Mr.. Milliken's name, which was received
with cheers. Hon. j. Manchester Haynes
seconded the nomination with speech, In
which he said that he was today in the very
hall in which he learned his first political
lesson from the lips of those high souled and
pure statesmen, A. p. and Lot nj. morrill,.
The mention of these nameslwas applauded.
Mr.. Haynes then spoke OF the tarllt confllct

competent man in Congress from the Ihlrn
District. Such man he knew Mr. Mllllked
to be.
Mr.. Milliken was unanimously nominated
by rising vote.
Then came the selection of the district del
egates to Chicago. Gen. X. Il. Shepherd OF
SkoWhegan was chosen by acclamatiOn.
Then there was a little controversy between
Hancock and Kennebec for the second. Edi-
tor Chillicott, of the Ellsworth American,
presented the name of Albert W. Cushman;
but Kennebec man jumped up and put in
the name of Capt. E. ID. Haley Of Gardiner,
who would be for James G. Blaine first,
last and all the time" 1t is needless to say
that Capt. Haley got Ill of the 1856 votes,a and
will 60 to Chicago. Mr.. Cushman was chos-
en- presidential elector for the District. The
two alternates then chosen were Elliott
Wood of Winthrop and G. Q. Burrln OIL ELS

man through by the close vote OF AZ to 49,

DISARM1MFNT BEG UN.

For several years the European Powers have
been increasing their respective armies, I'M
proving their destructive weapons Of all kinds,
and generally following the maxim which de-
clares it wise to prepare for war in times OF
peace At the same time each Power has
frankly asserted that nothing would please 1t
better than to disarm and convert its swords
into ploughshares, or at least into corkscrews,
but that what is needed to start general dis
armament is u practical example. AT length
that example has been given, and there is no
longer any excuse for the maintenance of the
overgrown, cumbrous and costly ornaments
which are in themselves perpetual incentives
to war With far-sighted humanity and
macnanimity to be admired and envied by
more sordid governments the Legislature Of
the Hawaiian Islands has sacrificed its pride in
the general interest, and taken the initial step
in the grand movement of pacihcatlon and
determination, the completion Of which will
evidently usher in that federation OF the
world'' long since foreshadowed by the poet.
BY single stroke Of the pen, so to speak,
the noble Hawaiian Legislature has abolished
the navy of the Cannibal Islands, and reduced
the army to what may almost be termed an
abject peace basis That splendid military
machine whose martial tread erstwhle sounded
in rhythmic vibrations through the palm-shad-
cd avenues of Honolulu, and whose gorgeous
uniforms shed ineffable lustre upon the solemn
functions of King Kalakauas court, is legis-
lated out of existence-reduced to its lowest
nomnation-repcsented henceforth by
beggarly array Of sixty-iive warriors, OF whom
no less than eight are full privates 1t is true
that this does not include the royal band. The
vast European interests on whose behalf this
great remuneration has been offered, did not
require that last and bitterest deprivation. The
band remains. and fair percentage Of gen.
erals, represented by ffty-seven out OF the
sixty-fve gallant spirits who, like the Last
Rose of Summer, are left blooming alone But
how magnificent is the moral spectacle pre-
sented Hawaii, standing foursquarc to every
wind that blows, self-stripped Of all her de-
fences, owning her weakness" like the vic
