same great contest, stood size by side
with those from all other parts Of the
country and did their duty for tho pres

proved by their energy, their patriotism

loyal citizens of this grand republic,
giving them their support and prayers,
with their hearts full of hope for their
success. And as liberty first found

there have found true hearts for it.

but of that liberty which God intended
for all men.
let that which followed as a result
Of its preservation not now be lost.
This can only be done by keeping the
control of the institutions of this couu-
try in the hands Of those who sought to
maintain them. This people believes
in the fundamental principles of repub-
hcan government. The same rule also
applies in their selection of agents for
the administration of the government.

In 1884 Maine will give as gall2nt a

ORGANIZING BLAINE CLUBS.
Since the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine
there have been a number OF Blaine
clubs organized throughout the state,
the first one being formed ina Portland
within two-hours after the telegraph
announced the action of the conven-
tiOn. 1t is expected that the secretary
Of the Republican State committee
will soon send circulars through the
state urging the formation Of
such clubs wherever there
has been no movement to that effect.
The badges for these clubs will probably
be pine cone and an eagle, but the
precise form has not yet been decided
upon. 1t has been suggested that these
clubs be named the "Tattooed clubs,
INT they VIII probably AL be called
elaine clubs or "Plumed knights.
