II we needed the services OF a great
master Of eloquence and rhetoric, and one
specially happy in illustrations, we should
lay a hand OIL f. +. Webb, of Watcryille,
and say = thou art the man.. Webb pre-
sided at the oflice-holdcrs convention, at
Augusta, last week. Oh, eloquence,
thou vast nndone" when this Webb was
spun out upon the platform. Webb went
for the Democratic party, in such a spread
as has seldom been seen Of gods or men.
1t Wasthis shocking party which brought
forth the greatest nest Of traitors that has
existed in one country since the morning
Of the creation" All this said Webb.
And then he dropped into Scripture illus
tration Hear him, still harping on the
Democracy
But, be it remembered, that it eliminated in
1861, when Mr.. Lincoln was elected President
for he was Republican and the Democracy
were taken captives and carried to Babylon
and they " hung their harpS upon the willows
by the streams of Babylon, and lifted up their
voices and wept.'
1t doesn't matter to this imprisoned
orator that he drops out here and there a
portion of Scripture, and 50 perverts its
meaning. The Bible says that Gods
chosen people carried into Babylonish
captivity, "wept when they remembered
Zion" And it further speaks of Babylon
as " the mother Of harlots' So it will be
seen that the Democracy were captured
by a pretty hard set And we are consoled
by the Biblical record that Babylon the
great and wicked at length fell, and the
captives were released. Blessings on Webb
for the confession. Long may he wave,

Republican State Convention.

The Republican State Convention which
assembled at Augusta last week, was
chiefly remarkable for the large number
of federal and state officials that entered
into its composition. In respect to the re-
cipicnts of government bounty, it rcsem-
bled one Of those annual asscmblagcs OF
the tribes of the plains, who get together
to secure the charitable dispensations Of
the Great Father at Washington. The
Indians have one advantage. No one OF
their warriors, OF chiefs, or talking men,
OF medicine men has ever afflicted the ear
of civilization with such harrangue as
the one put forth by the chairman of the
Augusta conclave. Webb of Waterville-

The speech by Hon. T. B. Reed, of Port
land was q fair and courteous presenta-
ton OF views upon the finances. as well
as thoroughly sound
The denomination OF Gov. Dingley was
q matter of course. Nothing can be urged
against him On personal grounds. He has
attended to the interests of the State with
scrupulous fidelity, and devoted more than
the customary time to the careful dis
charge of his duties. We can oppose him
only as the representative man of the par
ty in power, whose general administra-
ton of the affairs Of state and nation has
not been for its best interests
The resolutions open with the DECLARE
ton that "the Republican party should not
be content with the past record" Well,
we think 50 too. We really wish that If
was better But ii must be confessed that
the party bears up under it with singular
fortitude, and tries hard to conceal it, The
resolutions tavoring 4 specie basis, and
commanding the Presidents veto Of lnfa-
ton are all that could be desired on those
points

The resolution endorsing prohibition
