of getting up in the night and walking about

THE Vermont delegation again named Col
onel George w. Hooker to be the Vermont
member of the national republican committee,
and he was afterwards chosen temporary secre-
tary Of that body Colonel Hooker has proved
himself a most useful and energetic member
of the committee and his reappointment will
be particularly satisfactory to his fellow
citizens in Vermont. Vermonters at Chicago
were the especial objects of the colonePs care
The demand for tickets of admission to the
convention was never 80 great, but Colonel
Hooker was equal to the occasion, and with
unfailing good nature he responded to the
pressing demands upon him. He has had
large experience on this committee and as an
member Of the body, il indeed he is equalled
by any and in endurance he is as tireless as
the day is long.
