"Ey AccIamation as Matter Of

(Biddeford Journal.


The denomination of Governor Hill
by reclamation was taken as Il mat
ter Of course, the only appropriate
recognition of his admirable record
during his first term of office. No resi- =
dent of the state, whether political
friend or foe, can find anything Ia
criticise in the financial showing OF
Hills common sense, business admin
istration. on July u, next, the last
installment of the states temporary
leans will be paid by the treasurer, and
Maine will then owe nothing above its
bonded debt. When Governor Hill
assumed the duties of his office in
January. 1901. the state owed $500, 900
of temporary loans. OF this sum
$50. 900 was raised on account of the
Spanish war and the balance was Dor
rowed on account of the construction
of the new insane hospital at Bangor
and for other incidental state expendi-
lures. The legislature of 1901 was
kept within reasonable bounds by the
influence of Governor Hill, who desired
to wipe out the temporary loans before
consenting to any marked increase in
the running expenses. The result of
this business-like foresight was that
within one month of the inauguration
of Governor Hill 100000 in temporary
loans were paid and the interest
stopped: and in one month more the

PLEASANT WORDS FOR GOV. HILL
What Maine Papers Say of His Re-
nomination.
High Honor To Worthy Man"

r1lQn f1ONOE z w OFCny war.
Bangor NeWs).
The Republicans of Maine united in
paying high honor to Il worthy !nan at
the convention in Portland, Wednes-
day. Few men are endowed with the
natural graces and tact which Or. Hill
possesses. He has made Il graceful
ana Gignified Governor of Maine. a
chief magistrate who has not only per-
follrcd all Of his official duties to the
satisfaction of every citizen, but d per-
son who has iabored hard to benefit
the State in every way. He las de-
voted much time and attention to the
details of his office, striving-often q
great sacrifice to himself-to do his
full duty by the people. As organizer
and promoter of the Old Home Week
movement, as an earnest worker in be-
half of the Mckinley memorial and as
d patient and conscientious man Of af-
fairs. he has made his good influence
felt in every part of the State. The
high honor which has come to him for
the second time was richly deserved.
The convention was an enthusiastic
one. The platform had the true Re
publican tone. The delegates as
sembled with full confidence Of sue
cess, and went home with the assur-
ance Of triumph. From now on to the
September election let every loyal citi-
zen of Maine work for the largest pos
sible majority Let there be no luke
warmneSs, no Waverng. The cause is
a just one and the victory is sure. Now
roll up a rOusing majority.
