MCCULLOUGH ADDRESSES CONVENTION.
The committee, with Gen. Mccullough,
was then announced and the nominee
was given a warm ovation on his APP
pearance and made one OF his excellent
speeches. He began by asking what the
meaning OF all this tumult was. Has
Kansas cyclone been transplanted to
Vermont? He thought not as be did not
see the people making for their cellars
but rather party of jubilant Vermont
republicans. Their enthusiasm had
changed from gentle zephyr to a Yer
mont whirlWind which was to sweep
them on to glorious victory in the fall.
He said that the pre- convention cam
paign had been somewhat queer in the
appearance, disappearance and reappear-
ance Of candidates and he had never seen
its like since he became a Vermonter.
But now that it was over, republicans
were safe again. where they had been
many times before. Like the waves dur
ing the tempest they had now become
one as a sea. He was glad it had been
discovered that he was not entirely a
man without a country, and he con-
graduated Vermonters today that they
had resolved that men living in the state
for 80 years were entitled to hold some
of its offices.
He then spoke OF some features OF the
platform, saying that in national way
Vermont must return the same verdict in
the fall as she had in the past We must
be liberal to our island possessions. We
must have an isthmian canal and gov
eminent cablein the Pacific unless private
capital would build it. He then paid
glowing tribute to the republican party,
its success and promise and closed by
saying there were his last words to the
republicans of Vermont for 1902. An
other ballot was ordered but the motion
to adjourn until s o'clock was carried.
