If we are correctly informed, the Rutland
delegation to the State convention is by no
means "solid anti-Grant," as it has been
stated TO be. We understand that there are
several Grant men in the delegation. But
the choice of delegates in Rutland did not
turn mainly on the Presidential question,
anyhow. The contest was between the two
sides Of their irrepressiblc local feud and
the most that can be truthfuly said of it is
that one of the factions carried the day, and
would probably have carried it as strongly
if every man on their ticket had been an
outspoken Grant man.

Ger, Louis II. Turk and Henry Greene as

Captain L. A. Woodbury. moved that
the standing rule requiring nomina-
tions of delegates and candidates by

abrogated, and that instead the old method
of selecting candidates by nominations from
the caucus be restored, and supported the
motion in some brief remarks, saying that

him, and not be compelled practically TO ac-
cept a ticket made up for him by ten or
1 dozen men

referring TO the ''snap judgments" which used
to be so common in the caucuses held under
the old rule. The present system had been
adopted at large and fully attended caucus

many subsequent caucuses. 1t had worked
well and he saw no good reason for change.
