The committee on resolutions SUBJ
mitted the following, which was
adopted: u
| RESOLVED, THAT the Republicans of
| Lamoille County, in convention assem-
bled, recognizing the wise guidance of
an all powerful Providence, and the far
seeing and statesmanlike acts of DIR
| National and State Administrations, as
we continue in this unparalleled era Vof
National and State prosperity do most
| heartily endorse the platform and can
didates of our recent National and
State convention, and the candidates
this day nominated by us. And we
hereby pledge ourselves to use all hon
orable means to secure their elections
by an old time Vermont majority.
For the position of First Assistant
Judge, F. G. Fleetwood placed in
nomination the present Second AS
sistant, A. l. Boynton, "of Lamoille
County" For several years the
custom has been to give one of the
Judges a second term. The "com-
bination,'s' against Morristown was
so strong this year that it was
thought by some that even "a. ]. y
good man that he is, might not es-
cape; but Mr.. Fleetwood's wise eg-
preston "of Lamoille county" put
the convention in good humor and
| Jtdge Boynton received the nonlina-
ton bv reclamation. III ~
For Second Assistant Judge, H. l..
Delano, in one of the best speeches,
presented Henry c. Parker of Elmore.
The nomination received several
seconds from various other towns
and Henry c. Parker was nominated,
and will have prefix to his name
the remainder of his life. His father
was an honorable judge in a similar
capacity. and Henry has all the abil-
ity and natural makeup for a like
official. s+s =
Next came the selection of candi-
date for Sheriff. 1t was evident to
a majority that the efforts of Geo.
Town to get there this year would
be of no avail, as the combine
was against him. He was presented
in a good manner by 7. c. Cheney
But all of Toms" earnest pleas in
his behalf were of no avail. c. Fl.
Reed of Wolcott, in a clear and ,bbsi-
ness-like manner named Howard l..
| Stevens of that town. He believed
that eighteen years as a Deputy was
worthy of recognition and deserving
of promotion to the higher place,
Both were literally seconded. The
ballot showed Howard L. Stevens
to have So votes, Geo. E. Town to
have 80 and J. T. Stevens l, and sd
Howard got the plum. - =
For Judge of Probate R. W, Hull
burd, in "behalf of the entire delega-
ton from Hyde Park and nine other
towns, presented E. c. White, the
present incumbent, and the nominal
ton, which was seconded byaFdH.
Raymore, of the Judges old home
town, went through with 'rOusing

The funny part of the convention
came in. Selecting a candidate for
High Bailiff. T. c. Cheney, remem-
bering how o. H. Wilson, two years
ago, had sprung the nomination
upon him, endeavored to turn the
tables, and named Wilson. Orville
was onto the scheme, however, and
very nicely argued that worthy
official should receive generous re-
ward and urged the denomination OF
| Cheney Cheney saw it was no use
to protest against this strong appeal
and so very gracefully withdrew
! Wilson's name and received a re-nom-
| ination for this important office.
| The following County Committee
was then elected
Belvidete, G. NJ. Ainsworth; Cam
bridge, Linus Leavens; Eden, w. ].

Iy organized by electing 0. H. Viii
son Chairman and 7. c. Cheney Sec
rotary. 0Wel .
Hon. c. H. Stearns, the nominee
for Lieut.. Governor, was called Upon
and made a few remarks in which he
thanked the Republicans of Lamoille
County for the hearty support they
had given him in the state conven-

plauded and then the county conven-

But my, didn't it rain!
1t was a harmonious convention.
The fact that "in union there is
strength" was forcibly eXemplifed,
The "soHd phalanx" frow the west
end of the county was too much tor
