tspxcrAL TO THE PREss.I

Bangor, June 27.-For a convention at
which there was no contest, never has
there been more enthusiastic gathering
of the Republicans of Maine than that
which this afternoon selected the Hon.
John +. Hill of Augusta to be the next
Governor of Maine. 1t was a convention
attended by both the Senators Of the
state and three of the the four Congress
men. These eminent gentlemen addressed
magnificent audience. There were
present over 1900 of the 1900 and more
delegates and in addition in the crowd
ed hall sat hundreds of the party leaders
from all over the state.
1t was convention which applauded
and cheered and waved hats and flags
As presiding officer Mr.. Frye enliyens
proceedings with running fire Of COM
ment which contains so many bright say
ings that the audience is kept in good
humor. Or the men who addressed the
convention, however, 1t was Congress
man Littlefeld who received the great
est attention. The delegates cheered
him when he appeared. They shouted
HIS NhtAA thNJ NoLeSA W ASeA AAAAAA
speak and they cheered him again and
again when he answered their calls.
That DIR. Hill will be a popular candi-
date, the warmth of his reception today
leaves no doubt. He came at the end of
three hours session, but the delegates
were all waiting and they gave him a
royal send off.
Portland was well represented, for in
addition to the delegates the Lincoln
club came over 100 strong, under the lead
ership of Col. John ID. Printable. The
arrival of the club at noon was one of
the events of the day. Headed by the
American Cadet band the club marched
to the Bangor house, and then waited
until Senators Frye and Hale appeared
ON the balcony. The cheers which the
club gave made the welkin ring. Then
the Senators were serenaded and after
that, wherever you went in the crowded
streets, the badges of the Lincoln club
were conspicuous. The badges announced
that the bearers were for Hon. John f.
Hill for Governor, and that they be-
longed to the Lincoln club of Portland.
In addition to these announcements the
badges were adorned with the pictures of
Lincoln.
The arrival of the Lincoln club was
not the only event of the early hours Of
the day. All the forenoon the hotels
were crowded. Delegates and visitors
came pouring in from all directions.
Senator Frye was central figure and
spent much of the forenoon in the office
of the Bangor house and ON the sidewalk
by the door. DIR. Hill was kept busy as
he had been the day before receiving the
well wishes of his friends, During the
forenoon Congressman Allen and Little
field arrived and were warmly greeted.
Prominent among the well-known men
who gathered in groups on street cor
ners and In the hotel lobbles, was Gen.
S. d. Leavitt of Eastport, who came as
delegate. Gen. Leavitt's former po-

vator leaving the interviewer in the midst
of knot of laughing bystanders.
In a recent national administration,
the so-called "Grandfather's Hat" played
a prominent part. The hat which was
prominent today was also white and it
surmounts the snowy locks of the Hon.
John ID. Hopkins.
Mr.. Hopkins stands over six feet in
height, he is 81 years old and as spry rs

important and interesting. The Chinese
minister's report of the departure Of the
foreign ministers and their guards from
Pekin greatly relieved the officials ere,
who took 1t as the first tangible evidence
that the imperial government had full

the ministers to come TO personal harm
and were thus undertaking as far as lay
in their power to observe the amenities
of international exchange.
The keenest interest is shown by the
officials to learn the conditions under
which the ministers left Pekin.
