pecuniary sense as they should; and the fund
derived from them did not 60 far towards al
leviating the sufferings of the needy ones in

We sincerely hope our citizens will respond
generously, and SO assist the boys that their
undertaking will prove an entire success.
The various com mittees appointed to make
the entire arrangements for the fair, will sole.

their different departments, and doubtless a
fine show will be made. In order that the

In the dark days of war when the fathers

: PORTLAND RErRKsANTATrvEs m THE LEors-
LATUaE-The citizens Of Portland have reason
70 congratulate themselves ON the ability and
industry Of the four gentlemen who have rep
resented the city at Augusta this winter The
manner in which Mr. Drummond has perform
ed the duties of presiding officer has Justified
the confidence Of his party associates in unan-
imously selecting him for the Spsakership.-
There is not in the State Mr.. Drummond's SUI
perior as parliamentarian, or any gentleman
who has greater facility in the prompt dispatch
of public business. He has not, however, con-
fined himself entirely to the duties OF the
Speakssship, but has taken an active part IN
debate ON several occasions when the interests
Of his constituents were atstake. On the floor
his influence has been powerfully felt on the
side of questions that he has espoused.
Mr. Morris, the senior member of our dele.
CATION, has gained confidence and strength
with each successive term of his service. until
the third year has placed him among the very
foremost members of the House in influence
and in legislative skill. His speeches this win
ter have been carefully prepared and each one
has had great effect. His speech on reciproci-
ty possesses perhaps as much permanent value,
on account of it's wealth of statistical informa-
ton and the logical force with which facts are
marshalled to the support of liberal CONNER
cial policy, as any delivered in either branch
during the winter. We hope sometime to lay
it befors our readers in full, though the time
has gone by when Maine can do anything in
her own behalf in respect to reciprocity.
Mr.. Reeds second term at Augusta has more
than satisfied the warmest anticipations OF his
friends. His position has been in several re-
speets a trying one. He is one Of the young
est members of the House, and at the same
time the actual though not the nominal leader
of that body. Besides, his views are several
decades in advance of those OF majority Of
the members on several OF the most important
topics that came before the House for consid-
GRAFTON. But his readiness and skill in debate,
his solid legal requirements and general cul-
ture together with his strong personal indu-
ence have given him beyond controversy the
leading position which we have assigned to
him.
Mr.. Twitchsll, who has served but single
term but who richly deserves many more, il
entitled to equal praise with his associates
| For a new member he secured the confidence
and respect of the House in remarkable de-
gree. He is a diligent worker in committee
and on the floor, and has bsen especially watch
full of the interests of his constituents. .
