County Convention.
for County Commissioner, assembled at tn,
Christian Association Hall, in this city
February 2lst, at IL a. m, when L. A
Fuller was elected chairman, and W. W
Atwater secretary.
On motion, all the gentlemen present
wero authorized to act as delegates.
Jchn Liscum then presented the name Of
| DR.. VIM. B. Lund, of Burlington, as can
didate for tho Office of County Commits
sioner, and ii. S. Clark offered the name of
Albert Town, of Richmond. E. B. Andrews
seconded the nomination, and vouched for
Mr. Town as a gentleman well worthy of the
confidence of the friends of temperance and
law in the County.
Mr.. Liscum stated that he did not know
whether DR.. Lund would accept the nomina-
tion, and Withdrew the name, when the Con-
vcntion proceeded TO nominate Mr.. Town
by reclamation. with unanimous vote.
Mr.. Town being called upon, explained his
views and position as friend of the law.
The present County Committee, consist
ing of E. A. Fuller, W. d. hall and Albert
Partridge, was reelected for the ensuing
year and the Chairman OF tho County
Committee and delegates present were au-
thorizcd to appoint the various town and
ward committees for the county.
The Convention was then addressed by
Mr.. f. A. Fuller, who regretted the ap-
parent want of interest in our county con-
ven;ions, and Mr. Bigwood, of Colchester.
who thought the temperance men generally
were willing to trust the business to the
few who always do attend. Mr.. A. b.
Simonds assigned, as another reason, the
growing conviction that most of the town
agencies are but little or no better than
common rum shops. which ought to be
abated as nuisances, and that many wcrc
unwilling to attend such conventions on
that account, or to assume any responsible
ty by having anything TO do with the busi-
ness. Mr.. Squier spoke of the difficulty or
impossbility of avoiding deception practic-
ed upon agents by purchasers. DR.. Butler
referred to his printed report, and said
County Commissioners were not 50 much to
blame for the privileges OF agencies, as
many suppose them to be. Mr.. W. W. At
water thought the whole system of liquor
agencies was fast becoming to be regarded
as needless, and injurious. and hoped for the
time when the entire traffic and use of rum,
even for medicine. would be abolished, and
offered the following resolution. which was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That, in our view, one of the first duties
OF q County Commissioner is to that such agents
only are appointed, as will confine their sales to
the smallest possible amount consistent with the
purposes of the law.
The Convention then adjourned.

BRaTTLEBoRo. -Brattlebor business me n
are complaining bitterly of the Central
Vermont freight rates. Estey q Co., the
organ manufacturers, pay more to freight
their goods to St. Johnsbury, St. Adams
nd Burlington than to Chicago, and 81 Is
demanded Tor hauling ton of organs to
South Vernon, so that the firm find it cheap
er to have their goods carted to that point
at g. The local argument is that it is
time for the town to give $4,000 to the
Brattlehoro and Whitehall enterprise. Law
yer G. n. Davenport favors the new road
but insists that it can and should be built
by private capital and subscription. For
this advice the old gentleman is savagely
polished off by Young Mr.. Davenport, who
edits the Reformer newspaper.
The subscriptions for the Brattleboro and
Whitehall railroad come in slowly, the
business men there showing but little en-
thusiasm for tn" project. and as the smaller
towns arc waiting for Brattleboro to lead
work is not likely to begin on the road this
year.
