be likely to do, but there is no dispo-
sition to change the one term custom.
! So far as we are able to get tie drift
i of sentiment in the north end of the
! county it is toward DR.. @. L. Erwin
of Newport Center. Nearly all of the
towns in the Missisquoi valley and in
the north part of the county are fav-
orably inclined toward him, and he is
we'll qualified for the position. He
has had experience in the House and
made very careful and efficient leg
islator; he is a man familiar with
business affairs, and is sound on all
moral questions. The people Of
Charleston have two very good
men whom they would like to present
to the consideration of the county, DR..
G. S. Hinman and j. B. Holton. They
are both worthy of the honor and the
place; they are clean, Intelligent
men and have both been in the legis-
lature. The sad bereavement in the
loss of son might disincline DR.. Hin
man to have his name used at all in
this convention. The withdrawal Of
Senator Dawson from the field has
left the matter of senator in the
south end Of the county quite in the
air. The man, probably, who has
been most thought of as a candi-
date is w. w. Miles Of Barton. Mr..
Miles is a man who makes no per-
sonal effort to acquire an office, and
his name is used here without his
knowledge Or permission. He is we'll
known Throughout the county as
honorable, vel-headed, capable
man, and he would make a very
worthy senator. Greensboro, per-
haps, is entitled to senator if the
Office should be passed to different
towns in rotation, not having had a
senator for about twenty years. If
this town should present Mr.. Jack
son, Mr.. Randall, or any other good
man, his name would meet with fav-
or. Judge Owen of Glover has been
mentioned for the place, and if he
can fill a senatorial chair as well as
he did a side chair on the bench he
would do the county credit. While
scanning the field it will be we'll to
drop an eye on E. G. RoweH and M.
B. Chafey of Albany, who are liable
to appear in the senatorial field ere
long. Dropping over into the valley
it will be we'll to consider the merits
of w. E. Curtis of Lowell. Mr.. Cur
tbs is an honorable gentleman, who
has the esteem of his townsmen and
a very creditable record in the legis
lature. Some members of the 0legis-
lature of 1892, who saw the efficiency
and influence of II. K. Dewey of Bar
ton in the House, are asking, 'what is
the matter with MI. .Dewey?" Nothing
is the matter with Mr.. Dewey. "He's |
all right" Out of the above list it
ought to be easy to satisfy.
For Judge of Probate there is little |
or no opposition to Judge Alfred. He
is said to have performed the duties
of his office very satisfactorily, and
has accommodated the sections of the
county most Inconvenience by hav
ing the court held at Newport only,
by holding sessions at convenient
points. The only other name men
toned is that Of S. R. Fletcher of
Holland, whose friends believe would
make a very capable man in this Of
fee. Judge Fletcher would move to
headquarters, doubtless, if the Office
fell to him.
There has been something of con-
test already in regard to the States
Attorneyship, three cadidates having
been mentioned, o. S. Annis of No.
Troy, III. F. Graham of Craftsbury
and j. B. Redmond of Newport. Mr..
Annis was probably first in the field
and will have, it is said, the support
of the valley, Newport, Derby and
most of the other towns in the north
part of the county. He is a very
bright, honorable and successful
young lawyer. Mr.. Graham is man
equally we'll esteemed; has many
friends among members of the bar
and throughout the county He is Ii
able to have the larger support of the
south end of the county. Mr.. Red
mond has two very strong competi-
tors and will find it quite difficult at
this time to accumulate much strength,
capable as he may be.
One "side" judge will be selected
at this convention, Judge Orne's time,
by custom having expired, Judge
Rogers will be reno minated without
opposition. Among the names sug-
gested for the place are those of S.
G. Streeter of E. Charleston, I. D. r.
Collins OF Barton Landing Judge
