The most important development in this
nomination is the actual reputation Of George
Evans by the wings of Kennebec. Out of 1874
votes he received only thirty tsoo! in Old Ken
nebec, for nomination to Congress. Is that not
a pretty broad hint of the waning popularity of
Kennebec's once tavorite son; and does it not
fully sustain Daniel Webster's opinion of the
man-that he was politically dead in his own
district? 1t is. too IAN emphatic demonstration
of the standing of Scott in Central Me. Geo.
Evans had identified his destinies with Scott.
He fought for him in the State Convention at
Portland, and he was his champion at the Scott
ratification meetings in Augusta and Gardiner.
Have not the Webster papers charged upon
him the responsibility of the nomination at
Baltimore And this champion who was to
be the leader of the Scott host in Maine, is thus
summarily thrown overheard. Democrats,
look at it. 1t is but the precursor of the final
overthrow of the Scott forces in Maine in No
veInber next.
