II Is reported ia the dispatches that Senator

available candidate for President, and has COM
mitted himself fully TO the support OF Grant for
a third term This report is open TO doubt In
The first place. Conkling, who has been gaining
steadily in strength. has as good a prospect of
nomination and election as any other republican
IN the c0untry,-in the opinion of many, much
better one OF election than Grant. Mr. Conk-
ling, doubtless. has modest but realizing sense
OF this fact, and would hardly be apt TO make
formal withdrawal from the candidacy under
The circumstances; certainly not so long In
advance. IL is quite likely. however, that he

would work cordially together in support of the
one OF the two who should be found the
strongest in the convention.

M Of the best class of Republicans in the
STATE seems 10 D.. universally conceded The
temper Of the gathering was admirable and
what is especially gratifying to the Eepuoli-
cans Of this section Of Vermont, its control
ling spirit was very largely in unison with the
reform efforts Of Mr. Hayes administration.
Notwithstanding the efforts which have been
made by certain journals ia the State to make
it appear to the contrary. We are assured by
our local delegation that there was a manifest
determination on the part Of large majority
Of the convention not to permit the platform
TO either censure or ignore Mr.. Hayes had
such an attempt been made. The vital and
general interest which was felt on this point
was exhibited in the fact that. contrary
to the usual convention custom. az least nine
tenths Of the delegates remained in their seats
after the nominations were made in order to
hear the resolutions read. instead of hurried
~ dispensing as is usually the case-and it
was Just at the point where the opening reso-
luton afiirms that 'the motives and general
course Of the administration Of President
Hayes have our hearty appreciation that a
general and vigorous round of applause broke
in. It has been stated and no successful at
tempt to deny the assertion has been made,
that 50 per cent Of the delegates were evil
IDENTIFY in hearty accord with the general tenor
of the administration. Many would have
been glad to see more ringing and unquali-
fed endorsement Of the President embodied
in the platform but it was judged expedient
by the committee on resolutions nearly all Of
whom were Hayes men, to. so phrase the
platform as to strike an unobiectionaDle me
dunn Of expression which should disarm OPP
position. promote harmony aud so exert a
good influence both at home and abroad. In
taking this course we have no doubt, on the
whole, that the committee acted wisely. The
main point to be considered is the fact that
the general tone and spirit of the convention
was clean, encouraging and progressive.

From the Boston Herald: Mr.. Hiram At

'timidity has ruled where fearless action was

Not all of the Texas people believe in bull

fights has been indicted by the grand jury for
cruelty to animals, and so few of the citi-

state Convention Comments.

The majority of the convention was not in
mood to condemn President Hayes and the
sentiment of that majority was well expressed
in the hearty commentator of the motives
and general course of tine administration
which the resolutions contained. This COM
mendatiOn ELECTED the most hearty applause
of the day. These resolutions, by the way,
are evidently pleasing TO such republicans out
side this state who put the success of the Re
publican party above the delight of nursing
supposed grievance against the administra-
tion.-MOHtpehier Freeman.
1t is entirely useless to deny that there was
an honest difference Of opinion among the
delegates rs to the adyisability of endorsing
the Southern policy of the Administration.
Gov. Smith in his opening speech, fully rep
| resented the small minority of the convention,
which deprecated any such endorsement
| The committee on resolutions, having full
| knowledge Of the facts of the case. and being
| willing to accord ''in non-essentals, liberty "
presented prudent and well-considered res
olution, which was unanimously adopted

The work Of the locating survey Of the
Brattleboro & Whitehall railroad, has been in
active progress since last Saturday. Thus far
the work has been chiefly confined to the run
ming Of lines to ascertain the best way Of
reaching the Valley railroad track at or near
the West River bridge. On Wednesday a
line was run from the railroad station with a
view TO determine the practicability of COM
ing into Brattleboro by way of Centrcyille.
Both these lines Of entrance. by way Of Cen
treville and over the Valley track, will be
carefully surveyed. If that by way of Cen
treville proves feasible the engineers will
make up the exact figures of grades. distance,
and expense for both lines, and it will then lie
with the executive committee Of the road to
decide which shall be adopted.

The very full report which we give this
week OF the proceedings of the Republican
State convention held at Burlington last
Thursday leaves little to be said in regard to
the gathering. The nomination of Col. Proc
tor for governor had become foregone con-
clusion some days before the convention met,
aud there can be no question that in him We
have candidate TO whom the Republicans Of
the State can cheerfully give their sufIages.
The choice of Hon. t. p. Cotton of Irasburg
as "a candidate for lieutenant governor is uni
versally commended as wise and good one.
His nomination was judicious concession ia
the claims of Orleans county, and owing Il
his prominence in grange and agricultural al
fairs Mr.. Cotton will be justly popular among
the farmers of the State. The denomination
of Hon, J. 4. Page for State treasurer, by &C
eIamstion, was deserved compliment to tn
excellent administration Of u worthy official

Postmaster-G General Key is deserving of the
gratitude of the nation for the manly, straight
forward, statesmanlike manner in which he
denounces the plans and exposes the hypoc-
risy and perfidy of the Democratic leaders in
the movement to unseat President Hayes, at
the expense of the peace and prosperity of
the nation In his vigorous open letter to his
friends in the South, which is printed in
another column, after pointing out the base
purposes of the intriguers, he shows the folly
of their course by demonstrating that the title
Of President Hayes was settled iueyocably by
the orty-fourth Congress. He tells the
Southeners some plain and painful truths re-
gardng their Northern brethren, pointing out
their treachery and cowardice during the re-
bellion, and asks them if they can more safely
trust the Northern doughfaces now than they
could seventeen years ago He refers briefly
to what President Hayes has done to unite
the nation, and makes powerful appeal Ia
the common sense and patriotism of the peo-
pie of the South. The letter is brief, but il
is right to the point and every word is full
of meaning
