Hugh Moore and Roby G. Stone began to publish the Republican. The latter
had served an apprenticeship of tens years in the office of the Burlington
Sentinel and printed, edited and owned for more than a quarter of a
century the Plattsburgh Republican. He was a native of Bolton, Vt.
and the last of the family bearing the name of Stone. From 1827 he held a
commission in the militia and after his removal to the western side of the lake,
was brigade inspector 17 years and later inspector of the fourth division of
N.Y. State militia. His interest in Vermont never changed and in 1862 he
attended 38 commencements at UVM. He remained through life a Democrat of
the most uncompromising type.
At the Phoenix Hotel, Whitehall, a meeting of delegates from Clinton, Essex and Washington counties was held for the purpose of "deliberating upon the propriety of petitioning the Legislature for aid in opening a road (not a railroad) on the western margin of Lake Champlain, leading from Whitehall to the Canada line." It was resolved to petition the Legislature. The chairman of the meeting was Melancton Wheeler with Richard D. Arthur and D. B. McNeil, Secretaries.
