FINE GOWNS FOR THE BALL
spnpgied Nets, Silver Rufiics and Ostrich
Feather Embellishments.


Spangled net is perfectly novel, never
having before figured in dress. 1t is very
brilliant by gas-light. The spangles are
small and are artistically scattered over the
net, producing rare and desirable texture
for the ball room. White net crystalized
with dapplings of beads and trimmed with
point lace and humming birds feathers Is
certainly very splendid texture for oere-
monious wear Cornucopim of various
kinds of loces are formed for skirt garni.

The large, enthusiastic and harmonious state
convention OF the Republicans of Maine in
Portland yesterday is most suspicious open
ing Of campaign which, if carried ON with
the purpose which seemed to move the con-
yenfion, will result in decisive victory. 1t is
an indication that Maine is weary of the shams
of demagogueS which came in with the Demo-
Greenback successes during the paste years
The harmony which characterized every pro-
ceeding shows that neither clique nor faction
will appear in the canvass, but that from
Aroostook to Kittery the Republicans will pre-
sent to the enemy solid front. The platform
of the convention, without referring to the
more advanced beliefs of many Republicans,
is q clear, concise and acceptable statement of
the creed to which all Republicans can sub
scribe. The election of COL Frederick Roble
as candidate for Governor seems to be very
fortunate one. A lifelong Republican, honor
ed ard respected by those who know him
best, familiar with the people of Maine having
long experience in the service OF the state. he
would seem to be the man for the occasion. The
Candidates for Congress, selected for the most
part with singular unanimity, appear to be
fortunate selections. Mr.. Reed has already
achieved national reputation by his consplc-
uous ability. Mr.. Dingley has been accorded
a place in the front rank OF members VINO
show a capacity for useful Congressional SER
vice. Capt, Boutelle is regarded as man OF
deep convictions and sterling integrity, which
commend him to Republican support and con-
fidence. Mr.. Milliken is man OF unques-
tened ability, amply able to takes place beside
his associates on the ticket. such was the
spirit, the expression and the work OF the rep
resentatiyes of the Republicansof Maine They
are the precursors of that victory which Re-
publicans Of that state confidently expect in
September.

Col. Robbie says and believes that he will be
the next Governor. He would make good
one without any doubt if he was elected, and
he may be. The prospect fer the Republicans
has not been SO bright for half dozen years as
it is to-day. The congressional nominations
were about what was expected. Reed and
Dingley have honored themselves and their
State, and nobody had the hardihood to oppose
Them Mr.. Lindsey has been quiet but use
full and trusted representative. Without max
ing speeches, he has served his State and his
party, and there will be many regrets that his
term is to be ended now. The two new men
who go on the ticket are both strong and able.
Capt. Boutelle is known as an editor and stump
speaker all over thecountry. He has the cour-
age of his convictions, and if he lacks dis
cretion-well, who does not? Mr.. Milllken,
like Capt. Boutelle, was an unsuccessful can
didate two years ago. He hopes for and ex-
poets better luck now and he will add strength
to the ticket. The first impression would be
that Capt. Boutelle would weaken it, but it is
fact not generally known that he ran ahead
of his ticket in the fourth district in 1880. The
platform is pretty stiff kind of document,
| of which we shall have more to say hereafter.
| As our dispatches indicate, this was large
| and harmonious convention. While there are
| thousands who regret the defeat of Mr.. Thorn
| as, they will not weaken in their adhesion to
the ticket. 1t is going to be this year about the
hottest fight the State ever saw, and where VIC
| tory will be found perching it is too early to
| predict The key note for the Republicans
| was struck by Mr. Eugene Hale, in the very
bright, sharp and closely condensed speech
| which we print elsewhere. His illusions to
| President Arthur will be found especially in
teresting by those who are watching the course
| Of political events.

but it is doubtful if many of the formerly dis
satisfied Republicans will adhere to their ranks
Practically. Mr.. Plaisted, who in years past
was Republican, will be dependent upon a
Democratic following for support. The Pro-
hibitionists are supposed to be still somewhat
divided, and, although the great body of them
will support the Republican ticket, there is 9
small set of impracticables who are never con.
tent without their own little organization
founded on one idea. In view of the declara-
tions of the Portland convention yesterday it is
hard to see how any party can be more prohib-
itory than the Republicans of Maine profess to
be- They are in favor of enforcing absolute
prohibition OF the liquor traffic in all parts OF
the State and incorporating it as permanent
policy in the State Constitution.

