The County Convention.

The County Convention.
The republican caucus In Ellsworth
to nominate delegates to the county
convention to be held here next Tues
day win be held next Friday oven
ing. The indications are that there
win be entire harmony at both.
Candidates are to be nominated for
two senators, clerk Of courts, judge Of
probate, sheriff, county attorney, one
county commissioner, register Of
deeds and county treasurer. All the
present incumbents are candidates for
denomination, except Senator Deasy,
who retires after having served two
terms, and no one except DR.. Patton,
OF Bar Harbor, has been mentioned -
his successor.
The only nomination over which
contest appears to be likely ID that Of
county commissioner, and that IL not
against the present incumbent, Capt.
Foss, but against the long established
custom Of giving county commits
sioner two terms Of six years each.
The subordination Of minor differ
ences, il any exist, and q determine
ton to pull together should charac-
terize republican work throughout
the campaign. So far as Hancock
county is concerned, there is every in
dication that harmony will be the
keynote Of the convention and Of the
Senator Deasy Q to preside at the
convention, and there 10 every
reason to believe that his address
will be inspiring, his advice sound and
his predictions safe.

Rep. Swasey "got in" for little speech
the other day in behalf Of the pulp and
paper mills of Maine. He WAS answering
some of the statements about the high
price Of paper which have been current.
Rep. Guernsey 10 just back from short
visit home. He brought cheering word
about the political conditions, and is tell
ing inquirers about the House that Maine
will be solidly republican in September
because the party workers are getting to-
gether and preparing to wage . united and
harmonious campaign.
This il in reality high old week at
Washington. The wheels are turning
rapidly every day. Every evening when
the governments big hired men knock OF
work something has been done. Uncle Sam
has something to show for the money he
spends to pay them. In other words, the
Senate is on the job; the House 10 on the
job, and the President is ON the job. In
cidentally it might be added that the de-
partment officials likewise are attending
religioualy to business and getting things
done. This IL especially refreshing after
the long-drswn-out winter and spring Of
chickering's and contentious.
Business ID fairly whizzing through
Congress. The passage by the Senate OF
the railroad regulation bill was the key
log that held the jam in Legislative chan
nels. There was great universal sign OF
relief when the last roll-call had bee n
there, and every republican went on
record in favor Of the reconstructed bill.
Insurgents ~ well - regulars put their
stamp Of approval upon the measure, and
had some democrats voting with them.
Now there il . great pressure from many
quarters to get the work done and 60 home.
The republicans seem to have settled their
differences over the postal savings bank

week with the Presidents withdrawal-o
public-iands bill. It has passed tho
House, just q the postal savings bank
bill has passed the senate. And when the
Senate il through with graphing with
the withdrawal bill, mp comes the state
hood bill, In al probability.
