Washington county committee recon-
mended through Mr.. Senter, that Mr..
Boynton be nominated for chairman, and
he was put in nomination by Elisha May of
St. Johnsbury, and elected. After quite
hunt Mr.. Boynton was found, and he made
| speech No other business was transacted
except the passing of the following resolu-
| ton: Whereas, since our last meeting
Almighty God, in his wisdom, has seen fit to
remove from our numbers our late chair
man, Hon Hiram Atkins, resolved that,
while we bow in humble submission to the
will of divine Providence, we nevertheless
mourn the loss of man endeared to us not
only by his warm heart pure mind, and
/ great ability, but also by his steadfast ad-
| herence to the principles of democracy"
| Mr.. Atkins successor as chairman is a ca
| pable engineer for the democratic machine
in the state. Mr.. Boynton was born in
Westford about thirty-five years ago, was
admitted 10 the bar in 1881, and practiced

! inspector in charge for New England. He
came to Montpelier about two years ago,
and formed partnership with w. A. Lord.
