Mr.. Reeds Platform.


The basis of Mr.. Reeds candidacy in
the st. Louis convention is to be broad
er than that of the confidence and en-
thusiasm with which the Republicans
of Maine support him. and though he
is not a local but a national candidate
for the presidency the expressions of
his party in his own State upon the
grave questions challenging the atteu-
tion of the country have naturally been
waited for with interest. They have
now been made. and their clear, pos
tive and direct declarations put aside
all doubt and leave no room for uncer-
tainty as to the reasons why Mr.. Reed S
bearer of the party. &
For the prosperity of the nation
through the restoration to our tariff Of
the principle of protection. adjustable
as to its details as experience may die
tate and the changing conditions of the
country may require, and for the finan-
cial safety of the country through its
money basis, MIR. Reed stands as an
able. incorruptible, fearless. and UNI
compromising representative. 1t will
be to the honor of the party quite as
much as to him if he wins on those
principles at st. Louis. while his de-
feat there will be no reflection or dis
if he does. because the party will make
the great mistake of not standing by
the principles which he exemplifes.

COMMENTS ON the CONVENTION.
The Republican Convention.
(Portlanu PreSS.)

The Republican State convention
which met yesterday was conspicuous
for its numbers and enthusiasm. 1t
met to voice the universal sentiment of
the Repubncans of Maine in favor of
the nomination of the Hon. Thomas Il.
Reed as candidate for the Presidency
upon the vital political questions of the
day. IT performed both duties ad-
mirah,v
The convention made Mr. Reeds
views upon the important questions of
the day its platform. With
those acquainted with Mr.. Reed or who
have examined his record with a view
of ascertaining the truth there was no
room for doubling where he stood on
the questions of protection or the cur
rency. His record has been consistent
as to both. Throughout his pablo life
he has been the earnest friend of pro-
lection to American labor. He has de-
livered most elaborate and powerful
speeches in its support. ne has always
voted in its favor. and the last protec-
ton measure which was placed upon
the statute book could never have
been placed there but for his courage
his tirnneSS and his readiness to accept
responsibility when its acceptance in
volved a contest of such magnitude
and of such bitterness that only the
most courageous of men would have
been equal to il. On the currency his
position has been equally firm and con-
sistent, though there has been a dis
honest attempt to MAKE 1t appear
otherwise. His face has always been
firmly set against the free coinage OF
silver and his every act and word and
vote has been in opposition to that
policy. The declaration of the con-
vention of yesterday which is at the
same time his personal declaration was
not needed to convince anybody who
was disposed to examine for him5elf
how Mr.. Reed stood on the currency,
but it will serve the useful purpose of
making further misrepresentation of
his position practically impossible.

What did Senator Hill mean when in
his speech on Friday he stated that it
was now conceded by both it's friends
and enemies that the Wilson bill did
not provide sufficient revenue for the
support of the government? He was
assuming to champion the administra
tons course in issuing bonds. yet no
man better than Senator Hill knows
that in season and out of season the ad-
very Wilson bill did provide sufficient
revenue. What did Senator Hill mean
by saying that there exists no author
ity for issuing bonds save for the pur
pose of redeeming greenbacks and
maintaining the reserve and in the
same breath saying that because Con-
gross refused to supply the needed rev
enue the administration was compelled
to issue bonds to pay the running ex-
penses of the government? Senator
Hill knows that when he gives utter
ance to that truth he convicts the adj
ministration which he was assuming
to defend. He is perfectly we'll aware
that the administration eXerted it's at
NEST efforts to prevent the passage of
the deficit bill, that Democrats voted
against it, and that those who were dis
posed to allow their patriotism to rise
superior to their partisanship We're
made to feel the sting of the admins
tration whip and fell into the line of
opposition under the lash. 1t was only
last Thursday that Senator Hill indig
nantly denied the charge made on the
floor of the Senate that he had been
known to stab in the back. and yet on
Friday following he talks in way cal
culated to make friends of the admin
istration very suspicious of Hills pro-
fessed friendship. But what excuse
can either offer for not introducing or
supporting some measure of revenue
relief?

For Reed and Honesty.

President. the State convention OF
Maine Republicans has sounded the
battle. cry that will inspire the he
levers in honest government to VIC
tory. The tribute paid ny his fellow
citizens to the Maine statesman is one
that must linger among the pleasantest
of his memories whatever the future
may hold in store for him. A more
enthusiastic and withal a more har-
monious deliEerative body of men

and name its choice for leader 1t was
not the wild, unreasonirg laudation

the Maine convention gave expression
to, but the earnest, honest convictions
of business men and their recognition

himself in many critical engagement
to be fearless champion, a wise lead

The Easter Anthem Of 1896.

Your Easter anthems rise to me;
| bend in listening love
To catch the sounds of music sweet
That bring delight above.
But to my waiting ear there swells
No Alleluia clear;
A voice of agony and woe
The risen Christ must hear.
MiSerere, Domino!
Your lilied affairs CLEAN with light
From countless taperS fair;
The dearest treasures of the spring
Are piled in Offering there.
But brighter breaks upon my sight
The torches ruddy glow.
Where SmOuldering church and ruined
home
Send up their cry of woe.
Miserere. Domino!
Oh. Easter hymns are sweet to hear
And Easter flowers are gay:
But is't in mockery We bring
Your gifts to me today?
What boots your organ rolling loud,
Your voices pealing clear,
While from the East my peoples cry
Falls keen upon my ear?
Mserere, Domino!
I conquered Death: broke his chain:
l rose to Heavens clear, day.
Ye bring him crowned on earth again,
Ye bend beneath his sway.
My cross CLEANS white. but Ger 1t flames
The crescent like Il crown;
And not a hand is raised to tear
TIL eXultant symbol down.
Miserere, Domino!
Oh. not for me the altar lights
The white-robed chOir's chant:
The song of Christendom today
Rings like an empty vaunt.
My lot be theirs, my heart be theirs.
Who suffer for my name;
With them my voice, with them my
prayer.
| Our Fathers grace shall claim.
