There is more Catarrh In this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
Gounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven caJarrh to be constitutional
disease, and, therefore. requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by L. j, Cheney u Co., TOLEDO, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and micous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for

rsPrcIAL 20 THE PREss.J

Augusta, June 29.-There were delega-
vention here today to form regiment
on war footing and have good-sized
squad left over. In addition, under the
command of Col. John d. Printable, the
Lincoln club of Portland, sent delega.
tion numbering nearly 800. They showed
their patriotism by carrying American
flags, and Chambers band never played
better than it did today. The city was
active with delegates early in the morn
ing, and at 9, when the Lincoln club ar
rived, everybody was waiting for the
houl when the convention would meat.
The Governor was escorted to the hall by
the club and he found it filled with Re-
publioans, the attendance including the
leaders of the party from all sections of
the state. A picture of the Governor
stood on the platform and was draped
with American flags. OF course there
was lots of talk of the war. There was
little Of the usual excitement about this
convention. The only things in the nature
of a contest were one or two ditferenceS
in county delegations as to who should
serve on the state committee. The
Governor was to be renominated and the
words spoken in praise OF his admins
tration found ready response in the ap-
plause and cheers of the hearers, while
Governor Powers was accorded an enthu-
siastic welcome and the patriotic senti-
nents OF his speech were loudly applaud
ed The war spirit of the delegates
reached its highest pitch when ex-Gov
ernor Cleaves introduced resolution
commencing the bravery Of the Maine
oops. Then the flags rolled over the
heads of the delegates like the pillows
Of sea of red, white and blue waves
and there was cheer after cheer. The
resolutions are brief.
The forecast printed in the PRESS this
morning gave good idea OF the declara-
ton of principles. It was day of good
speeches. The message which came from
Senator Hale may be put in with the
speeches in this estimate of their quail.
ty. SENATOR Hale could not be present.
but Congressman Boutelle was on the
platform and in response to the loud
demands iof the delegates made the last
address of the day and many forgot that
they wanted their dinners when the Con-
gresham began TO tell OF the Name dele
CATION and the situation in Washington.
After it was all over, the Lincoln club
escorted the Governor back to the Angus
ia house, and then were entertained at
lunch by the Abnaki club.
THE ORGANIZA TION.
Chambers band finished a rafting
melody just before II, and Chairman
Marley OF the state committee called the
convention to order and Secretary Byron
Boyd read the call. Prayer was offered
by the Rev. James S. Williamson of Au-
gusta-
Mr.. Manley then said that some weeks
ago Senator Hale had been selected TO
preside over the convention and had in.
tended to do so up to yesterday morning
but then he found that the pressure of
public business would keep him in Wash
ington. Senator, Hale had sent a mos
