years old. On arriving at
the proper age he read law and was

attention as a sound and able law.

ablest man in it. AS citizen, law

Hon. John A. Page needs no in
PRODUCTION to Vermont public. He
has already had the Office for eight
years and has filled it with remark
able success. Although he has
been in Office so long there was not

ventiOn name mentioned against
him.
The men nominated at Chelsea
for county officers are such as the
party can heartily support, feeling
assured that they will, when elected,
loOk we'll to the interest of the peO-
pie of the State. Being men all
we'll known it is needless to particu-

1t remains now for the honest
men of the Green Mountain State
% labor earnestly till the first Tues
lay in September to secure large
vote for the tickets, both state and
county, and thus show that they do
not think the "Republican party
has completed its work." or should
give place to another.
