Vermont RepubIicans.

MONTPELIER, Vt, June 27.-The Re-
publican state convention was called to
order this morning by John Hatchelder
of arlington, who made a brief speech.
He said: The issues of the campaign are
plainly defined, the protection of Ameri-
a industry being the chief one. His al
fusion to the stand of the Vermont dele
cation at Chicago elected great applause.
1t was not the first time Vermont had led
the forces of the Republican party to VIC
tory. We have not nominated Harrison
because he is a grandson of Tippecanoe,
but because he is worthy to be a grandson
of that noble man. Morton was lauded
and confidence expressed hat he will not
prove a Tyler too.
Hon. w. III. Dillingham; was hen nom
mated for governor. Urban Woodbury.
was nominated by reclamation for %lieuten-
ant governor, w. H. Dubois for state
treasurer, Chas. w. Porter for secretary
of state, and Hon. f. ii. Howett for
auditor.
The platform heartily endorsed that of
the Chicago convention as a clear and
forcible presentation of the principles of
the party and with Harrison and Morton
inscribed on the banner as the personifica-
ton OF high character and clear politics
and a sure guarantee that the pledges will
be kept; promises a majority in November
that shall carry hope and inspiration to
Republicans; extends hearty thanks
to the Chicago delegation from
Vermont. deprecates the issuance Of
railroad passes to state officers
and members of the legislature as demon
alizing, and demands that such practices
be prohibited by law; favors the embodi,
ment in the state laws of long and short
haul provisions of the interstate com
merce law. and calls upon voters to roll
up a majority of 80, 200 for the state
ticket.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and the convention adjourned.

DR.. Porter's Resolutio-s Cause a Sen
sation at Charleston.
CHARLESTON, $. c., May 3-The resolu-
tions of DR.. Toomer Porter in the diocesan
convention to-day created a sensation here.
DR.. Porter is the rector of st. Marks
church, Rev. Pollard (colored) being only
Che assistant rector An informal confer
ence was held to-day OF the vestrymen, and
it was unanimously agreed that St. Marks
would not consent to the proposition en-
bodied in DR.. Porter's resolution. 1t APP
pears that DR.. Porter was present at the
meeting of the vestrymen of st. Marks
when the resolutions heretofore published
declaring that the church would insist upon
representation in the convention were
adopted. and, in fact, presided over
tho meeting. DIR. Porter's colored
parishioners seem to be entirely at sea.
but they are unanimous in the declaration
that they will not consent to any such ar
rangemsnt as at proposed by DR.. Porter's
resolutions. At this juncture it looks very
much like a cclored secession. If DIR. Por-
ter's resolutions are adopted ST. Marks will
probably go over to the Roman Church or
the Reformed Episcopal Church, or perhaps
will start n church on its own account.

A STRANGE OHIO BEAST.
The Cat Destroyer of Sciotoville Pay
ing a Visit to Portsmouth.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer,

From tie Cincinnati Enquirer.
PORTSMOUTH, O., April 29.-The strange
animal which for some time past has proved
n menace to the belated traveller, promena-
ders, and cats up at Sclotoville, has evi-
denty either exhausted the feline creation
up there or concluded that food from an
other source would prove more rellshable,
for he has ruthlessly invaded the precincts
Of Portsmouth and commenced war of
determination upon the city felines. The
strange creature was seen by DR.. James Z.
Bing, gentleman Of great veracity, on the
back porch OF his residence, and the Doctor
relates a thrilling experience with his
strange visitor.
The doctor was awakened about 2:3O
O'Clock at night by his wife, who protested
that something was wrong about the
premises, she having reached that conclu-
sion by the furious barking of a dog in the
yard between the porch and the alleyway.
The doctor arose and, parting the curtains
of the window, was astonished to see a
strange wild animal occupying the porch
not four feet from him. The dog had tho
animal at bay, and, while q seemed afraid
to attack, 1t was evident that the other ami
mai hau no desire to force the fight. Tie
electric light shone dmly through the yard,
but still II was strong enouyhfor the doctor
to get good look at his unknown visitor.
1t was of a dark brown color, and of a
strange species without doubt The face
was small and the nose pointed, somewhat
like tho mead of fox. IL was too large for
a catamount and too small for a panther
and unlike either in color. When it ruised
itself to Il sitting posture, with nose erect, it
seemed TO b. about three and a half feet
high. The doctor, on turning on the light
in the room so it shOne full upon the animal
and dog, unfortunately caused the latter to
withdraw, when the strange animal quickly
disappeared in the direction of the hills to
the east of the city. There is no doubt but
that this is the identical beast that has been
terrorizing the people OF Sciotoville
