His knowledge of books was small;

But he always knew when he might safely

He knew where to spread the taffy.
So he managed to get along.

One of the finest speeches made in the
state convention was that of a Newfane
boy, Frank L. Fish of Nergennes, in pre-
senting the name of his townsman, d. II,
Lewis, as a candidate for state treasurer.
Col. Hooker's remarks in nominating both
Judge Read and Mr. Bracket were in his
usual happy vein. While addressing the
state convention in advocating the claims
of Mr.. Bracket he brought down the
house more fully than any other speaker of
the day when, in speaking of the fine body
of men composing the convention, he lifted
his eyes to the galleries, partially filled
with ladies, and said, But | am reminded
hat man is a little lower than the angels, "
While Gen. Grout had 50 more votes
than Judge Read in the convention it is
said that less than 100 Read votes rightly
distributed in the caucuses would have
given the latter the nomination.
