FUSION TICKET NOMINATED
Was Busy Day For Rutland Politicians Yes
terday.


Rutland, July es,erday was
the busiest day in politics that Rutland
has seen in some time and the spirit of
the big state conventions held in Bur
liugton June y prevailed. Some few
Of the Democrats wanted straight tick
cts nominated but in the end fusion
prevailed, the ajority OF the delegates
refusing any other settlement
The day was an ideal one to bring
out delegates from all over the county
and at recesses of the conventions the
streets we're filled with men talking pol
tiles Fusion was the demand OF the
day and everyone was talking of the
good of the movement. Machine work
was conspicuous by its absence and
the time used in selecting able and
proper men to be voted upon at the
fall election showed that no prear
ranged slate had been made. AT the
close OF the con yention all agreed
that the ground had been thoroughly
gone over and wherever weak plac,
had been discovered the trouble ha q
been rectifed
The ticket as it now stands must be
accepted by the democratic county
committee before it is put in the field,
but as their representative was salts
fled with the nominations, tits thought
that the ticket will remain as it now
