Rather a diversity of talent but as

With personal acquaintance with
many of the members and a careful
scrutiny of the returns, | am assured
that the house which will organize
next week will be one of unusual
strength and ability, well balanced and
capable Of producing the best results.
No Vermont legislature since the War
of the REBELLION has had such import
tant questions submitted for its consid-
GRAFTON and settlement as confront the
General Assembly of 1900, and with
the material composing it the people
are justified in expecting most salts
factory work.
