Republican County Convention.

order by W. T. jones' chairman Of the Coun-
ty Committee The committees secretary
E. w. Stoddard, Esq, then read the roll of
delegates. But very few delegates failed to
respond as their names were called. Mr. Jones,
for the committee, then presented the name
of Col. Kittredge Haskins Of Brattleboro for
temporary chairman of the convention and he
was so elected. On taking the chair, Col
Haskins delivered twenty minute speech
the only one of the day, and an able one
in which he alluded to the national politics
and insisted upon the duty and necessity Of
the Republican party to maintain united
front in the face of its INSCRIPTIONS and now
powerful foe to frown down that spirit of
cavilling and opposition which have thus far
obstructed the President in his well-meant
endeavors to inaugurute reform measures to
which both he and the party are committed
which obstruction has discouraged and dis
tracted the party and emboldened the Dcmoc-
racy to acts and measures revolutionary in
their character and perilous to the nations
peace-and to be faithful to the principles of
national harmony, political purity and impair
tial Justice which are the watchwords of the
party.
Col. Haskins then called for the nomina-
ton of a secretary, and A. n. Swain of Bellows
Falls was nominated and elected. The tenn
porary organization was made permanent with
the additional choice Of Hon. Homer Good
hue of Westminster and Hon. Farley Starr of
Brattleboro MS vice presidents and d. b.
