The result of the state convention on
Wednesday was what there was every reason
to suppose II would be. Lieutenant. Govern
or Pngree was nominated for Governor by
reclamation, and the only contest was over
the offices of Lieutenant Governor and Sec
rotary Of State The same feeling that OPP
Grated to defeat Dr. Nichols in his aspirations
for the governorship defeated him as can
didate for reelection az Secretary Of State.
One Of the most conspicuous incidents in
this years preliminary canvass has been the
decided rebuke given to all attempts to die
tate nominations or TO fix things beforehand
for the people, and II is not probable that we
shall SEQ anything OF the kind attempted
two years hence.
Whatever Of contest there was in the con-
vention was of friendly character, and the
outcome is such as leaves nothing but abso-
lutely good feeling in the party throughout
the state. The platform is brief and com
prehensive enunoiation Of principles such
as will win the cordial assent of every Repub-
lican, and the ticket is one which every voter
may support without protest or reservation.
At its head is a clean, honorable gentleman,
who deserves and will receive the confidence
and respect of the people of Vermont, and
whose candidacy is sure to awaken real en-
thusiasm among his old comrades-in-arms.
The names of the gentlemen supplementing
his are such rs are in oil respects fit to be
placed on the ticket. The convention has
given our state campaign good send-oiT
and 1t now only remains for Republicans in
every section of the state to take hold in
earnest and make ready to give the ticket an
old fashioned majority in September.

MINOR NOTES.

President Arthur has been in New York this
week, taking one day for fishing and one to
visit his son in Princeton college.
EX-Presdent Theodore d. Woolsey of Yale
college heads the call for the organization of
a Blaine club in New Haven.
While Puck and such papers are trying to
belittle Gen. Grant, and leading Democratic
papers are trying to make the public believe
that he is responsible for the policy pursued
by the swindlers who have used his name, his
old followers in the Army of the Potomac
have made him the president Of their associa-
ton.
An immense meeting of Republicans was
held at Music hall Cincinnati, Saturday night,
to ratify the nomination of Blaine and Logan.
-Four thousand people were present. Murat
Halsted was president of the meeting.
The Commissioner Of Pensions requests all
soldiers Of the late war now living In this
state who were captured and confed in rebel
prisons, TO send their names and military rec
ord TO Comrade W. @. II. Lewis of Bellows
Falls,
Mr.. Blaine and Gen. Logan visited Senator
Hale's home at Ellsworth, Me-, Tuesday and
were received with the utmost enthusiasm. A
reception was given in public hall, followed
by speeches from Mr. Hale, Mr.. Blaine and
Gen. Logan, which were listened TO by large
audience in front of Mr.. Hale's residence.
Senator Edmunds on the political situa-
ton: Republican success in the approach
ing election is, as / profoundly believe, of
such far.Teaching importance TO the welfare
of the whole country that all the individual
preference as 10 candidates and all personal
animosities should be buried"
The Fitz John Porter bill passed the House
Tuesday with the Senate amendment oonourr-
ed in, and It is hardly likely that the Presi-
dent will refuse TO sign the bill. The bill re-
moves the charges against Gen. Porter and
restores him to the rank of colonel in the reg.
ular army, but withholds from him the un-
earned pay for the twenty-one years that he
has been out Of the service. The matter ia
we'll settled, no matter who opposes such
settlement.
Bishop Matthew Simpson Of the Methodist
Episcopal church died In Philadelphia Wed
nesday morning, aged 70. He was born at
Oadiz o., was educated at Meadvile, Pa,
and became a minister In the Pittsburg CON
ference in 1884. From 1887 TO lS4S he was
engaged in educational work. He was elect
ed ard ordained bishop at the general confer
enGe he'd in Boston in 1859, and has been
very effective in the service of his church in
that important office. There are thousands
of people in every state in the Union who
have been thrilled by his simple eloquen0e
and stirred by 1t to new and better life

A VVise and yIodera,e word.

