Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1874-06-24


loctor to come to them they came to him
A few years since he had paralytic shock
md sevcreillness, from which neither body
IL mind fully rallied. Now he has passed
% the other shore, and many there are
whom he has brought up to health almost
from deaths door, who will drop tears of
love and gratitude above his newly-made
grave. To his old friends and patients his
death comes no less keenly and bitterly
from the fact that for years his service and
advice have been practically lost to them
by reason of his age and infrmities.
WASHINGTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN Con-
hear it stated incidentally
that the Republican County Committee will
call the Conventian to nominate Comfy
so that it may be held just after
haying-probably the last week in July OF
the first week in August. 1t is to be
mass convention, and everybody is expect
ed to be present, who votes the Republican
ticket. Candidates for the several offices
are as plentiful rs black-berries, and it is
safe to say that all of them cannot be NOM
mated this year.
THE FOURTH OF July Picnic on Owls
Head or Bald Mountain near the Summit
on the Montpelier and Wells River Rail
road is, Providence permitting, an assured
fact \ competent committee recon-
noirtered and planned the grounds on Mon
day last, and found everything favorable
for the success of the celebration. With 4
little work an easy and comfortable path
way to the top of the mountain can be Sc
cured and some of the finest scenery in the
state will thus be available to the entire
party. An energetic committee of AZ
r,nLements have matters in charge, and
everything possible will be done to make
the dly we celebrate " one of the most
thoroughly enjoyable ones in the whole
calen lar. Further particulars will be
given by circulars and the papers of next
week
meets in this village tomorrow. There
are promises that the meeting will be n
spirited one. Judge J. j. Dewitt of St
Adams is prominently named as the can
didate for Governor. Brother Bingham
we suppose, is too good man to receive
a Democratic nomination, and besides he
has lost caste by voting with the Republi
cans for men and money, to put down the
Southern rebellion. This will probably be
the unpardonable sin with the old banker
| element who run the democratic machine
II. b. Smith of Milton. Henry Gllett o
| Richmond. Jasper Rand of st. Adams, ant
d. c. Lindsey. Morillo Noyes, B. b. Small
ley and F. j. Phelps of Burlington, ar
also named As probable candidates.
If the list is not already full, we woulC
suggest that Bro. Atkins of the Ar
gus has points about him that ough
to win in a democractic caucus. He can
drink quite as much whiskey as the aver
age old-liner, but he can defend its drink
ING with much more ability and zeal.
he cannot be nominated for governor w
heartily second the nomination made b
the Bennington Bd'ncr of Mr.. Atkins fo
Congressman this too without an
nudging" from Cain Mr.. Atkins is
representative democrat. He has NOR
ability than the most of them-full a
much honesty-and is imbued with man
progressive ideas, that are held in con
mon by men of the present generation.
