The report of the Maine Cattle Commits
sloncrs contains. among many fruitful
lessons, one Of special value to horsemen.
Eighteen horses were condemned and
killed during the year 1901, sixteen Of
which came from Massachusetts. Canada
or the West. and the probability is that
the two Maine bred became diseased by
the presence of the others. The cost to
the State was. for horses SliS0. and for
expenses in visiting, examining and de-
stroying probably $500 more, so the
State made IA contribution of $1,000, for
glandercd animals. from outside. whiie
the barns of Maine are filled with home
grown stock. THERE'S something sug-
gestive in this for those who have the
welfare of the State at heart. While en-
tering complaints againts heavy burdens
1t seems evident that something remains
to be done by the individual to put a stop
to these mportations by supplying the
call from our own stables.

Republican County Convention.

The republicans of Washington county
met in convention at Capital hall, at eleven
o'clock last week Wednesday morning
George w. Tilden of Barre, chairman OF
the county committee called the conven.
ton to order, and Rev. A. j. Hough OF
Montpelier was invited to offer prayer.
After the prayer, the secretary of the COM
mitteee-E. w. Huntley of Duxbury-pro-
ceeded to read the roll of delegates When
the reading OF the names of the Barre dele
CATION had been finished, a motion was
made and carried that the reading of the
remainder Of the roll be dispensed with.
IL. A, Huse. Esq, of Montpelier was then
introduced as the temporary chairman of
the convention. Mr.. Huse spoke at some
length on the issues of the campaign. He
had no sympathy with those who decry the
past. In this connection he quoted both
the republican and democratic platforms
of 1864. The former asserted that there
could be no terms with the South but un-
conditional surrender; the latter, that the
constitution had been violated, that the
war was failure, and that efforts should
be made for cessation of hostilities. The
issues of the present campaign are three in
number. On free silver the position of the
democratic party is shown by the votes of
the party in congress in favor of it. AS to
the force bill, in mixed assembly he had
asked what fault could be found with il,
and no democrat offered to find any. This
isn't the first time the republican party has
done something to enforce laws designed to
give freedom, said Mr.. Huse. Ga the tariff
issue the democrats had got back to their
unconstitutional ache. The men who
passed the tariff of 1889 didn't believe it
was unconstitutional. The first appearance
OF the cry about the unconstitutionality of
the tariff was in notification days. In con-
cluding, Mr.. Huse predicted that cam
paign of education would result in the cleo
tion of Harrison and Reid.
After several nominations for the office Of
temporary secretary, l., A, Flint of Middle
sex was induced TO accept, and the tenn
porary organization was made permanent.
On motion of Frank Plumley, Esq, of
Northheld IL was voted to appoint COM
mittee of five on resolutions, and on motion
OF Captain j. K. Eldredge OF Warren it was
voted that each delegation choose one MEM
Der of committee which should nominate
a county committee.
j. s. Batcheder of Waterbury moved
that the convention reaffirm the resolution
OF the last convention restricting the ser
vice OF senators to one term. Hon. William
Chaplin OF Middlesex offered resolution
providing that the resolution of the last
convention be rescinded. He remarked that
the republicans OF the county ought to be
ashamed OF that vote, George W. Wing,
Esq, OF Montpelier moved to substitute Mr..
Chapin's resolution for the motion Of Mr..
