Republican State Convention.

The republicans Of Vermont, through their
delegates. are hereby Invited to meet in con-
vention, in the city of Burlington, on WEDNEs-
DAY, THE 18th DAY OF JUNE, A. d. 1884 at ten
o'clock A. NJ, for the purpose Of placing In
nomination candidates for the offices of gov
ernor, lieutenant-governor treasurer, secretary
Of state, auditor of accounts, and two preslden-
tial electors-at-large, to be supported by the
freemen of the state at the next biennial cleo
ton; also for the appointment of state COM
mittee. Towns will be represented in convention
on the basis Of one delegate from each town,
one for every one hundred votes and one for
every fraction of one hundred votes exceeding
fifty cast for the republican candidate for gov
ernor in 1880. Delegates will provide them
selves with proper credentials signed by the
officers of their several primary meetings, and
present them to the state committee at their
headquarters, the Van Ness House, immedi-
atey upon their arrival in Burlington. The
usual courtesy of fare one way will be extended
by the several railroads in the state.
On the above basis, the several towns in the
counties named will be entitled to representa-
ton as follows:

THE caucuses for the choice of dele
gates to the state convention will be quite
generally held this week. The WATCH.
MAN has repeatedly directed the atten-
tion of voters to the Importance of these
primary meetings. Never unimportant,
this year they are of vital consequence to
the republican party of the state. Re-
cent events have made it very plain that
the interest in the political canvass this
summer must draw its inspiration from
the state ticket. If that is composed of
such men, particularly in the chief execu-
tive offices, as it is possible to obtain, a
spirited and enthusiastic canvass will en-
sue; in September Vermont will cast her
old-time republican majority and possibly
supplement it with a few additional
thousands. Let the best men in each
town, men of intelligence, of independ-
ence and of clear convictions, be chosen to
60 to Burlington to do the work to be
done week from to-day. Such men will
deliberate and will act for the best inter.
ests of the state and party. Whether
Vermont shall maintain or shall abridge
her customary republican majority, will
depend very much upon the action of this
convention. 1t is duty Vermonters can
not neglect or lightly treat at this time.
Let them give it their serious attention.

THE Vermont delegation at Chicago
stuck to Edmunds to the last. They did
all that honorable men could do to ad.
vance the interests of their candidate,
and they deserve the commentator of
the people of the state. They could not
achieve impossibilities. The elements of
opposition to Mr.. Blaine would not COM
bine on Mr.. Edmunds. Hawley, Sher-
man and Arthur delegates were either
solid for their own man, with the hope
that he would win, or if they had any
second choice they were under the power
full spell of the Man from Maine. The
combination would not combine. The
Arthur men wanted the whole of Ed
munds' strength to bring their candidate
alongside of Blaine, hoping to dismay his
followers. Hawley's men stuck to him,
believing that in the event of dead
lock a western man would be chosen and
their candidate made second on the
ticket. Sherman men held to their candi-
date, expecting that in the eventful dead
lock he would be the creature of the com.
bination. 1t was a cold day for dark
horses. The Blaine and Logan combina-
ton was invincible.

Letters from the People.
STATE TREASURER,

Mr. Editor:-We rejoice in what you have
done and are doing to give us governor of the
peoples choice rather than that Of a clique"
or ring" We look to you to use the same
independent, persevering diligence to give us
men of high character to fill the other state
offices We do not want any cheap politicians,
who have no claim to- or qualification for office,
except that they desire and seek it. The people
ask for men OF principle who are worthy OF the
office and in whom they can place the utmost
confidence because OF their experience and
tried integrity. OF all the offices, that of state
treasurer should not be filled by a machine
politician, "a ring man." who has no special
qualification for it except that he wants some
office and, after being defeated in efforts to
secure other Offices finds that he can secure
this by management according to modern po-
litical methods often disreputable. But it
should be filled by a thorough business man,
thoroughly acquainted and identified with the
business interests OF the state-one whose
honesty of purpose and integrity Of character
are everywhere unQuestioned; who will honor
the office and administer its affairs as public
trust; who is in hearty sympathy with the
people whose votes he must have on all the
social and moral questions Of the day. II he is
cold-hearted in the temperance work, for in
stance, in the community where he dwells,
and takes little interest in the public welfare
except as he can build himself up, he is not
wanted for state treasurer. We speak of this
Office in particular because there is danger that
its importance be overlooked and an unfit man
secure the nomination, hoping to be elected
through the popularity Of the rest of the ticket.
We plead for the rights of the people and ask
that they, and not the "ring politicians" may
have the privilege of nominating the entire
state ticket, as they must elect it.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
VOICE FOR BLAINE.
Mr.. Editor:-For the first time since its
organization the republican party has NOM
mated New England man for president.
Though not Just what Vermont wanted he
comes very near to it, That part of the Union
that the rebels and democrats would have left
out in the cold in 1861 is at last honored.
The national ticket is strong one" the
statesman and the soldier" Hurrah for Blaine
and Logan. Now let Vermont make her state
ticket to match it, and we are good for thirty
thousand majority in September. Let the
people see to 1t in the caucuses and the conven-
ton that no man is put upon the state ticket
that is not big enough for the office. W.

