denomination Of Colonel Joyce.

THE result in the first district was not unex-
pected. Colonel Joyce won the place from Mr.,
Willard six years ago because he worked for It
and MIR Willard would not. He has made a
faithful and popular member, and he now holds
the place from Governor Stewart because he does
work that Governor Stewart will not do, and be-
cause the aspirants in Bennington county want
him to hold the place for them. This is for him
n temporary success. To Governor Stewart II is
not hopeless defeat, because the qualities that
he has exhibited grow. lie is too strong to be
lively, too dignified to scramble, too honest to
trade too modest to push A good many people
are not sorry he does not go to the house, because
they think he Is liable to be wanted soon for the
senate, and they prefer Joyce In his present place
TO any other man who would be likely to get ii.
The first district Is famous for close contests and
numerous ballots, but equally noted Tor resulting
harmony-St. Adams Messenger.
THE congressional contest in this district ended
happily last evening in the denomination OF Colonel
Charles ii. Joyce. His competitors were all ex-
ceent men, who would worthily have represented
the district, but the personal popularity of Colonel
Joyce, because of his stalwart Republican views
frankly pronounced and fearlessly maintained on
the floor of the confederate congress, gave him an
enthusiastic following of devoted adherents from
all parts of the district that stood steadfasty by
him through twenty-four ballots to final triumph
The fact that In 1882 Vermont will have but two
representatives, instead of three, as at present
makes the election of Colonel Joyce, all things
considered, a wise solution OF the contest. The
enlarged domain Of the Rutland district in 1882
will include n large number of voters who have
had no part in the nomination made to-day, and
a new candidate would be in no position to fairly
expect or claim reelection, so that it was quite
as well to let Colonel Joyce fill out the remaining
term under the old domain, which leaves a clear
field and no complications for the first election
under the new arrangement. Colonel Joyce has
been promptly attentive to all business confided
to him by his constituents, and has made a good
congressman. His personal popularity with his
constituents has been severely tested by this con-
test with so strong and popular opponent as Gov
ernor Stewart but he has successfully borne the
strain -Rutldnd Herald

in this campaign. Il will not be thrust
upon the party unbidden. It must be wooed
by all the ardor of youth and the wisdom
and determination of age. We must have
recourse to the energetic methods that pre-
vail in other good Republican states where
the people meet in large and enthusiastic
rallies. Popular speakers should leave their
footprints on every stump in the state. Men
familiar with public affairs, our senators
and representatives in congress, should meet
the people face to face and discuss the issues
on which this contest hinges. Political doc
uments and newspapers are good, but one
such living speech as Mr.. Horr made in this
village Friday evening is worth CARLOAD

iority in this state, especially by PROSECUTING

sand this year, another thousand next year,

opponents are met by corresponding activity

trim its lamps now, if it would shine with
heightened splendor in September.

The First District Convention.

Contrary to what we believe to be the
choice of the majority of the Republican
voters of the district, and in opposition to
established precedents before which the
most eminent men who have represented
the district have retired, Hon. c. H. Joyce
was nominated for his fourth term in con-
gress at the Rutland convention. Mr.. Joyce's
denomination will insure TO the state the
service of representative of large expert
ence in the difficult and intricate matters of
national legislation. Mr.. Joyce has been
faithful to his constituents and has labored
in their interest with untiring zeal. He has
been fearless in his opposition to the parti-
san schemes of the dominant party. He has
perhaps been the most conspicuous figure in
the Vermont delegation in the house both
by reason of his longer experience, his con-
slant attendance to his duties and natu-
rally aggressive spirit. These facts which
have been studiously worked up by his
friends and advocates have had powerful
influence in bringing about the exceptional
honor of fourth nomination. The pros
pective redistricting of the state on the
basis of the new census, and the idea that it
was as well to let Mr.. Joyce fill out the un.
expired existence of the old district and SO
leave an unencumbered field two years hence,
had an important secondary bearing on the
result Mr.. Joyce's candidacy will be Loyalty
accented nv tho Repuhlicans of the district
and by none more Loyalty than those who
advocated and supported the claims of Hon
John w. Stewart.

The Elusive Democracy.

