Brown of So. Hero. 2nd District:
Geo. L. Spear, of Braintree and VIM.
A. Richardson, of Island Pond.
The convention adopted the following
platform:
We, the Democrats, of Vermont, in
convention assembled, declare, as the
principles that govern our political ac-
tons, that we are opposed to the pres
ent unjust and discriminating war tar
if, which imposes unequal and oppres-
sive burdens upon the people, and are
in favor of such a revision and reduc-
ton as shall limit the production of
revenue from all sources to the needs
of the government when economically
administered: that the tariff should be
50 adjusted as to prevent unequal bur
dens upon the laboring classes, and SC
that it will bear heavily on articles OF
luxury and lightly on articles of neccs.
sity, believing that no government has
a right to burden its people with taxes
beyond an amount necessary TO pay it
expenses and to gradually eXtinguisl
its public debt; that we arc opposed tc
any other reduction Of the internal rev
enpe on whiskey and tobacco; tlIat w
are opposed to all monopolies and clas'
legislation, believing all citizens to b,
under equal laws, and that all are en-
titled TO equal rights and privileges
that we denounce the Republican party
as party Of extravaganza, corruption
! and fRaud and pledge or best effort
10 ovegfhrowahat party in the interes
OF good government, economy and re
form, believing, as we do, that therC
can be no pure administration of GOV
ernment by impure men; that, recog
nizing the fact that the urestrainet
use of intoXicating liquors cause misery
pauperism and crime, and that the pro
hibitory liquor law in this state in it
| hypocritical enforcement produces a
its practical result free rum, we hay,
the enactment of high and stringen
license law restricting the sale of intox
icating liquors, believing that such
law will be more conducive to temper
ance, good morals and good order il
this state; that we heartily favor tn,
present grand list law of the state, ant
are opposed to the election of any MAJ
to any office of profit or trust who re
fuses to comply in letter and spirit will
the requirements of that law, believing
that he who is unwilling to bear hi
just share of the burdens of taxation i
unworthy of our suflrages, and, having
confidence in the ability and integrit,
of the delegates this day selected t
represent us in the national convention
and believing they will act upon al
matters for the best interests of on
country, we leave them uninstructed.

THE nomination of James G. Blaine,
of Maine, by the Republicans, was a
surprise to many, and is received in
New England very coldly, while in the
great central states, in the West and i'll
the Pacific States it is received with the
greatest enthusiasm. What the out
come will be can not be intelligently
predicted at this time. One thing our
readers may be assured of, an enthusi-
astic and brilliant campaign upon the
part of the Republicans.
James Gillespie Blaine was born Jan.
81, 1880, at Hill farm, Washington Co.,
Pa, graduated at Washington college
in 1S47. In 1858 he went to Kenne-
beck, Me-, to assume the management
of the Kennebeck Journal. Shortly
after he accepted the control Of the
Portland Advertiser. In 1858 he was
elected to the legislature and served 4
wears, the last being elected speaker.
In 1862 lie was elected to Congress,
where he was kept in the House and
Senate until he accepted under Garfield
the office of Secretary of State. In
1868 he was elected speaker Of the
House, and held it until 1875.
As parliamentarian he has but few,
if any, equals in the country; is bril-
liant orator, and a radical dyed-in-the-
wool Republican.

1T is stated that in three hours after
the nomination Mr.. Blaine received
1000 congratulatory kilograms, among
them the following touchingly beauti-
full one from the wife of the late Pres
ident Garfield:

may be guarded and kept. A

How THE NOMINATION WAS RECEIVED
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

IN NEW 1UKK.
The news of the nomination of Blaine
spread with remarkable rapidity. Groups of
people had been watching the bulletin boards
during the afternoon, but as it became evident
that result would be arrived at before adj
journment, the numbers increased. When it
was announced on the bulletin boards, Blaine s
nomination was gener lily received with
cheers. There was for time evident con-
sternation among Arthur's adherents, but ii
quickly passed away and there is every evil
dencc that the Republicans of this city will
fall into solid line at once for Blaine
