The State Ticket.

The. republican state convention at
Montpelier last week named ticket oi
which the party justly feels proud; republi-
cans will rally to the polls next fall with
the old time msjorities.
Against the head of the ticket, Col E.
c. Smith, nothing of personal nature has
ever been urged even by those most
opposed to bis promotion to the high office
of governor; he is clean, able and patriotic
and will, we predict, administer the duties
of the executive office with credit and
honor. While the people in this part Of
the state would have been pleased to have
DR.. H. D. Holton receive the second
place on the ticket, they understand that
Hon. H. c. Bates is qualified for the office
to which be has been named and are recon-
ciled.
The contest for state treasurer was the
hottest of the convention. The candidates
were J. L. Bacon of Hartford, d. H. Lewis

The candidates for secretary of state
were F. A. Rowland of Montpelier, V. 1.
