Mr.. Reeds Speech,
| FetJ0lc Citizens and Gentlemen Of the
Republican Battalion:
L sincerely congratulate you upon the
success of last Monday. The State of
Maine always does its duty, and last
Monday, under the leadership furnished
by our own city of Portland, it exceeded
| the expectations of it's own state commit
tee. The city of Portland is to be con-
graduated upon having furnished so
popular candidate, one who has led
our hosts on to victory. Our county has
thoroughly done its duty, and you here
present can appreciate the disadvantages
under which that duty has been per-
| formed, and can therefore appreciate the
results. Our city also has done nobly.
| It has given us a victory which is the har-
| binger of other victories and which in the
| coming spring will place the city of Port
land, for all future elections, beyond the
| hazard or necessity of calculation. APP
| plause.
| So far as am concerned | am satisfied
| with my district. 1t has always done
me higher honor than I have ever de-
served, higher honor than have expect
| ed, and this has been no exception.
| When two years ago it gave me 1890 plu-
| rality for the purpose of enabling me to
! finish good work, it did SO because it
was just, and | am satisfied that it would
do the same thing again under the same
stress. Applause. For that, and for
all other favors which have received,
| countless in number, I am truly CRATE
| full.
| Gentlemen of the Republican battalion,
congratulate you upon the fine appear
ance which you make tonight, with your
guests. You have the right to celebrate
won, and I call upon you now, every one,
| to give three good cheers for the best
thing in the United States, the Republic
can party.
