and approved.
Representative Smith called the attention of
the Assembly to the fact that the Attorney
General had not yet kept his promise with re-
gard to presenting a report relative to the
validity of certain leases. The report had
been promised often, and the speaker consid-
cred the Attoney-General was treating the
Assembly with manifest disrespect in not pre-
senting it.
Representative Dole, under suspension Of
the rules, read for the fisst time bill to amend

right Of parties in civil suits TO waive trial by

The Caucus.

At the freemen's meeting to be held on the
first Tuesday of September next, the people
of this state will elect their various county
and state officers, representatives and sena.
tors, and members of Congress. All these
officials, from Justices of the Peace to the
Governor of the state, are of importance To
the hands of all are likely to be, and, in most
cases, of necessity must be, committed respon.
sible duties and trusts.
Voters ought to realize beforehand in what
manner their public officers are chosen and
aim to perform their duty in relation to their
choice, and thus have no occasion, when the
election is past, to indulge in criticisms and
regrets at the result.
Nearly all of these officers will be nominal
ed at county, state and district conventions,
and the September elections will be but little
more than ratification of the Republican
nominations thus made. Delegates to these
conventions will be chosen at caucuses to be
held in the different towns on the call of COM
mittees, and thus caucuses make conventions,
and conventions practically fill the offices.
The primary meeting, then, is of the first
importance in fact, it is the only one in
which the people can directly give expression
to their wishes, for after that they can speak
only through delegates who may and may not
express their sentiments and obey their will.
But these primaries are generally thinly at
tended. Though it is of more consequence that
the people should be present at and control
them than that they should turn out and vote
ct elections, the caucus is, as a rule, small
Ahair-so small that it can be easily captured
and the real wishes of the people defeated.
At the caucus held in this town last month
1t was remarked that there was not q voter
present from outside the village limits, and
that in all there was not more than twice as
many voters as the whole number of delegates
to be chosen for the two conventions-and
yet, these delegates were to have large voice
in selecting men to represent the state in the
national convention. Good boards of dele
gates were chosen, but no credit was due to
the voters who stayed at home. We hope
there will be large caucus tomorrow even.
ing, when delegates are to be selected to at
tend the convention which is to nominate a
Governor and the other state officers.
Ours is government in which the people
may, If they will, choose men to make and
execute the laws. 1t goes without saying that
delegates should be what the term implies
persons sent by others with power to trans
act their business as their representatives.

less to try to make anything else Of it. As
tho event proved, no possible combination Of
the opposition could have beaten Mr.. Blaine,
and this for tho reason that the Logan and
Sherman men we're Blaine men at heart, and
only waited for an opportunity to go over 10
him. More than a two.thirds majority Of
the delegates went to Chicago to nominate

Gus uprising, and doubtless was 80 to a very
great extent. New England, Maine alone eX-

with a sort OF dumb surprise
In the hands of this multitude the Ed

the other opponents Of Mr. Blaine back to

not do otherwise than they did. They could
only stand once more as a protest against Mr..

DR.. Nichols, Charles W. Porter and D. M.

No question would have boon raised in regard
to DR.. Nicholas reelection had it not been
announced for him with flourish OF trum-

for him to ask for a reelection and IL is pos
sible that this fact may cause decided oppo-
sition in the convention. Mr.. Porter, who
has been DIR. Nicholas deputy for several
years, is in direct line of promotion.
1t is probable that Hon. W. II. Dubois, the
present incumbent, will receive a practically
unanimous nomination for the office of State