The high-blown enthusiasm of the Democ-
racy finds expression in elusive declarations
of undyiug devotion to the flag of the Union,
and sycophantic adulation of the martial
deeds of the soldiers of the rebellion. How
long since this party has been the champion
of the soldiers By whom were these same
soldiers, in those days when words Ct en-
enlargement had a value, stigmatized as
"Lincolns hirelings," and other terms of OPP
probrium heaped upon them till the out
ragged feelings of communities often found
vent in deeds of violent vindication This
post norton devotion to cause which, as a
party organization and by its local and ma
tional political leaders, they denounced, de-
clared failure, and hampered by every
means in their power when it needed the
united support of every citizen to preserve
its existence, is extremely edifying to those
who remember the events of the four years
of war time. Large numbers of patriotic
Democrats were the peers of Republicans in
their services to the Union, and their title to
speak of their devotion to the flag and the
Union cause was won "by the arduous great
ness of noble deeds" But the party as an
organization, and by far the larger majority
of its leading MEMBERS are on record as the
foes Of the Union, who sought its destruc-
ton by open warfare and secret intrigue.
Now this latter class are loudest in proclaim
ing their love for the old flag their devotion
to the Union, their regard for the soldiers,
and an uniformed observer might draw
the conclusion from passing events that the
political party which won the significant
title of Copperhead during the war was the
power that saved the Union, and Republi-
cans had sought its destruction. Stealing
the livery of heaven to serve the devil " was
never more forcibly exemplifed.

The State Canvass.

The overshadowing interest that attaches
to the great national contest now fully inau-
gurated is having tendency to draw away
attention from the fact that the result of
our state election will have an important
bearing upon the issue of the national cleo
ton in November. The Democracy appre-
ciate this fact, and are making systematic
efforts to reduce the Republican majority in
the September election. For them, reduc-
ton of the majority in this state below
twenty thousand would have all the moral
effect of victory. They expect the state
will go neutrality-suspicious. know it
will, but to have the moral effect of Re
publican victory it must be carried by full
or an increased Republican majority. In
the last presidential year Horace Fairbanks
majority for governor was twenty-three thou
sand seven hundred and thirty-fve. A ma
jority of twenty-five thousand for Farnham
should be the minimum of Republican ex.
pectations this year. Such report from
the banner state Of Republicanism would be
as inspiring to our friends in other states as
Union victory was in war time. The
grand entry of the presidential candi
dates into the political arena having beer
made, and the excitement incident to thai
event having had its BOOM" the STATE
canvass should now receive the careful ant
sober attention of political workers Ant
this class of very useful but much abusec
citizens should be enlarged to Include ever,

success. Success will be won by hard worl

Our Obelisk.

Hdrper's Weekly gives this week an inter
esting summary of the romance of the
American obelisk from Egypt, which is now
on its way, and likely to get to New York
about the middle of July. This obeisk of
ours is the original and only Cleopatra's
Needle" and the first and principal reason
we happen to have it is that the khedive told
Mr.. Dixon (who moved TO London its pros
trate fellow that he should like to make a
present of the standing obelisk to this coun-
try. just here the editor of the New York
World steps in. He had met the khedive
some years before and found how much in
terested he was in the formation all over the
world of collections of Egyptian art, and
how particularly anxious he was that Amer
lea should do something in the same direc-
ton. Mr.. Hurlbert accordingly called upon
ga citizen of wealth" Understood to be
Mr.. Wonderfully, who agreed to defray the
expense Of the removal of the obelisk, and
after the withdrawal of the contract with
Mr.. Dixon,-who brought the obelisk To
London after several mishaps which will be
remembered, he engaged for the work Lieu
tenant Commander Gorringe of the navy
who had made special study of means fol-
lowering and transporting the monument
There were several complications in the
British offices, but finally the business was
committed to Gorriuge, who was granted
special leave of absence for the purpose

The census enumerators in most Of our
localities, who so recently started out with
an air of no little self-complacency in view
of their official responsibilities, have returned
with somewhat subdued air, from the fact
that their completed labors show the inhabi-
tants TO be less numerous than they had
hoped or believed, and consequently they are
in some measure censured by sadly disap-
pointed public. OF course these officials
are just now the most unpopular men in our
communities, and it is by no means surpris-
ing that our state supervisor has just sig.
nally failed to secure nomination to an i'm
portant political office which he supposed
was within his grasp
From the incomplete returns which have
been made public it would seem that our
state will show total population of some
three hundred and ten Thousands loss of
perhaps six or seven per cent in the last
decade. And this is by no means surprising
in view of the fact that our manufacturing
interests are SO exceedingly limited, and that
hundreds and thousands of our most enter
prising inhabitants are annually carried off
by the tide of western emigration. We have
little to build up any of our villages, and
many of them, by the shifting currents of
trade and travel, are unable to hold their
own, while our rural districts are continu-
ally drained by the western demand.
Underline new census the state will I'M
questionably lose member of congress, and
hence the necessity of making up in the
strength of our representatives what we lose
in numbers.
As to the general result of the census
throughout the country, there is no occasion
for disappointment if people will bear in
mind the fact that the ratio of increase is
smaller and smaller as the country increases.

