The State Convention on Thursday last
week of the Republicans, was very fully
attended. and was entirely harmonious
Governor Chamberlain was re-nominated
by reclamation. This was what every one
was expecting, and what was justly due to
the incumbent. Not a member of that
large Convention desired new man.
We take the account Of the proceedings
which we publish from the Portland daily
Press. 1t is the fullest Of any we have yet
seen, and better than any we could write.
We invite the. attention of the reader to
the resolutions.
The speeches were, really good. Sena-
tor Morrill, speaks very deliberately and
care fully, and yet with enough Of earnest
ness and force 10 interest an audience
We thought his remarks were, on tho
whole, very good. and some of his points
were most admirably made.
Mr.. Pike has more pith and spice. and
almost always occupies his time in enun-
ciatiug views of his own. lie makes a
capital speech when aroused,-on full Of
fire and point.
Mr.. Peters is witty and sparkling. The
audience began to smile as he assembled
