Nominating Convention.

The executive committee of the Addison Coun-
ty Temperance society, after mature deliberation
and wide consultation with temperance workers
in different parts OF the cOunty,are convinced the
time has fully come when men ought to he put IN
nomination for the various county Offices who
will exert their whole official influence for the
faithful and impartial execution OF the laws of
the state in regard to the sale of intoxicating
drinks.
For a succession of years, the friends of pro
bibitiOn have cndeavorcd to operate through the
two leading political parties OF the county, to Sc
cure this end, only to he disappointed in the re-
suit of their labors; the last nominations being
more conspicuous failures in this direction than
those by which they have been preceded. They
therefore invite all those who agree with them in
these opinions TO meet in
MASS CONVENTION

the eleventh day Of June next, at ten O'Cock y.

THE Bennington Banner and one or
two other papers are vigorously boom
ing Hon. j. X. Batchelder of Arlington
for lieutenant governor. But the follow
ing from the Woodstock Standdrd, is still
about as near the truth as it can be:
1t isn't always safe to predict what a
State convention will do in the matter of
lieutenant governor, but the remark of
the Rutland Heroid, that f. j. Ormsbee
of Brandon is to have no competitor in
his county, would seem to indicate that
his nomination is almost Ioregone con
clusion. There has been more or less
talk about several Rutland county, men,
and if two or more had been in the field
the result would have been defeat FOR
all. Mr. Ormsbee is man whom all
good Republicans and good citizens can
consistently support, and he will make
very acceptable officer.

County
Committee

1T looks now as if the names of d. W.
Clark of Orwell and \. +. Stanley of
Leicester would be presented at the Re
publican convention, on the 18th proX..
as candidates for Senator from the south
end of the county. Possibly other names
will be proposed; but we believe the
choice virtually lies this year between
these two gentlemen. So far as we know,
these men are equally upright and hon
orable; but Mr.. Stanley has the advan.
tage of experience, having served as rep
resentative from Leicester for three
terms in the lower house. and having
been long active in the general politics OF
the county. Mr.. Stanley is a very GOOD
speaker. The speech Of his in which he
seconded Governor Stewards nomination
at Burlington has often been referred tC
as one of the best of that convention.
On the merits of the case it would
seem that Mr.. Stanley is entitled to thu
place.

THE following is an extract from pa
per on The Use and Abuse of Alcoholic
Stimulants from Medical Point of
View" read by Or. lIalsey at recent
meeting at President lIamiin's:
There are cases and they are not few,
when the iudicious administration of Il
stimulant will save life We
see such cases often here in MiddleburY
in that scourge which visits us so regu-
larly every year-typhoid fever-a visi-
tor to whom we hold out the hand of fell
lowship and ask to call agatha visitor
who will call, year after year, if we wish
him. and from whose ravages none of us
are safe-a visitor who has appeared in
nearly every home in our town, and yet
we take no steps to keep him away-a
visitor who will be with us always, I'M
less we secure good, pure water for our
town and then establish good drainage.
which. without a good head of water to
keep the drains fushed,i an impossibility,
and by so doing drive out this loathsome
disease we now so carefully nurse. More
important this than court houses, town
halls or what-not; and | trust that but a
very short time will pass before ii
will be done. fully and etlectually.
The above may not be agreeable read
ing. but it is true. nevertheless. There
is not a physician in town who will not
substantiate Dr. lIalseys statements. II
there were no other reason, the contin
ued presence of this disease is argument
enough for the putting in of water works
| yhicb alone can make a system of drain
age practicable.
