The Nomination.

The nomination at Chicago commends
itself. 1t stands in need of no praise. General
Garfield is man whom Republicans have
for years delighted to honor, man whose
party allegiance has never been questioned,
but whose partisanship has always been
tempered by broad and liberal views, and
jealous regard for justice; a man of the peo-
pie sprung from New England ancestry and
exhibiting to their fullest the honesty, the
courage, the perseverance, the moral
strength and the intellec ual power that
mark that noble strain. Is citizen, soldier
and statesman he has acquitted himself
loyalty and well. Recognizing his great
merits and devoted and unselfish services
and the grand principles he represents the
people will see to it that his election is
made sure.
The Convention well discharged its high
and delicate task and made an admirable se-
lection. 1t has put forward man who will
not only command the full strength of the
party, but the support as well of the indie
pendent voters. The name of General Gar
field is tower of strength and no man,
except Senator Blaine, could be more accep-
table to the Republicans of the State of
Maine While their disappointment is keen
because of the failure of the Convention to
accept the man of their choice, they will not
suffer that disappointment to lessen their
zeal j and animated by the magnanimous
spirit of their great leader, they pledge a
cordial and united support to the nominee.
No sulkiness will be shown or is felt, and
Indifference is not characteristic of Maine
Republicans. With courage unabated, with
high and well-founded hopes of success
they go into the conflict animated bv the
confidence that Maine, for the seventh time,
will cast its electoral vote for the Republi-
can nominee.

ONE of the nomination speeches was not
telegraphed. Previous to the assembling OF
the Convention Conkling, Hoar and others
visited the hall in company with Hon. w.
J. Hynes, Chicago Democrat, who pos
sesses one of the best mass-meeting voices
in the country. The question of acoustics
was mooted, and Hynes was selected to
mount the platform and make the expert
ment, when he delivered the following:
"Fellow-citizens: This is momentous oc-
casion. This is great country. 1t is here
the bird of freedom was born. 1t is here
that he stood with one claw OH the Rocky

A Republican State Convention
WILL BE HELD IN
GRANITE HALL, AUGUSTA,
Wednesday, June 23, 1880
AT III O'Clock A. NJ,

or the purpose Of nominating a candidate for Gov
and two candidates for Electors of President and
Vice President of the United States, and to trans
act any other business that may properly come be-
fore the Convention.
The basis of representation will be as follows:
Each cth, town and plantation will be entitled to
delegate, and for every seventy-fve votes cast
for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1879
an additional delegate and fraction of forty votes
in of seventy five will be accorded delegate
The State Committee will be in session in the
ante-room of the Hall at o'clock, on the morning
of the Convention, to receive the credentials of
delegates.
For the first time in the history of Maine the at
tempt was made in 1879 to deprive the people of
the right to choose their officers, and to cor
ruptly continue in power those whom the people
had rejected. The authors, abettors and accom-
plices in this crime against free government are
now seeking to come before the people under some
new party name-availing themselves of an alias,
the common resort of those who seek to escape the
responsibility and punishment of their crimes
Against these men, under whatever name they
may appear, all those citizens who condemn the
nefarious plot to destroy the right of suffrage
invited to unite without regard to past party ali-
ations, to preserve honest Government for the hon
est people of Maine.
