Colonel Woodbury. then introduced hon.
n. L. Chittenden by saying that II was
good for us to hear from Hlen who have had
oxporicnce. Fortunately Tiers were present
on the platform men who had voted every
republican ticket since the purity was organ
izeG, and the young men especially should
listen TO their words. hlr. Chittenden began
by saving that he had como to Vermont TO
rost, but had been speaking about every
tvs nights since he came, and was always
ready co speak for Vermont as long as he
had voice TO speak with. This State had
the Incst patriotic history Of any 10 the
Union, from tho time when she was fight
ing New York, New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets and Canada at once, to the time when
che sacrificed 5000 lives for the preserva-
ton Of the Union, and to the preCent. The
speaker then recounted the beginning Of the
free soil PARTY in Vermont, from which the
republican party grew.
Then, In regard to the present campaign,
he said the republicans were saying that the
state would 20 republican anyway and
there was no need OF hard work, but this
was the first but enc of the State elections
before the natioaal contest, and the NOR
ell influence of the republican returns
upon the result in other States would be far
..reatsr than Nerspcnters realized; that it
would even make difference OF several
thousand voters in Michigan. If there was
u decrease in Nerr2onus republican MAORI
ty there was not u copperhead but would
rejoice After showing the futility OF the
quondam howl against tho Mckinley tariff
bill, the speaker turned to the labor ques
lie endorsed all labor organizations when
properly conducted, believing that they
were necessary for defense o. the rights OF
the workingner. The republican party
did not promise higher wages, but it did
promise to maintain the present standard Of
wages by protection. lie then showed how

On the subject of pensions, Mr.. Chit
tendon said that while there were
without doubt Cages of pensions being given
10 the unworthy, 1t were better so than that
pue single needy soldier or sailor should
want. But Grover Cleveland had in his
time vetoed $40 pension bills which had
been investigated and approved By commit
tee, this being larger number of pension
votoes by twice than all ths other presidents
had made.
lie closed with reiteration Of Mr.. Wood.

PUT IL New y orli Legislature at the next
election, and urged the voters Of Vermont
not to disappoint him in the next State cleo
