Powers Nominated Tor Governor.

The result of the Republican State
convention at Bangor last Tuesday
was such as had been previously
prophesied-the nomination by accla-
nation of Hon. Llewellyn Powers of
Houlton, for next governor of Maine.
His nomination was no surprise as it
was well known to the people months
that the honor would fall upon the
Aroostook gentleman. and that ii was
made by reclamation was expected.
There was nc other candidate to con
test Mr.. Powers right to the nominal
ton. and thai it was conceded unani-
mously insures harmony in the party
and a rousing majority in September
for the Republican nominee. That Mr..
Powers from the first received the
hearty support of the Republican
leaders strengthened by the double
act that he was the choice of nearly
Very caucus and the unanimous
choice of the convention demonstrates
beyond doubt that he is a general
favorite with Republicans throughout
the State and will be elected 1T the
polls by a handsome majority. Mr..
Powers nomination is a personal
tribute to that gentleman. and that his
party has mistaken confidence in him
as a nominee who is amply fitted and
qualified to command the votes as well
As the respect of all citizens. and to
faithfully discharge the duties of the
highest office within the gift OF the
people of Maine. Mr.. Powers has seen
service in both national Congress and
state Legislature. He is an able law
Yer, a man of marked ability and in
tegrity and will prove himself a
worthy successor of that illustrious
gentleman who has held the office of
governor for two consecutive terms
with great ability and dignity-Henry
B.. Cleaves.
Mr.. Powers Stands for Protection.
Sound Money-for honest government
and for all that is Republican and
American. and the citizens of Maine
will delight this fall in making him
their governor by a very large ma
jority. All Republicans will mite in
following their leader forward to a
great and glorious victory in Sep

tation from the Republican northern
states and decrease it from the Demo-
cratic southern states. We fail to see
wherein this plan would work the
slightest injustice. Everyone knows
that the existing plan is an injustice
and a menace, although the repre-
sentative sentiment of the party has
been able, practically in all in
stances, to dominate the action of the
convention. This is to be the case
this year so far as making the plat
form is concerned, anyway. What
New England, New York. Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska. and a
majority of other northern Republican
states have to say as a unit will pre-
vail. Nevertheless the possibility, that

existed and what with the southern
delegations from states where the fiat
sentiment appears to be contagious in
troduced an element of danger, which
could not have existed had the pro-
posed basis of representation been in
force. But it must be borne in mind
that great party organizations are con-
sentative in the matter of changing or
abolishing ~precedents and the likeli-
hood that protection and sound money
will result in Republican victory in
some of the southern states this fall
MAY serve as an impeachment to the
desired reform. However, the agita-
ton for the change is gratifying and
will probably in the end be productive
of good reSultS.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Best None Too Good.
~(ItOckland Tribune.)

Ever since the Bangor and Aroos-
took was built the best has been none
TOO good for Aroostook county and the
climax of her pet desires have now
probably been capped in the nomina-
ton of Hon. Llewellyn Powers of
Houlton for governor. Saturday
night the citizens of that town and
vicinity turned out en- masse and the
way they woke up things in hat sec
ton of h country would have made a
stranger think that the price of pota-
toes had risen. The least hat can be
said about our next governor is that
he is popular in his own bailiwick. and
with a great many politicians the re-
verse is the case.
