Cnairman Judkins then addressed the

with close attention and loudly ap-

he referred to the late Nelson Dingley,
and the man to be nominated to succeed

Mr.: Fitch of Durham moved that the

On motion Of Col. r. M. Drew OF

was appointed by the chair rs follows:
Col. \. NJ. Drew Of Lewiston. W. l..
Daggett Of Strong, Judge Rusl Robinson
Of Camden, W. II. Miller Of Boothbay
Harbor, Eugene Thomas of Topsham,
The committee on credentials reported
294 delegates present. This Is the full
membership
The temporary organization was made
permanent and then the nomination was
In order. Mr.. Cobb was loudly applauded
as ne took the floor. In the course OF MS
eloquent remarks, he said;
MR.. COBB'S REMARKS.
When, after decent interval, the people
Of the district turned to the consideration
Of successor to Mr.. Dingiey. it became
evident that an exciting and honorable
political contest would ensue. EXCITING
because the friends of the several candi.
dates, were intensely loyal and aggressive;
honorable because the candidates them
selves placed their high character at the
disposal of no dishonest methods. The
prize was we'll worth the winning, and
many strove to gain it; but no reproach
can rest upon those who entered the field
and then Withdrew. nor upon their
friends who gave them such faithful and
earnest support. For we first contend
with all our might for the free expression
Of political opinion and expediency; We
then owe our party success to the good
grace with which we submit our In
to the wish OF the majority
and unite for the advancement OF o oom-
mon principle and to gain desired ED.
And he too who successfully emerges
from an honorable political strife within
his own party should cultivate something
of tolerance. He owes 1t to himself, his
party and his friends that he harbors no
resentful feeling toward those who fairly
opposed him, that the bitterness often
arising from honest differences Of opinion
be allayed rather than infiamed, and he
must realize that party harmony Is more
to be desired than the Temporary elevation
Of any individual.
