senger report, under date of Montpelier,
June goth: The Republican campaign
was formally opened in Vermont to-day
by the meeting of the State Convention
to nominate ticket to be supported at
the September election. The ante-con-
tion canvass for the lieutenant governor

stood: Mansur 30, Vail 8; Grand Isle
voted six solid for Mansur; Lamoille,
Mansur 22, Vail 4; Orleans, Mansur 40,
Vail 2; Windham, 30 for Mansur solid;

10; Caledonia, for Mansur, 80 for Bates;
