the minds of many as the accounts Of yes
terday's proceedings are read, will come
the memory of that fast and fierce con-
test when after a most turbulent conven-
tion the name of Thomas B. Reed first
appeared upon ballot as candidate
for representative in Congress. What a
contrast with today. From that day to
this not a breath has been raised against
his continual return to Congress by the
old First district of Maine, Congress in
which he has ever been conspicuous
figure and steadily and surely risen by
the sheer force of his ability, integrity
and craftsmanship the guide of his party
in the House, the prince OF its parlia-

That Thomas Brackett Reed is Pres
idential candidate not without honor in
his own country was splendidly demon
strated to the world yesterday.
1t was great day for Reed, Portland
and the State Of Maine.
Whether or not the distinguished son
Of Maine becomes the standard bearer of
the great Republican hosts, it will be
one OF the pleasant mem ories OF his life
to look back upon magnificent endorse
ment which was given him yesterday by
the people of his own home, the neigh
bors among whom he has lived his life,
and the constituency whom he has served
with unapproaohable ability in the na-
tional Congress for score of years.
In striking contrast to that memorable
convention Of twenty years ago, were
the great gatherings Of yesterday. In

tuents, we esteem him not only for hi
private character and worth, but join
with the whole Republican party in ad-
miration of his broad and liberal states
manship, his bold and aggressive leader
ship, and his fearless and uncompromis-
ing honesty. His fame is not for this
generation alone. He will go down to
history as the great parliamentary! eader
of his day, who by his superb courage
and self-control in the face of fierce and
vindictive opposition carried through
parliamentary reform which destroyed
the power of factious minority to defeas

all the great questions of the day he has
made his record, and we believe that rec
