ToBEY CANDoR in letter to the Boston
Journal on congressional politics in this state,
has this to say concerning the First District: !:
In the First District it is apparent that the
Republicans will throw Mr.. Burleigh over
board and take new man. Cumberland coun-
ty is ripe for such a movement. while in York,
where Mr.. Burleigh belongs, the pushing of his
fortunes for third term meets with slim sup.
port. The choice of Thomas B. Reed of Port
land, as Burleigh's successor has already de-
veloped strength which presages success A
better nomination could not be made. Mr.
Reed is young man of sterling integrity and
unusual ability, and is in hearty accord with
the views of the representative men of the
party. He is life long Republican, has seen
service in the Legislature, has been States At
torney, and also enjoyed other honors. He is
graduate of Bowdoin, and is lawyer by pro-
fession. He is clean and thoroughly honest,
and, if nominated, would carry that district by
a larger majority than it has been carried for
many years, aud put an end to any more politi-
cal accidents in that district.
