Frank L. Staples was the second
man. and said, in part:
AT the outset. l wish to endorse all
that the first speaker has said in re-
gard to the candidates nominated.
There are among you, gentlemen,
many who have always been and will
doubtless always be Republicans.
There are others, who will for the first
time vote the Republican ticket, this
September, called to this stand by the
exigencies of the condition which con-
fronts us.
THE party has always been the cham
pion of human progress and freedom.
1t has waged great campaigns. but
none has been confronted with a deeper
issue than the present one.
1T is not merely a case of tariff or of
silver, but of self preservation. There
is anarchy in the platform adopted at
Chicago by the opposing party. Bad as
is the financial pollcy WnlcH IL cHdtn-
pions. there are others which are worse.
THAT party stands on platform
which supports the demanding of the
deposition of the right of power
through federal government. and the
process of the courts to compel obedi-
ence to it's laws 1t strikes at the very
source of national existence. To vote
for it is to vote for the DISCRIMINATION
and dissolution of the constitution.
maine had the greenback craze once
| don't think she'll have it again in a
hurry. Once was enough of that sort
of business. And l think my brother
Republicans, trust that, at the Septem-
Der election she will prove herself, the
very first to lead the way to SOUND
government"
1t was a fine speech and was loudly
applauded.

GREAT SPEECHES.
Some Augusta Republicans
Talk It Right Out.
Enthusiastic Caucus dominates Re-
representatives. to Legislature.
LARGO Crowd Listens TO Wise Words Of Warn
ing from Wise Men.

party, fairly dubbed at the Republic
can caucus held Thursday evening in
City hall-Augusta's new City hall
which has now seen its first, but, let
us trust by no means it's last occasion
of this kind.
1t was all to nominate Republican
candidates to represent Augusta at the
Legislature.
Byron Boyd called the melting to or
der. Hon. J. H. Manley was chosen
chairman; w. a. Newcombe, secretary.
Mr.. Boyd proposed the name of w. H.
Williams, and Hon. O. d. Baker that
of Hon. George E. Macomber
Both were nominated by reclamation.
Both have the welfare of the Republi-
can party deep in their hearts. and are
capable of UNFOLDING it's principles. Mr.
Williams served in the Legislature, in
1895, and has always been closely iden-
titled with the local interests of this
city.
Mr.. Macomber is one of Augusta S
formost business men. He was mayor
in 1856. 81 and IS, and is, today, at the
head of the largest insurance agency
in Maine. and prominently connected
with other lines of business, and cor
porations.
Then came the speeches. They were
full of vigor and biff and were lis
tened to with an interest that reflects
the thought of the Republicans of this
city, the State and the country.
Lewis A. Burleigh. one of the
younger Republicans and lawyers of
the city. was the first speaker intro
in part:
THE Republican party of today is
representative of the best interests of
this country, today. in it's stand for
protection it upholds the nation s
source of strength, and in its repudi-
alton of free silver policy. and sup
port of gold standard. it has the his
tory of the past, in this and other
countries. to substantiate it's claims.
Free silver is synonymous with dis
aster.
There is not a free coinage
country in the world Were it so here
it would result in driving out the gold,
and the purchasing price of the silver
dollar would be reduced one-half.
This would enable debtors to settle
with creditors at the disadvantage of
the latter who would be helpless. The
national credit of the country abroad
would be shattered. Among our own
would take place, with no correspond
ing rise in wages.
The Republican party meets this fall
lacy with fact. Past experience re-
flutes present conjectures, and the hon
esty and sound sense of the American
people must rise to disclaim for the
present, what in all past history has
proved disastrous.
1T is for this reason that l. as a cit
iZen of Augusta, support the Republi
can party, it's principles, and the can
didates which you have, this evening,
nominated to represent us in the Leg
islature, men who have the respect,
confidence and deepest local interest in
our welfare"
The speech was received with loud
applause.
