The Nominee Of the Fifth Dis
frfCt.

tI1CGs
The republican convention OF the Filth
Congressional District put in nomination
man whom it should be pleasure for
every republican and honest voter OF the
district to suppot-Seth L. Milliken Of
Belfast Mr.. Milliken received IA of
the 226 votes cast in the convention, and
one of his competitors. Mr.. Simcnton OF
Camden. Immediately moved that the
nomination be made unanimous.
Mr.. Milliken was born in the district
which has nominated him for Congress,
in the town OF Camden. Early in life he
was obliged to depend upon his own ex-
ertions for support, and right manfully
he struggled, not only for living but for
an education and an honorable rank
among his associates. When he had ac-
quired sufficient education to qualify him
for teaching he became teacher in the
common schools, and among his warmest
friends now are the pupils that he had
under his instruction then. Final
~. after a hard struggle he fitted for
college, and entered and graduated at
Union College, New York. Possessing
genial temper, fine address. excellent
habits and a bright intellect, he made
friends and pushed his way along success
fully. He was elected to the Legislature
before he was twenty-one years of age.
reaching his majority however in sufficient
season to take his seat in that body. Max
ing his residence in Belfast, he studied
and practiced law there, and at length
was chosen clerk Of the courts tor Waldo
county. which position he held about nine
years Mr.. Milliken is one of the best
and most effective public speakers in the
State. He has done yeoman service both
in this and other States. In New York
and Massachusetts he has always been a
popular speaker, never failing to be
called upon or to respond satisfactorily
when the campaigns were hot and excit-
ing. He is a republican through and
through, a gentleman in manners and APP
pearancc, a man of the right stamp to
stand by his constituents faithfully and to
make his mark in Congress.
Our friends in the fifth district have a
close fight on their hands but they have
made splendid beginning and with prop
er effort they will elect Mr.. Milliken and
redeem their district from fusion misrule.
