whose charities are extensive, anC
whose principles are sound on NOR
ais and temperance. Mr.. Stevens
has had term in the House, and is {
man familiar with. business and vel
informed in political affairs.
| John Z. Chamberlin, the success
/ full nominee from the south end, is
from Albany, a town, it is claimed.
which never sent a senator to the
legislature. Mr.. Chamberlin is 9
good, clean man in every sense. He
will serve his county conscientiously
and creditably.
The contest in regard to the office
of Probate Judge was not bitter. MI.
Robinson was aware that Judge
Austin was we'll intrenched in the es-
TEEN of the county, and that his bus
mess relations in connection with the
office, and other alliances of friend
ship made it difficult matter to win ;
but he hoped, in case of success, to
so conduct the affairs of the office as
to meet the appreciation of the peo-
pie of the county.
Mr.. Alfred, states attorney, Mr..
Miles, sheriff, and Judge Owen had
no cause to complain of the spirit
shown toward them, and we can only
hope that the same faithfulness and
efficiency which have been shown by
them heretofore may be shown here
after. Judge Oliver retires, by order
of rotation, and Mr.. Davis of Troy,
man considered amply qualified for
the position, will take his place.
The convention adjourned in the best
of feeling.
THE RALLY.
The rally in the afternoon was at
tended by from two to three thous-
and people, including large number
of the veteran voters of 1910, most
of the prominent men of the county,
and very large number of the vot-
ers, both republicans and democrats.
Four bands, viz: Barton, Crafts
bury, Glover and Irasburgh were on
the ground, and there was no lack Of
good and patriotic music. Hon. VIM.
P. Dillingham;, Hon. Frank Plumley,
A. J. Markham, the noted campaign
singer, and Mr.. Ballou of Rhode Is
land were present to speak and to
sing of things political. The speak
ing was from a veranda, but the
speakers were heard by all present.
Markham put the convention in the
best of humor by his songs. Mr..
Dillingham;, hoarse from repeated eff
forts, spoke in his clear, convincing
and pleasing style, and his speech
was full of good sense, candid argu-
ments and sound logic. He spoke
excellently, and his presence and his
remarks were such as to inspire a
feeling within all, that the candidate
on the republican side is worthy of
the unanimous support of the voters
of Vermont.
Mr.. Plumley's effort was worthy
any son of Vermont. He dwelt more
largely on figures of rhetoric and pic
lures than Mr.. Dillingham;, but his
points were we'll made and his argu-
ments very difficult to controvert.
There were many moistened eyes as
he painted the picture of the poor la
borer of the Old World, as he babe
adieu to his native land to find a new
home across the Atlantic, and there
were many among the audience who
knew from experience that his paint
ing of the new home among the hills
and valleys of Vermont was truthful.
His arguments were good and his
address was most heartily enjoyed.
Mr.. Ballou, called out last, spoke to
a disadvantage, but his remarks were
timely, and well received.
Among the things which called out
applause was the statement that one
of the veterans of 1910, Sam'l Ell
Howard, Esq, of Irasburgh, was
present, having on the same pair of
boots he wore on the day he voted
for "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too. "
This was practical illustration OF
what :.protection' would do. The
rally will give a fresh impetus to the
already lively campaign in this local
ity.
