We see it announced up north that
Judge Poland is to be candidate for
re election in this district, and that Col.
John B. Mead of Randolph. and Hon,
ID. c. Denison of Royalton, will be in
the field against him; and that Judge
Prout of Rutland, is to be presented at
the republican State Convention as a
candidate for governor. Judge Prout
was Greeley man in 1872. In regard
TO this district there are at present likely
to be about seven hundred candidates
against Judge Poland, making in all

CHANGE OF NAME.-North Bridge
water, Mass, is hereafter to be known
as Brockton. The matter was decided
by town meeting held last week, at
which 1491 votes we're cast, 1880 for
Brockton, and All for Avon. The con.
test has been very spirited, and the re
suit was receivedbyth Brocktonites with
great enthusiasm. The bells of the
town were rung, one hundred guns wer,
fred, and a large lot of FIRE works wer'
let off. The chief merit of the name ap
pears to be that there is no other IN tn
country. Brockton is a great shoe manu-
featuring town, having fifty firms en-
gagged in the business, and has populs
ton Of 10000.

From the Burlington Free Press,
Republican state Convention.

The Republican State Committee met
at the Pavilion Hotel, Montpelier, at
noon, yesterday. There were present
Gen. George w. Grandey of Vergennes'
Chairman Hon. George Nichols OF
Mortified, Secretary; Hon. Franklin
Fairbanks of st. Johnsbury; General
Stephen Thomas of Montpelier; Gen.
John L. Barstow of Burlington COL
Charles II. Joyce of Rutland; and Car
roll S. Page of Hydepark; Hon. Geo
N. Dale of Island Pond, and Maj. VIM
Rounds OF Chester, being the only mem
bers of the committee absent.
1t was voted to invite the Republicans
of Vermont to assemble by their dele
gates at the City Hall, in Burlington
on Wednesday, June 18th, at ii A. NJ
for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for Governor, Lieutenant Govern
or and Treasurer.
The basis of representation was liked
at one delegate for each town and city,
and one additional delegate for every
one hundred votes cast for the Republic
can candidate for Governor at the Sep
TENDER election of 1872, and one for
every fraction over fifty votes.
The time fixed for the convention is
about fortnight earlier than that of
1872, but it was so ordered from the fact
that many of the counties desired to hold
their conventions before the commence
ment of haying.
The convention will be composed OF
sig hundred and ffy-eigd delegates, ap-
portioned to the several counties as fol-

The Arkansas War.

The Arkansas war is not yet over.
The administration has made PROPOSE
ton that both the governors " disband
their troops, and unite in calling the
legislature together who shall decide who
is elected governor and their decision be
final. Neither Baxter nor Brooks are
exactly satisfied with this proposition,
though Baxter has signified his willing
ness to abide by it mainly. Brooks don't
like it but says he will not fight the U. S
authorities. Meantime there has been
more fighting, one or two killed and 8
larger number wounded. The other day
the friends of both appeared in sufficien
ranks for fight, firing was begun, wher
the u. S. troops marched between then
and the fighting ceased.
1t seems to us that the president ha
submitted fair proposition to both ant
thus far acted his part wisely. The su
preme court Of Arkansas, by the escap
of the two arrested judges, have got to
gether and decided that Brooks is th
legally elected governor, but last fal
this came court, composed of the sam
persons, decided exactly the opposite
Their action, therefore, inconsistent wit
themselves but few months since, an
done inside oe Brooks military line
and in the absence of the other part
by counsel or otherwise, does not see
to give it much force, either legal
moral. Whatever it may be, both 60
ernors appear to have an equal amou
of it.
1t is disgraceful affair, and if n
soon ended by decent and valid action
the state, let the general government ell
it for them, and the sooner the better.
