nominated county officers; but us the
proceedings We're strictly informal, it is
not necessary to report the nominations.
After picking from two to three pecks
of berries each, the company travelled
about two hours through AN hitherto
nncNplored region. striking the travelled
road about one mile from their teams,
all happy and highly pleased with their
days work, though Sanbnrn said he
wouldn't go through that swamp again
for five dollars"

Vermont Republican State Convention.

MONTPELIER, VT, June 27.-The Republi-
can State Convention was called TO order at
10. so this morning by Hon. Geo. W. Grandy,
chairman of the State Committee.
The call was read. and then the roll of dele
gates, by Hon. George Nichols, secretary of the
committee, and delegates from every town re-
sponded, $50 in number.
The following permanent organization was
announced:
President, Hon. luke z. Poland, Vice-Presi-
dents, one from each county, and Secretaries,
w. p. Dillingham;, o. E. Butterfield, j. X.
Batchelder, and L. e. Knapp.
On taking the chair Judge Poland returned
thanks for the honor and stated the objects of
the convention. He had little care for nomi-
nations as such. Vermont was always Repub-
lican and would be for years to come. The
next Presidential election he said, would be
serious struggle, and the Vermont vote might
increase the Republican majority 100000 How
much the majority would be increased over last
years was, he said, the question which he cared
for. The Democrats he said, propose to go
into the next election with united South.
Democrats in the north and south understand
each other, and they propose to administer the
government by the same men that severed the
Union.
Judge Poland then reviewed the late Gin
cinnati nominations and said that they would
be accepted heartily. They were the wisest
the Vermont delegation. He spoke of the
strong feeling in the national convention in fa-
vor of Blaine and said that the latter would
have had Vermonts vote nadine been nomip-
ated. He said that the majority of the YER
mont delegation esteemed Bristow the strong
est man, and went for him until the dam
broke on the other side.
He thought Hayes could secure as many
votes as Bristow in the North, and could draw
more at the South, and he referred to Hayes's
record in complimentary terms, saying in ref
erence to the latter's campaign in Ohio against
Allen, that man who has more courage than
his whole party, he thought ought to be called
a brave man.
After the appointment of the various COM
mittees ballot was taken with the following
reSnlt-nn chnica

dence published a despatch from Belgrade