tFrom the Burlington Free Pressl
There is vast enthusiasm for Mr.. Blaine in
n number of Republican states and the New
York Tribune shouts daily, " Yo1 Jl0puH,
OoT Dei'-the people cannot be wrong. But
the trouble with the case is, that the very
considerable percentage Of Republicans who
at present withhold their support from the
Republican national ticket are not OF the kind
that can be won by magnetism" or taken
along by any amount Of shouting. They GER
tainly will not be induced to change their at
titude by reading them all out of the Repub-
lican party-as some of the more anticipated
Blaine organs are trying to do. The disafec-
ton with the ticket, on the part of the Inde-
pendent Republicans, is very serious mat
ter. II is plainly not confined 10 dOctrindireG
or chronic grumbers With many it is a sim
cere and sad distrust OF the future, il the
methods and tendencies which they under
stand to be represented in Mr.. Blaine and his
more noisy champions are 10 have sway in the
party and in the nation. Denunciation will
not affect these men. They can be reached
only by calm argument, joined with assurances
that, though voted down in the convention,
their presence and counsels are still desired,
and that their views OF what is duty as we'll
as policy are not to be ignored by the party
at large. In this way, aided by the Democ-
racy, who can be trusted to show all calm OBJ
servers that Democratic victory will be as
bad thing as can happen to the country,
many of them may probably be induced to
give the party they have so long trusted and
sustained another trial. Whatever can be &C
complished in this way, in our humble opin-
ion, should not be omitted by the managers
of the Republican national canvass for the
election is to be carried by VOtes, not shouts
and the votes of all honest and sincere Re-
publicans will be much needed next Novem-

We cannot avoid the conclusion that n very
considerable number of the voters who cast
their ballot against the railroad project on
Monday afternoon did so without a full APP
probation Of what they were doing. In 9th
err words we believe they acted from preju-
dice and misunderstanding rather than from
a conclusion reached through actual knowl-
edge and calm reasoning. It is fact capa-
BILE of demonstration that more than two.
thirds OF the grand list of the town was cast
in favor of the enterprise. By this we mean
that a strong majority of the largo property
holders-of the mon who pay The bulk of the
taxes-voted for the road. The manufacture
ers, the large owners of real estate, and the
merchants and business men were for the
road in a substantially solid body. We do
not for q moment mean to say that this class
of men should control tho town, or that small
property holders and poll-tax payers have not
an equal interest with them in its affairs But
wo do mean to say that the men who. are in
the thick of the fight to build up the town,
that the men on whose shoulders the business
interests of the town rest, that the men who
are here to mako n market for the farmer .
products and the workingman's labor, were in
favor Of the road, because they saw it to be
essential TO the prosperity of the town that It
should be built. We mean to say, also, that
the vote against the road was vote to seri-
ously handicap the efforts of these men. 1t
was o vote TO refuse them legitimate and nee
essary communication with one OF the very
best portions Of our outlying country-com.
munication which is essential to bring back
aud retain the trade of the towns on our
southwestern border. 1t was vote to cur.
tail their field of operations and to cut down
by 25 per cent their opportunities for making
Bratteboro an influential centre Of trade, and
the best market possible for the products and
labor of all this section Of country.
We are at loss to understand why work
ingmen and men with small grand lists voted
against the road, when the men who would
have nearly or quite three-fourths of the tax
es to pay to build it voted for it and for a
chance 10 put out their money for their own
and the general good Common selfshness,
IL a reason no broader than that, ought to
have dictated a precisely opposite course. We
cannot help believing that the time will come
when the men who voted against the road on
Monday will wake up to the fact that they
acted from wrong view of the situation and
exactly contrary to their own interests. We
hope that time will come before it is too late
for any action that Brattleboro can take in the
matter to be Of avail. For the present We ash
the people of Wilmington, Nottingham, Hal
ifax and Marlboro to still hold by the BELIEF
that the interest aud sympathy of BrattleborC
business men are with them, and that we still
have a well-assured hope that the time viii
come when our business interests and socia
relations will be made identical with theirs
and permanently so.

