, BRIsToW.
The next nomination was Benz. III,
Bristow Of Kentucky, by Gen. Harlan
of that state. His name was received
with great applause His nomination
was seconded by Judge Poland of Yer.
, mont, who referred to the fact that a
larger proportion of the people of his
state belong to the republican party than
is the case in almost any other state.
Vermont has no candidate of its own.
but has deep interest in the work of
this Convention. The crisis is an i'm
portant one. The boast of the democrat
cy is that they go into this canvas with
the united South in their favor. This is
probably true, and so it needs only a
comparatively small fragment of the
northern vote to remit the destinies of
the country again to the hands of those
who sought to break up the union. Yer
mont and Kentucky came into the Union
together, and he hoped they would stand
together now for victory with Bristow.
(Applause.)
Gen. w. Curtis of New York adyo-
Gated Bristow. r. FL. Dana of Massa-
chusetts also advocated Bristow. He
