PORTLAND, June 81. The areat event of
life time in cur city has becom historic. From
every yisito', with hardly anexception, there
comes nothing but expression, of gratitude for
courtesies extended by our people. Ii has done
more to make our city popular IS a pleasure re-
sort than columns of advertising. And what
helps one section of our State !. a benefit to the
whole.
The orderly behavior of our visitors +, the
theme of cor yersatiOn. But Wltt else could be
expected from men who hal their rrtordy

Speaking OF our next SAFE lection reminds
me that our opponents are auguine that be-
cause they possess the otieasjo wiD they are

Thence Of office holders, This is an error of
large dimensions. The republicans a. a party
were not engaged in file holding IN the past
rs business w speak fom observations and
have had some means Of moving what we are
writing about. Ghr nuuhcr Of di,atleeted in
the party on this nccouit are few and far be
tween The >orr hcad went long ago and are
source Of trouble t. the democrats. They
nave received Il small mount of recognition by
them but they are ioked upon with suspicion
mixed with disgust. We warn the democracy
that they will tind tough party TO beat in the
Pine Tree state. Evry republican turned ont of
