REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
FOR GOVERNOR:
SELDEN CONNOR
of Augusta.
of Augusta.
The County Nominees.

The ticket adopted by the Republican con-
vention yesterday, is one that richly deserves
an election at the hands of the Republicans
of Cumbe rland county. Judged on the
score OF party fealty or of integrity and ca
pacity every candidate is fully worthy 10 fill
the office for which he is presented. The
denomination by acclamation of Senators
Vinton, Tolman, Bailey, and Nutter, was
well deserved tribute to their faithful and
able services in the Legislature of last year.
Mr.. Nutter's declination on account of BUST
ness engagements is to be regretted, but the
convention was exceedingly fortunate in pro-
during so worthy substitute as Mr..
Reuben Higgins of Cape Elizabeth. Mr..
Higgins has been prominent in the affairs of
his own town, and has always enjoyed the
confidence and respect of his fellow towns
men.
1t is no dsparagement to the other gentle
men whose names were presented for
candidate for County Commissioner to say
that in the selection of Mr.. Leander E. Cram
OF Baldwin the convention acted judiciously.
~HA' SA"lA SOANCu LIS COuutLy IulCC ycdLo III
the army. His own townsmen who known
him best endorse him as gentleman whose
qualifications are undoubted, and they have
repeatedly indicated their confidence by
electing him to the highest offices in their
gift. At present he is chairman of the
board of Selectmen.
Mr.. Frank G.. Stevens of Deering, who
was selected as candidate for Register. of
Deeds is gentleman whose training has
eminently fitted. him to discharge the i'm
portant duties of that Office. At present he
is filling a responsible position on the New
York and New England railroad. He was
formerly connected with the firm of Augustus
E. Stevens & Co. of this city. There is no
doubt but that under his management the
registry of deeds will be carefully and capably
conducted.
The fidelity and ability with which Mr.
Lewis Mcclellan has managed the county's
finances were fity recognized by his renomin-
alton as Treasurer by acclamation, and his
election will be guarantee that this impor-
tant Office is to remain in safe and competent
hands.

The Democratic Blunder.

There is nothing more amusing
than the confidence placed by MAINE
Democrats in the hasty declarations of Re-
publicans who are momentarily vexed at the
defeat by the party of their pet schemes or
tavorite candidates. The action of the
Democratic convention Tuesday was con-
fessedly shaped to the end to secure dsaf-
fected Republican votes, and its leaders,
shrewd men in all other affairs, and not given
to implicit trust in the professions of their
followers, really believed that they have
good chance Of carrying the state. The hal
Inclination is not new one. For ten years
past every Democratic State Convention has
met in joyous mood, indulging in the belief
that in September there was 10 be greet Re-
publican bolt which would give the Democ-
racy the control of the state. Ten Septem-
bers have brought Republican victory, and
the deserters from the Republican standard
have been few. Occasionally leader, disap-
pointed In his hope of prelerment, would. 60
over to the enemy, but could carry none of
the rank and file with him, and would only
succeed in strengthening the likeness of the
Democratic party to Artemas Wards COM
pany, in which every man but one was an
officer. Still the Democracy, true to their
nature, learn nothing from experience. Their
old men dream dreams of, and their young
men see visions of, Democratic victories in
Maine. This year they are as confident as
in the johnson and Greeley times, and with
as little reason.
But whatever chances they may have to
win disaffected Republic an votes they invari-
ably throw away. With all their anxiety to
secure allies, they never can bring themselves
to offer terms which those desiring to form
an alliance can accept. In all the years that
they have been fishing for Repu blican votes
they have fished with bare hooks, and have
not droppeda bait that even gudgeon would
bite at. They have never framed platform
on which Republican could consistently
stand; indeed their platforms have mostly
been of scant width for members of their own
party. The old mistake has been repeated
this year. Evidently the polite thing for the
Democrats to do was to fatter those Republi-
cans, if any there be. whose zeal for the Ad-
minstraton so far outruns their discretion
and their sense Of loyalty to the party that
they are willing to bolt the regular nomina-
ton. Instead Of doing this, they went out
of thoir way to insult these men, by denounc.
ing as fraudulent the election of the man
whose especial friends and Supporters the re-
calcitrants assume to be. Thus the Democ-
racy deprived disafected Republicans Of all
pretext for supporting the nominee of the
Portland convention. This year, as in years
past, the Republicans find success greatly ia
cslitated by Democratic blunders.

The Georgia Constitutional Convention
has decided by vote of 166 to Is to engraft
upon the organic law prohibition against
the payment of lawful debt. The securi'
ties thus repudated are known as the Bull
lock railroad bonds and amount 10 5000
0OO. They have never been declared fraudu-
le1t or illegal by the courts of the State. The
Convention is reckless and unprecedented In
its treatment of the subject. 1t will not per-
NIT the question as to the legality of the
bonds to be submitted to court. 1t closed
its doors against Jere Black who appeared TO
argue the case for the bondholders, as it also
refused verbal statement from Democratic
ex-senator Norwood. And when ex.Goyern-
or jenkins proposed that the validity of the
bonds be submitted 10 Democratic court,
without the right of appeal, Bob Toombs
fought the suggestion with success. The
whole thing is fagrant. naked, rascally re-
pudiation. But the blame does n OF rest
alone with the Convention. The people back
OF the Convention are also responsible for the
act. Last May the citizens of the State
adopted, by a large majority, an amendment
to the old Constitution Of the same purport
os the provision now put into the new instru-
ment. That vote was virtual instruction to
their delegates to the Convention to repudi-
ate the Bullock bonds. The people aud the
Convention share the shame.

THE reduction in wages for the past FIVE
years is estimated at about thirty per cent;
the reduction in the prices of the necessities
OF life is about the same. The difficulty is
not so much in the small amount of money
that can be earned as in finding work at any
rates, and the trouble can only be overcome
by such perfect reconciliation between labor
and capital as will restore the confidence OF
those who have capital to invest.
