The Party Endorsement Of Or. Hills Candi.
dacy.

We take pleasure in publishing upon
this page, this morning, the editoria
comments of the papers of Maine upor
the prospective gubernatorial candi-
Just week ago we spoke in this col
urnn of DR. Hill in connection with the
next governorship. There was nothing
surprising in the announcements in
deed. it was not a formal announce
ment, but merely an expression of the
situation as well understood by the Re
publicans of Maine, both by the leaders
of the party and by the rank and file
which make up the strength of that in
vincible body. During the week that
has passed scarcely a Maine exchange
has come to the Journal office which
has not added its cordial and emphatic
editorial endorsement to Or. Hills
candidacy; and these, as published,
this morning, show the unanmity and
enthusiasm with which the, Republi-
CdlS VI Jul cldtt Will SupppIl MIN HI
the convention and at the polls.
DR.. Hill is not the candidate of any
section or any faction. But all Re
publicans in all parts of the State
rally around his name; and when he
fills the gubernatoral chair he will fill
it in the interests and to the advantage
of the whole State. From Caribou to
York and from Phillips TO Passport the
papers of Maine, speaking on behalf
of their respective constituencies, have
pledged themselves to his candidacy.
The reason for this is not far to seek.
DR.. Hill is 50 vi l:cCv-n . II" Daopl-
of Maine and his eminent qualificati MS
for the high office are so generally
recognized, that while the lists we
been as free as they ever We're to ny
member Of the party who aspired to
this honor, the fact remains that not
one has entered the field in opposition
to him, and from every part Of ;he
State, from Republicans in every W Xix
of life, come the heartiest endo. Sc
ments of his candidacy.
We doubt if ever before in the is
tory of Maine there was such unan NJ
ity displayed in the selection of a crn-
didate for governor. And with sucl Il
standard bearer the victory at the
pollS will be of the most decisive kind.
The Republican press of Maine may be
truly said TO fairly and honestly voice
the sentiments Of the party, and We
which we publish this morning Will en-
tertain no doubt as to who the next
governor Of our State will be.

that he is the popular choice, and that

But One Man Mentioned"
Bangor Wing and Courier

According to present Indications
Maine will lead off in the presidential
campaign this year in a way that Will
carry comfort to the Republicans all
over the country. The State is recog-
niZed as a Republican stronghold. but
there now prevails n spirit Of harmony
and unity Of sentiment calculated to
give unusual strength to the party
when the active days of the campaign
arrive. But one name is mentioned in
connection with the Republican nomi-
nation, and that has been received with
general satisfaction in every section OF
the State. The announcement of fin ,
candidacy Of Hon. John r. Hill of Au-
gusta, was first made in the kcnnebcc
Journal, the State paper, and its recep-
ton by the press generally has been of
most complimentary nature. TIL
significant feature of the situation is
that even the leading Democratic pa
pers have only kind words to say Of Dr..
Hill. who. it is admitted, will make 4
most capable and acceptable chief
magistrate. Naturally the Democratic
editors would prefer a man of their
own political faith, but recognizing tho
fact that Maine is sure to elect Re
publican governor, they see in DIR. Hill
a candidate whose character and abiI-
ity offer an absolute guarantee Of the
high standard of his administration.
He is perfectly familiar with tho
affairs Of Maine, having served in both
branches of the Legislature and is now
a valued member of the Governors
Council.

Maine is never lacking in good ma

hut il is safe to say that the name Of
any man possessing greater integrity
of character. more excellent business
qualities and stronger intellectual
power. all Of which are combined with
a graciousness of manner that retains
old friends and wins now ones, was
never presented to the people for their
votes as governor of the State Of
Maine. In the selection of DIR. Hill as
a candidate the Republican party can
make no mistake but will add new

Attention is called to an article in

has received from the members of his

Solid and Enthusiastic Support"
(ArOoStoOk Pioneer.)

