REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.
For Governor
HENRY 3. ClEAVES.


The denomination of Hon. Seth. L..
Milliken for his seventh successive term
for representative in Congress for the
Third Maine district is an emphatic en-
dorsement of that gentleman for that
high and important Office and proof posi-
tive that he has performed its difficult
duties faithfully and with marked
ability.
Mr.. Milliken's competitors, two years
ago, Ex-Governor Buileigh, Judge Wis
well and Hon. j. II. Mauey; and this
year. Hon. o. ID. Baker and Hon. A. NJ.
Spear are men worthy of any mans
steel, and his victories over these gentle
men indicate that he is eminently salts
factory to the people of this district as
their representative in the National
House. Maine appreciates the advant-
age that results from long terms of SER
vice in Congress and will act up to this
idea by again returning the delegation
intact, that has served the State with
distinction for II years past, and will do
it with majorities increased over the
large ones of former years if the enthu-
siasm manifest at the conventions thus
far held, and the unusual interest evinced
by the Republicans generally, is indica-
tive of the result in September.
