congress without any visible means of sup
port. | care not for the personalities to
myself for have been known to the peo-
| pie of this district from my loyhood, and
they do not affect me; hut the cowardly
attack upon my pecuniary responsibility
was an assassins stab. | do not hold Mr..
Willard personally responsible, but as the
emanation of his supporters it was
villanous weapon. | had quietly sought
my home for rest, and had not participated
in political affairs, but when this attack
appeared in one of the leading newspapers
of the country was compelled to enter it
to vindicate my honor While | second
the nomination of Col. Joyce, have no
disparagement to make of Mr. Willard. |
believe him TO be man, as ] have said,
who has faithfully served his constituents
with great fidelity. Col. Joyce on the field
bore himself as CALAMITY as any man who
ever graced the uniform. lie is able, hon
est and faithful.
REMARKS OF EX-GoV. PAUL DILLfNGHAM
Hon. Paul Dillingham; of Waterbury, in
rising to speak, was greeted with earty
applause and compelled,by the earnest calls
of the convention, to come forward to the
platform.
lie said have come tobc a convention
man. Six years ago.I was among the dele
gates from Washington county and pre-
scented the name of C. w. Willard. |
spoke as his friend spoke of him as a
man of ability, honesty, integrity and in
dustry, who could not be swerved from
the right. Knowing him as | had, telt
and acts have endorsed the facts ! then
stated. | am proud of Mr.. Wizards
record. Washington county is proud of it,
and are just as DESTROYS as ever that he
should represent them. We stand here,
iifty-four delegates, prepared to support
and stand by him. We know that Wash
ington county has had a representative for
sixteen years. There is reputable and
not dishonorablc desire that it should 90 to
n man in some other part of the district.
We make no complaint. Mr.. Willard has
been treated fairly and it will be no MUS
tice to us or him if the selection, is made
elsewhere, and as a friend OF his | take the
liberty to second the nomination of Col.
Charles II. Joyce.
REMARKS OF HON. A. L MINER.
Hon. A. L. Miner of Manchester.
Vermont, said Vermont had presented
an honorable list of names in the coun-
ellis OF the nation. No state has had
a brighter galaxy of men or who have
been truer than Chapman, Dudley G.
| Chase, Horatlo Seymour, Stephen X.
Bradley Rollin c. NIalary II. Everett,
William Slade, Jacob Collamcr, Paul Dill
bingham and others. Our record has
been honorable in all respects-those
who shall follow them will tread in an
equally honorable path to honor, distinc-
ton and fame, and | therefore most
heartily second the nomination of Colonel
Charles II. Joyce.
REMARKS OF HON. JAMES VI. sLADE.
Hon. James NJ Slade then in an earnest
and telling speech which we regret we can
give only an imperfect abstract seconded
the nomination of Col. Joyce = He refer
ed TO seeing him when he (Slade) was first
in the legislature as a bright messenger
boy, bright, apt and ready. lie told his
friends he would make his mark on the
history Of the state and nation and he has
done it. He then removed to Rutland,
was elected to the Legislature, then made
speaker, and never made but one mistake
in bis rulings and then had the honor,
courage and manliness to correct it and lie
stands to-day the peer of any speaker the
House of Representatives had. | trust ht
will he elected to Congress by 5000 ma
jority.
