/ The nomination of F. w. Baldwin, made
gby the republicans on Saturday, for town
representative, was unsought on his part.
The citizens of the village especially felt
/ that they needed man of experience and
ability in the legislature at this time on
account of important legislation concern
ing the matter Of bonds, etc. Mr.. Bald
win is well posted in the matters of legis-
latino. has large acquaintance in the
Slate. is a careful business man, and he
will make representative who will be a
credit to the town and the State. DR.. M.
F. Prime, whom the democrats have NOM
mated, is very worthy man and his
party will give him hearty support.
Some weeks since this paper had occasion
] to allude to a case in which husband
was accused of very unkind treatment to-
ward his wife, even to attempted poison
| ing A man who seems to have taken the
thing to himself acknowledges his fault
SO far as unlxind treatment goes, but says
that he never attempted to use poison. We
are glad to learn that the item in the
MONITOR and the advice Of the prosecut-
ing officer have had the effect to make a
great change in his treatment toward his
family. Let him remember that the in
dignation of the public will cease when he
becomes respectable man and uses his
wife as true and noble woman should be
used. Otherwise he is liable to get into
the tolls of the law, if not worse.
The political pot in Vermont is boiling.
Two weeks from tomorrow will close the
matter of the stae election in this State.
The question with Vermonters is whether
by their votes they shall cast seal of ap-
proval or disapproval on the administra-
ton, and whether they shall vote to
endorse the democracy with its silver
and pouulist doctrines, as set forth in the
Chicago platform. There win be another
politicalmeeting, which may be the last,
at the Seaver Opera House, Tuesday even
ing, Aug. 18, which will be addressed by
Ex-Gov. Dillingham; of Montpelier, and
d. M. Camp, Esq, of Newport. Gov.
Dillingham; is SO well known that he
needs no words of commentator. Mr..
Camp is good speaker, and has given
much time to- the study of the questions
of the day. Gov Dillingham; confines
himself largely to the financial question,
wisdom. The invitation is extended to
the ladies. People from the surrounding
vicinities ought to hear the discussion on
these important questions.
