The Reception of Mr. Blaine

Nothing could be more hearty and gratify-
ing as tribute of personal respect and con-
fidence than the great ovation in honor of
Mr.. Blaine last evening. In the hall, from
which the seats had been removed, the ante
rooms and the corridors there were gathered
in the neighborhood of six thousand people,
a larger audience than was ever assembled
in the building before. All classes of our
fellow citizens and all shades of political
opinion were represented, and there was ap-
parently but one sentiment animatipg every
breast, desire 10 testify their esteem for.
and confidence, in the distinguished citizen
who now occupies so prominent place be-
fore the country.
All the proceedings were in keeping with
this fundamental idea, and there was moth
ing said to offend the prejudices or assault
the convictions of any who had come in good
faith to pay their respects to the eminent
citizen, rather than to the political leader.
Congressman's Reeds brief speech appropri-
ately voiced the common feeling and was
happily conceived and delivered. Mr..
Blaine's response to the strong and signifi-
cant address, read by Mr.. Woodman and en-
dorsed by the autograph signatures of hun
dreds OF the best known business men of
this city, was 10 perfect taste, graceful in
form, and delivered with feeling and impress
sive clog uence. The eager audience listened
o every word with genuine interest and
showed its qualification and cordial approval
by such applause as is seldom heard. After
wards thousands passed across the platform
where Mr.. Blaine stood cheerfully greeting
and shaking hands with all.
The terms of this address of the business
men of Portland, which is signed by Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans, are defiance
and denial of the charges which are made
against the integrity of the Republican can
didate by the Independents, and the address
comes in good time as response to the lat
est presentation of these charges by Mr..
Shurtz in his Brooklyn speech. These bust
ness men of Portland have become the en-
dorsers of the character of Mr.. Blaine before
the country and they are men whose names,
to whatever paper attached, will give it en-
tire credi. wherever it may go. 1t is this
which makes the proceeding of much signi-
ficance, and the paper placed in Mr.. Blaine's
hands last night he may well regard as one
of the most honorable and precious tributes
of bis career.
The Portland daily press., 1884-08-07

The County Convention transacted its
business yesterday in a very satisfactory
manner and nominated ticket which in all
its parts will commend itself to the people
of the county. There were no contests
except in the cases of Sheriff and District
Attorney. Sheriff True was renominated
by large majority, which, however, does
not mean that the party does not recognize
the merits of Mr.. Webb, bnt only that it
thinks SO well of the incumbent as to desire
to continue him in the office for another
term. In the contest tor the nomination for
District Attorney, Capt. Seiders triumphed
on the first ballot, although there were sew
eral candidates in the field, supported
with a good deal of earnestness by
their friends. The four candidates for
the State Senate were all nominated unani-
mously and by reclamation and they make
an uncommoply strong ticket, being men
who are popular with the people and who
have recognized qualifications for legislative
duty. The county Treasurer, and the Judge
and Register of Probate were each renom-
mated by common consent. signal tribute
to their acceptable fidelity.
The Portland daily press., 1884-08-07

The Lewiston Journal points out that the
decline in the carrying trade for which Mr.
Cleaves made the Republican party respon-
sible in his speech 10 the Democratic con-
vention, begun in 1856, and that in the next
five years it declined at the rate J per cent.
per annum. Yet Buchanan was then presi
dent, and the Democrats were In full con.
troll of Congress, so that the eanses under
which "our commerce has well-nigh diSap.
peared from the ocean" were at work long
before the Republicans came into control of
the government. Referring to Mr.. Cleayes's
assertion that our shipbuilding is also par
alyzed by Republican rule the Journal calls
his attention to the fact that only few
weeks ago all the Democratic members of
the House but ten voted for the free ship
amendment TO the Dingley bill, which
would eventually transfer the construction
of vessels for our foreign carrying trade to
the English ship yards, and strike a very seri-
Gus blow at our shipbuilding interests.

The Hon. Carl Schulz has delivered hial-
self OF bitter attack upon Mr.. Blaine. 1t
will be recollected that the same gentleman
bitterly assailed Gen. Grant when candi-

The Democrats will no doubt plume
themselves good deal over the result of the
municipal election in Portsmouth, n H., on
Tuesday. There is no good reason for 1t.
however. A large part of the votes which
elected the Democratic candidate were
thrown by Republicans. At the last mo
ment the Republican candidate declined,
and declared that he would not accept if
nominated, SO that really there was but one
candidate in the field.
The Portland daily press., 1884-08-07

The Hon. Daniel a. Thing is the gentle
man the Democrats of the Third district
have selected to run against the Hon. S. L.
Milliken. His selection amounts to virtu-
al confession of defeat in advance. Had the
Democrats believed that they had any chance
of electing their candidate they would not
have put in nom!nation Greenbacker. 1t
is only the empty honors which they confer
on gentlemen of that persuasion. The sub
stantial honors they are very particular to
reserve for themselves.

The Boston Advertiser says that "every
day or two evidence is received, in one form
or another, of the singular extent to which
party lines are kept up in Maine by the pen
alties of social or business ostIacism." None
of the evidence is given, and people who live
in Maine have not seen any. Men vote Just
as freely and express their opinions on polt-
ical matters just as openly in Maine as they
do in Massachusetts. Two years ago Re-
publican governor was elected and two years
before that Democratic governor, and the
result in neither case was brought about by
social or business ostracism. The stories
which are telegraphed from this State to
the Independent and Democratic newspa-
pers to the effect that Republicans dare not
express opposition to Mr.. Blaine are all nom
sense, manufactured out of whole cloth. Re-
pubicans who oppose Mr.. Blaine do not
hesitate to say so. But there are very few
of them and their scarcity the Democrats
seek to explain by falsely alleging that it is
not safe fol- Republican openly to oppose
Mr.. Blaine. The Maine Republicans do not
want Democratic administration and will
not help elect one.

The Advertiser proclaimed with great glee
some months ago when the Aldermen con-
sented to, and advised the removal of City
Marshal Andrews that their action had NOM
mated the Ex-Marshal for sheriff. In the
convention of his party Tuesday he got three
votes for that Office. Neither the Adyertis-
er's prophesy, nor that laborious period in
Judge Goddard's speech reciting popular
"vindications" Of abused politicians, ap-
pears to have been justified by the event.
