The democratic state convention here
Thursday called together some four hun
dred delegates-good, solid looking Yer
monters. Hon. ". H H. Bingham pre-
sided and the following delegates were
elected Lucius Robinson. L. W .Redington,

large; n. C. Huling and &. P. White,
LIST district; N. P. Burnham and d. c.
Pollard, I'd district; T. w. McGettrick
and Geo. L. Waterman, Sd district. A
fraud resolution was passed and the unit
rule was not adopted. The Tilden senti-
ment in the convention was much stronger
than we supposed it would be. We
had thought the gooe sense of Vermont
democrats would make them almost
unanimous for Gen. Hancock nomination
but there are lots Of them who stick to S.
j. Most of the delegates prefer Hancock
but there are said to be few Tilden men
among them. The delegation is a strong
one taken as a whole. Mr.. Bingham
declared himself opposed to a third term
Of MIR. Bingham as candidate for governor.
