Republican County
Convention
Endorses Robt. M LaFollette For
Governor Practically Unanimously
In Wood County.
Almost Full Delegation of Sixty
Five.

Those who were privileged to attend
the Republican County Convention in
Nekoosa Tuesday certainly enjoyed
the day. The complete delegation OF
sixty-tive delegates were nearly all
personal---very. precinct being repre-
sented except One-the town OF Dexter.
The convention was perfectly harmon
ious and unanimous except what little
rifle was made by Milwaukee repre-
sentative of tle Stalwart League in
the person Of Chas. A. Coon, who
was granted seat In the convention
by obtaining proxy from t. John
son who was elected delegate in
the town OF Marshfield. The rifle
was SO slight that no one paid any
attention to it and considered the
source from which it emlnated. The
convention was called to order by III.
G. Wipperman, chairman OF the
County Central Committee, at two
O'Clock p. m. The list Of delegates
entitled to seats in the convention
was then read as follows

GEN. CIRCUITS LETTER.

We give in another column letter
from Gen. w. w. Grout to the Ran
dolph Herald and Eclrs which was
written by the General in reply to
numerous inquiries regarding his
reasons for supporting DR.. Webb for
governor. This is a frank statement
on the part of General Grout but the
Herald and NelCs instead of accepting
it as such is apparently very much
worried, either fearing that his sup
port will insure the election of DR..
Webb as governor or that he may de-
eide to be acandidate for the senator
ship. Among other things the Herald
and Nelcs says:
"But let's see. We did not ask Gen.
Grout why he supported DIR. Webb,
but why he is $50 actively Interested
an activity unprecedented and un-
usual in his political career. l. the
welfare of Vermont so vitally con-
cerued in this canvass as to call forth
from Gen. Grout such endeavor as he
has never put forth before-for an
other?"
During the past years when Gen.
Grout would have gladly supported
the candidacy of his friends he has
himself been a candidate before the
people and consequently obliged to
remain out of other contests. This
fact is very we'll known to the Herald
and Nelcs but in looking for some
loop hole through which to escape
it caught at this. Can it be that
the contemporary is worrying lest
Gen. Grout should decide to become
a candidate for the Office of Uni
ted States senator? If Senator
Dillingham; is meeting the expec
tation of the people in every way
his supporters should have nc
fear but that he will be reelected
Possibly the nervousness which they
are exhibiting at this time is due
to their fear that he has failed to make
the record which they predicted fol
him? Gen. Grout mas given his rea
sons why he is supporting DR.. Webb
and if there is any reason why hi
should not pursue his present course
then let it be brought before thu
people, otherwise he should bt
allowed the same privilege accord
ed others, that of supporting in peace
the man he considers best fitted TO-
the office.

Fire at Montpelier.
Montpelier was visited by a fire at
1870 o'clock Sunday morning, the loss
attending which was the greatest
suffered there in recent years. The
tenement house, Hillside, owned by
M. E. Smile, county clerk, caught
from a defective chimney and was
prac tically ruined. The fire Depart
ment kept the fire from spreading to
the adjacent buildings. There were
eleven families in the building who
were made homeless and their effects
were mostly destroyed, either by fire
or water. Only five families carried
insurance and all were OF humble
means.
Drowned in River.
John Powell of Nashua, n. H., who
has been visiting his daughter, Mrs.
w. L. Aver of st. Johnsbury, disap-
peared from the house last Saturday
forenoon and no trace of him had
been found until Wednesday fore
noon when his body was found in the
Passumpsic river. Mr.. Powell had
been suffering from nervous prostra-
ton for some time and it is certain
that his mind had been somewhat
affected by this sickness. Mrs. Pow
ell, who has just recovered from a
sickness, is also at her daughters.
Vigorous search was made in all di-
rections the latter part Of the week,
but finally tracks were discovered
Tuesday afternoon leading to the
river and none were found leading
back. From this they began the
search and found the body.

the motives of another and will tell
you why l support DIR. Webb.
But, first of all, let me ask, why at
tempt to inject into the governor
question a matter wholly aside from
it and wholly the product of the
imagination, namely, supposed sem
atorial contest in which / am paraded
as conspiring against the divine right
of our junior senator to the seat he
now occupies? Have the Mccullough
men no better argument for their
candidate than that l am for DIR.
Webb?
Bnt to the point; you are evident
ly troubled to know if l am candi-
date for the senate and l answer,
am not. 1 say this to you as I have
said it to every one who has written
or spoken to me on the subject, be-
cause l have no present purpose or
expectation of being a candidate.
But do not say will not be a can
L
the future, but shall hold myself free
to take whatever course may seem
best; and if l should become a can
didate, the people shall have fair no
tice. There will be no underground
business about it, as you seem to be
looking for. If your insinuatIon OF a
trade with DR.. Webb is entitled to
any reply whatever, l will say that it
exists only in your imagination. Not
a word has passed between DR.. Webb
and myself directly or indirectly on
the subject, and this whole question
can be best disposed of by the old
Morse maxim, evil to him who evil
thinks"
No, I am not a candidate for the
senate or any other office. But 1 am
a citizen of the state, with The same
rights as other citizens; the right to
be treated as we'll; and the right to
support. for governor the man who [
think, on my responsibility as citi-
zen, is the best man for the place,
and the man who will best serve the
interests of Vermont.
At this time, think DR.. w. Seward
Webb is that man. 1t could hardly be
otherwise, as he is SO largely con-
nected with the material interests of
the state, more largely probably than
any other man living i'll Vermont to-
day, and is thus in position to SO
much help the people.
But, some one asks, will he do this,
will he help the people? I say yes.
Why do l answer with such conf
! dence? Because his character justi-
fies it. He is a whole-souled, public
spirited man, generous to fault,
always contributing literally to
every worthy enterprise, material,
moral and spiritual; not since he has
been named for governor, but all
through life, and because he is built
that way. He is withal a man of fine
ability and large business experience,
and would give the state an able,
business-like administration.
Now, Friend Johnson, these are the
reasons in brief why l am for Dr.
Webb for governor. They are
sufficient to gain my support, and
believe they will prove sufficient to
command the support of a large ma
ority of the people of the state.
