THE CONVENTION AND THE CANDIDATE.
lBiddeford Journal

/. Tuesday was red-letter day In the history
OF the Republican party Of Maine. The State
convention which assembled In Portland, as
a representative body, was simply grand in
point of completeness, superb personnel and
the candor and admirable good sense which
characterized Its deliberations. Indeed, it is
hardly conceivable that another body of 1442
men. with the pressure of an exciting cam
settle the issues Of that canvass with the abb
sence, OF friction, the poise, the manliness
and hearty agreement which characterized
the great body Of Republican delegates in
Portland; The fractional fight" predicted
py our friends the enemy, did not come off +;
which they so fondly hoped for. failed to
materialize; and thus are they robbed in ad-
vance OF the sweet morsel by which they
fain would nourish and energize their own
ill-starred campaign.
AS to the work of the convention-while
the Journal, in honor as in duty bound bows
to its decision, it does so with feelings of
disappointment. For reasons that appeared
sound and pertinent this paper has firmly be-
heved from the first that another than the
present nominee would best meet the pecu-
mar requirements of the governorship of
the State, and insure victory at the polls
party.
In. point Of character, experience and ex-
ecutlye ability, Mr.. Burleigh is a strong can
aldate. his years OF methodlcal training in
connection with the land office and the f.
nancial department of the State abundantly
qualify him for the execution of the high
trusts OF the chief magistracy-qualiicatio
which are conspicuously lacking In his Dem
ocratic competitor.
One thing, however, remains for Mr.. Bur
leigh to do, In view of the delicate and some
what complicated situation In which this
nomination places him, and that Is to
promptly resign his Office as treasurer of the
State. Such course would disarm his Dem
ocratic opponents at the very outset of the
campaign, and insure an old-time Republic
can majority In September.

the Commissions Report.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 1.-The report Of
the government directors Of the Union
Pacific railroad has been received by the
secretary of the interior. After reviewing
the work of previous years the report in
terms approves of the recent report of the
Pac ilc railroad commission appointed by
the president and says:
at now seems to the government directors
that there can no longer be any reasonable
doubt as to the interest and duty OF the gov
crument towards the Union Pacific railroad
and they beg to express the earnest hope
that no further delay will occur in passing
such IA settlement through congress. We
cannot too strongly urge the great harm
which delay is doing, both to the Union
meut debt. Every consideration which we
can believe is pertinent to this subject, urges
its immediate settlement
As regards the course recommended by
PattisOn, the minority Of tho commission,
the government directors "do not hesitate to
say we would view its adoption with deep
regret. Indeed, if this were the only alter
native it would, in Our Judgment, be better
for the government to lose every dollar of its
debt and execute release to the company.
10 punish and destroy the corporation be-
cause some time in the past it may have been
despoiled by those who were bound in law
and conscience to protect it, does not appear

crease the respect of the people for the law

TWO PROPOSED TREATIES.
The Chinese Treaty 4" Re nIodIAod-That
British I!xtradition scheme.

British G.xtradition scheme.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. "a United
Press reporter hns obtained from Belmont,
chairman Of the committee on foreign affairs,
an important statement with regard to the
Chinese question, and also as to the pending
treaty with Great Britain. Ia reply to the
questions Of the reporter, Belmont said he
felt that he could properly state that negotia-
tions had been pending for some time for an
amicable settlement of the Chinese question.
They had been suspended during last summer
in consequence of the absence of the Chinese
minister, but had now been resumed and
were reaching completion. He UNDERSTOOD
in fact, that draft of the pro-
posed treaty had been transmitted to the
Chinese minister, containing such moiifca-
tions of existing treaties ms would bring
about the complete exclusion of that class of
emigrants to which tile people OF the western
coast objected. 1t was only just to the
Chinese government to say that there was
no disposition on their part to stand in the
way of such an agreement, and he believed
there was strong prospect that within a
month we would have treaty which would
effectually dispose Of the question. 1t
would, of course, be necessary for congress
to enact legislation to carry out the purpose
of such a treaty, and therefore it was desir-
able that the bills now pending before the
house should not be hastily acted upon. If
there should be Il failure of negotia-
tion, which did not seem likely
congress would be informed in ample
time to pass independent legislation. Bel
mont further said that any treaty arrange
lnent with China to prevent Chinese immi-
grafton would, of course, have to be supple
mented by some stringent legislation, and
perhaps even by some treaty stipulatious
with Great Britain to suppress the introduce
ton of Chinese Coolie labor by way Of Hong
Kong and Vancouver, by which means our
present restrictive laws were largely avoided.
1t was understood there would be no diff
Guilty on this score.
Of the pending treaty with Great Britain,
Belmont said that as the matter had been so
widely discussed through the papers, he
thought it only just to the administration
that it should be known that no clause per-
uniting the eXtradtion of a citizen of tho
United States for any political otfense was
included in the treaty sent to the senate. If
there was any such provision now under
consideration it must have been inserted as
an amendment in the senate. He repeated
that there was no clause in the
treaty AS submitted to the senate which sur
renders any right which this government
has always upheld, nor was there any pro-
vision which could bs construct as permits
ing a surrender on account of political
lifcnsCs
