Sawyer and supported by G. w. Hen
dee and J.W. Page ,Jr., and nominated
without opposition. The ticket was
completed by the nomination of L. IL.
Lewis, Of Hyde Park, for High Bailiff.
The county committe was then cleo
ted, consisting of G. S. Page, of
Hyde Park, J. W. Page, Jr., of Cam
bridge, and G.. H. Stearns, of John
son, after which the committee on res
olutions submitted the following re-
port, which was unanimously adop-
ted =
ResolUed, THAT this convention fully endorses
the principles of the Republican party as set
forth by the Republican National Convention at
Chicago and by the State Convention at Mont
peller. That we believe in q free ballot and fair
count over the whole country; in protection for
home products, agricultural and manufactured
from foreign competition; also in the protection
of our homes from the evil influences of the
loon and every form of intemperance. That we
fully endorse the national ticket, Harrison and
Morton, as worthy of the support of every Re-
publican, every Independent voter and every la
boring man who believes in American wages
ana American homes as contrasted with those OF
foreign countries. That we endorse the State
ticket nominated at Montpelier as worthy of the
support of every Vermonter. Thatw commend
the ticket this day nominated worthy of the
to it our united support at the polls.
Colonel Sawyer was then called
upon by the chairman. The audience
seconded the call by hearty applause
and the Colonel took the platform.
Among the good things said he an
nounced that although in the past he
had strayed from the Republican fold
and trained under the banner Of the
Greenbacker, the present position of
the Republican party uron the tariff
question and his detestation of Dem
ocratic principles and practices had
recalled him to his former allegiance,
and that he should support Harrison
and Morton during the ensuing cam
paign. The Colonies remarks were
received with much favor.
Hon. W. P. Dillingham;, the nominee
for Governor, then addressed the con-
vention in powerful speech upon the
issues of the day. After demonstrating
by an exhaustive analysis the position
of the Democratic party in the past as
illustrated by its platform, by the at
titude of its representatives in Con-
gress and the position taken by the
present administration, as we'll as by
the large line Of free traders and
free trade papers, both in this coun-
try and England, that the Democratic
party was irrevocably committed to
the principles of free trade. Mr..
Dillingham; proceeded with straight
forward arguments and plain illustra-
lions to show why the American poll
cy of protection was the only policy
fitted to foster the industries and
to the prosperity of the
American public and also by illustra-
tons showing the actual workings Of
the tariff system; refuting the free
trade argument that a protective tar
if enhanced the cost Of articles to |
by the amount of the duty.
The tumultuous applause which greet
ed the speaker throughout his address
gave abundant evidence that there
was no room for free traders or free
trade ideas among the sons Of La
noille.
