Mr.. Burieigh's Retirement.
Belfast Age. Dem. ]

Gov. Burleigh retires this week from the
Governors chair of Maine after an honor.
able service of four years in that position.
Mr.. Burleigh came into the governorship
with knowledge of its duties and the con.
dition of the State, especially its finances,
that well fitted him to at once assume the
responsibilities of the office, as he was
State treasurer when elected Gov
ernor. His first inaugural address:
showed this and no more business.
like discussion of State affairs was
ever probably submitted to Maine
Legislature. We spoke of it in terms OF
approval at the time. We think it due Mr.
Burleigh as a tried official to declare tina,
so far as in him lay he has given the State
the benefit of good business administra.
ton. If Gov. Cleaves does as well during
his occupancy of the gubernatorial chair
his friends will have cause to congratulate
him.
We do not know what Mr.. Burleigh's
plans are for the future but we think he
will continue to be an influential personal
ity in Maine politics.

The Maine Women's Suffrage Associa-
ton, Mrs. Hannah j. Bailey of Winthrop,
president. is circulating petitions all over
the State asking for municipal suffrage for
women. The petitions are being very gen
orally signcl. I, is said that many of those
who opposed the proposed change in the
law two years ago now heartily favor it.
The friends of the measure think that il is
very likely that the effect of the women
who vo,ct, in the receA election in Boston
had considerable TO do with the change, for
while the city went Democratic by large
majority, the school board members nomi-
mated by the Republicans were elected by
an equally large majority, due to the
women who sre allowed to vote on this
question.

Faithful and Efficient Service Rendered.


Few Governors of Maine have retired
from tina, office with better record for
faithful and efficient service to the State at
large than has Hon Edwin C. Burleigh.
HIS experience as State treasurer gave him
a thorough knowledge of the States finan-
ciaI condition, while his extended acquaint-
ance with the needs of Maine enabled him
a. Governor to advance measures that, en-
acted into law, have proved to be of mater
iai advantage to all classes of our citizens.
His strong advocacy of the Australian bal
lot bill will not be forgotten. The relations
of the Argus with Mr.. Burleigh during his
four years occupancy of the Governorship
have been mutually pleasant, and we trust
the prosperity and success that have so far
attended his career will continue to abide
