eipal attention from the fact that the name
OF Hon. 7. W. Park was given the first po-
sutton among the honorable names mention
ed IN connection with the nomination. But
Mr. fark does not desire. nor Will he ae-
cept the proposed honor. He as not a c1rldi-
ddfe for the nomination. and many OF his
friends IN several parts of the State have
been heretofore informed BY him that "he
Is not In the field" We have no doubt Mr..
Park could easily obtain the willing votes
OF a large majority of the 18th of June Con
veniion. and triumphant election IN Sep
tember If ne chose TO ask for them, bat he
does not 50 choose and prefers or finds II
necessary 10 give his time and labor TO the
prosecution of the large and important pub
lie and private interests be has IN hand,
rather than yield TO the pressing Emporium
ties OF MS friends to take the lead IN the
coming campaign Other candidates iron
our county have been named, among which
we have heard those Of Hon. Harmon Can
held. OF Arlington. hon. i. l. Miner, OF
Manchester, and Hon. Il. q. Root of tins
village. Either Of these gentlemen would
ably I'll the ofhee ana as they probably
fully understand that Mr.. Park 5 name II
used without ms desire or authority would
probably accept the nomination if II should
be offered TO bennington county.
But as we nave already said every coun-
" has list OF mentioned candidates. prom
Ineut among which we can name Lent
Governor Taft, OF Burlington Fred. Bill
lIngs, OF " OOdstock Hon Z. p Walton,
Of Montpelier Hon. C. ". Willard, OF
Montpeiler Gen. Grandey, OF Yergennes
Ten teazey. of Rutland and manv others.
30 many. II fact that II Is not only nard 10
choose between the multitude Of names, but
harder TO tell who the state Convention will
decide TO name. During the month inter
TenIng between TINS and the convention. the
matter VIII most likely assume some more
tangible and probable shape. OF which we
Will keep our readers vel advised.
