Il is rarely that our Windham county Re.
publican convention has performed its work
in more harmonious manner, or with more
satisfactory results, than was the case on
Tuesday. The senatorial ticket nominated
is an unusually strong one. DIR. Holton Of
this district is a man of independent and pro
gressvo thought his acquaintance through
out this county is intimate, he is well-known
in the state, and he will make himself felt as
a shaping force in the Legislation of the SEES
sion of 1884. Mr.. Garfield of the upper dis
triot is no less an independent, self-centred
man, and he will be found strong and intel
ligent representative, not only Of the farm
ing interests, but OF the general public af-
fairs of the state. The large vote which was
given to Mr.. w. p. Jones of Nottingham, as
a candidate for senator from this district, was
an exceedingly fattering and complimentary
one, and is indicative of the high esteem in
which he is justly held by all who know him,
as well as Of honors which lie in his path in
years to come.
Mr. Bolles of Rockingham, the candidate
for states attorney, is o man Of mature years,
a competent lawyer, and is vouched for by
his brethren of the legal profession as a man
in every way worthy to be elected to this i'm
portant office. Mr.. Kidder of Wilmington,
who received the nomination for sheriff, has
had long experience as deputy he is man
Of sound judgment and correct business hsb-
its, and it was pleasure to his friends in all
parts of the county to give him their support
in the convention. Mr.. Melendy, the pres
ent incumbent, madea very graceful acknowl-
edgement of the honors which have been
conferred on him by the county when he
withdrew his name from before the conven.
ton and left clear field for Mr.. Kidder Mr..
Melendy will turn his Office over to his sue
cessor with consciousness that he has per
formed its duties with dignity and ability and
that he leaves q clean record behind him.
Mr. Lewis s. Walker of Grafton had the
united support of his district for the office of
assistant judge and will undoubtedly perform
the duties of that office in a satisfactory man
ner. The remaining places on the ticket
were all filed by the denomination of the
present inoumbents. The ticket as a whole
is one which should and will command the
united support of the Republicans of Wind
ham county. In his speech before the ad-
journment made by request of the conven-
ton, Hon. j. M. Tyler gave very admira-
BILE definition and summing up of the issues
involved in the present national canvass and
the warm applause which greeted his re-
marks indicates that there will be no defec-

Fre.h Air for Poor Cb,Idr.u.

Thousands of children last year were sent
to the country and given a two weeks run in
fresh, wholesome air, perhaps for the first
time in their lives, through the efforts of
some who have taken the matter in hand to
provide little relief to the thousands who
otherwise would have to remain beneath the
shadow of dingy brick walls where scarcely
ray of sunshine ever penetrates. Doubtless
many, if not all, of our readers are more or
conducted. First it is necessary to find
those willing to receive one or more of these
children into their homes and care for them
for two weeks. The CHI ildren are carefully
selected by workers among the poor from a
personal knowledge of each child and its
surroundings 1t is possible, of course, to
be deceived, but the precautions taken are
such that there is little chance for any ex-
cept the needy. Twenty towns in Vermont
received upwards of 400 Fresh Air" chill
dren last year, St. Johnsbury alone caring
for 200. With few exceptions the behavior
of the children was satisfactory. The waits
are by no means ideal poor children, with
scrupulously clean and carefully mended gar
ments, who have seen "better days" models
of good behavior, full of gratitude for every
thing done, but they are real human children
just like any others, and just as they are
found by those going about TO ''rescue the
perishing"-a few among the multitude OF
those most likely to be benefited by fort
nights sojourn among the green hills as in
mates of comfortable homes. 1t is probable
there are some, perhaps many, in Brattleboro
and surrounding towns who would willingly,
and even gladly, receive one or more of these
little ones under their roofs for two weeks. The
words of the Master InRsmuch as We did it
unto one of the least of these ye did it unto
me"-come to us with double meaning when
a moments thought is given to those thous-
ands of His children who may receive little
from our hands.
If there are any who will receive one
or more of these little ones into their homes
they are asked to send their names and places
of residence, together with the number they
will receive, to Mr.. A. NJ. Ingham, general
secretary of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION, Brattleboro. In doing 80 they will
confer a favor, beside making glad some
heart, and in comforting blessing, no doubt,
receive a greater one in return.

The Boston Globe says that the number of
friends of Gen. Butler who will attend the
Chicago convention will be very large, and
denies the insinuatiOn that they will receive
any remuneration for going, beyond the salts.
faction they will feel if they can aid in any
way in bringing about the nomination and
election of ''the hero of New Orleans" They
propose to use all fair and honorable means
to impress the convention, and if shouting
at the rigat moment will do it, it is certain
that they will have their best lungs with them.
The nomination of Butler by the Democratic
national convention seems like an exceedingly
improbable thing, but it is evident, neverthe-
less, that the Democrats are very much afraid
of "the old man."
