who was greeted with round after
round of applause as he arose to sneak.
Senator burrows is a speaker of fine
presence. easy and natural in manner.
with a forceful way of sending home
his points with voice and gesture. His
wit is of the dry kind and his sarcasm
cuts like a knife. His manner Of de-
livery was most pleasing and held his
auditors, no less than did the sound
Republican doctrine which he empha-
sized.
The applause which greeted Senator
Burrows upon his presentation was
renewed with double force after his
opening sentence in which he referred
to his last visit to Augusta. when he
was the guest OF Hon. James q. Blaine.
He began with reference to the i'm
portance of Names election, notably
to the state itself. but also in its Ell
feet upon the political situation
through the Union. Not only must a
Governor be elected, but also represen-
tattves to Congress and a Legislature
which VIII choose United states SEN
ator. Thus it is natural and right that
national issues should play an impor-
tant part in Names State election.
he paid warm tribute to the worth
of the candidates for Governor AMI
congressman, Hon. j. +. Hill and Hon.
E. c. Burleigh. and said that If he
could in any degree aid in promoting
their election he should feel well re-
paid for his trip from Michigan to
Maine. He sounded Il caution against
apathy or confidence. Don't stay
at home; that is a vote for the other
side.
