Our democratic friends in Barton
did not attend the democratic con-
vention at Newport, Thursday, and
we were hearing st. John, hence
got no very full account of the pro-
ceedings. We understand that the
convention was not large, but the
enthusiasm made up for deficiency
in numbers. John Currier presided ;
speeches were made by A M. Dick
ey of Bradford, and Prof. Jay Sea-
vey of Connecticut. The resolutions
did not eulogize the republicans.
The ticket put in nomination, is a
very good one and will command the
full vote of the party. The follow
ing are the nominees: Senators, r.
M. Lyon, Craftsbury, Chandler Bal
ley, Troy; Asst Judges, Geo. H.
Tice, Holland, -; States
Attorney, E. A. Cook, Glover; Judge
of Probate, Sumner Pinney, Green's
boro; sheriff, Albert Norcross, AL
bany; bailiff, H G. Pierce, Barton.
