If such thing were to happen at all,
nothing could be more gratifying, or in
keeping with Mr.. Fairbanks tastes, than
such spontaneous, unsolicited and unex-
pected nomination. Judge Dana's tele-

ton, tells the story briefly, and was as fol-

The Addison county convention did its
work well, particularly in Its senatorial
preferences. The nomination of Hon. Il.
Seymour as senator was as popular a one
as could have been made. Mr.. Seymour
has had ripe experience as a legislator and
his record is clean. lie was a member
of the house in lS47-45; of the senate in
1850 5l-52, and again was a member of the
house in 1860 81. He combines experience
with clear and positive views OF legislative
duties, making him safe and judicious
member of that body whose action should
combine broad views and legislative wis
dom.
We have no space this week to comment
on the nominations of the republican state
convention. Happily none arc needed
They commend themselves to the people
and are received with very general favor.
They all received the hearty and unani-
nous endorsement of the convention, not
withdrawing the great difference in first
choice that prevailed among the delegates
when they first arrived. Horace Fairbanks
is representative man of the state, both
AZ to its business and industries and his
wide acquaintance with men and things
abroad, and in September the entire ticket

A careful consideration of the whole
matter, both on the ground at Montpelier
and at home, leads lis to the belief that the
general public sentiment will settle down
to the conviction that the republican state
convention, this week, did tho best thing
possible under the circumstances. A more
chaotic mass of delegates or a more mixed
state of things generally than existed in
the convention when it assembled on Tues
day morning, was probably never seen in
this state. But in the midst of all this con.
fusion there was strong under current of
earnest determination to take sucn action
as should be best and most credltable alike
for the state and for the republican party,
aud the result was the nomination of Hon.
Horace Fairbanks. -Brdttle6or0 Pd@cir.
The result is akin to that at Cincinnati,
Also in the more important fact that the
nomination is not only one eminently fit to
be made, but is generally satisfactory tc
the friends of the unsuccessful candidates,
and will heal all divisions and pacify oil
factions. The honored name of Horace
Fairbanks has long been prominently in
the minds aud hearts of our people, and il
was only question of time when that ap
probation should take form and expires
sion. And it adds immeasurably both tc
| the value of the nomination and the worth
of the recipient, that the tlatterng tes,imo-

would be accepted. Herein ia hint which

The people of Vermont honor Governor
Peck for his rare qualities Of honesty ant
and ability which he has shown in dis
charging his duties as governor and as ;
iurist. Nothing but the unwise policy o
rotation in office, which has been long es
tablished by the republican party of th
state, prevented bis denomination as gove
nor at the late state convention ; and il
spite of this rule he had plurality o
votes on every ballot for governor takel
| in the convention until his name WAS with
drawn and Horace Fairbanks nominated b,
reclamation. Prior to the mention of hi
name for denomination as a candidate 70
governor he frequently heard his nam
mentioned in the third district as a proba
BILE candidate for representative to congres
in Mr.. Hendee's district. Whether III
politicians have got the matter harinoni
ously arranged in the third district and tn
candidate agreed upon is not certain, thougl
it has of late looked as though Mr.. Heude
would be renominated but if this rotation
in office rule should be applied to his cas-
then the candidate question would be a
unsettled as ever, and Governor Peel
could be brought forward il he would ALLOW
the use of his name. Several members o
the bar have already suggested that he b
