The Democratic National
Convention,

The democrats at their national con-
vention at St. Louis last week named
Judge Parker of New York for President,
and Henry G. Davis of West Virginia,
formerly United States Senator, for
Vice President. Both secured the NOM
ination on the first ballot. A sensation
was sprung upon the convention by the
nominee for president who sent a
message to the delegates announcing his
recognition OF the fact that the gold
standard is irrevocably established, and
that he should act accordingly if the
action of the convention was ratified by
the people. Except with this under
standing he should consider it his duty
to decline the nomination. The con-
vention after an exciting debate, by a
vote of 1856 to 100, replied that the
question was not an issue in this
campaign. The fourth page contains
some Of the interesting proceedings of
the convention. Final adjournment
was made at 1.30 o'clock Sunday
morning.

has met with a wholesome
setback, and the victim by this time is,
probably, sadder aud wiser man. The
result gives cause for rejoicing among
the disinterested portion Of the people,
for the presentation Of Judge Parker as
candidate will not cause such uneasiness
in business circles as to preeipitate a
spell of hard times. SO far so good.
Only those on the inside could tell
what has brought about the nomination
of a man who, like Coriolanus, has dis
dained 10 intimate to the rank and file
Of his party that he desired at their
hands this favor. The fact remains
that the party have nominated a man
apparently the antithesis of candidate
Roosevelt. 1t may be that Judge Parker
owes the honor to the fact that he has
thus far reserved his opinions upon the
issues under discussion. These can
certainly be most effectively given in
his letter of acceptance. He may, or
NAV not, be a colorless man, and 1t
seems premature to judge of this until
he has declared himself. His personal
communication is awaited with much
interest.

ANGLES Letter.

All the great leaders of the democratic
party have met in order to choose and
present to the voters candidate for the
highest honor in the gift of the people.
Wonderful to relate, in view of the bitter
antagonists between leaders and the
apparent utter lack of unity of senti-
ment in the party, reorganization and
general agreement are now accomplished;
and what is most wonderful, in view
of probabilities, at the close of the great
convention the mighty host were all
safe and sane.
The outcome of this momentous con.
test for the honor of nomination is a
complete vindication of the "experi-
ment' of permitting to the masses the
great privilege of suffrage. In spite of
the expenditure of millions and an
enormous distribution of shot air,

Essex County Republican
Nominees.

The republicans Of Essex county are
to be congratulated in their choice oil
county officers for the two years next
ensuing, made at the convention held ut
Guildhall last week. Judge Holbrook
of Lexington, the nominee for senator
is a man of very extensive and practical
information, and man of experience.
lie is independent, and not only sound
on all moral questions, but his life also
is consistent with his public action with
reference to them. Year after year he
has been honored by his townsmen with
the most important town offices in their
power to bestow. He is man who will
look after the interests of his constitu-
ents as we'll as public interests generally
The convention continued its custom
of retaining in Office one of the assistant
Judges, promoting Nathan Hobson from
second to first assistant judge, and III
the choice of Oliver b. Cutting the
county will find man in sympathy
with his senior colleague in looking we'll
to the interests of the county. These
Offices are of course position of honor
to those occupying them but of no par
ticular benefit. Both are thorough
business men.
For Judge of Probate Hon. Robert
Chase of Guildhall has year after year
shown evidence of his entire fitness for
the position, and no other name was
thought of, for the people know that the
duties of the office under his administra'
ton have been in the past and will be
in the future, performed promptly, ac-
curately, honestly, and with such ability
as will meet every occasion.
Harry B. Amey, the nominee for
states attorney, has been a resident OF
Essex county less than two years, and
his manner of doing business during this
brief residence Gin the town of Brighton
has been of such a character and nature
as to indicate that he will be an efficient
and careful official, and the people may
feel assured that he will discharge hi
duty to the state with ability, and with
out fear or favor.
Richard Beattie has the past two year
been an energetic and reliable sheriff
His denomination for this position indi
Gates the satisfaction of the people wit
the manner in which he has performe
the duties of this Office, and we iudg
the future by the past.
Charles w. Matthews of CRANKY wa
nominated for high bailiff. His dutie
are important (if called upon to perforl
them) and the convention selected
good man for the office in view of an
possible contingency.
The republicans thus present tick
made up of able and progressive mel
in line with the tickets presented by Il
state and nation. The people Of Il
whole county will expect Vermont
enter with ardor and enthusiasm in
the presidential campaign, the results
which are more important to each
dividual than many state elections. l.
us go merrily and heartily into the ca
paign and roll up majority that W
mont can be proud to herald to t
country as the key note of period
prosperity, safety, progress and hap

4 WORKING POLICY.

"Of all the policies ever saw policy,
never saw policy policy as yourpolicy
policies"
Thus writes an intelligent and enthu
siastic policy-holder who listens to and
tries to understand all the insurance talk
he hears, and when he thinks he has
heard of some new and good thing, goes
home and reads again his National poll :
cy and finds that he has the good thin g
and always has had it, and he realizes
that his National policy was not a mere
bargain of the day, but was study and
performance an expert and detailed
work developed demonstration of the
kind of policy he would have had if he
had hired the best help obtainable to get
cor him all he would need, or care for,
or ought to have in the way of protec
ton.
So he rejoices in the virtue of his prop
erty and is satisfied, and he is right.
A man should have policy which poll.
cies all the time, night and day, year in
and year out.
