Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1888-08-06

to be about as follows: Mr.. Rand
of Troy, whose friends were pushing
him somewhat few weeks since, is
out of the canvass, and his friends will
support C. p. Stevens of Troy. The
towns constituting the valley will
also, it is reported, support Mr..
Stevens, while he will have a footing
in the west and southwest portions
of the county, with some scattering
votes here and there elsewhere.
He is q man whose townsmen and
acquaintance endorse as an hon.
orable, intelligent, business man.
Mr.. Camp of Newport, is prom
inent candidate also, and will have
large support. The towns In the
northeastern portion of the county,
and several others will be practically
unanimous for him, while the CEN
trail and southern sections will be
divided between him and Mr.. Stew
ems. Newport will be holly contest
ed in the primary meeting with, per-
haps the chances against Mr.. Camp.
The result in his own town will have
considerable to do with his chances.
1t is generally conceded that he
would made a good senator. His
experience in the legislature and
his acquaintance with men and meas
ures would help his usefulness and
his influence. He would be on the
right side on all moral questions.
1t is rumored that the Newport
delegates, if they are not chosen in
Mr.. Camps interest, will propose the
name of DIR. G.. L. Erwin OF G.. A.
Prouty.
In the south end of the county
there has been little work done by
one or two aspirants, but the most
that has been talked is that the honor
ought to fall into one Of two or three
towns-Craftsbury, Greensboro or
Albany. Mr.. Dawson of Crafts
bury, who is amply qualified, does
not aspire to the office, and we hear
of no candidate in that town. The
Greensboro matter is complicated
with the desire to change allegiance
to Caledonia county. 1t is hoped that
the inconvenience, somewhat reduced
by holding the probate courts at Bar
ton and by the long mileage rates paid
jurymen, ETC.. for court attendance
at Newport, will make the people con-
tented to dwell peacefully in the old
county. There are those in the coun-
ty who have a kindly feeling toward
John Simpson of that town, not only
on account of his staunch republican
ism, but for his devotion to the coun-
ty. If his Greensboro and Crafts
bury neighbors should appear in con-
vention for him he would receive con-
siderable support. Other men could |
be selected from Greensboro who
would well represent the county in
the senate. The people in Albany,
we understand, will present their
claims, both or account Of being able
to furnish some good timber, and
from the fact that they have not for
many years had senator. There are
three or four men in the town who
have been mentioned, and if the town
comes up solid for one Of them his
chances will be good. 1t seems to be
believed that the town will present
the name of J. E. Chamberlin. If
SO he will make a good candidate.
He has been in the legislature, is
bright and would be able to make a
good speech or argument if necessary.
There has been a desire expressed
that Judge Oliver be returned another
term as side Judge, but this may not
be done. We have heard no other
name except that of S. r. Davis, of
Troy, mentioned for the place. 1t
looks as though the convention might
be harmonious and worthy set of
candidates selected. Come to the
