We have no doubt but there will be
an abundance of good names to select
from, and if the convention puts the
test of honesty and ability, the county
cannot fail of being well served. OF
course no body of men will bring for
ward man who holds an eguivocal
position on the temperance question.

The State Nominations.


We gave last week simply the result
of the State Convention held at Bur
lington on Wednesday. Come to the
ballot, neither Mr.. Taft nor Mr.. Sprague
showed the strength which their friends
expected, while Judge Peck received
more votes than the most sanguine pre-
dicted for him. There was strong un
der current in favor of Peck from the
time his name was first mentioned for the
office. To be sure it was not among the
working politicians, but the belief was so
thoroughly incorporated into the minds
of the masses that he was both capable
and honest, that all the arguments
about his age, old fogy ideas, anti-prog
Iess notions. went for naught when the
ballot was thrown.
Nor did that other suggestion, that
he was the candidate of the lawyers,
avail. 1t was pretty freely asserted
that the legal profession had two good
reasons for urging Judge Peck for Gov
ernOr. First, they wanted his place on
the bench and second, they wanted a
more pliable judge to try their cases
before. 1t is true the lawyers were
nearly all earnest advocates of the nom
nation of the Judge, but the large
majority of the convention voted the
above as grounds of opposition to him
as ''too thin" The general belief is
that he will make as good Governor
AS he has made Judge-and that will
be good enough.
For Lieutenant Governor, the con-
vention were quite as unanimous in the
support of Lyman G. Hinckley of Chel-
Judge Peck had not been thought of
for Governor until within few weeks,
and while he would not do any thing
towards securing the nomination, nor
even attend the convention, or adjourn
the Orange county court so that Others
could, Mr.. Hinckley has the name OF
nav iHS lol tnC pi1itC ioi tii' iftS'
two years. 1t was currently reported
and not alone by his opponents-thal
he had worked with this end in view
ever since the last session of the legis-
lature, and that he had fixed" things
beforehand in nearly every county in
the state. 1t WAS very evident that
many delegates We're committed to him
before the gathering at the convention
who would otherwise have voted fol
some other man. On the other hand
every one acquainted with the nominee
says he is well adapted to the position
1t is no secret that Mr.. Hinckley was
was formerly diSsipated. He is said tC
have reformed and while some of hi.
best friends think the position dagger
nus one for him, they mean to rally
round him and help him to stand firm
against temptation.
As long as the nominee for Governor
ia an able lawyer and iurist. it wa.
thought by some eminently fitting t.
select the man for the second place OF
the ticket from some of the other walks
of lite-One from Il calling, profession
or trade as important to the welfare o
the state as the law but the ticket Il.
it stands is purely legal one. and be
tween Judge Peck and Lawyer Hinck
ley the state should be run OH strictly
judicial principles.
There was more or less talk outside
against renominating treasurer Page
but the people believe him honest ant
trustworthy. and all minor objections
were waived. and he was re-nominatet
by reclamation.
