1 have merely glanced at the mineral

it is enough to give you some idea Of

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS
The State Convention.

The republican convention hold here to-
day was one Of the largest ever assembled
in Vermont. There we're 72l delegates
entitled to seats in the convention and
GOO we're in attendance although the fact
that there was no contest for governor or
treasurer had great influence in keeping
delegates from distance at home.
1t was apparent last evening that there
was 10 be no opposition whatever to Gen
Barstow or Mr.. Dubois and that the con.
test for Lieutenant governor was 10 be
between Senator Levi X. Fuller of Brat
tleboro and Colonel Samuel E Pingree of
Hartford. The Fuller forces were much
the best organized and Col. Fuller wa,
present himself though his friends, Col.
Geo. W. Hooker, District Attorney Has.
kins and Speaker Martin, conducted his
efficient canvass. Col. Pingree was not
here but the Windsor county delegation
quietly gave their reasons for bis candida
cy. There wns however every indication
last evening that the Brattleboro candidate
was the coming man.
This morning the Pingree strength
picked up somewhat but the general i'm
preston when the convention met at 10
o'clock was that the Fuller boom was the
biggest. The convention met promptly
in Capital Hall and after calling tho roll
Ex-Governor Proctor was chosen to pre-
side. He made short and admirable
speech and the work Of the day was soon
begun.
Mr.. Weed of Shelburnc presented the
name Of his townsman, Genral John l.
Isarstow, for governor, and after the usua
wesrisomo soconding was done with The
nomination was made by reclamation.
But two candidates wcre put in nomna
tion for lioutenant-governor, Fuller and
Pingree. The Windham county friends
of Senator Fuller, assisted by many from
other counties, did tho wordy war for him
while Col. Seaver, Col. Walker, Gen
Ripley, G.. W. Cahoon, . Al. Tinbhalp,
Col. Lucia and Lieut.. harrington, With
many others, advocated Piugree's nominn-
ton. The most efficient man on tao Aool
for Col. Plngroe WAS, however, Mr., Hos
kisson of Mount Holly who undertook t.
advocate Senator Fuller's nomination bu,
pitched Into the soldier business in way
that reused many Of Col. Pingree's old
companions In arms and made very
lively debate.
The Mount Holly delegate by his niu
tlicious remarks sot tho tide for Pingrct
so strongly that Speaker Martin and Col
Hooker could not do much afterwards fol
their man. The first ballot resulted il
Col. Pingree's nomination by a vote Of
391 to 209 for Levi X. Fuller, 81 for A..
bert Dwlnell and scattering,
Speaker Martin nominated Hon. w. Fl
Dubois for treasurer and he was if any
thing more seconded" than Genera
Bsrstow had been. His nomination wa,
by scclamltion, there being no dissenting
voice.
Judge Poland, from the committee on
resolutions reported some very brief ones
which depiore the national calamity in the
death of President Garfield express con
tidence in President Arthur; reahirm
adherence TO republican principles; favor
education and denounco the ono term rule
for legislators. Tho resolutions were
adopted and the convention adjourned at
1880. having boon in session less than
three hours.
