Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1886-06-28
REPUBLICANS ASSEMBLED.

The republican county convention,
held at Irasburgh last "wednesday,
was a fairly harmonious gathering
and good feeling prevailed, for the
greater part, though there were
sharp rivalries and some exhibition of |
political malice-a very poor capital
to do business on. 1t turned out |
that Mr.. Foster had quite lead over |
Mr.. Rowell in both ends of the coun-
ty, and his nomination was an easy |
thing. For second senator there
were several names that had been
pushed more or less by friends, and
one or more that were used to head |
off somebody else; but the matter
was easily settled. Mr.. Prouty, hav-
ing declined to let his name be used
for the states attorneyship, Mr..
Alfred of Newport obtained the NOM
nation. He is a bright, studious
lawyer of good standing and will
doubtless give the county good adj
ministraton. The convention did a
becoming thing IN re-nominating
Judge j. G. Oliver. For the second
assistant Judge, G. P. Owen of
| Glover was nominated. He is q
younger man than the county is in
the habit of using in this position,
but he can powder his hair and as
sumo the dignity appropriate to the
office. Mr.. Miles, the present eff
cient sheriff, will be retained. The
somewhat lively contest over the
office of Judge of Probate, caused by
the suggestion of the name of w. |.
Robinson of Barton as can
didate, created considerable political
excitement. Considering the stand
ing of Judge Austin, and the difficult
ty of convincing the people that this
office should change hands, Mr..
Robinson made handsome canvass.
The resolutions of the state con-
vention were endorsed, and strong
Edmunds resolution added also one
relative to the Representatives to the
next county convention. The new
rule will considerably increase the
number of delegates and may be ben
eficial No anti-Edmunds feeling
was seen. We fail to see the need
of adopting any resolution regarding
Mr.. Edmunds; it seems unnecessary
and invidious. Senator Edmunds
, did one thing that many republican:
regretted he has done ten thousand
things that commend themselves tt
, the judgment of his party and hi
, country. and to put on paper the fac
that his course has been acceptable
! to his constituents is unnecessary.
1t ought to be mentioned that the
q convention found clean, well-kep
8 house, spacious and convenien
+ hall, and partook of good dinner a

o but water to drink, and Judge tina
