PORTLAND. Maine June l2.--The repub.
lican state convention bids fair to be the
largest and most enthusiastic held here for
years. At IL o'clock the convention hall

being present. Chairman Manley called the
convention to order and after prayer, Hon.
Andrew Z. Wiswell, temporary chairman
delivered the opening address. A large por.
tion OF his speech was devoted to criticis-
ing the action OF the president in not sus-
tanning his civil service reform theories
and his failure to meet the fishery question.
The presidents free trade message was ad-
versey commented on and compared with
the action OF Blaine, whose outspoken ut
terances were commended by the speaker.
He said that Maine was largely interested
in the tariff bill, which would disastrously
affect the lumber interests Of the state.
The people have had enough of three years
OF democratic administration and its blum
ders, and they now want a president who
will protect the American citizens on land
and sea- and that man was James G.. Blaine;
but If they could not have him, the repub-
licans of Maine would follow with unbrok.
EN- ranks, the leadership of the Chicago
nominee. The illusions to Blaine were re.
ceiyed with enthusiastic applause repeated
again and again
Burleigh was nominated for governor on
the first ballot. The platform adopted
contains the following tariff plank. Re-
solved; That free trade, as taught by the
British Golden club and supported by
Grover Cleveland and the democratic party
is hostile to the industrial and business in.
terests of the United States, and that the
Mills tariff bill should be opposed by all
honorable and effective influences, infuen-
ces which friends of American labor can
exert both in congress and among the
people.
Resolved That it is the duty of coneres
to reduce the national revenues to an
amount which equals as nearly as possible
the annual expenditures Of the govern
ment, including therein liberal provision
for our veteran soldiers and for proper
means of nationsl defenses, and this should
be done in way not to impair our repub-
lican protective system which has proved
OF inestimable value to American labor and
our home markets. The administration is
denounced Tor its course in the fisheries
dispute, and prohibition Is endorsed. A
greeting is sent to Oregon, and also mo.
tion is inserted, charging President Cleve
land with insincerity and hypocricy in his
advocacy of civil service reform.
