SOME NEW YORK COMMENT
Concerning Maine's Next Governor and Other
Matters Of Interest 10 Augusta.

Says recent issue of the New York
CONNER cial: For more than 30 years.
with but one or two exceptions the gov
crnors of Maine have been practically
assured of nomination weeks before the
assembling OF the Republican State CON
vcntion. a nomination that with but
those exceptions proved a guarantee Of
election So it was quite appropriate that
the New York friends of DR.. John F.
Hill of Augusta, Me, were congratulate
ing him when he was here a few days
ago. for up to this time no one has even
ntimated that he will fail to receive the
Republican eubernatorial nomination in
Maine next month.
Doubtless many New Workers associate
the tidy little capital city of Augusta
with the.>backwoods, peopled with lum-
Der camps, fishermen and deer stalkers,
but certainly in dress, manner and con-
vers;ttion the affablc doctor Is the pol
ished metropolitan. lie is only past the
middle age yet he has found opoortu-
mites to acquire a profession and a good
practice, not to speak of an ample Tor
tune from the publishing business ana
street railway enterprises in New Eng
land and the West.
For several years DIR. Hill has occu-
pied the old Blaine mansion at Augusta
but he is now arranging to erect there
what viii undoubtedly be the finest res
idence in the State.
DR.. Hills success il not exceptional IN
the kind Of publishing and advertising
that IS as distinctive of this little down
east city as shoes are of Brockton and
lumber Of Bangor. w. II. Gannctt has
umasseI big fortune for that State in
ten years at similar business. +. G.
Allen and +. O. Nickery blazcd the way
before either Of these gentlemen began,
ana now Dr. T. O. Kinsman Of the Cap
itll Drug Company Is one Of the heav-
lest contributors to the mails distributed
at that office. All Of which accounts for
the fact that Augustus po~toflicc rather
ovcrshudows the towns l2GO1 population.
Ten years ago a fine government build
ing costing a quarter Of million was
erected there. ana now plans are being
made for TIM expenditure of nearly half
AZ much more in charging il.
During the six months ending March 81.
there was sent out Of the Augusta post
Office more than i0ur and Il quarter mill
lion pounds at the ccnt-a-pound rate not
mentioning the tons upon tons Of other
mail really incident to the publishing
houses in that city

Delegates Instructed to Vote
for Hon. John F. Hill
For Nominee for Governor at the

Hon. ]. H. Ma n'ej and E. C. Dudley Nominst-
ed for representatives, TO Legislature.

Hon. Joseph II. Manley and e. c.
Dudley We're nominated as the Ecpub
lican candidates to the next LeSisia-
ture in large and enthusiastic caucus
in the City hall, last evening. Consid-
ering the fact that there were no con-
tests the turnout was remarkaIle.
The mention of the name of Hon. John
F. Hill as the next Governor and Hon.
Joseph H. Manley as the Speaker Of
the House brought forth round after
round of applause and at times it was
impossible for the speaker to proceed
without waiting several moments for
the handclaDping to cease.
1t was without question one of the
largest caucuscs that has ever been
assembled in City hall. The number
If people present has been variously
estimated from 500 to 1900, but it is
perfectly safe to say that fully 1000
people We're present.

There was a storm of applause when
r. w. Soule, the genial hustler. stepped
onto the platform and called the eau
Gus to order. and as soon as he could
find an opportunity to speak 50 that
he might BE- heard. he said that he
fully recognized the honor conferred
in choosing him to preside at the eau
Gus and mindful of that honor would
not detain those present with a speech.
but would proceed at once to business.
The caucus organized by the choice of
w II. Fisher as secretary.
Mir g. s Hichborn in an
Eloquent speech outlined the mat
tc~s to come before the eau
Gus. and. after paying a glowing tri-
butte to his ability ana high character,
said:
The next Governor Of Maine
Will be Hon. John F. Hill Ground after
round Of applause). No voice Will be-
raised against him. His majority at
the polls Will be the largest that has
ever been cast FIR any candidate.
What more fitting thing can we DO
than to nominate delegates who are
his own personal friends? l therefore
move that the following delegates be
instructed to support him at the State
convention 10 be held in Bangor. June

The number Of lists received at the
executive department, Of Mainc-born
people living in other states, is steadily
increasing. That there is an increased
interest. is shown by the talk in the
different departments. AT one time
there was a dcluge of correspondence.
asking that Gov. Powers make an APP
pointment IF the dates for the week.
That correspondence is now stopped,
and everywhere assistance is being
given to carry on the work.
1t is learned from various sources
that at that particular time an effort
will be made in many sections to have
not only Il reunion Of towns people and
families, but also Of classes in acad-
emies in the various towns. While this
idea has been carried out in a measure
at the commencement season. yet the
number of people returning has not al
ways been as large as desired, for the
reason that so many Of the classmates
have gone to other states.
What form the observance will take
is a matter that IS much discussed.
ana among Il large number there is not
the idea that it should be a 'hurrah
boys" time, with brass bands. pink
lemonade and speeches, but rather q
quiet observance Of the event. with a
picnic, if desired. that the people may
together have a chance to meet each
other. and possibly reception. but not
the noise and Dustlc of going to other
pl9ccs and repetition of the busting,
busy scenes to which the people were
when thy were ~ home,
but quiet observance, recalling Tor
Nor days that will leave pleasant
memory ana a strong desire To again
return t. their homes when another
season shall come around.
