(It THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1898. THE GOLD WING Not Wanted On County Ticket llnl I lie Hi'inorrnttc Contention Elected n (.'old Hug (o IIciul (ho Connlv ( ominlttiT. About 35 Windham county Democrats assembled at Xewfanu Wednesday fore noon for their biennial county convention, and although their number was small they took until after -J o'clock to complete their business. The convention assembled at 11 o'clock. Dr. 1. P. White of Williams vlllo was elected chairman and A. C. Gib son of Londonderry secretary. A committee on credentials was then elected, consisting of the county committee. A committee on resolutions was also elected, consisting of H. F. Sleeper of Westminster, John E. Gale of Guilford, K. I!. Skinner of Newfanc, John Galvin and A. W. Chllds of Urattleboro. It was voted that the chairman of the delegations from each town appoint two delegates from each town who should together pre pare a list of names for a new county com mittee. John K. Gale moved that all nomina tions be made from the floor of the con vention, and that plan was adopted. The temporary organization was then made permanent after which the convention ad lourned for dinner. I'pon reassembling after dinner the nomination for county otlleers was begun, li. S. Chllds nominating George Kels of Urattleboro for senator from the Marlboro district. Mr. Chllds's nominating speech was of the spread eagle fashion in which he paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Eels's qualifications. John Galvin endorsed all that Mr. Chllds said concerning his candidate, but he had in mind another man, S. T. Dav enport, who embraced all of Mr. Eels's good qualities and in addition had had considerable legislative experience. Geo. Matey nominated A. W. Guilds as a clean young man who would fill the position with credit. The ballot showed 23 votes for S. T. Davenport, seven votes for George Eels and one vote for A. W. Chllds. The nomination of Mr. Davenport was then made unanimous by motion of It. S. Chllds. A. C. Gibson was nominated by K. S. ChlUIs for senator from the northern dis trict and he was chosen by acclamation. For sheriff H. F. Sleeper presented the name of G. W. Metcalf of Westminster, and Mr. Metcalf was nominated by a ris ing vote as there was one other candidate. John E. Galo was nominated for state's attorney by acclamation, his name being presented by Ii. S. Childs. For judges of probate H. A. Knight of Duinmerston, for the southern district, and T. W. Davis of Grafton, for the northern district, were nominated by ac clamation. A. W. Uoel of Urattleboro as "the land scape gardener for the Urattleboro Uetreat" was nominated by acclamation for high bailiff. Then came what may be termed the "scrap" of the convention, ii. F. Sleeper nominated for side judge from the West minster district E. It. Leonard of Bellows Falls. H. S. Childs opposed the nomina tion on the ground that Mr. Leonard was a gold Democrat and that no person of that faith was entitled to a positiou of the county ticket. Mr. Sleeper resented that sentiment and stated that although he voted for Hryan for president he did not endorse the Chi cago platform and he believed there were many others in the county in the same po sition. His nomination of Mr. Leonard was because of his fitness for the position. Mr. Sleeper finally withdrew the name of Mr. Leonard and the convention nomi nated Mr. Sleeper, but the latter positively refused to accept the nomination. The name of E. Ii. Campbell of Bellows Falls was then presented, and Mr. Campbell was nominated. There was no opposition to II. G. Porter of Whitingham for side judge from the Marlboro district. John Galvin was nominated for county commissioner and then the report of the committee appointed to prepare a list of names for a county committee was heard. The committee reported M. A. Wilder of Saxtons River, W. A. Eddy of Town shend, F. E. Ryther of Dover, N. T. Ryan of Brattleboro.and G. W. Franklin of Guilford, and they were nominated. It afterward was discovered that Mr. Wilder, nominated for chairman of the committee, was a gold Democrat, and the laugh was on Mr. Chllds for allowing him to be nominated without a word In oppo sition. CHEBTEHFIELD, N. H. A Wrong: Ktnteitirnt Corrected. Editor of The I'hcenix:The correspondent from tills town for the Ktene Sentinel has a piece In tlia Issue of July '."9 In regard to Sirs. Asbton and lier late Husband. In it the correspondent says that If it had not been for the generosity of the friends and neighbors Sir. Ashton's body would have been turned over to the faculty of Dartmoutn college for dissection. We admit that the law Is cruel and unjust In every way and form. All that it was passed for was to keep the medical college students from robbing graves. It the colleges could have our fctate prison birds Instead of the unfortunate poor for dissection the law would lie perfectly just. Now Mr. Ashton did not die at the County farm, neither did the neighbors contribute to his burial. The neighbors, in recognition of his many manly traits, and to show their sorrow and sympathize with his wife, gave her in a substantial way a sum of money and not by words alone. Sibo paid the funeral expenses herself and out of her own funds, Then again. If the circumstances hod been such as she could not have buried bin), then the town, it it saw lit, cMild have paid the funeral expenses. Hut our friend "Q" says the town could not. She la not up to times, or else her informant is not very well posted in regard to his business, for I hutt been this tried mjself. Wo think a great wrong has been committed to the poor widow and if the facts had been as stated It would have U en far better to have left them unpublislwd. I write this, 3Ir. Editor, hoping you will pub 11 di it and help lift the gloom that crowds upon tlm poor woman, and at the Ranie time correct a great wrong. 1 hojw that In the future facts may be ubtalned instead of hearsay.

Iet the public speak on the subject. There has been too much claim too little proof Claims made by strangers are not proof. Claims endorsed by strangers are not proofs. There Is only one kind of proof for a Brattle boro citUen. The exiierlenco of people we know. When friends and neighbors endorse. Make public statement of their case. There can be uo ipiestlou about such evidence. This Is the proof which we have. Which backs every tiox of poau's Kidney Villa. No other Kidney Pills, no other kidney remedy Can produce such proof.

Asa rule it would bother me more after my day's work. If I s.it still for any length of time a stitch would catch me in the loins, If I caught cold it always nettled In my back ami, made it lame and sore for some days, I also 'had a kid ney weakness which made it very. Inconvenient at times and especially nnnoylng at;nlght, I used considerable medicine but got little or no benefit, I saw Dean's Kidney Pills advertised and bo well recommended by others that I was induced to get a box at Durgln's drug store. In them I found tho longed for relief. They helped me In every way nnd did me more good than anything elso I ever took. I know Doan's Kidney Pills to be a good honest remedy, one that will stand on It's own merits. I do not say this from heresny but from my own jiersonal experience.
