the country, and be triumphanty elected
by overwhelming maJorities. Their nomi
, nation had set stint to the
democrats about to meet at St
Louis, which they might labor
and perspire over all summer and
not be able to meet. A republican vic.
tory. this fall would mean that the United
States was q nation, not mere confedera-
ton which could be broken up by the
withdrawal or secession of a single state; il
would mean the honest payment of our
honest debts In honest money 1t would
mean public school system as free as the
air we breathe. A democratic victory
would mean the reverse of all this, or, at
least, "hedging" on all these questions.
He could not believe democratic victory
possible, but he did believe that q tidal
| wave had been started at Cincinnati, which
would sweep over the country in Novem-
Der, and secure republican administration
for four years more.
The chairman then stated that letter
had been received from Mason s. Colburn.
delegate from this district to the Cincinnati
convention, regretting the impossibily of
his being present, On account of caucus
to be held in Manchester for the election of
delegates to the Bennington county repub-
lican convention, and hoping that the re
publicans of Rutland would have a 'rous-
ing time" and perfect success in inaugural

| briefly addressed the meeting. He said
| that too much could not be said for the re-
publican party, when the situation of the
country now and fifteen years ago was con-
trasted. The Cincinnati convention had
given US ticket we could shout over, and,
better than that, that we could be proud
Of, and that we could now go forward and
rejoice as much in the future held out for
the party as we were now proud Of its past
| record. Hayes and Wheeler have both a
complete record, no flaws eau be found in
1t. They were the best ticket that could
have been nominated, being the first choice
of many, the second choice Of every one.
He then related an incident in the history of
the campaign in the Shenandoah valley,
when at Cedar creek and Fishers hill, Gen
eral Hayes came up in the rear and on the
flank of body of rebels, supposed to be
impregnablv posted, commanded by Cen
eral Jacob Early, completely routing them
and turning the fortunes of the day.
Hayes, said he, was the ''great unknown"
to Jacob Early and the rebels, and his de-
feat of them is but type of what he will
prove to the democracy this fall. He was
the 'great unknown" and now, as then,
he will utterly overthrow and defeat the
democracy.
HON. DAVID r. NICHOLSON,
in excusing himself from extended re-
marks, made, in some respects, the hap
piest speech of the evening. He promised,
at some future day, to address his fellow
republicans, but, although he was earnestly
and heartily in support of the nominations
of Hayes and Wheeler, he thought this
was not the time, especially at so late an
hour in the evening and after the eloquent
speeches of Colonies Veazey, Proctor and
Walker. He said he felt good deal as
the old gentleman did, who said he had
noticed one thing-that in making whisky
punch after putting in the lemons, the
sugar and the whisky, anything else added
would spoil it-and he, the speaker, didn't
propose to depart from this rule by adding
his speech to those of the others.
The committee then presented the fol-
lowing list of officers:
