elder. For a while the Speaker
seemed likely to have the most
friends in the convention but of
late it has looked as if his strength
had reached it's limit, and as if the
preference of the large uncommitted
portion of the republicans of the
state was concentrating on Lieut.
Gov. Ormsbee, the people of Yer
mont may be sure that they will have
in HIM an honest and capable gov
ernor. To excellent legal standing
and extensive acquaintance with the
public business, he adds the qualities
of perfect sincerity and straigbtfor-
wardness. He is a frank, open
hearted and manly man, above all
tricks and subterfuges one who
looks questions of right and wrong
squarely in the face, and who is gov
erned by his convictions and not by
considerations of policy or populari-
ty. This is the kind of man that
it does to site to- and whatever be
the merits of his competitor, who
| doubtless has an honorable future be-
fore him, no mistake will be made,
if at this time the nomination shall
fall with cordial accord to as true a
Vermonter and as whole-souled and
honorable a gentleman as Ed. Orms-
bee of Brandon.-Free Press.

men.
