II the movement to send Col Henry
S. Bingham, of Bennington, to the
Republican national convention at
Chicago as a district delegate meets
the approval of Colonel Bingham him
self, there ought not to be much room
for doubt in the minds of the voters
as to whether the place should go to
him or to ex-Gov John w. Stewart, of
Middlebury. That is, there ought
not to be, if the voters intend to put in
comparison all that has been done for
Stewart and all that might be done
or Bingham.-St Adams Messenger
