Voted that the Convention proceed
to the nomination of State officers.
A. N. Merchant moved the nomina-
ton of Hon. w. H. H. Bingham, of
Stowe, for Governor, saying, as re-
ported by the St. Adams advertiser. ::
In behalf of a large number of the d elegates
from Chittenden County, and of the City of
Burlington, which gives larger Democratic
vote than any other place in the Stale, have
the honor to present as candidate for Govern
or, the name of a gentleman who we believe
will be acceptable, not only to this Convention
but to every citizen of Vermont who is tired of
the political acknowledgements Of the past. and
hopeful for better and purer state of affairs
in the future. The gentleman to whom refer
ID doubtless well known to you all. He is not
a fossil-a relic of ages past-but he lives in
the present, and in the strength of vigorous
manhood. He il we'll qualified by education,
by experience and by natural abilities fer the
position In his various business capacities
he has been brought into contact with large
number of the citizens of this State morally
and socially he is all that can be desired, and
we may safely defy the opposition to point out
a single blot upon his fair fame as a represen-
tatve of that noblest work of God-an honest
man. In short. gentlemen. Ibis head is
level, and his heart is right, and his name is
Bingham, of Stowe Applause.
Hiram Atkins took pleasure in sec
ending the nomination of Mr.. Biny-
ham. Mr.. Bingham ecas an honest
man, he was, and always had been an
upright, consistent, faithful Democrat,
all reports to the contrary notwith-
he was the right man for
The place and would receive a hearty
B. B. Smalley also seconded the
nomination in a neat speech, promis-
ne that Burlington should give Mr..
Bingham the largest vote she had
ever given a Democratic candidate for
Governor.
The enthusiasm for the candidate
was great and he was unanimously
nominated.
Hiram Atkins, in stirring speech,
the name Of Henry Chase,
Lyndon, for Lieut.. Governor Mr..
Chase was a farmer, not one of the
fancy kind, but genuine, practical
an educated man who gradu-
ated with high honors alYale College,
studied law, and was pronounced by a
noted Judge, one of the most promis-
ing young men he had ever met,
but who had chosen the quiet, indie
pendent life Of a farmer in preference
to the cares Of the legal profession
Mr.. Atkins spoke well and with feel
ing for Mr.. Chase, and. seconded by
J. M. Weeks, the nomination prevail
ed and Henry Chase was unanimously
chosen.
VIM. D. McMas'er ofthe Age nom.
mated Otis Chamberlain, of Pomfret,
for the office of State Treasurer, and
seconded by Mr.. Atkins, the nomina-
lion was made unanimous. Mr. Cham
berlain is good financier, so much
so, that although living in town hav-
ing a large Republican majority, he is
always called upon when there is any
business to be done. He is practical
farmer and a member of the Patrons
Of Husbandry, being Master of Pom
fret Lodge. The nominations were
made, with the greatest unanimity and
enthusiasm and three good Democratic
cheers and tiger-r-r were given for
the State ticket.
The Committee reported the follow
ing named gentlemen as STATE Com
mittee and they were elected:
II. B. Smith, Milton; Hiram Atkins,
Montpelier; J. M. Weeks, Lyndon
