the late Confederacy is present at the Nation

with no recognition from the delegates, and
after cropping around behind the celebrities, he
slowly and unattended left the room. The

1t is one of the traditions of Democracy that
every gathering of Republicans, however great
In numbers or wild in enthusiasm, is "stale,
nat and improbable" affair, remarkable only
for its lack of spirit and its paucity of num-
bers, 1t is a matter for sincere congratulation
that the Republican Convention held in this
city yesterday was SO undeniably gathering
of immense size and unprecedented enthusi-
asm that the reckless mendacity of Copper
headism itself will not dare depreciate it. The
two Conventions were the most successful DO
ltical gatherings that ever assembled in Maine
The enemy were beginning to dream that they
could go on framing their shameful repudia-
ton platforms and nominating their candidate
twice branded by the people with the mark of
shame, and that, after all, the Republicans,
overcome by a fatal apathy, would let the cleo
tion 60 by default -4 erz
Yesterday undeceived them. In the midst
OF the busiest season of the year they saw the
sturdy, freedom-loving yeomanry Of Maine
rally in a mass to pledge anew their best efforts
to secure final triumph of the great princi-
pies which are so dear to every patriotic heart.
While their own Convention at New York
continues in ceaseless wrangling its efforts to
enect reconciliation of widely divergent
views of principles and men, they saw the Re-
publicans of Maine nominate soldier candi-
date by acclamation and adopt a righteous
declaration of faith without dissent.
The fine appearance and dignifed demeanor
OF the delegates was matter OF general re-
mark SO fine q class of men could not have
been gathered by resort to those arts which
are often efficacious in crowding Democratic
halls. Even stray Copperheads who CHANGED
to enter City Hall were constrained to ackpowl
edge that the substantial men of the State
were there.
Some idea of the grand rally may be gather
ed from the fact that the Machias boat alone
brought three hundred persons to attend the
Conventions, while the train that brought del
egates and citizens from the Eastern part of
the State, was composed of thirty-one cars,
These delegates brought with them the Show
hogan and Gardiner Bands, and as they march
ed through the streets, escorted by the Port
land Army and Navy Union, they carried two
flags and an elegant portrait of Grant.
