Nr Fairbanks was made by acrlama-
tiun.
The scene between the conclusion
Of the second ballot and the nominal
ton OF Mr.. Fairbanks, was one OF
the widest confusion, and the speak
ers were heartily chccred. The re-
suit was the signal for the hearticst
applause, AMI it was several minutes
before order could be restored.
For Lieutenant-Govcrnor, Colonel
W. G. Veasey OF Rutland, hand
somcly nominated Colonel Redield
Proctor of the same place. The
nomination was warmly seconded by
Hon. A. L. Miner of Manchester,
and was made by acclamation.
For Treasurer, Hon. George W.
Grandey of Vcrgennes, presented the
name Of Hon. John 4. Page of
Montpelier. This nomination was
seconded by +. A. Smith of st. AL
bans, and was made like the others
by acclamation, and with applause.
For Electors-at-large, the names OF
Hon. Jacob Estey of Brattleboro,
and Hon. c. E. HoughtOn of Ben
nington, were presented, and receiv-
ed a similar nomination.
The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the following:
Resolved, That the Republicans Of
Vermont in convention assembled,
/ fully endorse the platform adopted by
the National Convention at Cinein-
natl, and hereby adopt the same as
the platform of the Republican party
of Vermont, upon which to fight tie
first battle Of the great centennial
campaign Of 1876.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the Presidential ticket of the Cincin-
natl Convention, and promise the Re-
publicans Of our sister States to rol
up in September for the ticket this
day nominated, Vermont's old-fash
toned Republican majority, and tC

Wheeler in November against any
ticket that St. Louis can produce.
The resolutions were adopted, anG
the convention adjourned.

Republican State Convention.

The Convention assembled at Mont
pelier on Thursday, the 28th inst. and
was the largest held IN the State for
many years, nearly all the towns in
the State being represented, by rcgu-
lar delegates. The attendance of out.
siders were also large.
1t was called to order by Hon. Geo.
w. Grandy, chairman Of the State
Central Committee, who caused the
roll of delegates, as prepared by the
State Central Committee, to be read
and the same adopted. He then nam
ed Hon. Luke p. Poland ofSt. Johns
dury, for President ofthe Convention,
with q list Of Vicc-P Presidents and
Secretaries.
Judge Poland was received with
hearty cheers as he assembled the plat
form. In response he said that the
greatest Importance Of nominating
good and acceptable candidates at this
time consisted in the influence such a
course would have upon the national
vote. Vermont, THANK God, always
had Republican Governors and good
Governors. Loud applaasc]. A
difference often thousand votes in this
State would influence one hundred
thousand votes on tue national ticket,

WIHTEFIELD, n. H., June Goth, 1876.
M. Editor:-
As our Centennial Fourth is coming
right along, perhaps you would like to
know how we intend to dispose Of it..
Well, it looks now as if we were to have
high old time. The town has appro-
priatcd one hundred dollars to help the
cause along, and individuals are diSpOS-
ed to subscribe literally. At a public
meeting held last Saturday, it was decid-
ed to let the eagle scream at all hazards
The following citizens were chosen to
carry out the wishes of the people and
expend the money appropriated:
1. S. NJ. Cove, Chairman; Spraguc
Carleton, Secretary; John Q. A. Libby,
Treasurer; Ira S. NJ. Cove, Marshal;
Samuel r. Johnson, Henry O. Cram
Luther Dean, Assistant Marshals r. H.
Weston, Orator; l.. d. Whitcher, Prcsi-
dent; John Q. a. Libby, Thomas Jones,
VIM +. Dodge, 0. S. Blood, r. G. Jack
man, c. M. Collins, General Committee.
The programme will be about as follows {:
Horrible procession at daylight. Process
sion of Sunday Schools, Good Tcmplars
and citizens will march to Lougcc Grove
in the carly part Of the forenoon, where
the Grafton will be delivered. Music by
the Whtcfcd Band, refreshments,
)amusemcnts, &C., &c. Then return to
the common for the foot racing, bag rae
ing, tub racing on the pond, three legged
racing Greco--Roman wrestling, climbing
creased pole with the big end Of pole up
ward, cripple race, base ball match, horse
trot, scrub horse race, hopping foot race,
&C, fer all OF which suitable prizes will
be awarded. The sport will conclude
with fireworks in the evening. The OK
CCutivC committee chosen is an excellent
one and if this programme is successful
ly carried out we shall have Il real old
jolly good time, just as we ought to. Last
year they wouldn't let us boys have q
good time at ALL for fear we would set
the town on fire. The police kept his

