The Republican Convention of Maine did

the coiItmry, but the ticket Is mrclya local matter
while the platform l. of national interest and the
platform III most Of It's sections Is very poor affair
But even II were better Il would have no title to
respect or confidence, The convention that passed
II deliberately refmined from uitering a word OF
comncndntiOn Of the policy Of President Hayes
although that pollcy T. shaped IN exact accordance
with the demands Of the STATE Republican and
National Republican platforms Of last year. The
refusal TO ndDrs" the lrl~ldcnt, therefore j. con.
frssion that the party did not mean what Il said
then: aud the fair inference Is that II does not
mean what II ays now, when II ventures To ask for
any real reform. That II Is not siucerc utteranee
II shown by the fact that while Il demands civil
service reform II attempts To prNc from the con.
duct of Federal officials IN Maine that such reform
i not n,'edc'i. In fact, the platform t. shuflc
II j. shaped In accordance with the theory I'D.