FOrty.Eighth Congress.

TUESDAY, June st was dull and monot-
onous day in the senate, and adjournment
was made to Friday. A bill was introduced Of
fering reward for the discovery of the causes
or germs of yellow fever and method of treat
ment for the cure of the disease. The letter.
carriers vacation hill was passed; also the bill
granting pension to the widow of General Kill

Voting a Legal Duty.

The rights of citizenship bring with
them certain duties and responsibilities
which ought not to be lightly regarded.
The right Of choosing their own rulers
imposes upon the people the duty of exer-
cising that right in such way that none
but suitable men should be placed in posi-
tions of public trust. The New York Inde
pendent, in discussing this question, goes
further, and advocates the view that
voting should be made legal duty. It
says: why, then, should not the princi-
pie of compulsory service for the public
good be extended to the exercise of the
elective franchise, as well as to the per-
formance of military or jury duty, in a
government based upon the republican
theory of representation Law determines
the qualifications as to age, residence, ETC.,
for voting at elections for public officers /;
and all persons possessing these qualifca-
tions are legal voters, in the sense that
they have the right by law to vote.
Whether they shall vote or not is ques.
ton which our present system of legisla-
ton leaves to their discretion and thou
sands and hundreds of thousands of them
in this country exercise that discretion
by not voting. If all others were to imi-
tate their example, then populer election
of public officers would be impossible,
and republican government would
equally be impossible. Their non-per-
formance of this duty leaves the choice
of public officers to far less than the whole
body of voters, and often leads to the
choice of men who ought not to be elected
at all. The delinquents in this respect
are largely composed of that class of cit
liens who, in other respects, belong to the
better classes of society. This is a great
evil in the practical working of our polit-
ical system and there is but little pros.
pect that mere moral sussion and newspa-
per homilies on the duties of citizenship
will ever cure it. AS to the cure, we agree
heartily with Mr.. Chiffon, an eminent
lawyer in Baltimore, in the opinion that
voting ought to be made the legal duty of
every man who is legally entitled to vote,
and that the on-performance of this duty,
except in cases of physical disability and
necessary absence from ones usual resi-
dence at the time of an election, ought to
be punished by fine or some species of
forfeiture that will be sufficient to curs
the evil. We would make voting more
than franchise, to be exercised or not at
the option of the possessor. We would
make it legal duty, and back up the law
with penalty enough to secure the per-
formance of the duty. The proper per-
formance of this duty lies at the very foun-
dation of good government; and if every
man who possesses the right were required
to exercise that right, we believe that very
many of the evils now existing in our po-
litical system would be effectually cor.
rected. We should have better law.
makers and better administration of the

The Nomination.

The Chicago convention has done its
work. James G. Blaine has been nomi-
mated to the presidency by the delegates
of the national republican party. De-
feated at two successive national conven-
tions, he has triumphed at the third. For
ten years it has been vociferously main
tanned that Mr.. Blaine is the peoples
choice for president that his defeat in
the councils of his party has been the
work of personal jealousy and animosity.
After each defeat he has reappeared with

WINDSOR COUNTY.