The Candidates,

Col Pingree was one OF Vermont's best and
bravest soldiers in the war. He led the first
assault made by the Army of the Potomac on
an intrenched work, at Lees Mills, leading a
battalion of the Third Vermont across the
Warwick river and taking by storm a line of
earthworks, at a cost to himself of two severe
wounds and to his command Of over fifty per
cent in killed and wounded. He was reported
dead, but lived to serve out his full term and
to come home with the rank of lieutenant
colonel and the respect Of every soldier Of the
Old Brigade. Since the war he has been
leading lawyer of Windsor county. Modest,
intelligent, high'minded faithful and capable,
Col. Pingree will make thoroughly excellent
and estimRble Governor.
Hon. f. j. Ormsbee, the nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor, will preside over the delib.
erations of the Senate with dignity and accep-
liability. He was captain of Co. G, 18th
Vermont. He is prominent lawyer of Rut.
land county, and has represented Lis town in
the House and his county in the Senate.
Charles W. Porter, candidate for Secretary
of State, was born in Hartford, VT, July / =,
1S49. He is a lawyer, and located in Mont
pelier in 1872. Has been deputy since 1872,
and was admitted to the bar in 1874. He is a
bright, able and popular young man.

DemOcra.ic PresIden.aI I.o..lblIlsles.

DemOCragtC N-rebtuengal l'OastDtItetea,
Gov. Cleveland of Now York has made
himself good record in many respects by
his ready aid Of reform legislation. All but
one of the Roosevelt bills for the reform OF
the New York city government have become
laws by his signature he has approved the
amendment to the civilservics act, extending
its provisions to all the cities in the state, and
he has signed the bill ordering all telegraph,
telephone and eectrio-ight wires in New York
and Brooklyn underground. Complaint is
now made, however, that he has damaged his
record and repealed the independents, as well
as strong element in his own party, by fail
ure to approve several important bills left in
his hands on the adjournment Of the legisla-
ture. Among these was the enure-of. Office
bill and bill designed to keep the manage
ment of the public parks in New York city
out of corrupt hands. 1t is also alleged that
he has offended The old soldiers and sailors
and snubbed the veteran militia organizations
by refusing his signature to certain bills de-
signed to give them suitable recognition with
out mourning appreciable expense on the part
of the state. 1t is evident that Gov. Cleve-
lands record will have to be put to the rack
if the Democrats make him their presidential
candidate. So much for one possible Demo
cratic presidential candidate. Within the
past week the Democracy have been a good
deal stirred up over the digging up of speech
which Senator Bayard of Delaware their next
most prominent candidate, made in Dover, in
that state, in 1861, when he was young man
of 30. In this speech he opposed coercion of
the seeding states and showed decided Sc
cession sympathies. This speech is much
talked of in Washington, and the Southern
men are said to be less ready to forgive him
for 1t than are the Northern Democrats. The
Southerners say they have no sympathy with
a man who was a secessionist at heart, but
staid at the North and simply kept within
bounds in his speech and actions. RIP Flow
er, the third man on the list OF Democratic
possibilities, is credited with being 'rich
mediocrity," who got his seat in the last Con-
gress from New York city district by per.
sonal shop-to-shop and saloon to-saloon can.
vsss against w. w. Astor. 1t is evident that
the Democracy are not to be altogether happy,
no matter on whom their choice falls for a
presidential candidate.
In the Democratic state convention held at
Saratoga, N. Y, on Wednesday, to choose
delegates to the national convention, q decid-
ed triumph was scored for Cleveland. Fifty
seven of the delegates chosen are for him,
against II scattering, which, under the rule,
assures the full vote of the state to be thrown
for him in the convention. The New York
Republicans are reported as satisfied to have
this SO, and as full of confidence that they
can beat Cleveland in his own state.

fine contralto voice. which it is pleasure TO
