AUGUSTA, Aug. S.-The Republican State
Convention, which takes place here tomorrow.
judging from the newspaper representatives
present, excites more than local interest. But
few delegates have arrived up to this evening"
and the indications are that the convention will
not be large. The leading men who will shape
the course of proceedings are here and there is
no doubt that majority of them are opposed
to passing resolution endorsing the national
administration. The question is quite freely
discussed and for the sake of harmony those
opposed to the policy would probably compro.
mise by having no resolution on national az
fairs. Whether this will be accepted by the
administration men cannot now be stated, but
the indications are that it will not

A special train from Portland will arrive in
the morning and the towns on the route and in
the central portion of the state will be repre-
