@The canvass among tho Republl-
cans Of the state for the first place upon
the state ticket is being made with con.
siderable vigor and with some noise. 1t
is manly confined to east.siders, but some
Of the west side journals are bound to
have hand in it. The question Of can.

tied by the press in favor of Hon. b. D.
Harris that it scarcely seemed necessary
to 60 through the formality of conven-
ton. But that movement is about over
now. The Globe, only, retains its pristine
pluck and vigor, in advocating the claims
of its favorito candidate. MIR. Estey is
developing good deal of strength all
over the state, and is likely to carry his
county almost solid.
The coveted nomination is now thought
to lie between Deacon Estey and the
farmers candidate, Col. John b. Mead
Of Randolph. The latter gentleman had
been mentioned quite frequently and fav.
orably, but no action had been taken to
bring him forward until recently. En-.
couraged by the controversy between the
two most prominent candidates, his friends
lately held conference, canvassed the
situation, and concluded that he might be
brought forward with success. The
farmers, with considerable show of reason
claim consideration this year, and as they
are presenting so creditable a candidate
it would not be strange if tho nomination
we're conceded to them.
In case the people cannot agree upon
either Of these men,it is thought the Hon.
4. p. Walton OF Montpelier will be the
coming man. With either of these gen.
tlemen at the head of the executive de.
