There is no lack Of enthusiasm among
the Maine republicans There being no
contest before the Stat. Convention this
year IL was thought likely that there might
be rather small attendance al Augustt.
Thursday. but all such feelings we're quick
ly dispeIled when the magnificent gathering
assembled 10 Granite Hall. Il was .
thoroughly representative convention, com
prising large delegations from each county
in the State. When over twelve hundred
delegates. many Of whom travelled long
distances, come together with no rival can
dadAcies to stimulate a. active canvass, the
fact affords excellent evidence Of the pre-
vailinz enthusiasm IN the rank and file OF
the republican party. As our report Of
the convention elsewhere says. the contrast
between this convention and the democrat
&c performance io the some city last week
was most marked. both in point OF numb ers
sion OF sentiment among the republicans
They were unanimous in their desire TO
confer the meritsd compliment Of renom-
nation upon Governor Burleigh. whose
excellent administration has CONNIE nded
itself TO the people as wise, prudent and
businesslike and equally harmonious In the
eDunciation of platform of sound princi-
pies. The best of feeling characterized

by most enthusiastic spirit. 1t was a
highly successful Inauguration Of the cam.
paign and its effects will be felt in every
portion Of the State from now until the
republican hosts march to victory this fall

The Republican State Convention which
assembled 81 Augusta yesterday. was Il
large and enthusiastic gathering, excep.
tionally so for an of year. The numerous
attendance was matter Of marked com
ment. II evinced the general satisfaction
with the National and State administrations
which prevades the republican party OF
Maine. and is harbinger of an Oldtime
victory in September.
Nor was the harmony less noticeable than
the size Of the convention. There was, of
n
platform was to be framed, and whatever
discussion attended that important duty Was
only as TO how best TO express the honest
convictions Of the masses Of the party in
the State and did not, as in the recent
Democratic Convention, turn upon the
question how best to deceive the people ~
to what the rarty represents and inte4ds.
The commentator of the national al
ministrahon and of the representatives of
Maine ia the executive and legislative
branches of government at Washington was
something more than formal and was no
less hearty than it was explicit. Republi-
cans everywhere may well approve of the
ability and integrity displayed by President
Harrison, and the republicans of Maine
have especial reason TO be proud of the
part taken by the Secretary of State, the
Senators. the Speaker Of the House and of
her Representatives 10 Congress As much
also may properly be said of our State
affairs. Governor Burleigh has fairly won
the confidence of the people by his con-
'cientious and able discharge of the duties
of his Office. The cordial reception &C.
corded him is ample testimony on this point.
Republicans Of Maine Our candidates
are now selected, our principles are now
announced. Both are worthy your con-
fdence and support. "Let US have long
pull, strong pull, and pull altogether.

The Republican State Convention at
Augusta, Thursday, was Unexpectedly large
and enthusiastic for a non presidential year,
when there was no contest over the guber-
national candidate, showing that the repub
leans Of Maine are enthusiastic and har-
mouious. Indeed, IL is doubtful If ever the
republican party in this State was in better
condition than a, the present time.
The enthusiasm with which the cOnven-
ion declared for protection to home indus

zeal and personal property, for prohibition

lean party stands for the interests of the
mericsn people.
The special recognition of the eminent
public services of Secretary Blaine and the
Maine delegation in Congress, Senators
Hale and Frye and Representatives Reed.
Dingley, Milliken and Boutelle- all of
shom have been nominated by &C ,lamation
or re-election-was well deserved. BY
consent Maine stands in the front
ark of States at the National Capitol. and
rot only the republicans of Maine, but men
,r all other parties are proud Of the fact.
The re nomination of Gov. Burleigh by
WAS expected and deserved.

Although everything foreshadows an easy

men who make as faithful and efficient
governor as the prefent executive of Maine

The remarkable large attendance of del
gates at the Maine Republican Convention
n Augusta yesterday is good evidence of
HE spirit and enthusiasm of the republican
masses of the State. Gov. Burleish has
been q popular Executive. His repominA-
lion lie well deserved and the democrats pu,

merely as matter of routine Formally.
None Of their really conspicuous leaders
cared to run. On the tariff issue, pensions
And temperance the declarations of the
Maine republican platform are strong and
explicit. A pronounced endorsement Is
given the National Administration. Due
regard is paid to the interests of labor.
Speaker Reed is appropriately commended
for his vindicatiou of the rights of the ma
loriy.
