The Republican State convention, held
at Bangor this week, was one of the larg-

of the party and indicates that there is to
be no tagging in the ranks in this pres
ideutial year.
The nomination of Hon. Llewellyn Pow

Congratulations.


(Waterville Sentfnel)
The Republican party of Maine has
shown answering fidelity to the State in
its 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 harmo-
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 a 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
that time on whenever he was 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
as an able orator. This is the man who
has been nominated by the Republican
party of this State for our governor and
who will be elected by an overwhelming
maiOrty

Later on Mr.. Powers was called upon to
address the convention and made one of
the very strongest speeches of the day
He is one of the leading business men of

only in business affairs. but in public af-
fairs, and the business interests of Maine
can rest assured that with Governor
Powers at the helm Maine will have a
good adminiStra ton

Sweeping Victory Assured.
(WateryiIle Mail0

Maine Republicans have never met in 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 a brave display
of enthusiasm for the Hon. Llewellyn
Powers and the Aroostook statesman
responded in an able and eloquent adj
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 it the Re
publican party of Maine at the coming
election will win a sweeping victory.

A Great Favorite in Aroostook.
(Aroostook Republican.l

The Republican was one of the very
irst newspapers to urge the selection of
ZION. LleWellyn Powers for governor of
Maine, and his unanimous nomination is
as gratifying to us as it is to his thou
sands of other true-hearted friends from
the St. John river to the extreme western
part of the State.
The next governor of Maine Mr. Pow
ers, is a native of the State. He is of the
common people, and the sturdy farmers
of Aroostook have been charmed by the
genial, magnetic qualities of the man
who is always interested in their welfare,
and who shows his manhood's worth by
ms placing himself on a level with the
people.
Lew Powers is a great favorte in
his own county as will be evidenced
when the people have a chance to show
their appreciation of his worth and ser
vices at the polls.
Mr. Powers is a self-made man, and by
his own unaided efforts has placed his
name high on the roll of the successful
and honored sons of the Pine Tree State
He was county attorney of Aroostook
for some years, the first collector of Gus
Sress from the fourth district and served
with marked and distinguished ability
as member of the Legislature, occupy
ing the speakers chair at the last SEES
sion.
Endowed with all the qualities that
make men great, the selection of Mr.
Powers as the standard bearer of Maine

est of Republicans in behalf of his party
No Man in the State Better Equipped for the
Position.
Correspondence to the Boston Herald)
In the political world the expected hap
pened, this week, when Hon Llewellyn
Powers was nominated as the Guberna-
torial candidate of the Republican party
For months the nomination has been a
foregone conclusion, and 1T is a great honor
paid to the Houlton statesman because
an Initial nomination by acclamation is
something out of the ordinary custom in
Maine. Mr.. Powers has had a large ex-
perence in public affairs, and probably
no man in the State is better equipped
than he to discharge the duties of the high
office to which he will be elected next
September.
One remarkable feature of the conven-
ton is that out of 1900 delegates to which
1T was entitled there were only 10 absent
One of the pleasant incidents after the
convention was the trip of Mr.. Powers
accompanied by his wife, to his native
town of Pittsfeld, where he was given a
very handsome reception by the citizens
regardless of party. A prominent Demo-
crat presided, and a most enthusiastic
welcome was given Mr.. Powers, who
went to the town with his wife to visit
his aged mother, who resides there.

Mr. Harold M. Sewall has an estab-
lished reputation as an orator. His
address as chairman Of the Maine Re-
publican State convention in Bangor,
yesterday, justified the high expecta-
lions which were entertained of it. His
eulogy of Thomas B. Reed was a gen.
uine piece of eloquence, and, what is
more, it was abundantly merited On
this topic Mr.. Sewall spoke from the
heart, and spoke, too. for all Maine
Republicans, whose loyalty to their
splendid leader knows no faltering.
Hon. Llewellyn Powers, whom the
convention selected for Governor, is an

whose nomination by reclamation at
