1t was decided to vote by counties.
Mr. Lewis A. Barker then took the floor
and in brief and forcibe speech presented
the name of DR.. Augustus C. Hamlin of
Bangor. He urged his nomination on the
ground of locality as well as on the ground
of the Doctors personal fitness. He believed
the nomination belonged to Penobscot be-
cause Of the gallant fight the Republicans of
that county had made and which had rescued
it from the control of the Democrats. The
west had had the nomination six times to
the casts once. Four years ago he claimed
that the delegates to the Republican cOnven-
ton pledged themselves at the next oppor-
tunity to support candinate from the east,
and if any of those delegates were members
of this convention he thought now was the
time to redeem their pledges of four years
ago. He paid high personal compliment to
DR.. Hamlln, characteriZing him as sound,
reliable and intelligent Republican, gentle
man of culture and a friend Of the humblest
man. He was a friend to the temperance
cause. and deeply interested in every
movement that would contribute to the well
fare and prosperity of the State.
Mr. Barker's speech was well received, and
the mention of DR.. Hamlin's name elected
warm applause.
