The Vermont state Republican Nomination

OPINIONS OF TIE PRESS.
From the Boston Journal
As at Cincinnati. so ut Montpelier, the
final result was reached amid general hsr-
mOny. A man was brought forward upon
whom all could unite without the surrender
of any principle on the part of any one truly
devoted to the Republican cause. That man
is Horace Fairbanks, whose name has long
been known to be hOnOred throughout the
business world, and who has every quality
TO make an Efficient and noble Chief Macis-
trate of Vermont. lie will command the
united and enthusiastic support of his
party; and If the wisdom and good sense
eyinced in yesterdays convention are to
characterize the campaign, as we have no
doubt they will, the majority of Mr.. Fair
banks and of the rest of the State ticket in
September will he such As 10 give power
ful impetus to the general Republican cause
throughout the Union.
From the Boston Traveller.
The Vermont Republicans have made n
nomination iOr Governor that viii satisfy
the people OF the State. and be voted at the
polls by an Old fashioned Republican ma
iOrity. Horace Fairbanks is worthy to sue
eeed his father. Erastps Fairbanks. ia the
gubernat0rial chair OF Vermont, a he has
IN the management OK the extensive busi-
ness that has given prosperity 10 St. Johns
bury. and made their family name a i4mil-
lar word IN every quarter Of the globe.
Like his father, he has beer liberal IN his
gifts to worthy objects, consistent pro-
iessOr of religion, an enterprisins citizen.
and he has been 30 steadily growing in the
esteem OF the citizens Of Vermont that his
nomination Is the most popular one that
could De made by his party.
From the Montpelier Waterman.
The result is akin TO that at Cincinnati,
also, in the more important fact that the
nomination is not only one eminentiy fit to
be made. but Is generally satisfactory TO the
friends Cl the unsuccessful candidates. and
Will heal all divisions and paciiy all factions.
The honored name OF Horace Fairbanks
has long been prominently in the minds and
hearts oil our people. and twas only ques-
ton oi time when that appreciation should
take form and expression. And 1t adds i'm
measurablY both 10 the value of the noinina-
ton and the worth Of the recipient, that the
t.ttering testimonial was entirely uns0uEht
no one present being able To say even that
the nomination would be accepted. Herein
is q hint which Is q hopeful out growth Of
the times. and which iuture aspHants for
positions Of honor and trust. At the hands ot
the people, would 90 well make a note of
F.cm tho freeman.
