Bucklin was elected chairman, and p. Hol
ton secretary. The following named gen.
tlemen were elected delegates to represent
the town in the county convention to be
held at Rutland, the 12th, viz Joseph N.
Phillips, Howell Dillingham;, Ira Cook
The following named gentlemen were
elected substitutes, viz j. g. Williams, c.
G. Herrick, G. X. Bucklin. The delegates
are uninstructed, but are men of good
Judgment and will look to the interests Of
the county, and vote for the best men W.
believe Dandy is the only town in thu
county that has no claims to present. We
know of no aspirants for county Office
here, and perhaps it would be of no use il
there was, although we think we have mer
in town who are capable of occupyinl
most any Office in the county, but fear they
will not have the chance, as long as the
larger towns have so many candidates.
