mail and Express. }

Capt. Allen V. Reed, of the United
States navy has fallen a victim to his
own conscientious and consistent rules
of life He has been retired on the re-
port of Admiral Walkers examining
board, which has found him to be pro-
fessionally disqualified for advance
ment to the rank of commodore. This
action disposes of matter which has
been hanging fire ever since February,
and will enable about 80 officers to
move up a peg.
The public interest in this case Is
not, however, centered in the fact of
retirement, but In the precedent which
such retirement creates. Until this re-
port was submitted, the hailing of
Naval Constructor Bowles before
court of inquiry for the outrageous
preparation of smile when addressed
by a superior officer stood unique as
an example of the proprieties in naval
life. But this offense now sinks into
insignificance before the aggregated
breaches of decorum which have
hurled Capt. Reed to his professional
destruction. We are informed that the
chief objections to his DOMINIC a COM
modore's uniform are that while at sea
he has been accustomed to use his
bath tub for storing potatoes, has in
sisted on being his own laundryman,
and has habitually hung his clothing
from the rear portfolios of his ship to
dry.
The report, so far as we know, does
not charge him with quenching his
thirst from his finger bowl thrusting
his table knife down his throat, polish
ing his own boots, or receiving guests
on shipboard in his shirt sleeves.
Whether these things We're set forth
in the evidence is immaterial. They
would be superfluous and merely cor
roborative in a formal report, which
should aim to be terse. The charges
promulgated furnish damning proof
that Capt. Reed is unfit to perform the
duties of a commodore at Old Point
Comfort, Bar Harbor, or in the diplo-
matte or royal ball rooms of Europe.

The Republican party of Maine has
shown answering fidelity to the State In
it's admirable choice of a gubernatorial
candidate. The nomination by accla ,
nation of Hon Llewellyn Powers as
standard bearer OF the grand old party
and as commander of the ship-of- state
by one of the largest and most harfno-
NOUS conventions ever held Is a matter
of the highest appreciation and congratu-
lations to the Republicans Of this State
Mr. Powers has heretofore achieved not
able success in business and in politics
His energy. his clearness of vision, tenac-
ity of purpose for the Republican party
and for the best interests of the State
have only been justly rewarded by his
nomination for the highest office in the
gift of the people of this State. He has
always been staunch and straightfor-
ward Republican. Mr. Powers came to
Aroostook in 1861 and made remarkable
success In the practice of law. At that
time the country was Democratic but by
the persistent efforts of Mr.. Powers in
thoroughly organizing his party, the
Democratic majority was overcome and
he was elected county attorney. From
that time on whenever he was a candi-
date for popular support he always ran
ahead of his ticket. In Legislature In
1876 he was regarded as one of It's
ablest members. The fourth district In
1876 elected Mr.. Powers for Congress
where he attracted considerable attention

has been nominated by the Republican
party of this State for our governor and
who will be elected by an overwhelming

What this means. If 1t be made 4

Hyde, 1T remains with the Repub-

spending at home of those millions

Seldom has Maine witnessed a more
enthusiastic and Harmonious assem-
bly, than that which yesterday put In
nomination for the highest position in
this State one of the ablest sons of
our ability producing land.
In Llewellyn Powers the Republicans
have a leader whom the people know
an therefore trust. In his hands the
interests of Maine will be carefully
guarded and his record as governor
will be one worthy of the confidence
which caused his unanimous choice.
And the platform upon which he
stands is as straight forward as the
man-strong for protection and hon

pie at large can know.
But to Bath the following paragraph

Sweeping Victory Assured.
(Waterville Mail.)

Maine Republicans have never met I'm a
more harmonious or more smoothly run
ming convention than was that of Tues
day at Bangor The result of the meeting,
so far as the selection of a candidate
was concerned, had been settled months
before so that no energy needed to be
wasted In that direction. The conven-
ton was In the nature of grand ratiti-
cation meeting and as such was a com
plete success There was brave display
of enthusiasm for the Hon. Llewellyn
Powers and the Aroostook statesman
responded in an able and eloquent ad-
dress. The resolutions adopted contain
nothing out OF the ordinary except the
section relating to the need of better
roads in the State. The influence of the
agitation that has been going on along
this line Is shown by this action on the
part of the trainers of the platform.
There is nothing in the platform that Will
have to be defended and upon 1t the Re
publican party of Maine at the coming
election will win sweeping victory.

There has been considerable gossip

most uncommon to an initial candidacy