The work Of the Cincinnati Convention
is done and well done. 4 clean, clear,
strong ticket, and one that will win.
Doubtless many Republicans felt some
what disappointed, expecting to have
the privilege and pleasure of voting for
Mr.. Blaine. But although he has cleared
himself as clear as the sunlight, in
q bold, fearless, honest way, yet the
Democrats would be forever harping
bonds" during the canvass, SO that by
taking clean man, it takes their wind
and they have nothing to blow on. The
candidates are now in the field with
the exception Of the Democratic nom
nce for Viee-President. Governor Til
den without doubt will be the nominee at
St. Louis 1t is much to have good clean
men in the field for standard bearers, but
1t is more to consider the foundation
principles on which they stand and past as
soCiatiOns. The past record of the Dem
ocratic party with the prcCcdents they
have established, has and will condemn
it, no matter how good a man they may
nominate. It's like the stork found in
bad company. The Democratic record OF
the present Congress, shows the old
southern dominccrinS spirit Of the south
crn Democracy as in the old days Of its
glory before the war. The record of the
parties with their professions and plat
forms are before the people and the reo-
pie are better educated in political mt
ters than ever before and are better pre-
pared to vote, and there will be less de-
mand for party work.
a word about our County Convention
on the 9Th Of July. The pathway of Re-
publican duty is always plain and clear
in placing before the people candidates
for large or small Offices, and nothing
should turn them aside. 1t is to always
place in nomination good, clear, temper
ance men, men that are open, firm, out
spoken, that will dare to do right, and
stand by their honest convictions always
The greatest argument against Blaine,
Conkling and Morton was that they all
wanted the nomination at Cincinnati and
worked hard for it,-too much political
trimming. Let the people seek the man,
and not the man the people. 1t is dirty
work to be teasing for Office and the
American people are becoming Disguised
with it. We discuss the merits of no
man. Let the citizens come together
and select q man Independent of wire
working at the primaries to secure the
nomination. Such dirty work should be
ended everywhere. The Republican par
ty is bleeding to day because of it. We
say then it is all plain and straight work
for every Republican, and also for the
convention.

A Clean Body.

ClcancSS is said to be next to goodness.
And yet there are some men who profess
9odlmesS, who do not seem to under
stand what it is to be cleansed from "the
filthncSS of the flesh"
They will talk about religion with
pipe in their mouths, or the juice of to-
bacco ooZing over their lips.
If they come near you, so that you arc
compelled to take in the perfume of their
breath, you'll not think of roses and pinks,
but of old carton. If they occupy a seat
in the railroad car, pool of tobacco
Juice in all its loathsOmeneSs detileS the
floor so that no one else can occupy it
thereafter without dcfilemcnt until it is
cleaned.
What would we think of woman pro
Tossing godliness, who would thus detile
herself?
Now God has but one standard of
purity, and however men may be disposed
to excuse the flthinCSs of each other,
God will no more excuse tilthinCs in men
than in women, and women cannot agord
to excuse it in themselves, or in men.
Think of the hundreds of clean, pure,
sweet-brcathed women, who are compell-
ell to inhalc the horrid fumes of tobacco
tainted breaths and old pipes for years,
and the multitude Of pure babies forced
to kiss the tobaccO-bcfouled lips.
No wonder so many of the delicate
little creatures die. The only wonder is
that any such live!
1t may be the baby is sick in its Grad
lie, The mother has watched over it all
day with untirimg devotion. But it is
better now, and her heart dances with
Joy. The doctor thinks it will get
through now without further dosing.
But the father comes home in the eve

sits down near the CRADLE with a pipe OF
a cigar The air the sick baby breathGS
is soon impregnated with tobacco smoke.
The mother is startled to see how pale

ness, SpaSmS and death follow.
SO, many man has smoked his own

But this hlthiness of the flesh intCrferCs

in a rented house who has smoked up
enough tobacco to build and furnish 4
