was permitted to say that Mr.. Morrill, would
not accept the nomination if he should receive 4
every vote of the convention, as he had un- 4

Mr.. Roberts, Of Stockton, indicating consid- /
cradle excitement, took the platform and SAID
that he had circulatedvotes for Mr.. Morrill,,

but from desire TO get the party out of fix
He respected Gen. Chamberlain, and would
support him if he was nominated. A The last
part Of the speech was Interrupted BY applause
and strong indications of disapproval, which
were quelled by the President, by ealing Mr..
Roberts to order, whoscould only be allowed to
speak by general consent. ;M.iaa aesi saslsil

vote for him butt know many win not; the
way to get out Of the difficulty is to nominate
Hon. Lot NJ Morrill,; he belongs to the State
and cannot decline Ii he is nominated he
will get every Republican vote in the State.
Great noise ensued, and cheers for the name of
Chamberlain. AtA sS
Gen.shepley rose and said For three sue
cessive years leading and talented citizen has
been called to preside over the affairs of our
State, who, for five years previous to that serv-
ed the country with honor, ability and patriot
ism in the war of the rebellion. And now his
personal desires are that he may retire to the
rest OF private life, and recuperate his energies
and his means, both of which he has spent in
war and in civil life. I then nominate the
Christian soldier, the gallant, self-saerifcng
patri,t, and the accomplished gentleman, GEN.
JOSHUA L. CHAMBERLAIN, on the part of NO
clique, but as member of the great Republi-
can party Of the country. How gallantly he
has borne himself is known and read Of all
men. His record is known, and, in Difference
to the peoples call, present his name. They
know that he is true, honorable, temperate,
faithful to any trust and he has advocated
every measure, moralor material to prom ote
the interest of the State of Maine. + A1s,.sd
Hon. A. G.. Jewett Of Belfast seconded the
nomination. He said that three years ago
Gen. Chamberlain was called upon to preside
over our State affairs, and he has done it WELL

ceived tho formal surrender of Gen. Lee under
Grant. would as soon have tried to oppose
him then and side with the rebellion as to
break him down now. M @ 'A@A
