The Maine Congressional Nomination..

The Republicans of Maine have CON-

York, at a dinner u few months since.
Some one IN the course Of the after dinner
talk criticised that feature of the United

and said it was a great injustice to the
Empire State. "Well' interrupted Mr..

The Biddeford Journal deftly hits the
nail on the head thus:
Genuine tariff reform would be a good
thing. The tariff has been repeatedly re-
formed under Republican Presidents. But
sham reform on free trade lines, guided by
ignorance, sectionalism and partisanshp is a
bad thing. Luckily sham reform is making
but little progress, except backward.
We agree also with our lively Republi-
can contemporary in this:
An appropriation of $4,000 from our

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
HEADQUARTERS, AUGUSTA, Me-,
May %. 1859


HEADQUARTERS, AUGUSTA, Me-,
May I'd, 1883.
At the session of the Republican State
Committee, held at Bangor. Thursday morn
ing, April 26th. the Committee decided to
make more explicit the basis of representa-
ton in the call for the Convention to be held
at Portland, Tuesday, June 18th, lsss, for
the purpose of nominating candidate for
Governor The Committee decided that the
basis Of representation shall be as follows
Each city, town and plantation will be entitled
to one delegate, and for each seventy-fve
votes cast for the Republican candidate for
Governor in 1884 an additional delegate, and
for fraction of forty votes in excess OF
seventy five votes a further additional dele
gate. That there may be no misunderstood
ing, the Secretary Of the Committee has made
up new classification of delegates based
upon this representation. There may be
some errors aud omissions in il, as the vote
relied upon was taken from the Year Book,
and in one or two instances it was found to BE-
incorrect, notably in the record of the vote
of Bradford, Penobscot county, it being given
in the 7 FAR Book as IS votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor i'll lsei
whereas the official record shows Us Repub-
lican votes cast. A town or plantation which
threw only "A votes, is, under this call, onl,
entitled to one delegate i'll order 10 get a
second delegate it must have thrown 20 votes ;
the fraction of forty votes to give another
delegate, must be in excess of % votes. II
is hoped that if any errors are discovered III
the list, they will be reported to the Secre-
tary, so that no mistakes may occur.

The Canadian Senator who has just
threatened us with destruction by British
cannon If we do net meekly swallow the
Chamberlain fishery treaty, SLOWS his
tongue to get the better of his Judgment.
He is evidently an Englishman of the cam
tankerous sort. He has incautiously be-
trayed the bitter hostility which underlies
the Tory Canadian policy toward our fish
ermen and the logged British determina-
ton to crush out our fishing fleet at any
cost. and he will doubtless be promptly
taken in hand and tittingly rebuked by
his less outspoken colleagues. There has
been altogether too much sputter of this
kind on the other side of the line. and it is
high time that sensible Canadians should
suppress these irascible and pretentious
blusterers.

Mr.. CLEVELAND may be defeated, and
the power he has welded may be trans
fcrred to other but not stronger hands.
The masterful individuality of the man
has made a powerful impress upon the
political history of the country, and he
will live when others whose popularity
is far greater than his will be forgotten.
Honest, fearless, patriotic, he has sub
served party to country, and If defeat
comes to him. he will accept it
with the proud consciousness that
the politicians and not the people have
laid it at his door. Mr. Cleveland has
his faults; he has made mistakes, but he
has always had the courage Of his con-
victions and no man can say he ever hess
itated to take a step in advance when he
believed that step was for the general
good. Whatever else may be said Of
him. it may be truly said that he has set
an example in many things his prede.
cessors may follow with honor to them
selves and with an eye single to the best
interests of the country at large,
