One hundred and seventy-five Democrats
at the Bangor convention yesterday recorded
their preference for ex-Mayor Deering of
Portland as candidate for Governor. That
was more complimentary to the ex-Mayor
than creditable TO the Democratic party. We
can assure the ex-Mayor that great many
Republicans would willingly have had him
nominated, if that viii afford him any COM

The Boston Post thinks Mr.. Blaine is not
much of Maine man, not having been born
in the State and having "Very slight inter
ests" here. Oh we'll, that doesn't matter,
Maine has adopted him and has very great
interests in his success, which will suffice
for motive TO give him hearty support.
The trouble with the Post is that Maine
Democrats will like Mr.. Blaine. We suggest
to the Post that it will bave all it can do this
Fall to prevent Massachusetts Den ocrats
from giving their support to the Maine man.

The National Republican Convention did
one thing satisfactorily. 1t designated Maine
as the favorite sammer resort of the nation
this year. The crowd of travel is already
tending this way, and those who cater for
it, and profit by 1t, may safely prepare to do
large business. Long Branch is pGss6, and
Newport only an incident.