The matter of the choice of candi-
dates for electors next week does not
seem to have been publicly agitated. We
understand that Colonel George T. Childs
will be candidate before the conven-
tion. The colonel is loyal republican,
has done much good service in the cam
paigns of the party, and is in every re-
spect worthy of choice as elector.

legislation and for integrity and accountability
in all the departments OF government and 1t
accepts anew the duty of leading in the work
of progress and reform.
1--WE lament the death OF President Garfield,
whose sound craftsmanship, long conspicuous
in congress, gave promise of strong and sue
cessful administrations promise fully realized
during his short period of office as president of
the United States His distinguished success
in war and peace have endeared him in the
hearts of the American people.
7" In the administration OF President Arthur
we recognize wise, conservative and patriotic
policy, under which the country has been
blessed with remarkable prosperity, and we
believe his eminent services are entitled to, and
will receive the hearty approval Of every citizen.
" 1t is the first duty of good government to
protect the rights and promote the interests OF
its own people. The largest diversity of in
dustry is most productive of general prosperity
and of the comfort and independence OF the
people; we therefore, demand that the imposi-
ton of duties on foreign imports shall be made
not for revenue only. but that in raising the
requisite revenues for the government such
duties shall be so levied as to afford security to
our diversified industries and protection to the
rights and wages of the laborer, to the end that
active and intelligent labor as well as capital
may have its just award and the laboring man
his full share in the national prosperity.
Against the so-called economical system of
the democratic party, which would degrade our
labor to the foreign standard, we enter our earn
est protest. The democratic party has failed
completely to relieve the people of the burden
of unnecessary taxation by a wise reduction of
the surplus. The republican party pledges
itself to correct the inequalities of the tariff and
to reduce the surplus, not by vicious and in
discriminate process of horizontal reduction, but
by such methods as will relieve the taxpayer
without injuring the labor or the great pro-
ductive interests of the country.
1--WE recognize the Importance of sheep hus-
bandry in the United States, the serious de-
preston which 1t Is now experiencing and the
danger threatening its future prosperity, and
we therefore respect the demands of the repre-
sentatives OF this important agricultural inter-
est for reimbursement of the duty upon foreign
wool, in order that such industry shall have
full and adequate protection.

There Is a paperware factory in Syra-
cuse, New York, that is intended to
turn out 500 paper pals per day. The
following is the manner of making the
pals. Rags and paper waste are steam
ed In vats for few hours and then
thrown into beating troughs, which are
partly filled with water. The "beating"
is done by a revolving cylinder with
fifty knives, set at different angles. The
knives reduce the rags to dirty purple
pulp and change the newspaper wrap
pers to soft mass. About 400 pounds
of material are put under each beater.
When paper and rags are each reduced
to pulp the opening of a trap lets it run
into the stuff chest in the cellar. One
part Of rag pulp to three of paper is run
into the chest. When pumped from the
stuff chest INTO the trough of the wind
ing machine the future pail looks like
thin water cruel. A hollow cylinder
covered with brass wire splashes around
in the trough and the pulp clings fast to
the wire. After the cylinder has per-
formed half revolution it comes in
contact with another cylinder, covered
with felt, that takes off the pulp. AS
the large cylinder gees down on the re-
turn trip, and just before dipping into
the trough again, all little particles Of
pulp sticking to the wire are washed off
by streams of water from a sieve. On
the inside of the cylinder is a fan
pump that discharges the waste liquid.
From the felt-covered cylinder the pulp
is payed on to the forming cylinder, So
called. 1t is about the shape of the
paper-cone caps worn by bakers and
cooks, but made of solid wood and
covered with zinc with the small end, or
bottom part of the pail, toward the
workman. The forming roll drops au-
tomatically when pulp of the required
thickness is wound around it. From
here the now promising pail is put in
the pressing machine, which looks some
thing like silk. hat block, in six sec
tions, with perforated brass wire upper
faces. The sections move from and to
common centre, and the frame is the
exact size of the pail wanted. The
workman dropped his damp skeleton of
pail into the frame, touched lever,
and the sections moved to their centre
and squeezed the moisture out of the
pail. The pail is still little damp, and
spends few hours in the drying room
at temperature of about 1869. The
sections of the pressing machine mark
the bands which are seen on the finished
pail. After it is dry the pail is lroned,
or calendered, as it is called. The pail
is drawn, like glove, over steel form
ing roll; which is heated, and is lroned
by another revolving calender, with
steam thrown on the pail to keep it
moist, as if it were a shirt bosom. The
pail, or rather its frame, Is pared at each
end, punched with four holes to fasten
