The nomination of Gen. Grout by
the recent District Convention is
gratifying to large number of per-
sonal friends all through the district
and state, and thing thought most
fit by almost every man in the state.
Gen. Grout has fairly won for him
self the esteem and respect of his
constituents, and his nomination by
reclamation was but the sentiment
of the people voiced by the conven-
ton. During the last session he has
been able to devote every day and
hour to the arduous work devolving
on him, and has added to the honor
he won in congress when sent from
the old third district. In this, as in
many other positions Of trust and
responsibility, he has been able 10
exceed the expectations of his friends
and to disappoint his rivals. We are
glad of his good luck in the conven-
ton, both on account of personal
friendship, and for the good of the
state. If his health and life are
spared he will be able in the next
three years to do great deal of use
full work for his constituents and the
country, and we expect it will be
credltable to himself and to the Sec
ond district of the little state of Yer
mont.

NOMINATION OF GEN.
CIRCUIT.

The republicans of the second dis
trict met in convention at Montpelier,
Wednesday. and renomlnated by ac-
clamation and unanimous vote
Gen. VIM. W. Grout of Barton as
their candidate for member of con-
gress. There were 265 delegates
out of an apportionment of 346, and
among the delegates in attendance
were many leading republicans. The
utmost harmony prevailed, and the
convention completed its work in
less than one hours time. Hon. W.
I'll. Dubois of Randolph called the
convention to order, and Hon. Hugh
Henry of Chester presided over its
deliberations. The secretaries of
the convention were E. W. Smith of

Henry made felicitous speech, re-
viewing the history of the republican
party and contrasting the promises
and pledges made by the democratic
party before the last presidential
election with their acts and course
since they came into power, showing
that they had failed to redeem their
reform pledge or live up to the great
moral principles which they so boldly
proclaimed in their party platforms
in 1884. General Grout was placed
in nomination by Editor Camp of
the Newport EGpress, who presented
the present incumbent as person
eminently fitted to represent the dis
trict in congress and one deserving
Of the suffrages of the people. Mr..
Camp fittingly alluded to Gen.
CIRCUITS distinguished services in
congress and especially commended
his effective advocacy of the inter
ests of the dairymen of Vermont in
supporting the house anti-oleomar-
garine bill. The nomination was
seconded by D. L. Gushing of Hart
ford, H. A. Huse of Montpelier.
John HI. Watson of Bradford, Chas.
Wilson of Danville, and others.
Gen. Grout was then nominated by
reclamation. On motion of Frank
Plumley of Mortified, the state con-
vention platform was adopted. The
district committee was constituted
as follows: VIM. III. Dubois, Orange
county; Henry G. Bates, Caledonia
county; Charles w. King, Essex
county; A. Dawson, Orleans county
D. L. Cushing, Windsor county; E.
W. Stoddard. Windham county.
