THE NOMINATIONS.

The result of the republican state con-
vention will prove eminently satisfactory

who were determined to place seal of
condemnation on the course pursued, The
verdict will be hailed with qualification
The name of Horace Fairbanks will be q
tower of strength TO the republican cause
and will bring out more than the strength
of the party. 1t is a fitting nomination

the interests of those he serves above
any personal considerations Vermont
has few men who have higher purposes, and
none excel him in benevolepce aud care
for the rights and well-beiDg of his fellow

honestly procured in the pursuit of a manu-

which is by far superior to any other col
lection in the state; an institution which
will stand as a monument of his llberality
and his interest in the public welfare more
eaduring than tablets of marble or granite.
From the inception of that great enter
prise, the construction of the Portland and
Osdensburgh railroad, it has received his
earnest and hearty support. To it he has

called upon to support tor the governor
