fined to the minor candidates.. The
Lieut-governorship will lie between
Hon. +. j. Ormsbee of Brandon and
Hon. James X. Bachelor of Arlington,
in either of whom the senate would
have competent presiding officer. So
far as we can judge, Mr.. OrIhsbee is
the leading candidate, and without any
disparagement of his competitor. we
trust Mr.. 0rmsbee will receive the
nomination. We have known him long
and well, and consider him enc of YER
mOnt's best citizens. For treasurer,
no one is named against Mr.. Dubois.
He has held the office one term. has
performed its responsible duties capa-
hly, faithfully and acceptably; and by
all rules of custom and sound policy is
entitled to the nomination and re-elec-
ton, which he will undoubtedly re-
ceive. As to secretary of state, it is
understood that without urging him
self on his friends or the public, DR..
Nichols would accept a reelection /;
and he is the preference of many who
remember how acceptably he has per
! formed the duties of the office. who
think he took square and manly
course in withdrawing from the canvass
for the governOrship in the interest of
harmony and the fullest success of the
party, and who are not altogether
suited with any of the othor candi-
dates. His deputy, Mr.. Porter, is an
nOunced as a candidate, and the names
of Carroll 5. Page of Hyde Park and d.
NJ. Camp, Esq, of Newport, are also
frequently mentioned, with favor. For
| auditor, Hon. r. X. Gleed of MorrisVille
will, it is reported, contest the nominal

points in Auditor Powell's case are his
uhdoubted honesty, his experience,
and the large reduction, especially in
court expenses, effected during his
tenure of the office He has, il is true,
made some opponents by what they re-
gard (and with some reason) as over

that may tell in his favor in the con-

The Chicago Convention.

The republican national convention,
and the fourth held in Chicago, con-
vened in that city at 1890 Tuesday
noon, June 3, and was called to order
by Senator Sabin of Minnesota, chair
man of the national republican com
mittee. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Frank Bristol of Chicago, after which
John r. Lynch, a colored delegate from
Mississippi, was elected temporary
chairman, receiving 49, votes to 3S7
for Powell Clayton of Arkansas, the
nominee of the national committee for
that position.
Mr.. Clayton, whose record is neither
the best or cleanest, and originally an
Arthur man, deserted him and became
an ardent Blaine supporter, for which
it is said, he was to have been made
chairman. 1t i, we think, without
precedent, to have the nomination of
the committee thus ignored, and is an
indication of the conventions deter
mination to do its work thoroughly
and we'll, and as Geo. VIM. Curtis said
when advocating the election of Mr..
Lynch: This Is the supreme council
of the republican party, and by its
first act will the people Judge it,
The election of Mr.. Lynch the col
Ored ex-cOngressman from Mississippi
is significant and important. He is an
educated man, is strong representa-
tive of the negro race, and has been
superintendent of education in his
state. His selection is an honor due
him and his race, and was the work of
the staunchest of the Edmunds men.

DIR. Lords Lectures.

The value of biographical study has
been admirably illustrated to this COM
munity within the last few weeks. En-
ersOn says, "The essence of history is
biography" DIR. Lords treatment of
historical characters is necessarily in
epitOme. But it is marvellOusly com
plete. With each succeeding lecture
we were surprised anew at what he
WAS able to do for his hearers in
brief hour. He not only gives us the
character i'll its individuality and with
its idiosyncrasies, but succeeds in gath
ering, clustering and properly group
ing prominent cOntemporaneOus char
acters in the setting, and Mt the same
time we get some accurate impression
of the spirit, the temper and the man
ner of the times. Free from the fault
Of much biographical writing that of
being gOssipy-he succeeds in making
his lectures none the less interesting,
as the undated attention of his audi
ences affirmed.
His method of treatment, and the
way he must have prepared himself,
to prepare these lectures, furnishes a
valuable suggestion for those who wish
to read with some plan which may
make reading profitable as well as en-
tertaining. By means of his repre-
sentative characters, we get, in some
considerable measure, the history of
the age, and by the proper selection of
these characters to he studied, one
may so link the epochs as to give in
epitome, continuous history, and thus
realize for ourselves Emerson's defni-
ton of biography. DR.. Lords sixty
lectures, which are soon to be pub
lished, one can readily see by looking
over the characters treated, has in
some measure, accomplished this. 1t
would be difficult to find the same
amount of literature condensed into
the same compact form, which would
prove of equal value. For the young,
JuOSt W nO nave uOJ lIllt LOT
inal research, and the extensive read
ing requisite to become familiar with
these representative characters of the
worlds history, they are beyond value.
There is in literature, no substitute for
them. They will form in themselves
a somewhat complete little library.
One cannot read them without acquir-
ing vast and varied intelligence, diff
cult to be obtained from other sources,
without more reading than can be
done, except by those who make read
ing a business.
Such a course of lectures is exceed
ingly profitable to a community, not
only for the amount of valuable infor-
nation they convey, but especially for
the quickening effect they produce
upon the reading public. 1t is said
this was particularly noticeable at the
Athen8um, not only as stimulating
readers, but in directing lines of read
ing into profitable courses. We hope
it may be possible to have, at some
future day, the privilege of similar
course again offered to the citizens of
