have imagined that he was attending some
Ctopian gathering so harmOniously. quick
ly, and with such an air of business pre-
cision was everything performed. The
meeting was called to order by George b.
Hit of the town committee. who read the
call. Hon. j. l.. Martin was chosen chair
man and l.. w. Hawley clerk The first
business was to elect II delegates and II
alternates to the state convention to be
held at Burlington the 22d. Hon. E. L.
Waterman stated that it was generally
known that the name of one of our fellow
citizens had been favorably mentioned for
the governorship nomination, and that so
far as known there was no opposition to
him at home: indeed the sentiment was
favorable to Col Fuller. This being the
case, Mr.. Waterman presented the follow
ing list of delegates and alternates.

lastlc support at home. His remarks were
warmly applauded. as were those of Col.

ing that it was a credit to our town to have

for the honorable Office, it would be of
more credit to have Col. Fuller nominated,
and if nominated we would have a live
governor at home, as we now have an ex-
governor The resolution was unanimous
