Following the election of officers was an
interesting discussion calculated to bring
out opinions as to the most practical meth
cd of bringing out the voters at the Sep
TENDER election. b. d. Harris urged the
importance of setting into action at once
and doing our utmost to roll up a majority
of 81, 900, which would set the pace for the
whole country. Col. Haskins called atten-
ton to the fact that some of the newspa-
pers which heretofore had ridiculed the
idea that Vermont elections had any influ-
ence upon other state elections were now
advocating the same doctrine that he had
always advocated. j. L. Martin urged the
Importance of showing that the western
opinion of the free silver craze in the East
was not well founded. Mr.. Martin said
that the same sentiment which would turn
down the United States supreme court
would turn down the state judiciary and
strike deadly blow at the social liberty of
the people and of the government.
Fl. Z. Taylor confirmed Mr.. Harris's
opinion of the importance of Vermont's
vote by citing a Circumstance which hap
pened at the national encampment of the
Grand Army. DR.. Holton said there were
more elements in the West working in ia
vor of the Republican party than we were
aware of, and that with little missionary
work among ourselves we would be able to
carry the day with comparative ease. Ny
ron Ward made the closing speech of the
evening by citing the depreciation, under
the free silver agitation, of certain securi-
ties which he owned in the West and ad-
monished the Republican party to remem-
Der its duty.
