reference to the proper observance of

example Aantagonistic to Christian
teaching and detrimental to sound
morals, we the Undersigned, repre-
senting various churches along the
line of said roads, hereby enter Our
solemn protest against this project
and respectfully request all citizens
having at heart the moral welfare of
the community, to join with us in this
petition to the managers of such roads
to deny the use of their respective
railways upon the Sabbath for the
purpose aforesaid 80
This petition is signed by the pas
tors of all the churches in that place
ten in number-by the principal of
the academy and the chairman of the
Y. M. c. A. of Vermont, and will
doubtless be largely signed by the
people of the Passumpsic valley as
soon as the opportunity is offered,
We think the above wise move and
if the roads do not Of their own ac-
cord make a change in the matter,
we shall help to create such an sgi-
tation as shall take the matter into
the legislature. When corporation
see fit to trample on the laws of God
and man, it is time for loyal and
moral people to put an end to these
practices of wrong or their existence
as corporations.

HEARTY ENDORSEMENT.

The objections made to the republic
an nominees in some quarters, and
the effort of the democratic and por-
tons of the independent press to
make it appear that there is revolt
in the ranks of the republican party
in Vermont over the nominations of
Blaine and Logan, made us a little
curious to sound leading republicans
and to learn the temper of the dele
gates who assembled at Burlington
last week. Among the first whose
opinions we sought were the Hon.
Chas. Benton of Guildhall, Hon.
Franklin Fairbanks of St. Johnsbury
and Bliss n. Davis, Esq. of Danville.
Mr.. Benton was enthusiastic over the
nominations and manifested the spir-
it of energy that characterizes the
ardent supporters of the ticket in all
quarters. Mr.. Fairbanks was spe-
cially earnest in his desire to see the
ticket well supported and an old
fashioned majority rolled up in Sep
TENDER. Mr.. Davis manifested all
his characteristic enthusiasm and we
doubt not would have convinced a
hundred luke warm republicans, had
he had opportunity, of desirability of
giving the candidates the most hearty
support. Hon. III. G.. Idle of st. Johns
bury, president of the convention, in
fitting remarks on taking the chair
alluded to the national ticket and
the cheers that followed were long,
loud and hearty. From all sections
OF the state representative men were
interviewed and we found not a man
who would not support the ticket and
only a very few who did not propose
to do their utmost for it's success.
The convention, both by resolution
and demonstration, showed to every
body present that the temper of the
people as here represented is decid-
edly in favor of giving the nominees
the most cordial endorsement and the
ticket in September rousing major
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1884-06-23

hearty applause. The whole proceed
ing of the convention was harmoni-
Gus and all candidates were cordially
endorsed. The resolutions were in
accord with the sentiment of the del
egates and the party. At the close
Hon. Henry Ballard was called out
and spoke to the great acceptance of
all, heartily endorsing the Chicago
nominees.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVEN
TON.

The convention assembled ut Bur-
lington on the 18th inst, and ratified
the nominations that had previously
been made prominent through the
press: For governor Samuel E. Pin
gree of Hartford; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OF Ebenezer j. Ormsbee of Brandon
secretary of state Charles w. Porter
of Montpelier; treasurer, w. 81. Du
bois of Randolph; auditor E. Henry
Powell of Richford presidential cleo
tors-at-large, Joseph d. Hatch of
Burlington and Hiram Harlow of
Windsor. Mr.. Pingree's nomination
was well nigh unanimous in public
expression, though there were very
large number who would have voted
for Frederick Billings had it not been
known that he would have declined
the most fattering nomination. The
prevailing feeling was that Mr.. Bill
lings is one of the few really great
men in the state, and that his nomi-
nation would have been most accept
able to all classes. There is nothing
to say against Col. Pingree and he
will poll a heavy vote. On the ques-
ton of lieut.-governor there was much
caLvassing and an exciting contest
the aspirants being Mr.. Ormsbee and
Mr.. Batchelder. The former won by
quite a majority. There was no OPP
& position to Mr.. Dubois and Mr.. Pow
ell for their respective offices. Th'
secretary of state being for the frs
time chosen by the people Mr.. c. w
Porter of Montpelier and DR.. Nichol
of Mortified were in nomination
The canvass for Mr.. Porter had bee
managed by very large class of th
younger elements i'll the convention
theilawyers and few who had OF
jections to the other candidate, an
we have rarely seen more work don
in a given time for any nominee. Th
result was that Mr.. Porter won by
very small majority. He is a gentl,
man of good character and GOO
parts, has long been in the office
the efficient secretary and it is belle
ed will do honor 10 the office. III
feeling toward Dr. Nichols was mo
friendly, and when allusion was mac
to his name in connection with L
question of his candidacy for the c
flee of governor it was followed

DEATH OF BISHOP SIMPSON

The eloquent Matthew Simpson,
bishop in the Methodist Episcopal
church, died in Philadelphia Wednes-
day morning, lacking but two days
of completing his 73d year. He was
born at Cadiz, o., studied at Madi-
son (afterward Allegheny college
in Meadville, Pa, and at the age of
IS was tutor there. He had been a
diligent youth, and it is said that he
had in his ninth year so mastered the
German language as to read the BIZ
BILE in Luther's version; while still a
youth in Cadiz he used to preach in
the country churches and is it not
strange that the practice of medicine,
his first chosen profession, should
have been brief. In 1884 he became
a minister in the Pittsburg confer
ence; in 1887 he was made vice
president and professor of natural
science in Allegheny college, and
two years later he was chosen presi-
dent of Indiana Asbury university,
in which post he remained until 1913,
when he became editor of the Vest
ern Christian AdUocdte. He was
elected and ordained bishop at gen
eral conference in Boston in 1852,
and has been very effective in the
service of his church in that import
ant office. Bishop Simpson has held
conferences in all the states and We
believe all the territories of the I'm
ion. He was delegate to the Irist
and British conference in 1857, and
to the meeting of the Evangelical al
lance in Berlin the same year. Or
this occasion of the bible, returning
in 1858. In 1870 he again visited
Europe to visit and strengthen tn,
scattered forces of AIethodism ant
also as delegate to the English con
ference. In 1874 he visited Mexic,
and in 1875 he went to Europe t.

AYERS
Hair VigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu
lates weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruH, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
yIGoR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MR.. C. P. BRIcHER writes from Kirby, o.,
july 3, 1882 - Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time became
nearly bald. | used part OF bottle Of
AYERS HAIR VIGoR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair and started a new growth.
have now full head of hair growing vigor-
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation should have been
entirely bald
J.W. BOWEN, proprietor of the Nc arthur
(Ohio) Enquirer, says :" AYERS HAIR NIGoR
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
] speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The VIGoR is also

knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction a8s ssa
MR.. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of the
celebrated " Fairbairn Family of Scottish
yocalists, writes from BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 6,
1880 81 Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which fieeting
time procureth, | have used AYERS HAIR
VIGoR, and SO have been able to maintain
an appearance Of youthfulness matter of
considerable consequence to min tiers, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every ont who lives
i'll the eyes of the public" m
MRS. o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from IS Elm
St., Chariestotcn, Mass, april Il, 1852, says
:" Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came off. 1t thinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGoR the falling stopped and new growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. II
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. 1 Regularly used but one bottle
of the VIGoR, but now use it occasionally a:

to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR yIGog. Il
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti
cal of its value.
