Mr. Stanton's long public career and his
loyalty to the party, and this nomina-
tion received many seconds from various
parts Of the state.
The attempt to create a stsmpede for
Mr.. DeBoer was started when w. A.
Lord of Montpelier mounted the plat
form to place him in nomination, but it
was evident that most of the ap-
plause came from the galleries which
were filed with Montpelier people. Mr..
Lord made bright speech, cleverly
turning Mr.. buttons "draft" by allud-
ing to the fact that the politicians tried
to bury a man a few years ago by
making him vice-president, but he was
drafted" by the American people and
was now the first citizen in the United
States.
For governor the vote stood: Whole
number of ballots cast 6S6, necessary
for choice, 344, of which Charles ]. Bell
OF Walden had 372, Zed S. Stanton OF
Roxbury 1s1, Joseph A. DeBoer of
Montpelier 1872.
The best speech of the convention came
when Roger Hulburd of Hyde Park nomi-
mated Charles III. Stearns for lieutenant
governor and his eloquent manner and
happy way of saying just the right
thing added many votes to his candidate.
DR.. ]. A. Mead of Rutland was urged, as
a candidate. by r. A. Lawrence OF Rut-
land, because he had defeated Clement in
his own city and that Rutland county
had not had state office for 1S years.
But in seconding the nomination of Mr..
Stearns, on behalf of some of the dele
gates from Caledonia county. w. HI.
Jeffrey of East Burke, sagely remarked
that the convention was nominating
men not counties, and that the people in
the other parts of the state were not to
blame il Rutland county had not had
an Office. DIR. Mead's nomination was
seconded on behalf of the rest Of the
Caledonia county delegates, by Elmore
T. Ide.
The result of the ballot was the nomi-
nation of Mr. Stearns who had 358 votes
as against 317 for DR.. Mead.
While the ballots were being counted,
Charles Downer of Sharon nominated 7.
L. Bacon of Hartford for treasurer. Mr..
Stafford of Morrisville nominated F. 6.
Fleetwood OF that town for secretary of
state, and DR.. Charles Dustin of Orleans
county nominated II. F. Graham for au-
ditor, and all of these were elected unani-
mously viva voce.
While the ballot for rlieutenant-gov
was being taken, Mr.. Bell was escorted
into the hall by Mr.. Dutton, Mr.. Plum
ley and Milford who had made the NOM
mating speeches. Mr.. Bell addressed the
convention and was received with great
acceptance. He spoke of the Importance
of the work of the legislature, compared
with that OF the governor, and touched
upon state expenses and other. subjects
briefly.
Mr.. Barber of Bennington read the
resolutions, which are printed elsewhere.
The honor of standing as presidential
electors went without contest, and the
following four were nominated without
opposition: Walter Fl. Barry of Benning-
ton, E. P. Finn OF Springfield, Frank A.
Bond of Montpelier and Arthur F. Stone
of St. Johnsbury.

Nominated at Montpelier Last Thursday the
Standard Bearers of the Republican Party.
The Platform-New State Committee Convention
Echoes.
Echoes.

The republican state convention at
Montpelier last Thursday was the near
est to love feast the party has had for
many day. With three candidates for
governor and two for lieutenant-govern-
or both Offices were filled with one ballot
each and there was no sharp words on
the convention floor or anywhere else.
There were no 'quitters" and no sensa-
tional features. Each of the five candi-
dates had headquarters on the second
floor of the Pavilion and received their
friends Wednesday night, while down
stairs some of the politicians were busily
fitting around trying to shape things.

The convention opens at St. Louis
today and all indications now point to
the nomination of Judge Parker of New
York on the first ballot. The great
states of Pennsylvania, New York and
Georgia have rallied around his banner
and opposition to him seems to be
melting away. It looks now as if Judge
Kern of Indiana would be his running
mate. He is personal friend of Bryan's
and if he is nominated 1t will be to head
off Senator Fairbanks popularity in
Indiana and please the Bryan wing of
the democratic party.

