THE CAROLINA PAROQUET.

u
Amongst the many American birds
threatened with total determination at al /
carly date is that wonderfully beautiful !
creature, the Caroline parOquet, The sole
representative of the parrot family in the
United States.
Originally its range extended over more |
than half of this country, from the At |
lantic Ocean to Colorado and Indian Ter |
ritory, and from Maryland, the Great
Lakes and Iowa to the Gulf. For more
than hundred years this wide range has
been growing narrower as civilization ad |
vanccd, until to-day the bird is not to be |
found save in a few unsettled portions of
Florida and Indian Territory. Less than
a century ago the Carolina paroquets
swept the forests in whirling clouds of
green and yellow. To-day. even after "A
woarisome search it would be difficult
to find flock Of twenty birds.
The causes of this terrible diminution
in numbers have been many. In the first
place. the bird was very destructive to
fruit orchards, and this made it 1t, essary
for the agriCulturistS to destroy it, y
flock of paroQucts would light in an or
Chard, and apparently just for fun and
mischief. would twist off the apples OF
other fruit with their bills and strcw them
ON the ground. Sometimes they would eat
a little Of the fruit. but at other times
they would not even taste it. Another
cause WAS the beauty Of the bird which

NOMINATING SPEECHES.

| John H. Senter Of Montpelier moved that
the convention nominate state officers and
there WAS considerable discussion as to
whether or not there should be a nominat-
ing committee. Mr.. Scnier's motion was
finally carried.
G. d. Watson Of St. Adams WAS the first
speaker. lie said he believed that the pres
ent situation has not occurred in 80 years.
This year the republican party has stolen
the democratic principles and hope to win
success from the platform. rs now time
when we should consider anything but pure
democratic principles and a pure demo
cratic ticket? We should unite as a demo-
cratic party and pull together DO we have
, to look about US to find men who represent
true democratic principles? ! wish to pre-
sent the name Of a man who is entitled to
, receive from the party the nomination for
b governor, the Hon. Felix w. Mcfettrlck
b of st. Adams"
The applause caused by the nomination
of Mr.. McCettrick had hardly died away
when j. II. Burke of Burlington was on
his feet to present the name of =. W. Glenn
cnt He said: During. our deliberations
ilct us not forget that we have a duty to

We are opposed to the present unjust
and unfair method OF taxing railroad
property.
we favor the passage Of law giving
to women the right to vote on all questions
pertaining to taxing property of which
such women are the owners.
We denounce the system which has for
many years prevailed in Vermont by which
the minority are denied tho slightest par
ticipation In the executive departments of
the State. Under the present regime the
minority is treated as If it was made up
of either imbecilcs or outlaws.
The anuquated and English rotten bor-
ough provision of the Vermont State con-
stitution by which the town of Glasten-
bury. with only As inhabitants has one rep
rescntative in the house, while the city of
Burlington with a population Of 1850 has
only the same number ought to be chang
cd and representation made equal Under
the present constitution 20 cities and towns
with 115S0S inhabitants elect only 20 rep
rescntatives, while the same number of
small towns with 4.0i9 inhabitants elect
the same number. The four 1arg st places
elect four representatives with their l5112
inhabitants and the four smallest towns
elect like number with only 2G0 inhabit-
ants If representation was equally divid-
ed as it is in nearly ever other state ii
would require substantially LOO inhabit-
ants to give one representative in the
house. Upon the basis the 20 larger cities
and towns would be entitled to eishty-two
representatives and the 20 smaller towns
to only three representatives. If we take
the four larger cities and towns on the
same basis they will be entitled to 80 rep
rescntatives and 1t will require II of the
smaller towns to elect single one. On the
same basis Burlington will be entitled "a
i" representa- ives, Rutland eight and Ben
nington SIX. The present constitutional
met hod is unrcpubliCan, undemocratc, and
| unfair.
| We pledge ourselves to support the
| statute which will require all corporations

| their employees weekly, to support n
statute by which the wages of laborcrS not

! providing a penalty for a violation of tho

| Upon the motion of V. A. Bullard of Bur-
lington the resolutions were accepted and
adopted as the platform of the democratic
party.

VOTE CALLED FOR.

After a time the delegates became tired
of hearing speeches and began to call for
q vote. f. NJ. Sutton of Burlington moved
that an adjournment be taken for one
hour but no one seconded his motion and
the chair took no notice of it.
John IL Scnter of Montpelier moved that
the vote of the convention be taken by
towns. the chairman of each town to an
nounce the vote, and if any vote WAS
challenged each delegate was to vote sop
eratoly. The motion called forth per
feet storm and before it subsidized it was
apparent that many of tho delegates did
not know what all the trouble was about
anyway. There were cries of ballot and
they were repeated so loudly that 9. A. q.
jackson of Montpelier reminded the con-
vention that there was no provision in tn
constitution of the Democratic party pro-
Viding for vote by ballot
At the close of Mr.. Scntors remarks
John Cur1'ier of North Troy rose from mis-
seat and. waving his arms in the air
shouted My name is Currier,' and thcr
sat down.

rescind the clause of the constitution &C
that a vote could be taken by ballot. Thai

and said: "A motion has been made I
