"TRUE To HER Instincts. In the discus
sion, at the SO called Democratic State Con-
yention in Bangor, on the choice Of committee
man for Penobscot, one side charged fraud
on the other, stating the fact that % votes had
l,een cast when there were ouly SO delegates.
J. A. Peters, the champion of the popular
soy ereignty side, and the winning side in
that side contest, said that, 1.-THE Democrat
had stated that Penobscot was entitled to 100
votes, and true to her instincts she had thrown
9o.' The amusing fact Of the story is, that
after the convention had roted in three dele
gates more, there appears reported by the
committee on credentials, only % delegates
1t is supposed, therefore, that the speaker
only intended to say that modern democracy
true to her instincts, in this case, smuggled
in votes -n
