But surely there can be not impossible

FOR DELEGATES To MINNEAPO
LIS.
Interest in the selection of delegates to
the Republican National Convention has
been somewhat lessened this year, in
Vermont as in other States, by the with
drawal of Mr.. Blaine, and the great
probability that there will be no serious
contest in the convention over the nofni-
nation for President. 1t is, however,
now and always, important that Yer
mont should send delegation of strong
AMI good men to the convention for no
one knows what contingencies may not
arise; and the Republicans of Vermont
wish to be well represented. AS prefer
ences crystalize it seems to be apparent
that the suggestion of Hon. William p
Dillingham; for elegate-at-large is gen.
orally acceptable. That Hon. H. IL.
Powers would make an influential and
excellent delegate is also generally con-
ceded; and no exception is taken, so far
as we observe, to the suggestion of the
name of Major Childs of Franklin
county. General Mccullough seems to
be still the leading name from Benning-
ton county, though Major Valentine is
very often and favOrably mentioned. 1t
is probable that William r. Page of Rut.
land, will be presented by the Republi-
cans of Rutland county for one of the
district, delegates, and there could not
be a better choice. John w. Stewart s
friends are by no means confined to Addi-
son county, and it is conceded that the
delegation should comprise one or two
men who have had experience in former
conventions, the remark which is fire.
quently made that he and Gen. McCul-
Tough have been so well honored in this
way heretofore, that they should now
give way to new men, has less force.
His friends are not crOwding him on she
public attention, but if chosen he would
probably be willing to go to the conven-
ton. In this county, to the names here
fore often mentioned of Hon. w. L. Bur-
nap and Smith Wright has been added of
late, that of Hon. Robert Roberts, who
is leading young Republican and has a
host of friends in Chittenden county and
in the State at large. Grand Isle county
will ask for recognition by the selection
to which no exception can be taken, of
Hon. N. w. Fisk for district delegate.
On the east side of the State the names
of Hugh Henry of Chester, L. NJ. Read
of Bellows Falls, E. p. George of West
Fairlee and Josiah Grout of Derby, are
canvassed with much favor. From all
these good names it will be impossible
to make up delegation that will not
command respect and worthily represent
the Republican party of Vermont.-Free
Press.
Forbes, in the Boston Journal of the
2Sth, ult., has this to say on the sam9
subject: ''If the delegates who assemble
at Montpelier next month voice the sen-
timent of the Republicans of this State
they will most cordially and unquali-
fiedly endorse the President and his Adj
ministration. The staunch Republican
ism and high character Of the men who
are likely to be selected to represent the
State at Minneapolis render it unneces-
sary for the convention to instruct the
delegation, and hence it is probable that
the delegates chosen by both the State
and District Conventions will go unin-
Structed.
1.-THE State Convention will meet in
the Blanchard Opera house ON Wednes-
day morning, April 18th. 1t will con-
sist of 733 delegates, divided by counties

20; Orange, so; Orleans,5O Rutland, 93;
Washington, go; Windham, 90"
His speculations as to candidates are /:

in Republican circles for Delegates-at-
Large are Congressman II. Henry Pow
ers of LamOille county, Col. George T.
Childs of Franklin county and ex-Gov.
John w. Stewart of Addison county
from the First District side of the State,

Hon. Nelson w. Fiske of Grand Isle
county Other names considered are

1.-THE Republicans of the First District
are united in support of the renomina-
ton of their present able and distin-
guished Representative in Congress. Hon.
II. Henry Powers of Morrisville-and he
will be renominated for second term
without opposition. Judge Powers has
already made his mark in the lower
house as a clear-headed and strong de-
