among all the delegates, from whom the
slightest reference ('0 Reed did not call
’forth a demonstration of some sort.

“From that most worthy delegation the

ability, wisdom, integrity and honor are
beyond question; who has demonstrated
his fearlscsness and courage ever to stand
by his convictions: whose record is clear
on questions of protective tarlfl and honest
money; who is in himself a platform of
Republican principles—that brilliant lead-
er and matcbless parliamentarian, Thom-
as B. Read."
At the mention 'of Reed’s name by the
speaker at the close of his address the
cheering continued, ever lncreaslng in
strength and volume, for fully five mili-
utes.
The platform adopted'le as follows:
“The Republicans of Maine gladly joln’
with their brethren in other states in pro-
sentlng be the Republicans of the nation
for promotion to the presidency the speak-
er of the national bones of representatives} '
He needs noplntform but the record of his
life. '
“He is opposed to the free and unlimit-
ed colniigc of silver except by interns

ment can be obtained believes the present
gold standard should be maintained."
