could receive nomination at the hands Of Republican
Convention. But Mr. Blaine is very lion in their path
They dare not meet and cannot flank him. Consequently
they cultivate the grace Of patience and "earn labor
and TO wait" MI Blaine's Congressional career has
been very able very brilliant and very successful His
constituents are the least bit proud Of and are determined
70 stand by him.

FOURTH DISTRICT.
The Republicans OF the WITH District hold their
ton Bangor the 10th of June. The present incum
bent is John A. Peters of Bangor, gentleman scholar
and wit He is serving his second term, and is so
enfeebled by constant and unrentng attentions TO the
oce-seekers in his district that is said he will not
dered him The TJrnor maj fine Hon Lewis Barker Is a
candidate against him suntrue Mr. Barker pronounces
II malicious. The latter gentleman Is well known as
marye0usly effective stump-speaker and, having ac-
qured competence in the practice of the law, has gwen
considerable attention of late to Saving the country

benefit is the JOllest suggestion OF the season.