The Republican. Convention held in Portland
yesterday might be called, in the expressive
language of our esteemed neighbor, the Herald,
"a circus without jumbo" The circus was
lively enough while it lasted, and there were
present only two ordinary sized elephants
Frye and Hale-while the king of the herd,
Mr.. Blaine, was absent The aristocratic ele-
ments of the party in Cumberland and York
were bent on securing representation for once
on the ticket, and they put Mr.. William Wild
gerry Thomas, Jr., forward as fit and proper
person to be voted for at the polls. But, as
usual, the "rural deestricks :" carried the day,
and Mr.. Fred Robbie of Gorham was selected as
standard bearer. This was direct snub to
Eugene Hale and a sop to the extreme Prohib-
itory element, who are disposed to be "a little
of" just now. II was also service of notice
to the silver-tops of Portland who drink their
liquor like men at the clubs and preach prohi-
bition like towards on the stump that they are
not wanted just yet at the head of affairs
They may subscribe their money for campaign
expenses, as usual, but the safety OF the party
and the sanctity of the prohibitory statutes re-
quire the candidacy of some gentleman from
the country.

We have only time this morning to refer
briefly to the grand Republican convention, a
full report of which is given in our telegraphic
columns. 1t was the largest and most har-
monious political gathering that ever assem-
bled in the State, and the enthusiastic and
amicable manner in which the business was
transacted carries with it no uncertain sound.
1t means that the people are ON guard and that
they have entered the battle to win and Will
not lay down their arms until victory is stamp
ed apon their banner ALI personal prefer
ences have now been dropped and the Republl-
cans will present an unbroken front to the
enemy, and each aid every individual labor
for the success of the party whose glorious
deeds in the past form one of the most power
full incentives for united efforts in the future.

Yesterday was the anniversary observance at
the Home for Aged Women. The rooms and
halls were beautifully decorated with flowers,
and limited number of fancy articles were
displayed for sale, although there is not 80
much interest taken in the. making of these
articles by the inmates as formerly. Many i'm
much to the comfort of the guests. Everything
is kept in perfect order under the able manage
ment of Miss Dawley, the matron, who increas-
es in popularity every year. The elegant lawn
tennis grounds of Mr.. Ell. P. Storer fronting
the home add much to its beautiful surround
ings and are source of great pleasure to the
inmates. The home is now FULL the present
number of inmates being twenty-five.

Tbs Republican State Convention held at
Portland Tuesday was the grandest political
convention ever held in this State 1t was
large in numbers, and the character of the
delegates was such as any State might be
proud Of They were such men as lead in the
State in business and legislative affairs, in the
professions, in industrial pursuits in all that
goes to make the honor, dignity and prosperity
Of the State.
We have attended many State conventions,
but never one that excelled this in its makeup,
good temper, earnestness, enthusiasm and de-
termination to carry its banner to victory In
the contest that is to ensue. Think OF ARGOS
took sending sixty dolegate3 to Portland from
that far county to attend the convention, TAX
ing four days in which to accomplish the
Journey! Think of nearly every town and
plantation in a State of such area as Maine be-
ing represented by delegates from their ti own OWL
locality! These things speak OF live party,
earnest in purpose, willing to work and bound
to be victorious.
The contest for the nomination for Governor
between COL Robbie and Mr.. Thomas was
sharp, but there was no bad temper displayed
over it, no abuse of the candidates by those
who oppose them in the convention. When
the battle was over, the decision was hand
somely received by the defeated candidate, the
friends of Mr.. Thomas moving at once to
make the nomination unanimous. The con-
test was not strictly of personal character
both candidates being conceded to be worth
and fit for the ofice-it turned simply on the
matter of opinion among delegates as to which
of the two would carry the largest vote at the
polls.

The convention at Portland yesterday disap-
pointed that city, the largest in the State,
which never has had republican candidate
for governor. Frederick Robbie of Gorhan,
carried off the prize on the first ballot, having
thirty-fve votes above the number necessary
for nomination. The nominee is rich, popular
and an adroit politician, he was educated as
a DOCTOR served as paymaster in the army, has
been much in the House and twice its speaker,
and is a member of Plaisted's council and
grand master of the state grange. This nomi-
nation will precipitate into the campaign the
questions in dispute between the governor sand
his council, and on this point there have been
significant statements in republican papers to
the effect that PIaisted has much popular SYM
pathy. But. while the preliminary canvass
has developed bitterness and stronger nomi-
nation was easily possible, there is little reason
to doubt that the party will be substantially
united on Robbie. The congressional candi-
dates are Reed, Dingley, BouJelle and Milf
ken,-about what was expected.

Colonel Frederick ROBBIE has been named by
the Republicans of Maine as the next Cover
nor of that State, and the course of the canvass
will undoubtedly prove that the choice was
judicious. The convention showed that the
party is united and enthusiastic. The practical
subsistence of the Greenback craze leaves the
Republicans in a much better position than in
former campaigns. One of the marked
features of the gathering at Portland was the
presence of many men who have not acted
with the party for some years, but who now
have become disguised with Democratic fraud
and Greenback vagalies, and have resumed
their former political allegiance. Republican
success in Maine this fall seems certain.
