flags flying and cannon booming. Such
was Rutlands greeting, and therein she
showed how She appreciated the honor. and
the handsome manner in which it was be-
slowed. Rutland then expressed her
thanks in manner more expressive than
words could make it, We do not forget
those noble men, our fellow citizens of
Bennington and Addison counties who
have stood by lis from the beginning. They
know, felt and appreciated, from the first
the situation OF western Vermont on
the congressional floor, and rec0g-
nized the claims of Rutland as the |
center of the great mineral and |
manufacturing interests of Vermont |
While we never shall forget their services,
while we shall be ready TO stand by them |
when the time comes, while we know that |
we were as nothing without their aid, yet |
the feeling which Rutland county has to-
wards them is too well known and, we |
trust, too highly appreciated to require any |
words to express Rutland and Rutland |
county's obligation and thanks to them for |
their early recognition of the fitness of one |
of the representative men of Rutland and |
trict-for the position. We cannot close |
without expressing the thanks of Rutland |
and extending the right hand of fellowship |
to those noble men of Washington county, |
headed by Paul Dillingham;, Charles
Dewey, Perley p. Pitkn and others, for
the manly, honorable and hearty manner |
in which they came into the support of the
chosen OF the people. Opposition would |
have been useless and they were intelligent
enough to see it, manly enough to ac-
knowledge it. So by their action there !
was perfect unanimity, when, otherwise,
there might have been needless strife. To |
one and all, to the entire district, Rutland |
and Rutland county express that which |
they deeply feel, their most cordial thanks |
for the honor done them in hon0ring their |
fayorte son, He has never disappointed |
MS, he will never disappoint the district,
The state or the nation.