There is no question but what the
the best known and most popular men
in Maine Will be the next Republican
candidate for governor. in this State.
50 generally are his claims to the posi-
tion recognized. that no one has ap-
peared in opposition to his candidacy.
The members Of the party every
where recognize the fact that the
nomination properly belongs to the
central portion IF the State this year.
But the strength Of DR.. Hill by no
means rests upon the question Of To-
cality. He is. in the nature Of things,
the logical candidate. His fellow citi-
zens have long known and appreciated
the ability and industry which have
given this son Of Maine farmer
foremost place among the strong, pro-
gressive. level-headed business men Of
our state
The people of Aroostook county will
not forget the magnanimous way
in which four years ago IN
the interests Of party harmony AMI
success in the great presidential cam
paign then pending. he withdrew from
the gubernatorial contest and mace
possible the nomination Of Mr.. Powers
by reclamation. The people OF Aroos-
took have ever since felt indebted 10
him, not only for the manly course ne
then pursued. but also for the constant
and generous support he has ever
since accorded Governor Powers. Now
that the opportunity Is 50 soon 70 pe
afforded them to show their kindly
feeling. they will take pleasure in N"

"A Pleasure to Endorse Him. "
(Phillips PhOnographD

We know DIR. Hill to be one Of the
successful business men Of the State
and man amply qualified for gov
ernor of Maine. He gained much ex-
perience while a member Of both
branches of the Legislature and he IS
at present member Of the Governors
Council DR.. Hill is personally popular
and above reproach as to personal
character. 1t is a pleasure to endorse
such a man.

Hon. John +. Hill is a clean, accom-

whom personally nothing can justly be
said He is very popular, and is max

than half Of the managing political
men Of the State are committed to his
candidacy. He cannot fail to make an
excellent chief magistrate.

crushing them down. A year ago 1 was a

unparalleled creation of industrial securi-
ties: thousands of millions lay undgested
in the market, and there were $500, 600, 900 Of
securities in which underwriting syndicates
were tied up. Enormous loans had been
made on unmarketable collateral 1t was

AN UNwIsE SCHEME.

The union men in the Cleveland foun-
dries struck because the proprietors would
not advance the wages 10 cents day The
pay was s2.75 a day; they wanted So. but
would take s2.S5. The companies refused,
and a strike OF six hundred men is the re-
suit. IL seems, however, that the refusal
is not due to the inability of the compa-
mics to comply with the demand but to the
fact that the National Founders Associa-
ton has decided to resist the demands of
union men. Consequently. instead of recog-
MIXING the officers of the unions the man
ayers of the Cleveland foundries have ap-
pealed to the national organization and the
officers of that organization have under
taken to destroy the union in Cleveland by
offering bonus of 81 day to all men who
will leave the union and go to work for
s4.75 day. 1t is reported that three hun
dred men have accepted the terms and
have gone to work. Thus the companies
which could have secured the services of
their six hundred men for an advance of
wages aggregating $50 day are now pay
ing $500 day to secure the work of three
hundred men, the national association coll
lecting. by a general assessment, the mon
ey to pay the bonus of 81 per day.
There can be no defense for such a pro-
cedure either in economics or morals The
proprietors of foundries object to the ac-
ton Of organized labor, yet they organize
in the hope of destroying the union of
foundry workers. To do that the associa-
ton has resorted to a scheme which is very
much like bribery and pays a wage which.
1t is probable, its members cannot afford
to continue for any length of time aud
that they do not intend to make perma-
nent- The organization expects that by this
policy it will be able to overthrow the
union. to the end that it may be able to
deal with each man. The organization of
employers is resorting to just the same
tactics that it complains of in labor-or-
ganization to coerce.
1t can be asserted without fear of eff
fective contradiction that wisely managed
past unions have sometimes abused their
power, but in recent years leadership has
been conservative and strikes are rare.
Arbitration is now the popular and practi-
cal means of adjusting differences when
the employer and employee cannot get to-
gether. Even if injustice occurs occasion
ally nothing will be gained by efforts to
destroy unions by such plan as that to
which attention has been called
