CONGRESSMAN DoLLIvER SPEAKS.
This completed the business Of the con-
vention, and Chairman Mccullough then
introduced Congressman Jonathan Z. Dolli-
yer Of Iowa. He referred to Vermont and
Iowa as being sister republican States. He
came here to get out OF the atmosphere OF
the 52d Congress, knowing that there could
be no more marked change than to step
from the democratic House at Washingto
into republican Vermont. He paid
tributes to Senators Morrill, Edmunds
and Proctor, and Representatives Grout,
Stewart and Powers, and said that
republicans in Congress like not only the
men of Vermont, but the State itself. We
shall win or lose the presidential campaign
on the record of Ben jamln Harrison. With
this as the basis of the campaign, the speaker
did not fear the result. Congressman Dolli-
yer referred to national issues and scored
the democratic party, saying that 1t seemed
to have no available assets. In closing he
said: 'Whatever may be individual opinion
on the ticket nominated here to-day it
should be heartily supported by all. Let
us make this year memorable as the one in
which the democratic demagogues receive
their death blow"
Congressman Dolliver made an excellent
} impression and his sarcastic illusions to the
democracy, mention OF which cannot be
made in an abstract, were heartily appre-
ciated
At the conclusion of Mr.. Delivers speech
A. j. Markham of Bratteboro, the well
known campaign singer, gave a selection
, introducing the national ticket, Harrison
and Morton" and the State ticket, Fuller
and Stranahan." Three cheers were given
for Congressman Doliver aud Chairman
Mccullough led in three cheers and tiger
for Harrison and Reid and Fuller and
Stranahan. The convention adjourned sine
die at 4:30 O'clock

UNITED STATES SENATE,

My Dear Sir-I think it fortunate tina
Mr.. Dolhver consented to attend the con
J., vention. He is excellent specimen of tn
. best kind of republicans that the great Yves
q produces. | do not mean to intimate tina
q ali republicans East or West are not good
OF course they are. But some are bette
than others, and he is one of the best. 1t i
# sufficient to say of him that be was SEM t.
IS Congress four years ago. when only 30 year
o. old, and has already made "A national repu
:, tation. He Is u good representative of thos
d who came upon the stage too late to receiv
10 Inspiration for their political life from tn
great war issues, yet who can clearl
nj that the republican party is the party O

Our State election in presidential yea
is IA peculiar one. Though we vote for Stat
and local officers only the real issue is
l. national one; we practically vote for pres

-" That Harrison and Reid will have a larg

vance, but whether the vote of the State i
sc September shall be such as to express IN

this; we ought not only, by closer LOCI

o. The administration of President Harriso

preston OF the judgment of Il
81 people upon it. Let it stand in con
parison with the four years of dem
cratic rule which preceded. There can
n no doubt what the verdict of Vermont upe
sc sc the two will be. Both regards admin

hearty approval. The canvass of 1883 W

lg yet you know, and every member Of d
Dr. convention knows, that it is possible to ,
