Right after putting a lot of Demo.

regulations. to prevent their being
ousted by a Republican administra-
ton, and claiming a vast amount OF
credit for so doing, President Cleve-
land appoints a congressman to a fat
Office, which 1t is generally thought he
is incompetent to fill. The reason fol
the appointment is that the congress

There is nothing in sight to prevent a

When Republicans of Missouri, the
state of Bland and a fertile field for
the fiat propaganda. take their stand
on a platform squarely opposed to free
silver coinage, it is time to put away
any Oars of free silver heresy getting
a foothold in the ST. Louis convention.
Indeed such fears have no place ex-
cept in the boyle cabinets of Demo-
cratic editors, who use them to conceal
their own embarrassment at the situa-
ton in the Democratic camp.

to say that no canvass for the presl-

party was ever carried on in a more
clean and honorable way than Mr..
Reeds has been. or at a less cost in
money.
Speaker Reed went into the presiden-
tial race determined to preserve his
honor and his independence even If he
missed the prize. and he has stuck to
this throughout. He did not propose
to get down in the dirt He felt that
he had made a record in Congress and
had established a reputation which
would justify his candidacy in the eyes
Of all intelligent people. He believed
that the solid elements of the Repub-
lican party. and especially its business
men the country over would recognize
in him a man who was fit for the pres
idenCy. He believed that he was re-
garded as sound on the money question

Manager Manley, with a candidate
who would not make the speakership
steppinestone to the presidency. who
would not make promises or authorize
him to make them. and who had no
campaign fund worthy of the name,
has made an exceedingly good fight
undoubtedly the best he could make
under the circumstances.

1 Republican State Convention
WILL BE HELD IN
City Hall, Bangor.
Tuesday, June I'd, 1896,
At Two O'clock p. N.

for the purpose OF nominating a candi-
date for Governor to be supported at the
September election; and transacting any
other business that may properly come
before 1t. The basis of representation
will be as follows:
Each city, town and plantation will be
entitled to one delegate, and for each
seventy-five votes cast for the Rupubli-
additional delegate, and for a fraction of
forty votes in excess of seventy-five
votes an additional delegate.
Vacancies in the delegation of any
city, town or plantation can only be
filled by residents of the county in which
the vacancy exists.
The State Committee will be in session
in the reception room of the hall at one
o'clock P. NJ. on the day of the Conven-
ton for the purpose of receiving the ere
dentials of delegates. Delegates, in order
to participate in the Convention, must be
elected subsequent to the date of the call
for this Convention.
We invite all Republicans and all cleo
tors of Maine, without regard to past
political differences, who are in favor of
restoring and maintaining a protective
tariff; who are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. except by in
ternational agreement, and until such
agreement can be obtained, believe that
the present gold standard should be
maintained: who believe in free popular
education; in the promotion of the cause
OF temperance; in just and equal taxation
in the restriction of immigration; in a
just administration of all pension leg
islation; in whatever legislation will re-
store American shipping to its former
rank in the world; in the preservation OF
National honor at home and abroad; in
an economical and efficient administra-
ton of State affairs. to unite with the
Republicans in the selection of delegates
10 this Convention.

1T would be unwise for Major Nc

votes in the East, which is already
against him. and he would lose the

statements as that. which is attributed

who are very anxious that nothing re-

try as dangerous man. in the hope
Of weakening the Republican strength.

believe that the ST. Louis
convention will endorse a straddle on
the really very few who think they see

Kinley compromise victory for free
silver. Republican victory this fall
believe that Republican victory this fall
will also signify a victory for sound
currency. We must admit, however,
that as between Mr.. Mckinley's non
comittal policy in this campaign and
the frank, pronounced stand taken by
Speaker Reed in the Maine and Massa-
chusetts platforms. we find the latter
altogether satisfactory, which we can't
say of the former In view of all this
we are not surprised at the report of a
reaction setting in against the Ohio
candidate. Everybody knows that in
all respects and with all due respect tc

has all the qualities to make him an
ideal candidate. All know what his

to support those convictions. 1t is but

Major Mckinley is a man of honor.

a manly opposition. If he were NOM
mated he would have far more respect
for those who opposed him from the
first. If they continued their oppos-
ton to the very last. He would know
they We're to be trusted, because they
had been true to their original candi-
date. Would he feel the same way
toward men who. though pledged to
support another candidate. come to
him simply because he seemed to be
a winner? Not much. He would know
they would desert him if the opportu-
nifty offered and would feel throughout
his administration that they were not
reliable. Everybody admires a manly
man and Major Mckinley is not diff
ferent from the rest of mankind in
that respect.