The appearance of Perciva1 w. Clement
in his private car created no excitement
and Mr.. Clement mingled with the
crowd as good naturedly as the rest.
Before midnight it was generally under
stood that Mr.. Bell would win on the
first ballot and that the real contest Of
and DIR. Mead. The latter distributed
pink carnations as the emblem of vic
tory, but many wore them whose sym
pathy and vote was for the other fellow.
The convention met in the Golden

speeches of the day was by James F.
Hooker of Brattleboro who seconded
Mr.. Bells nomination. The seconding
Of Mr.. Bells nomination from Rutland
county had rather queer look and con-
tributed to the nomination of Mr..
Stearns later. During Mr.. buttons ad-
dress several of the Caledonia county
delegates produced cow bells and used
them with telling effect.
Frank Plumley of Mortified presented
the name of Lieut. Gov. Stanton for
governor, but it was easy to see that the
first candidate named had the majority
of delegates. Mr.. Plurnley referred to

CONVENTION ECHOES.

L
The defeated candidate who wouldn't
shake hands with his more fortunate
rival will never be governor of the state
| of Vermont.
The tuberculosis cases figured as an in
cident of the convention, when William
Chaplin Of Middlesex rose to say that the
cow bells he heard at this time were
taken from the thousand dead cows in
Middlesex. But his remark only added
to the joyousness of the occasion and the
incident may now be regarded as closed.
Congratulations to Hon. Charles J.
Bell of Walden. Against heavy odds he
| made his fight and achieved victory
without spending any money or making
any pledges. 1t is refreshing contrast
from the odorous campaign of 1902. He
will make a good governor and will be
elected in September by majority that
will surprise the country. AS Editor
Sawyer well said some months ago,
keep your eye on Bell"
Here's congratulations to Charlie
Stearns, one of the best fellows in Yer
mont, man who has had legislative ex-
perience and who won his victory against
the plans of some of the shrewdest politi-
clans in the state.
Messrs. Bacon, Fleetwood and Gra-
ham felt their calling and election was
sure, but they are none the less gratiied
over the result of the convention. All
three of them are St. Johnsbtiry Academy
boys and they have host of friends in
this section who are pleased to see the
honors they have received and to know
that they are filling their positions so
well.
The Montpelier Argus has the follow
ing comment which will interest all our
readers: Zone of the interesting char
acters was Hon. Henry c. Bates, of st.
Johnsbury, who is at home for vaca-
ton from his service in the Philippines.
Judge Bates is as erect and vigorous as
ever and talks Interestingly of his ex-
perienc es."

GIGANTIC MINE
Combination IB
John D. Rockefeller Said to Have
Taken Up, Personally, the Work
of the. Combination.
IT had BEEN HIS BROTHERS. TASK
IN CONJUNCTION With Il. H. ROGERS
II Contcnplates the Consolidation
of All the Valuable Mineral In
terests in the United States Ex-
cept the Calumet and HecIa Cop
per Property.

New York, June BIN connection
with it's prediction of q gigantic COM
binatfon, in the near future, of all the
valuable mineral properties in the
United States, with the possible ex-
ception OF the Calumet and Hecla cop
per property in Upper Michigan, the
World says:
Within the past ten days John d.
Rockefeller has taken up, personally,
the task which had been left to his
brother, William, and to H. H. Rogers,
who have been conspicuously identified
with the mineral interests of the
Standard Oil Co. For ten years the
Standard oil capitalists have been ac-
quiring the mines Of America through
their banking interests.
''In Colorado David Moffatt and Dem
mis- Sullivan, of the First national
bank of Denver, have paid out many
millions in the last six years for mines,
and are said to control 70 per cent
of the producing gold. silver and lead
mines of the Rocky mountain dis
trict.
Senator Clark, owner of the United
Verde copper mines of Arizona, and
with large holdings in many of the
Amalgamated Copper Co.'S mines in
Montana, has been working with Mr..
Rogers for several years. The extern
sive placer gold interests of southern
California, controlled by the southern
California banks, are In such condition
that they can be taken over at any
time.
"F. A. Heinze has been In this city
for several weeks. He will neither af-
firm nor deny that he is negotiating for
the turning over of his interest in
Montana to the new combine.
THE only stumbling block in the
way of the deal is the insistence Of
Mr.. Heinze on being made an officer
in the new company, which will make
1t possible for him to keep certain
promises in Montana"

in favorable condition, although
there is not so much of it as in
previous years. Wheat is heading

NAN PATTERSON INDICTED
The Actress Who Was With Book
maker Young, When Killed,
Indicted.
She Is Charged with Murder in the
First Degree, aud Will be Ar
raigned to Plead Tuesday.

