RETURNED ITO VERMONT.


Congressman H. H. Powers, Hon y. W.
Fisk Of Isle La Motto and Col. c. $.
Forbes Of st. Adams passed through the
city Friday on their way home from tue
Republican League Convention at Cinciu
natl while Gilbert \. Davis
Of Windsor, Col, William B. Wright of
Orwell and Mr.. l. S. Hayes of Bellows
Falls, returned via the Baltimore and Ohio
aud the Pougnkeepse bridge route.
II seems that the Associated Press report
failed TO mention the fact that Congress
man Powers was invited TO make the speech
presenting the name Of Gen. John S. Clark
son for the presidency OF the national or
gani2ation. He accepted the invitation and
other members OF the Vermont deleSa-
ton say that his speech in this connection
was as good if not better than that
which he made in response TO the ad
dresses Of welcome He was Of
the most conspicuous figures on
the floor Of the convention, and
his oratory in point of popularity
ranked with that of the leading speakers Of
the convention. The Vermont delegation
elected Hon. Gilbert A. Davis of Windsor
national vice president for this State, and
Judge Hamilton $. Peck OF Burlington
member Of the national executive commit
tee for this State.
The delegates were presented brilliant
souvenirs in the form Of new tin plates made
of American tin by American workmen,
which we're forwarded to President Thurs
ton for di,tributiop by a st. Louis manu-
facturer Col. c. :, Forbes kindly rcmem-
bered the FREE Press with one of these
souvenirs.
The Vermont delegates regard the cleo
tion OF General Clarkson as president OF the
national league to be most fortunate one
for the interests Of the republican party.
He Is one OF the best political organizers in
the United States, and under his direction
the league organization is destined to he
come more potent factor in future cam
paigns than ever before
