SATURDAYS CONVENTION.

The unanimiity with which the Chtten-
ite results on Saturday is alike gratifying
and encouraging. Previous to the gath
the fight over sheriff might be 50 bitter
as to leave some divisions in the party
ranks but the test Of the sentiment of the
delegates showed that the judgment of a
large ma jorty was in favor of Mr.. Allen
The speedy withdrawal Of the other can
didates proved that they place party well
fare and harmony above personal prefer
ment and gives assurance of united eff
fort among the political workers of the
county. This combined with the popular
approval Of the choice OF Mr. Allen has
dispelled all doubts The Republican party
OF this county is united. and when united
is invincible.
The only contest that lasted until the
meeting of the convention was that over
States attorney, The first ballot showed
such lead for Mr., Sherman that his OPP
ponents were willing to concede him the
victory. The fight all through has been
characterized by fairness and honorabke
conduct and the result will not cause any
jealousy or bitterness. Mr.. Shermans

THE STATE CONVENTION

Did capital piece OF work at Montpelier
yesterday. The sound and strong speech
of its presiding officer Mr. Bigel"w
struck the right keynote for the occasion
The nominating speeches were TO the
point without gusa or hitalutin, Mr.
Proctor's acceptance was straightforward
and emphatic In regard to things needed
to be done and the principles which will
guide him, as tho chief magistrate of
our State. First rate men were uomina ed
for lieutenant-governor and treasurer
The State officers whose faithful dis
charge of their duties in the past enti-
tied them to denomination, were renomin-
ated without opposition. The platform
will commend itself to the approval of
the voters and help to call out the fun
party vote. In nCsle of these respects did
the convention dsappoint the just ex-
pectations of the Vermont republicans
and in view of these results, it is of little
consequence what their opponents do or
attempt TO do in the campaign now SO
auspiciously begun

denominations The Baptists, for IN
stance. have 52,oi9 churches and only 49,
0O1 ministers. Disciples of Christ have H.
O33 churches and 6,475 ministers. Luther
ans, 1898 churches and 1856 ministers
Presbyterans. all bodies. have 5,702
churches and 1850 ministers. Episcopal
ians with 7146 churches have but 5,i09 cler-
gymen. The Reformed Churches have
$40 ministers to 1856 churches. United
Brethren have i.4O7 churches and but Piss
ministers There Is a shortage Of minis
tiers for the Methodist Churches. These
figures do not mean that quarter of the
churches are without ministerial supplies.
In the rural districts one clergyman often
supplies two or more pulpts; but even
this partial supply is alleged to be de-
creasing.
There are notable exceptions, however,
the Catholic Church has ,637 churches
and 14iOi clergymen. The Congregation
ais,s have 6.o59 ministers and 1888
churches. tnitarlans have also more min
listers than churcheS, as nave some Oh thc
smaller denominations.
I Various causes are assigned for the fall
ling off of the number of yonng mSn who
are seeking the Christian ministry. one is
the small salaries paid to clcrgymen. An
other is that many men who In former
times would have entered theological sem
inaries are now fitting themselves for set
itloment workers, Y. NJ. c. A. secretaries
and trained Christian workers, lines other

the situation marks of a serious spiritual

SHORT SUPPLY OF PASTORS.

Religious leaders both in this country
and Europe. express some alarm over
the small classes that are graduating
from the theological seminaries and Of
the increasing number of churches with
out pastors. A summary of late statistics
of the various denominations In the United
States, places the total number OF
churches Of all bodies, at 1882, and the
total number OF ministers at 152,575. In
other words, there are scarcely more than
three ministers for every four churches
This marked difference between the num-
Der OF ministers and the NUMBER ui

afternoon at the opening Of the Coney
Island Jockey Clubs June meeting on

the accommodation OF such a crowd
as was never seen In a New York race

Though the entries for the big race
