of his address or the manner of its
delivery.
That Governor Cobb will be re-
nominated goes without saying. For
steadfastness of purpose, for courage
and determination he has been sur
passed by few, if any, in long line
of illustrious predecessors, and it is
hardly to be supposed that these
sturdy qualities will fail of recogni-
ton in substantial way at the con-
ventiou.
The only point on which there is
likely to be difference of opinion is
over the matter of resubmission, and
the results of caucuses and county
conventions indicate that sentiment
is strongly against it. To what ex-
tent, if at all, the Sturgis law will be
discussed is problematical. Since the
governors address before the Deering
republican club a few months ago,
little has been said about this law.
Whether or not the Sturgis law was
the best for the purpose intended, the
governor made it plain that the pur-
pose was directly in line with the
party's pledges at the last State con-
vention, and was approved by him
with that purpose clearly in view.
We look for an enthusiastic and
harmonious gathering, and platform
upon which all good citizens, with the
welfare of our good old State at
heart. can stand with pride and salts
faction.

Nellie, wife of Levi A. wyman, formerly
Of Ellsworth, died at her home in South
Pasadena, Cal, Sunday, after long ILL
ness, aged thirty-nine years.
Mrs. wyman was the daughter of the
late James T. Cushman, OF this city. She
went to California about twelve years ago
with her husband for the benefit OF his
health, and the devoted wife is now the
first to 90.
In early life Mrs. Wyman united with
the Methodist church in this city, and
adorned her profession with a calm and
beautiful life. Much sympathy is felt for
the mother and other members OF the
family here, whose sorrow is intensified
by the thought that they could not be
with her to minister to her in her last
days A friend of the family here con-
tributes this verse:
Asleep In Jesusl Par from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be;
But thine is still blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep"
