Five Miles OF Cancrete

The concreters are at work this
week laying new walks on both sides
of Union street, east of Congress
and also on Bridge street, They
are. also laying q concrete drive
in front of Judge George NJ. Powers
residence. AS the question as to how
many miles of public concrete we now
have, we will state there is a little
over five miles. The measurement
was taken by bicycle cyclomater and
does not include private walks. While
this may not be exactly correct,
these measurements will not be found
far out of the way. They we're taken
Monday and do not include the work
in progress on Union street. For a
village the siz7 of Morrisville this
amount of concrete is an enviable
mark of progressiveness. We are in
formed that the Trustees plan to do
quite q little more in this direction.

Thirty.Nine Years Ago Yesterday

Thirty-nine years ago yesterday,
Aug. Is, 1866, the largest crowd ever
gathered in Hyde Park, or any other
place in Lamoill9 county, came for
the purpose Of nominating a candi-
date for Congress. The district was
the old Third and the contest was be-
tween Portus Baxter of Derby, at
the rime serving his second term in
Congress, and Romeo, b. Hoyt, an
attorney of st. Adams. 1t was a
mass convention and the friends of
these two men came here in large
numbers. 1t was impossible to get
the crowd into the town hall and the
multitude assembled on the Common.
Geo. Wilkins of Stowe was the presid-
ing officer and both men were pre-
sented. The rabble was great and
the confusion such that it was impos-
sible to maintain order. Both sides
were about evenly divided and the
contest was kept up all day long and
at night the convention adjourned
without effecting a nomination. 1t
was a great day and in the language
of to. day "there was something do
ing all the time" Both men were
voted for at the September election,
but there was no choice. Waldo
Brigham of this town was the DEM
ocratic nominee and an effort was
made to create a stampede for him.
But the party leaders got together
and fearing that Brigham might be
elected in November urged both Hoyt
and Baxter to withdraw, which they
did and Worthington G. Smith of st.
Albans was elected. That was the
outcome of the famous Hoyt and
Baxter camDaipn,
