Maine.

While the presidential nomination
was of course deep disappointment to
the republicans of Maine, they have
promptly and cordially responded to the
nomination of Hayes. In many places
in that state impromptu gatherings were
held, salutes fired, &c. At Portland on
Saturday evening, they ratified the NOM
nation in very enthusiastic manner
At this meeting Mr.. Reed made an able
and telling speech, referring to a period
10 years ago when the favorite of the
republicans was w. II. Seward, but Lin
coin was nominated instead of the great
est statesman this country ever saw
But history repeats itself to-day. There
is the same disappointment, Yet in
Hayes the republican party no doubt
will find another God-given leader.
Speaking of Blaine. Mr.. Reed said
We have been watching his magnif-
cent career, and have seen him dav bv
day leave dead confederate on the
floor of the House (Great applause
and cheers.) We have not lost him as
our leader. He will again lead us "
The speaker believed that there was a
Providence in politics. "The republi.
ban party is greater than its leaders and
mightier than its statesmen. 1t is the
embodiment of the honesty. progress
and intelligence of America I,oud
applause.) He closed with an earnest
eulogy of Hayes and Wheeler. Said
he, " We know Gen. Hayes to be pure
and honest He has always achieved
victory, and will again" loud ap-
plause.)

On the Nomination,

ed his congratulations to him, saying he
believed he would be his (Grants) sue
cessor.
Gen. Sherman said Hayes is one o.
the most straightforward, upright men
that ever lived.
Senator Morton said the nominations
were excellent, and the success of the
ticket assured.
Senator Conkling said the ticket was
an excellent one. 81 know Governor
Hayes personally. | have the highest
admiration for his qualifications as a
gentleman and statesman. He is the
hardest OF hard money men, and his
ability is unquestioned
In giving his opinion of the ticket
Secretary Bristow was, if possible, even
more enthusiastic than Senator Conk-
ling. He eulogized Hayes and said that
he telegraphed two days ago to Senator
Harlan to transfer his (Bristow's) dele
gates to Hayes as soon as he deemed it
expedient.

had been for him. Four Of the New
England states were little less than solid
against him, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut 1t
seems strange that he should have been
thus slaughtered, but so it was.
The delegates have acted in accord
ance with their judgment, and it must
be conceded that on the ground, assem-
bled with the representative republicans
from all parts of the country, their re-
sources for making up their judgment,
and considering all the circumstances,
may have been better than those of the
people at home. There is no sacrifice of
republican principles, they have given
us strong ticket, composed of men good
and true and of unquestioned integrity,
With them there will be no side issues
to carry, and already many of the Gree
ley republicans of 1872 have announced
their determination to support them, and
in various parts of the country the tick

The Governor.

The governor question stands precisely
as announced in this paper several weeks
since, when we stated that there was nc
unanimity either in the state or this
county. 1t is thoroughly mixed. Mr..
Estey will have majority of the dele
gates from this county. A few are for
Harris, for Mead, one town issuppos-
ed to be for Peck and few like those OF
Grafton are unpledged. We believe the
position last named is the true one both
for this county and the state.
We propose this week to be "indis-
Greet enough to mention one other
thing.
Somebody " in the beginning" started
the claim of Windham county" and
In the county and out of the county it
has been freely conceded to Windham
county" Very WELL Now is it neces-
sary that every time the governor is
conceded to Windham county that the
good town Of Brattleboro should be com
pelledG) to receive the nomination Es-
pecially when we have at this end of the
county, in several towns, men whose
ability to perform the executive duties
OF the state equal to those of the ex-
cellent and highly respectable gentlemen
who are named at Brattleboro. On this
point it is impossible that there should
be any question, and if by any possible
event it should be given to some other
town, we take it that it will not invali-
date the honor of being in Windham
county.
If it is an honor to town, Brattle-
boro certainly ought and will be gener-
Gus enough to concede it to some other
section of the county.
DO you ask why some other man has
not been presented? We answer that
no other man was willing, nor we're his
friends willing, to engage in any hot
house campaign for the position if any
one is wanted and the people call for
him, he will doubtless accept, and in all
fairness, with malice toward none"
we submit this indiscretion I" to the
people of this county and of the state,
and may the Lord hasten the day when
hot house campaigns for high positions
Of honor shall be known no more in this
state, and that those who occupy them
shall do so because they are called for
and wanted by the people.

The Potato Beetle.

We have given considerable space to
this subject on first page, Mr.. c. F.
Young, of the Delaware & Hudson Can.
al Co., has a farm at Honesdale, Pa,
where the bugs were very destructive
last year. He saved his entire crop of
about 1000 bushels by using Paris green
and ground plaster, one pound of the
former being mixed thoroughly with
twenty pounds of the latter, sifted on
the vines when the dew is on. If the
operator, says Mr.. Young, keeps on the
windward side of the sieve, no harm will
come to him from the poison. He says
the crop in his vicinity was entirely ruin
ed in all cases where the application of
this remedy was neglected.

The Nominations.

The result of the work of the national
republican convention, has been received
IN this section with much disappoint.
ment. The events at Washington dur
ing the two weeks preceding the assem-
bling of that body, had greatly intensi-
fed the feeling in favor of Mr.. Blaine
and many who had never put him down
as their first .choice, nevertheless found
themselves irresistibly in the current OF
the great New England statesman. His
defeat therefore was sharp disappoint-
ment, and to many the nomination of
Hayes was at first received coolly, but
1t is wonderful to see how the second
thought has rallied all republicans to
concede the strength of the nomination
finally made.
Gov. Hayes made splendid run for
governor in Ohio last year, making a
republican gain of over twenty thousand
where the year before there had been q
democratic majority of more than H..
600, and was elected by over 5000 ma.
