Judge Reads failure to get the nomina.
tion is keen disappointment to his many
friends, but considering the odds agains,
which he fought he made remarkable
showing. Sixteen years of fence building,
henchmen in every postofiice, the unscru,
pulous use of state and federal patronage,
car loads of free seeds, the active inter.
ference of the chief executive of the state,
the fishing expedition of Senator Proctor,
visits from colonels and lieutenants from
Washington, and other features Of the
campaign not for publication gave Gen.
Grout lead that no man in the district
could overcome.
Another feature that lost Judge Read
several votes was the half hearted support
he received in Washington county. There
seems to have been little active campaign
work outside Of Montpelier. The loss of
Barre was inexcusable, and the same is
pro baby true in several other towns.
Gen. Grout goes to congress tor two
years more, and notice is hereby given
that unless a kind fortune in the mean
time places him in the senate, he will be a
candidate for reelection two years hence.
