THE REPUBLICANS OF VERMONT

Put Up A Strong Edmunds Man Fol
 Governor On A Stirring Platform. MONTPELIER, June 16.-The Republican State convention was called to order at 1O:35 this forenoon with 629 delegates present
 Frank Plumly, of Northfeld, was appointed l chairman and A. K. Brown of Sheldon sec
 retary. A resolution calling on the legisla- ture to provide for State railroad commis-
 sion, another favoring Gladstone's home
 rule plans, and an anti-oleomargarine reso-
 lution were referred to committees. The
 convention then proceeded to ballot for can
 didates. E. J. Ormesby, 8 strong Ed
 munds man, was nominated for governor on
 the first ballot, having $40 votes to 195 for
 Batchelder, 43 for Poland, 13 for Veasey and 12 scattering. A recess was then taken.
 On the reassembling of the convention this
 evening State committee was appointed.
 After long and tiresome list of eulogistic 1 speeches in behalf of Franklin Fairbanks and Levi c. Fuller for lieutenant governor 8 ] ballot was taken resulting in the nomination ! of Fuller, he receiving 425 votes to 145 for l Fairbanks. The nomination was made
 unanimous. There being no further con- l tests Charles w. Porter of Montpelier, W. 1 H. Dubois of West Randolph and E. Henry 1 Powell of Richfeld, the present secretary, ! treasurer and auditor were renominated by | exclamation. The platform is as follows: Resolved, That the Republicans of Yer ! mont maintain their firm adherence to the | principles of the party which in the nation 1 at large embodies the best workmanship, the | highest patriotism, the soundest conserva- 1 tism and the t1uest progress of the American T.. s.al. %x>4 I,,c Cka&o f1,, thirty years an unbroken succession of State governments of unsurpassed purity, eficien- cy and success.
 Resolved, That the Democratic party dur l ing it's present control of the government has 1 given to the country none of the reforms end improvements promised by 1t; has shown itself short of leaders competent to grapple with the living issues of our day and has all ready demonstrated to unprejudieed observ- CTS that the change of party control was for the worse and not for the better.
 Resolved, That the Morrison tariff bill re- ported by the Democratic Committee on Ways and Means and supported by the large majority of the Democratic members of Congress, the extravagant appropriations made by the Democratic House and the rider practically annulling the civil service rules attached by Democratic committee to an important appropriation bill show that the Democratic party is still as of old opposed to the protection of American industries, opposed to practical economy and entrench- ment of national expenses, opposed to civil service reform and unfit to be trusted with the government of the nation.
 Resolved, That whatever may be the case elsewhere, the course of the national admin istration in reference to the disposal of fed eral offices in this city in committing the ap pointments to party bosses, in superseding faithful officers not justly chargeable with offensive partisanship by active and offensive ,,R, and respected officers to make places for saloonkeepers, pothouse politicians and Dem ocratic strikers has been the most absolute burlesque of civil service reform and deserves the condemnation of all who desire clean, efficient and trustworthy public service.
 Resolved, That we commend to Republi- cans everywhere the policy of dropping past dssensions, of welcoming all who will re- turn to party allegiance and work with us to secure pure politics and good government, and of closing up the ranks in preparation for the national contest and thus presenting a firm and united front without which it will be impossible to restore the government to Republican control.
 Resolved, That we deplo1e the evils of in- temperance and we reaffrm the position of the Republican party in this State upon that question and declare that in our opinion the prohibition of the liquor traffic as expressed Tn our statutes should remain the settled policy of the State; that as the infu ence of the liquor saloon is as debasing in politics as it is sbane- full in social life, the Republican party should everywhere reject all overtures for open or secret alliances with it and that the State committee this day appointed be instructed to select delegates to represent this State in the coming national anti-saloon conference which has been called to meet in Chicago.
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this con- hat ba Y1rh passage of laws establishing State and na- tiunal railroad commission.
 Resolved, That the Republicans of Yer mont recognize the movement led by Glad stone and Parnell for the amelioration of the condition of Ireland as worthy of the sympa- thy and endorsement of the civilized world.
 Resolved, That we respectfully and earn estly request that our representatives in Con gress to use all legitimate means to secure the passage of the bill to regulate the manu facture and sale of oleomargarine and to protect the people against spurious and fraudulent compounds sold under the name of butter.
 Resolved, That we commend the candi- dates this day nominated to the cordial and united support of the Republicans of Yer mont at the polls.
 The State committee was organized by the election of Charles H. Page of Hyde Park as chairman and F. w. Barton secretary. The nomination of Fuller over Fairbanks for
 lieutenant governor is said to be due to 8 compromise between the supporters of Orms- bee for governor and those delegates who opposed the adoption of resolution en dors- ing Senator Edmunds. At any rate no reso lution was introduced and Ormsbee and Full Ter both very unexpectedly secured a majority on the first ballots. n
 Mr. Ormsbee, the candidate for governor, was born at Shareham, Vt. June s, 1854. He received an academic education, read law s--l l1 cC D. A1,D1o 0f RroV, don, and was admitted to the bar of Rutland county in 1861 and located in Brandon In the war he was lieutenant of Company G, Eighteenth regiment, and captain of Compa- ny G, Twelfth regiment, Vermont volun- teers. He represented Brandon in the .egis- lature of 1879 and was Senator from Rutland county in 1878. He was assistant collector of internal revenue from 1876 to 1879. In 1884 he was member of the Republican State committee and trustee of the Vermont Reform school. His religious preference is Episcopal. In 1884 in the Republican con vention he defeated J. R. Batchelder in the nomination for lieutenant governor and was elected to the position he now holds.
 Needy Men Who Should Have Work.
 MAYsvILLE, Ky, June l6-There IS 1n- dignation here over the action of Mir. Hunt ington of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. When Huntington was given the right of way for the Big Sandy road through Mason coun- ty it was understood that he should employ the idle men of Maysville in the construc tion Instead of doing 90 he contracted with the State for convict labor and this morning one hundred convicts arrived from Frankfort and began work: Thirteen hundred more are expected within few days. There are hundreds of needy men in the city who were kept employed on the streets at great expense merely to enable them to obtain means of livelihood and the action of Huntington is creating very ugly public feeling.
