VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Washington County for Dr.. Hill.

This is to be year Of triumphs and
failures in politics in this country
Maine will set the ball in motion, and
1t behooves the Republicans to put
forth their strongest, best and ablest
men for the several positions in order
that a start in the direction of honest
and economical administration Of pub
lie affairs may be made.
The standard bearer of the Republi-
can party in Maine, it is generally con
ceded is to be DIR. John F. Hill of Au-
guSta, a man of unblemished character,
with a clean political record; a man of
experience in public affairs, a man of
the people and for the people. DIR. Hill
had strong following for the same
position four years ago. but Withdrew
from the contest. allowing Mr.. Powers
to receive a unanimous nomination.
The people appreciated this kind act,
and Mr.. Hill is yet to receive his re-
ward by unanimous nomination and
an election by a rousing majority
The Republicans of Washington
county are not unmindful of the ster-
ling qualities which DR.. Hill possesses,
and will no doubt be his strongest sup
portcrs when the time comes for action.

the distinction of being the only Demo
