A recess of ten minutes was taken
that the delegates might confer and de-
eide on the best man for representa-
tive. During the recess, there was any
amount of button-holing; the green
hackers were on the floor in force; a
few dissatisfied republicans were hang
ing around and a strong feeling was
worked up IN favor of Mr.. Jerry Simp-
sor as suitable candidate for repre-
sentative. Nominate Simpson and
we will support your entire ticket, :"
said one enthusiastic greenbacker
Put Simpson on ana every indie
pendent republican and temperance
man in the county will support him."
Give us Simpson and the knights of
Labor will be satisfied" said a man
who always scratches. The Kiowa del
egates, in the mean time, were flying
around everywhere, urging delegates
to vote for Hoover and they even prom
ised the solid vote of their town if he
was nominated. Medicine Lodge was
divided between Simpson and Hoover.
When recess was ended and the con-
vention once more became settled,
nominations for representative were
called for by the chair.
F. W. Hey, of New Kiowa, in an
earnest and well-worded speech, pre-
sented the claims of DR.. T. r. Hoover,
of that city. The nomination was Sec
onded by several delegates.
w. L. Williams, of Sharon, nomi-
mated Jerry Simpson, of Medicine
Lodge township and paid that gentle
man deserved and unlimited compli-
ments. This nomination was also Sec
onded by several delegates.
The chair appointed w. T. Williams
and F. w. Hey as tellers, when the
vote on the two names was taken By
bOllot, each delegate coming forward
and depositing his ballot in a hat on
the secretary's table. When canvassed,
tue vote showed:
1. ~. looVer. .............N
Jerry Simpson,. ..... ...... rs
The nomination of DR.. Hoover was
made unanimous amid cheering.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
BY EBENEzER j. oRMsBEE,
GOVERNOR.

In accordance with the time-honored and
revered custom, and in unison with the
President of the United States, | do hereby
appoint THURSDAY, THE 25TH DAY OF No
vEMBER, INSTANT, to be observed as a day
of thanksgiving and praise to Almighty
God. And, | hereby enjoin upon all of the
people of this state that on the day thus set
apart, they omit their ordinary and secular
employments, and give special thought and
attention to religious observances and du-
ties; and to that end, | most earnestly rec
ommend that all of the people OF this state
assemble on that day in their accustomed
places of worship and there make humble
and reverent acknowledgment to Almighty
God, for his goodness to them and of their
dependence upon him, and join in express
sions of devout thankfulness for his many
special blessings and mercies to our COM
monwealth. And in our devotions that
day, let us not omit to make earnest and de-
vout petition and supplication that the
hearts of men may be so changed that there
will be no place there for hypocrisy and
evil thought; that there may be more char
ity for others; that there may be better
observance of the Golden Rule; that hon
esty, temperance and virtue, may every
where prevail.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
state, in the executive chamber at Mont
pelier, this eighth day of November

the United States the one hundred and

people from every part of the state. Repre-
sentative Hogan made careful argument
against the report of the committee. Colonel
Mansur Vindicated the action of the com
mittee and argued in favor of the propriety
and right of the house to decide and settle
the matter. Mr.. Hogan proposed an
amendment to refer the matter to the
people of Rutland to be settled by the
popular vote. The amendment was tacitly
allowed to lie, and taken along with the
argument on the merits Of the bill. Mr..
Fisk of Morristown made an excellent and
dispassionate argument in favor of division
and against the propriety of submitting the
matter to the popular vote. The bill was
finally read the third time and passed by a
vote of one hundred twenty-eight yeas to
ninety-one nays.
ONE of the most worthy bills introduced
in the house this session is that OF Mr.. Bixby
of Chelsea, presented by him November
9th. II reads as follows Section one.-
The Secretary of State shall in each bien-
NAL election year, procure five hundred
thousand ballot blanks for town representa-
tives, consisting of plain white paper of
good writing quality, three by four inches
in size, with the words, For Representative
TO The General assembly, printed on one side,
and shall send them to the several towns at
the rate of one hundred and fifty for each
hundred inhabitants of such towns, thirty
days before such election he shall also
send with such blanks, instructions in re-
gard to the insertion of the candidates
name, and the cumming, sealing and open
ing of such ballots. No ballots except
those so furnished shall be received or
counted in the election of such representa-
tive unless il shall appear to the proper Off
GERS that the regular ballots could not be
procured. If any such ballots are pur-
posely marked in any way whereby they
may be distinguished after they are sealed
they should not be received or counted" i"
THE general committee held protracted
meeting Thursday on the question of the
annexation of Greensboro to Caledonia
county. Messrs. Pitkin & Huse appeared
for the town and the county of Orleans ap-
peared en- masse in its own behalf. Repre-
sentative Simpson and Messrs. Crane and
Calderwood testified as to the proprety of
the proposed cession and j. l.. Edwards,
w. ID. Crane and John Simpson expressed
contrary opinions in the interest of the
county. The petition for the cession con-
tanned two hundred twenty-sx names and
the remonstrance had over sixty. 1t was
shown that the town had had only two
cases in county court for over forty years,
50 their distance from the county buildings
was no great inconvenience. The railroad
fare to st. Johnsbury was ninety five cents
each way. The highway from Greensboro
to st. Johnsbury was very bad in the sum
iner and impossible in the winter. The
Witnesses for the town made point on
their distance from Newport and the easy
reaching distance to st. Johnsbury by rail.
Caledonia county evidently cares very little
about the matter, and takes no apparent in
terest in the result. If Greensboro comes,
all right if she don't, all right again.
