by MIR. strong was ns stated. Mr.. Read
only got - votes on the first ballot.
These were all the votes the primaries
sent him from his district. Therefore
there were ~ votes against him. Thus
far the convention was doing lis duty
ana acting according io the expectation
of the primaries. AT this point the ring
takes possession of the convention, and
Mr.. Reads friends get up a trade by

Democratic nomination tor States At
torncy that Mr.. Reads votcs may be III
creased. Suppose Mr.. Read did get 81
from his district as claimed. This
would leave 81 against him. This is not
a majority for Mr.. Read; therefore we
say that the Southern district gave MIR,
Read the nomination, as Mr. Strong
stated in convention. 1t is well known
In the Southern district that early ia

Som For Gov Stewart 10 Ponder
The following communication from
the columns of the Rutland Review
will probably be read with interest by
all who know the Governor. However
intended by the party who wrote it, ii
is certainly al excellent plea for all de-
cent and honest men TO rally to the
polls for Mr.. Stewart:
EDITOR REVIEW - When John w.
Stewart was governor of Vermont he
signed a petition, gotten up by a set OF
fanatical bigots, TO get an acknowledge
ment of God in the constitution of the
United States. The names of govern
ors OF several other states were append.
ed TO this petition. The trainers of the
constitution were careful TO guard
against the possibility of getting thcolo.
gy mixed up with politics, and there
are multitudes of Republicans voters in
this congressional district who would
bitterly oppose any movement having
Tor its object an amendment of the
National Constitution, wledging
rcligionists. IL would be the entering
wedge of designing. plotting, mischief
making priesthood toward establishing
a state religion. ANY man who would
sanction such n movement is not a safe
man to entrust with the laws for a re-
publican government, no matter how
able he may be -and probably 10 one
questions the ability of the Republican
nominee or doubts that, being nomina-
ted, he will he elected.
A friend OF mine was obieciing Ia
the employment of Il certain mechanic,
and | said 10 him: "Ile is a good work
man." To which he replied: $50 is the
devil n good workman, but who would
employ him?' | trust that, having
had their attention call Il TO this signi-
iicant and momentous fact, the Liberal
lists, ~Spiritualists, Frec-Thinkers and
Independents in the ranks of the Re
publican voters of the First Congress-
ional district of Vermont will ponder
this matter well before casting their
votes for John ". Stewart. GA word
to the wise is.snfiicient."

because the said convention did not see

that the convention uld not act so as to

as we understand il, those attending

lists" They were simply t~rue-blue
Republicans, who felt that an essential
plank of Vermont Republican plat
form had been ignored when an advo-
cate of a license law was nominated for

Mr.. Fletcher's nomination, but the
large majority took the common sense

not called upon to deal with othel
matters.
If the convention had felt that III
mission was TO rectify the errors of the
regular convention by leaving off from
the ticket every man against whom
there were grounds of objection, i
would have been obliged TO make al
most an entirely new ticket. But i
would have simply made itself ridicu
lous by so doing. The whole party
had had an opportunity to pronounce
on every II of the candidates befor,

approved at the caucuses except G. "

John W. Lowell 4 Co. have i'm prep
aralion a new novel by Chas. M. CLAY
the author of "Baby ltue,""A Modern
1agar," &C., entitled .John Wynde'
Wives" that il ia expected will make 6
sensation. The incidents are founded
on fact, the scenes being laid in New
Orleans and Chicago, and VIC believe
some of the actors in them are still
residents OF the latter city.
A distinguished New York literaieui
writing of Charles Nj. Clay, says: 81
am in no doubt whatever as TO the gen.
%uineness of the authors genius. His
vigor, and above all his breadth are as
delightful as they are rae in these
days of mandy PANTY watering place
romances."
The same publishers have also in
press a new novel by Miss Margaret
Lee, well known as the anthor of"Lar-
mier and Wife," "Doctor Winners
Love-" "Lizzie Adrianoe, etc, emitted
Divorce" in which the author fully
sustains her reputation as a delineator
of American society life, and at the
same time showing the great injustice
of the complicated divorce laws now in
force, urging the necessity of enc uni
form law applicable to all the States
alike.
Both these novels will pc published
in handsome l2mo. size, and large type
at the extraordinary low price of 20 cts.
in paper and so cts in cloth. This is a
new departure TO place the writings OF
American authors on the same footing
as regards price as the foreign reprints;
and xyp arc curiouQ In soc in how far IA
may be a success; that the high price
of American novels, works injustice TO
American writers, has long been felt
andt we therefore hope both for the
benefit of the authors aud the reading
public-that the Messrs. Lowell may he
successful in their new venture.

JUDGE WICKER ACCEPTS.

The strange cagcrness of the friends
Of G. w. Read to assert that Judge
Wicker had declined the nomination,
rendered him by the convention OF
August %, even before his intentions
could possibly be known, is suilicien,
10 show with how much alarm his nc
ceptance was looked for by them.
We are authorized by MIR. Wicker 10
- ---"r'~ :. .~."'""r'o".
Ii is well known, and was proml-
ncntly stated at the convention, that
Mr.. Wicker did not want the nomina.
lion, aud no had strenuously repeated
to those who approached him on the
subject, his desire that some one beside
himself be selected.
Mr.. Wicker intended 10 be present
al the convention, where perhaps he
might have absolutely declined the
nomination, but fortunately, if such
was his intention, he was prevented
from being present TO refuse it.
Having been nominated, he has a
sufficient appreciation OF the impor-
lance of the issue involved not TO ell
danger success by refusing the respon-
sibility put upon him.
Whether he Is elected or not, his
course in the matter has been that of a
man who felt the unfitncss of the nom :
ination of c. w. Read, and felt that he
ought to be defeated, but he has de-
sired that the honor of the nomination
and the contest should go TO some one
else.
That he accepts is as much a source
of qualification TO the friends of tenn
perance legislation, who appreciate his
honesty, ability and popularity, as il is
a cause Of alarm to the clique to whose
designs his success would mean q dis
astrons failure.