New York, June 13.-Mrs. Nan Pat
terson, the actress, who was with
Caesar Young, the bookmaker, in a
cab on June 4, when he was shot and
killed. has been indicted for murder
in the first degree. Young, who had
been a close friend of Mrs Patterson
for several years, met her by appoint
ment about two hours before the time
set for the sailing of the steamship
which he was to sail on with his wife
for Europe. They had spent most of
the previous evening in conference
over the impending separation, and,
1t is understood, that this farewell
meeting was arranged for the transfer
to Young of certain letters in the pos
session of Mrs. Patterson. Conflicting
stories have been told of the happen
ings in the cab, and Mrs. Patterson has
refused to give the details of the shoot
ing, except to say that Young shot him
self, and that after the shooting she
had picked up the revolver and placed
1t in Young's right-hand pocket.
The indictment shows that the wit
nesses who appeared before the grand
jury were: Dr. Edwin N. Higgins, of
the Hudson Street hospital; DR.. o Han
Ion, coroner's physician; William Luce,
Caesar" Young's brother-in-law; Pa
trolman Junior, Capt. Sweeney, of the
Leonard street station, and Frederick
Michaels, cabman. The return was
made to Judge Newburger. The filing
of the indictment obviated the hearing
Of much evidence at the coroner's in
quest. Only a few witnesses were ex-
amined, and the jury quickly returned
a verdict that Young came to his death
by bui'et wound.
Mrs. Patterson will be arraigned to
plead before Judge Newburger in the
court Of general sessions Tuesday.

GEN. BELLS STATEMENT.
The Recent Troubles Attributed to
S0cfnIisttc Infiueuces. ri.

The Recent Troubles Attributed to
Socinlistic Influences. e,
Cripple Greek, Col, June 13.--Gen.
Bell has given out statement con-
corning his action in deporting strik-
,ers and the causes leading up to the
same. He attributes the recent trou-
bles growing out of the. miners strike
and the strike itself, to the socialist
element in the Western Federation Of
Miners, who. he says, captured the or
ganization two years ago. He de-
clares that the federation has made
unionism secondary consideration,
and that the organization, root and
branch, is being made vehicle for
the promotion of socialism. The lead
ers, he asserts, have not hesitated to
cause weak and willing members to
commit any crime to strike terror to
property owners or striking men who
refuse to abide their dictates"
ssk A Direct Charge.
The murder of non-union men by
blowing up the independence station,
he charges was "perpetrated with the
aid and advice of federation leaders
and by men in their employ"
The only hope for peace and securi-
ty of life and property was ito ex-
terminate the federation from the
camp"
AS the head OF the state militia, "re-
sponsible only to the governor" the
general continues, 1t became his duty
to effect this result The arrest of ev-
cry man In the district belonging to the
federation was ordered. Unless they
were able to- show clean bill OF
health they were placed in the bull pen
and held or deported. The deporta-
ton of federation men, Gen. Bell de-
clares, is military necessity" They
are not being deported because they are
union men or to destroy un'onism, but
because 1t is believed they are a men
ace to the peace and welfare of the dis
trict.

Bio storm Near Lswlshurn.

A heavy wind, hail and rain storm
near Lewisburg, in Marshall coun-
ty, last week, did much damage to
timber, barns and fences. Several
stores were unroefed, and farmers
in the path Of the storm suffered
much loss from prostrated fencing
and trees. The telephone lines be-
tween Lewisburg and points in the
southern section of the country were
blown down, and much damage to
growing crops resulted.