Third District Convention.

Only two towns, st. George and Lexington,
were unrepresented at this convention, which met
at Hydepark, Wednesday, June 3d. The district
committee, through its chairman, W. II. Harmon,
named Judge NJ R. Tyler OF Burlington as presi-
dent, who urged harmony in the convention and
hearty support Of whomsoever should be the NOM
inee. The organization was completed by choice
of d. NJ. Camp of Newport as secretary. C. s
Kinsley Willard Harrington, C. C. Dodge, II. W.
Lsdd Nathan IIobson and N T. Sheafe were ap-
pointed committee to nominate district commit
tee. Major George 7. Childs of st. Adams, in
short but effective speech. presented the name of
General Grout as one of those who proved their
patriotism by faithful and effective service in the
field He appealed to those who opposed General
Grout two years ago to sink all minor issues, and
to give him the hearty support essential to sue
cess. The nomination was seconded by Captain
L. A. Woodbury. OF Burlington. in behalf of the
large majority Of the delegates from Chttenden
county; by Hon. A. C. Wilson of Troy, in behalf
of the solid delegation of Orleans county, and by
a delegate from Essex county in behalf OF the del
egaton of that county.
c. s. Palmer, Esq, Of Jericho said the name of
Judge Powers was known all over the district,
and nestled in every hamlet. In presenting 1t,
he was the spokesman of no clique or set of po-
litical managers. He threw no clubs at any
soldier, and desired no discord; but in the exer-
else OF his right to choose the best man for our
nominee, and in behalf Of the common people,
in the utmost confidence in his ability and nteg
rty, he presented his name. The nomination of
Judge Powers was seconded by Joseph Northrup
of Fairfield and by Hon. p. X. Gleed OF Morris
vile. lie eulogized Judge Powers as good
neighbor, husband, citizen and man. The dele
CATION for Lamoille county was solid-fused by
their enthusiasm. Such nominations should come
fresh from the people. The people had sought
Judge Powers and while the judge had not sought
the office he would cheerfully yield to the de-
mands of the people He thought the way to
secure peace in the party was to take candidate
not connected with either side of the old strife This
was a great spontaneous movement, and the peo-
pie were ready to rise up and anoint Judge Powers
as Saul anointed David.
IL. A. Burt, Esq, Of swanton, presented the
name OF Hon. Edward A. Sowles Of st. Albans
al one who had never suffered defeat and who
was man of integrity and ability The nomi-
nation was seconded by IL. G. Edison, Esq, OF St
Adams. The ballot resulted as follows;

The Third District.

Hope deferred seems not to have unduly
saddened the heart of General Grout. The
bitter experience of two years ago has been
crowned by grateful triumph. His nom
ination was feebly contested, but it was car
ried by so large a majority and the feeling
in his favor is so general that the tactics
which have been occasionally invoked to de-
feat the regular nominee in this district find
no encouragement that success would attend
second effort to defeat the election OF
General Grout We congratulate the gen
eral on the suspicious opening of his cam
paign and predict for him a majority that
will put to the blush the petty and ill-advised
opposition that came into existence appa
rently to show its impotence.

DEATH OF GEORGE RIPLEY.-This name
has been conspicuous in American litera
ture for nearly half century. For period
of thirty years he was president of the New
York Tribune Association and literary editor
of that paper, position he held at the time
of his death, which occurred on Sunday
afternoon, the 4th instant in the seventy
eighth year of his age. He was graduate
of Harvard College, and devoted several
years in Europe to the study of continental
literature, especially French and German.
He was warmly interested in the trans
cendental movement that arose about fifty
years ago, and was associated with Ralph
Waldo Emerson, and Charles A. Dana, and
other literary celebrities of that day in the
editing of publications devoted to that school
of philosophy. He was member of the
were George William Curtis, Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, and other notable persons for vari-
GUS lengths of time. Mr.. Ripley was its
founder, and lost in its collapse his small
property. His chief work for many years
past was the editing, in connection with
Charles A. Dana, of Appleton's American
Encyclopedia, both the original and the re-
vised edition of 1876. He had been the lit
erary adviser and reviewer of the Harpers'
publishing house, meantime maintaining his
connection with the Tribune as its literary
editor. A man of the purest and sweetest
nature, his whole influence has been worthy
and his memory will be cherished without
flaw.
