Gen. GrCvet has row national repu-
tation. aid ihe:e is no serd Tor pe TO
tell your readers sbout tbat; bat eitn,r
my college associs ions, or vther ike
reasons, lead me TO enisrlain the kindliest
feelings for him, and b cherish the hope
that he will win 70 Influential position in
the Senate.
Mr. Dunpell appears to hive won the
abiding confidence of his constituents, for
at each biennial election his majority
seems 10 increase. He has y strong and
important position 10 his ps,lY ia the
House, and wields Il large i"fFence.
Judge Howe has grown gray in the
senatorial service. He holds evenly and
calmly good reputation es a man ol
sense and judicial altaiumeDts.
Messrs. Deering and Bisbee come here
with regulations OF high character and
excellent standing. Mr.. d. has had in
Maine and in his adop,ed State so much
legislative experience that he will soon
acquire the routine OF this new business
here, and will be very useful mau. Mr..
Bisbee is good lawyer, and quite able
10 hold his own IN Congress, as well rs
be has done in the courts; though from
Florida he is no "carpet.bsgger," bat q
bona fde resident OF that State.
OUR OWN DELEGATION.
1t Is not necessary for me to talk OF
Blaine, or Frye. or Hale, for the people
OF our State know them too well. and
watch their career too constantly and too
affeclionately to give me any chance 10
inform them at any point about their illus
lrious representatives. Our new men,
Reed and Powers, have started well
Reed at some possible disadvantage, for
very high expectations are had OF him.
Thus you will see that while Maine has
not in numbers as many of her sons in
Congress bow as at certain former times,
she is very ably and honorably represent.
cd by some of the foremost and best men
in the Senate and in the House. She can
honestly be very proud of these, her sons,
and those she has educated.
MAINE MEN IN OFFICE HERE.
While, as it were, cataIoguing the
Maine men in Congress, it seems quite
proper TO mention those holding office
J here, and the number is now very small,