In calling attention to the special town
meeting to be held next Monday afternoon to
vote on the question Of aid to the Whining
ton railroad it is needless to attempt to add
anything in the way of argument to what has
already been so often said in our columns,
both editorially and by gentlemen who are
anxious to SEQ the road built One of the
strongest things which has ever been said in
favor of the road is said by Mr.. d. S. Pratt
to-day. Until recently Mr.. Pratt has been
doubtful of the expediency OF attempting to
put this enterprise through. He has doubted
whether the prospective business would war
rant its construction and as matter Of prin.
ciplo under ordinary circumstances he has
been opposed to the bonding of the town.
But Mr.. Pratt has looked the ground over for
himself. He is surprised at the amount of
business and at the substantial, thrifty class
of people which he finds on its line. He is
satisfied that the road is necessary to the
prosperity of Brattleboro as well as that of
the outlying towns, and he believes that it's
construction would make Brattleboro so much
of railroad centre that it would compel the
concession to US of reduced freight rates by
tuo Hhlu luth Ol rhlnOhu. IN SNORT, MI
Pratt believes that Brattleboro should aid the
Wilmington road, under suitable restrictive
conditions, as O matter of wise and self-pro-
tective policy. Workingmen, and all others
with small grand lists, should notice what he
says as to who will have the taxes to pay to
build the road.
The whole matter sums up in this Viii
mington, Nottingham, and the other towns
on our southwestern border are anxious 10
have this road built in order to give them
boro, their natural central point for business
of all kinds. Brattleboro needs the road in
order to secure to herself permanently the
business of those towns. 1t is the one out
reaching arm which is needed to complete
once and for all her connection with her out
lying country. Nobody in Brattleboro would
have the Brattleboro Il Whitehall road done
away with for double the money it has cost
the town, and it is q fact which nobody ques.
tions that the Wilmington road would be in ev-
cry way as advantageous to US as that road has
been. Its cost to us would be so small that
poll taxpayers and men who pay on a grand
list of $40 to $25 would never know tho diff.
ference in the amount of their taxes
The question is, Can Brattleboro afford not
to aid this enterprise ? We ask every man to
not out of prejudice or in spirit of unrea-
soning opposition, but on the merits of the
question.

Your correspondent neglected to make mention
OF the memorial services, which should have been
done last week, The occasion having been observed
LOT the hrst time in TOwnsheud aud being SO admir-

In calling attention to the Republican state
convention which meets at Burlington next
week, we can only reiterate the hope hereto
fore distinctly expressed in these columns,
that strong delegations of independent men
may be sent to do the work which the people
entrust to their hands. 1t is possible to nom.
mate state ticket next week which shall
create real enthusiasm among Vermont Re-
publicans and do much to counteract the de-
pressing effect of the national nominations.
We have made no secret of our wish that the
convention might ignore the assumed rights
or claims of any and all candidates, and try
whether Frederick Billings would decline a
unanimous nomination. If, however, a con-
vention of strong, independent men should
nominate Col. Pingree on his own merits as
a man, and not because he is supposed to
have lien on the office of Governor We feel
sure he would receive the cordial support of
his party.
For Lieutenant Governor, E. ]. Ormsbee
OF Brandon, James X. BatcheldeF of Airing
ton and A. F. Walker OF Rutland are most
prominently named. All these are good men,
and we shall be glad to see any one OF them
nominated, provided the nomination is not

Mr.. Blaine calm and composed as though
nothing had happened, Mrs. Blaine weeping
for joy, and the Blaine daughters Clearing
around like mad''-such is the picture we
have of the scene under Mr.. Blaine's apple
trees at the moment the news of his nomina.
ton was received. An eyewitness of the
wild excitement in Augusta on Friday even
ing says that the din of steam Whistles guns,
cannons, bells, brass bands and human voices
was 80 great that "a stranger landing there
would have believed himself in the internal
regions" After screaming itself dumb on
this occasion and going fairly crazy with ex-
element, the town was subjected to still an
other big racket on Monday evening, the &C.
casion being the return home of the Maine
delegates to Chicago, accompanied by pick
ed committee of the California delegates, who
made pilgrimage to Maine to assure their
hearts idol that they would take care of their
side of the continent, and that California, Ne
vada and Oregon would be solid for him in
November.

state is sure to go for him by as large ma

was repeatedly urged by telegraph to allow
his name to be used for tho vice presidency,
but he steadily and positively declined to do

have been of small use, for it was settled
from the moment Logan threw his strength
to Blaine that he was to have the second place
on the ticket.
