Of all the nominating speeches
made at the State Convention Wednes
day, the 22d ult, at Burlington, it is
very generally conceded that the speech
of ex-Lieut. Gov. George n. Dale of
Island Pond, nominating Franklin ID.
Hale of Lunenburgh for auditor of &C.
counts, was the best. His command
ing appearance, deep, rich voice and
manly plea for Mr.. Hale and Cor Essex
county captured town after town,
which fact in connection with Mr..
Hates fitness for the position, gave
him a round majority. Gov. Dale also
nominated Gen. Grout in the Congress
sional Convention for member of Con-
gress. Gov. Dale comes about as near
being gentleman of the old school as
they make them.

THAT CROW.
The st. Johnsbury Republican took
its dish of crow manfully and acknowl-
edged Levi *. Fuller the nominee of
the convention, as its long lost brother.
Now then, had the St Johnsbury Re-
publican like the OPINION, kept its
pages clean during the recent guber
material campaign it would not now be |
Teasing itself on the unsavory crow. |
This kind of politics that finds it nee. |
essary, or even desirable, for an editor
or corpol alton that owns or opel ates
newspaper, to make its pages the We
hlcle for conve! ing to its readers heaps |
of approbrium, bales of bilingsgate |
and cords of calumny agains. the other
candidate, is not politics in the true
sense of the word, but rather peevish |
flow of spleen, which always comes
back boomerang fashion TO the sender
and Is called crow. A man going
about gathering thorns and thistles,
making Herewith a bed on which to
lie, would be a third grade idiot. The
Rutland Herald and st. Johnsbury
Republican and other papers, claiming
to be leading journals and progressive |
educators in this commonwealth of /
ours have harvested bountiful crop of |
thOrns and thistles and boomeranged |
them at Col. Fuller, and are now at
the crow banquet. The St. Johnsbury
Daily Republican of June %, being
the first issue after Col. Fuller's nomi-
nation, contained the following:
elf there is any dish of which we are es-
pecially fond il is crow. The State cOnven
ton gave US a good helping of it, and we
are eating il like little men, with hearty en-
iOyment. We trust that the Rutland Her
aid will join us in the banquet with equal
heartiness and relish. May good digestion
wait on appetite, and health on b0th.'
"Up to Wednesday we had not been able
TO develop any particular enthusiasm for
Col. Fuller. Indeed, we may frankly say
that we had regarded him rather cOldly
than otherwise. But On Wednesday, we
saw the strawberry mark which plainly
Identities him as our lOng-lost brother and
all was forgiven. Fuller and Victory is
hencefOTth our motto"
