sufficient index to the manner of lite OF
the son.from his youth.
ale was brought up in the way he
should Co." and he has mot departed
from it." and will not "when he is old"
At 22 years of age VIM. p. was call
ed to be secretary of civil and military
affairs, to which responsible position,
and by reason OF his acceptable service
therein, he was later called again by
Gov. Peck.
His tastes were for the law. His
mind was logical and legal. His faith
er was recognized us the foremost jury
advocate in the state and the fathers
success and fame in the profession
were not without their influence in the
choice Of the line of life OF the son.
In his profession he early took high
rank. AS states attorney of his county
he successfully conducted some OF the
most celebrated prosecutions in the
history OF the state.
He has represented his native town
and county in both House and Senate
several years, and such was his ability
and aptness for the right functions asa
tried legislator that he soon received
from his party the unanimous nomi-
nation for the governorship, to which
office, he was elected by majority,
which attested his popularity with the
freemen of the state. And how sur
passingly able and well he fulfilled the
duties Of Governor, although varied
and complicated they had become,
leaving no trust neglected nor COM
plant unheard and performing all nee
essary civil and social functions with
proverbial urbanity and fidelity and
with due economy, are matters not yet,
nor soon to be, forgotten by his fellow
citizens.
From his first Introduction to the
obligations and duties OF Il public trust
in his young manhood, to the present,
there has come II constant develop
ment and Il marked progression in his
powers and capabilities in official and
professional lite, so that when we in
quire of ourselves who Of our past leg
islators and governors has attained de-
served popularity and reflected honor
on these stations, no record is found
cleaner or brighter or more to our COM
mendation than his.
In his profession us lawyer, having
while yet young man mastered the
law rs the perfection OF reason and
the science Of justice" his high stand
ard of morality and his pure and lofty
character have always stood out
brightly in the practice and application
of its provisions. No unworthy cause,
no immoral or unprincipled sutton nor
any perversion of justice ever found
the way open to his clientage. His
practice has been wide, extending into
every county of the state, and also be-
yond the state his services have been
often sought and rendered.
Belonging to and an untiring worker
in a profession which tends not only
to sharpen, but also to enlarge, the
mind, Gov. Dillingham; has also
snatched the time from his profession
al duties to keep himself in the fore
front ofgeneral study and of all public
questions.
Ardent in his Republicanism when
Abraham Lincoln stood ut the helm,
he has kept himself "up to date" on all
matters that have engaged the brain
and conscience of the statesmen of the
state and country to the present. In
all the presidential campaigns his time,
influence and power as an orator have
been devoted and felt both in and
without the state.
The modesty and sincerity Of his
manner, the clearness and terseness of
his statement Of the issues under dis
cussion, the earnestness and logic
with which he clothes his reasoning, as
we'll as the aptness and fertility of his
Illustration, have given him high
place first, or among the first, of the
orators OF our state. Vermont does
not contain more upright or respect
ed citizen and one whose integrity
and honor have been more tlawless in
all the walks of life.
Such is the candidate whom the
many friends Of Governor Dillingham;
present and want for the colleague of
Senator Proctor in the upper house.
