Declare Themselves.
Portland, Me-, April 16.--Nith sat-ds-
iasm almost unequaled in the history of
Republican politics in this state, the con-
vention for the nomination of delegates
to the st. Louis national convention WAS
held here to-day.
Reed buttons and badges were every
where seen. +,
| Hon. Hannibal Il. Hamlin was chosen
chairman and in his speech advocated
''sound money" Atthe mention of Reeds
name the cheering continued, ever in
creasing in strength, for fully five min
utes.
Herbert M. Heath, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, reported the
platform, which said: The Republicans
of Maine gladly join with their brethren
of other states in presenting to the Re-
publicans of the nation, for promotion to
the presidency, the speaker Of the nation
al house of representatives. He needs NJ
platform but the record of his life. I'm
der his administration, as his public
efforts conspicuously show, would be re-
stored that Republican policy of protec-
tion taught by Lincoln, illustrated by the
signal prosperity of the country for thirty
years and surrounded by the reciprocity
of Blaine, policy which would be adapt
ed to the business of the country and
ADJUSTED WITH oARE FROM TIME TO TIME
to the changed conditions. Then, with
confidence and prosperity restored, rev.
enue will be made adequate to support
the government, and the issuing of bonds,
ostehsibly for the maintenance of the re-
demption fund, but really to meet def.
cheney, will cease. He is opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, ex-
cept by international agreement, and,
until such agreement can be obtained,
believes that the present gold standard
should be maintained. He always has
been uncompromisingly for the mainte-
nance of the highest national credit by the
utmost good faith toward public credits,
not for the creditors sake, but for the
nations sake, for the sound reason that
the most valuable possession of any ma
tion in time of war or distress, next to
the courage of Its people, is an honorable
reputation.
