IChlCagO convention, GON- \lO Dc bH-
lingham, Ex-Gov. Stewart and others,
were listened to with careful attention ;
even a shower making no perceptible
impression upon the standing null
titude. All in all, it was a day long
to be remembered in the history of
Vermont Republicanism.
LamoiIIe County Republican Con-
yention.
The county convention at Hyde
Park on Wednesday of last week was
one of the largest and most enthusiast
tic held in this county for many years,
and for harmony and good feeling we
may safely say was all that could be
desired. Every town was represent
ed by full delegation and the re-
naming space in the hall was we'll
filled with spectators, and the close
attention accorded to the speakers
and the tumultuous applause which
greeted the names of the Republican
Presidential ticket; the points scored
against the Democracy, which, by the
way, were unlike angels visits, in
that they were neither few nor far be-
tween, gave abundant evidence that
the Republicans of LamoiIle county
are aliYe to the coming contest and
will do their part this fall toward roll
ing up an overwhelming majority for
Harrison and protection.
The convention was called to order
at IL a. m. by Hon. G. s. Page,
Chairman of the County Committee,
who, in accordance with the usual
custom, after a few preliminary re-
marks, presented to the convention as
the committees choice for temporary
Chairman, the name of w. H. Par
ker, ESQ.,, of Cambridge, their choice
being confirmed by the convention.
Mr.. Parker was conducted to the plat
form amid great applause and adj
dressed the convention at some length
reviewing the history of the two great
parties in the past; comparing the
condition of affairs in 1860, when the
Republicans assumed control, with
the state of the country when they
surrendered the reins of government
to the Democracy, and the progress
| CD made under the present admins
tration, comparison in which, it is
needless to say, the Democracy sui
fered.
The temporary organization was
then completed by the election of o.

and decorated him with Harrison
and Tyler badge of the campaign of
