The Republican state, district and coun.

didates TO be supported by the party at the
coming September election have now been
held, and it remains for the Republican

give the nominees their votes on election

representatives in Congress and for other
state and county offices have been indorsed
by the unanimous voice of the delegates in
the conventions which have been holden,

The Democratic leaders in Vermont are
quietly but aggressively at work TO reduce
the usual Republican majority this state.

and increase their own thereby enabling
them, if successful, to claim victory on
the face Of the returns.

900 members Of the 100 league aud cam

county tickets.
Every one of the 4s, 600 electors who
voted for Wm. 2. Dillingham; for governor
in 1883 should cast his ballot for Carroll
s. Page for the same office. It. should be

achieved by the dominant party at the Sep
tember election in Vermont, when Dilling
ham received "a majority Of 21,GlS, was in
great measure due to the efforts Of Mr.
Page, seconded by the Republican league
