H. Prcqicu, Gentlemen Of Tic CoHrcn-
hoR:-I shall not attempt Ia find language
with which to return thanks to you for this
honor, nor shall abuse your patience with
remarks OF any length. Let me say, how
ever, that thank you, and through you the
people Of Vermont. | need not say, more
over, that the measure Of my service TO the
state will be the measure OF my ability. But
there is one point to which wish 10 call
your attention, and it is the one which has
been discussed more than any other during
this campaign, and which has, | believe,
contributed more than any other to my
election-that Of economy in state expenses.
The people demand it, and the republican
party will make mistake If it does not give
it, | tremble when think Of how much
you expect OF me and how unable am to
meet your highest expectations. But beg
OF you to return home and discuss this sub
ect during the heats Of summer, then in
September 60 to the polls and vote for nc
man who is not in earnest sympathy with
the material interests OF Vermont. Vote
only for men who are thoroughly honest
aud observation-disclosures to whom no one will
dare to come with job" (Applause.)
p. X, Kendall of Rutland next took the
floor to keep his promise to second the
nomination Of Mr.. Fletcher. He was inter
rupted by some stamping and cheering.
: A. Messer Of Rochester said that the
farmers of Windsor county want Hooker
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
! Captain Dick Smith Of Vershire said thai
. Hooker was a gallant soldier and mar
after his own heart.
o. NJ. Tinkham seconded the nomination
, of Fletcher. The farmers Of the state had
not received as much recognition as othe
8 classes
Joel Baker thought Hooker came pretty
near being farmer, through his connection
/ with agricultural societies.
