Notes OF the National Convention.

Hayes had one vote from Vermont, cast
by delegate French, on each Of the first
three ballots, two on the next three, MI
Woodbridge changing from Blaine to Hayes,
and on the seventh, and last. he received
the ten votes of the State.
The vote for Gov. Hayes grew steadily
from the first He began with 81, on the
second ballot he had ca, then e., then os,
then l04, then ll3, and lastly 3S4.
The Convention showed great sagacity IN
considering the question of locality The
nomination of Gov. Hayes secures the largest
of the October States, whose vote must infiu-
ence all the rest in November, and the selec-
ton Of Mr.. Wheeler does all that is possible
to secure the vote of New York.
The Convention refused to admit Boss
Shepherd. even when he came in the com
pany Of Frederick Douglass. Ii refused to
admit Spencer, the ''sutler Senator" Il
snubbed "Poker Jack" Mcclure. 1t treated
George William Curtis with marked cor
diality 1t kept in the background th'
Packards, and other persons Of that elias
who have sometimes done so much discredl
to Republican Conventions. In these res
poets the National Convention set an ex
ample which the State Conventions will d.

The ST. Adams Messenger would be glad
to see Gov. Peck reelected, because there
is " nobody more worthy" and because
she has made one OF the best Governors
Vermont ever had"
Personally, the Messenger considers Mr..
Walton the best qualified candidate named,
except Mr. Willard and Gov. Peck "but
he is located where other Offices of more
consequence will tend to keep this away" /;
and then he does not hate "the Smiths" suf-
iciently. As between Mead and Estey, the
Messenger prefers Estey, evidently because
he is on the anti-Smith side of the rail-
road controversy. The Messenger has moth

A Montpelier despatch to the Boston
Globe says:
Late developments indicate pretty clearly
that Governor Peck will be renominated.
The devotion of the Hon. Charles n.
Davenport, Democrat, to the interests of
Jacob Estey calls out many and various
remarks. The railroad candidate will be
George Nichols, of Mortified. if they think
they can take issue with Davenport and
win. If they see nothing but defeat with
Nichols, they will then favor the nomina-
ton OF Judge Peck who is no mans man.
And Davenport himself favored Peck s
nomination and election two years ago. If
Nichols or any one identified in the inter-
est of the Central Railroad management is
nominated at the Convention, Estev, it is
said, will still go before the people as an
opposition candidate.
This, We suspect, is largely romance. y
Mr.. Estey, We take it, will not 20 into
the Convention as a candidate, unless ht
intends to abide by the decision of the
Convention, as he expects his opponents t.
abide by the decision Of the Convention, i

The stories which may be invented against
him will be considered as campaign lies and
in this respect he will have the advantage of
Blaine or Bristow. All the scandal and
personal abuse has got to be manufactured
or raked up from the cutters in the future.
This will be pretty hard work. Gov. Hayes

WORTHY MAN woRTHILY PLACED
Congressman William A. Wheeler, who
has been nominated for the Office OF Vice
President, was born in Malone. Frank
lin county, New York, June 80, 1919, and
is consequently in his fifty-seventh year. lie
received a common school and academic edu-
cation in his native town, and subsequently
entered the University of Vermont, which he
left in the year 1S42 without completing the
course. lie next studied law, and COM
menced the practice of his profession In his
native county with considerable success. lie
showed marked ability in his profession, was
elected District Attorney of Franklin county,
and was also sent to the Assembly. lie only
served one term, however, and at its close
gave up Tor a time public life to business
pursuits. He became cashier OF the Malone
bank. and for fourteen years remained con-
nected with it. displaying judicious Judg-
ment in all his transactions, and winning
the esteem and confidence Of all who had
business relations with him. He was next
| elected President of the Northern New York
Railroad. which position he held for eleven
wears. At the death of the old Wing party
Mr.. Wheeler became Republican, and IN
the year 1858 he was elected to the State
Senate, OF which he was made temporary
| President. Mr.. Wheeler was an active mem
Der of the Senate during his term OF ofice,
and his ability and integrity were so well
recognized that his party removed HIM to a
higher sphere OF political duty by electing
him as their representative to the 1hirty-
seventh Congress, from the then Sixteenth
| District, comprising the counties OF Clinton,
Essex and Franklin. After this term in
Congress had expired, Mr.. Wheeler retired
INTO private life for four or five years, but
in the Spring of 1867 he was again called
to take an active part in politics. He was
elected in April, 1867, a member of the
State Constitutional Convention, and at its
organization the following June he again
received distinguished mark of public
favor by being elected to the position OF
| Chairman of the Convention, a position
which he filed with great ability. In the
Fall Of 1867 Mr.. Wheeler was nominated
and elected to the Forty-frst Congress from
the Seventeenth District, comprising Frank
lin and St. Lawrence counties, and since
that date he has sat continuously In Con-
gress up to the present time. In the Forty
first Congress Mr.. Wheeler was Chairman OF
the Committee on the Pacific Railroad which
Office he also held in the Forty-second Con
/ gress. and in the last Congress he was
Chairman Of the Committee on Approprla-
! tions During the torty-third Congress, IN
the Winter of 1874, he was appointed

THE President sent to Congress, on Satur-
dav. message, calling attention to the TAIL
ure of Congress to make the necessary ap-
propriations to carry on the Government
during the next fiscal year, and to the fact
that no department could expend any sum
in excess Of the appropriation, and that no
contract could be made unless the same Is
authorized by law, or when there Is an ap-
preparation for the purpose. In view OF the
near approach Of the new fiscal year, he sug-
cested ioint resolution extending the pro-
visions Of the Appropriation bills now IN
force to the next fiscal year in cases where
no new appropriation bills shall have been
passed by the first Of July, when the new
fiscal year begins.
