DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
NnDcCcrCp Macs A,,r "a

The Democratic State Convention met
here to-day and was largely attended. Chas.
J.. Woodbury. was chosen President. The
Convention nominated John Quincy Adams
for Governor, and completed the State ticket
us follows: For Lieut. Governor, S. o. Lamb
of Greenfield; Secretary of State, John K. Tar
boT Of Lawr ence; Treasurer, Mr.. Haywood
of Gardiner; for Attorney General j. G. Alb
bolt of Boston; Auditor, Phineas Allen of
Pittsfield. Resolutions were adopted in sub
stance that the Democratic party, acquiescing
in settled results, should turn their attention
from the issues Of yesterday to those Of TO-
day demand economy in expenses denounce
Republicans for swelling the State debt by
grants Of State aid to private enterprises; pro-
lest against the public scandal Of long Legis-
lativc sessions; declare that the limitations Of
the elective franchise is unjust and should be
repealed; arraigns the Republicans for refus-
ing to leg islate tn favor Of the workingmen
and declares the prl22hibitQry law an outrage

EORECASTlNG THE MAINE ELECTION.

The Bangor Democrat, which has a fancy
for facts snd figures and in times past has
made som, singularly accurate predictions
of thu popular vote, has put forth an estimate
of the result of this years election in Maine.
Wh:'" to Us it appears somewhat rose-color-
ed, still we are frce-to confess that such re-
suit will not surprise US. When the Jam is
breaking, rs it now appears to be, there is
no telling how fast Or fur the torrent may
sweep. Prophesying that there will be no
choice Of Governor By the people, the Demo-
crat proceeds to say
In oar Judgment the total vote Of the State
Will be about 20 per cent. less than last year,
when the excitement was very great, and
every vote in the State was poled. Owing
to the disscntons in the Republican ranks
their vote will fall off much more largely
than the Democratic vote. From the best
we can obtain we should Judge
that the entire Republican vote (both' Wings
will fall OF 25 per cent, and the Democratic
vote II per cent. Ilichboln we should Judge
will poll one seventh q the Republican vote
On this basis the vote Of the State by counties

SOME LIGHT ON CONGRESSIONAL. MAT


| A, J. Grover, q correspondent of the Port
land Transcript, writing from Santa Fe, lets
| in some light upon the manner in which
members of Congress manage the railroads
through the new countries, and make them
selves rich out Of the swindles on the people.
He says
| We were forty-eight hours going from Leayen-
worth to Sheridan over the X. Z. r. r., which by
the way, is the most gigantic swindle of the age, IN
less the Union Pacific is greater. The track is
laid on the prairie sod, with no cuts or fills worthy
of the name, with very sharp curves and heavy.
steep grades, (f it is not MISSIONER to call climb
ing the side Of bill, on he prairie sod gradc) no
masonry, sod culycrts, and courthouse bridges. The
people advanced $4,000 per mile and gave half the
public lands on each side of the road, for twenty
miles in width rcscrving first lien on the road TO
secure tho payment Of the money and interest and
they were to have first class road There has not
been expended exceeding $4,000 per mile the com
panv pockatng $4,000 per mile and the land. In
addition to this Congress has been bribed into re-
leasing the first lien Of the people, and allowing the
company to issue first mortgage bonds for $1U,0
per me--lnembers Of Congress getting liberal
share of these bonds, for selling out the people, and
the company pocketing the balance, in addition to
the $4,000 profit in building the road-Wheh, in
stead OF being first class road, Is no road at all
Every little shower washes away the sod eufYertS
and disables the road. The mails. within the last
three weeks. have been delayed more than ten days
DttNttll lCtNenW)Illl ailtt Alt SllOt-
maker & Co. will have The face to ask Congress,
next winter for further subsidies. at much larger
rate per mile, to build the road beyond Sheridan.
With this view Committee of Congress has re-
Gently been totcd over the road and champagnci
and branded, probably bribed into voting what the
Company require.
We are glad that the Transcript, which has
always had an alectonatc leaning toward
the party in power. is possessed Of the indie
pcndence to spread these facts before the public
What is true Of the road alluded to, is true OF
all that have been built by subsidies Of money
or land obtained from Congress. The nation
al banks, the bondholding monopoists, and
these swindling railroad companies ellectual-
ly control Congress and bride it to vote what
ever is demanded. The whole administra-
ton is run in the loosest possible manner
While congressman are thus ''champaigned
and 5randied' over the country. or are spend
ing profllsely in Europe the money robbed
from the people, Grant has +. serted his post
at Washington to be toad. i and wincl by
all the sycophants in the country, the Secre-
tary Of the Navy is cruising in one of the
finest national ships at tie cost of $1,000 per
day. Business is at a stand still, taxes are
crushingly eXorbitant-andin short, the coun-
try is going to the devil al a two-forty pace

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Ohio seems to be waking up betimes for the
October State election. 1t is the first State I'M
less Tennessee be excepted to wake up and
take live interest in politics since the Presi-
DENTAL Election. Gen. Sam. +. Cary, who
has Joined his political fortunes stluarely with
the Democrats, has already started on a tour
through the State to address the workingmcn
in favor Of Pendleton. The signs of the times
in Ohio look well for a Democratic triumph
The Radical press does not conceal its alarm
at the prospect While protesting to believe
in the recollection Of Gov. Hayes, (who is as
popular u man AS they can bring torward)
they admit that it will require all that the radi-
Gals can do, with the aid Of the Grant Admin
iston, to secure such result. We see it stated
that Ben Wade admits, openly, that the State
is lost to the Republicans and that Pendleton
will be elected. The Grant Administration
has broken down Ito use the Grant illustra-
tion), like a foundered horse, at the start
If Ohio follows Kentucky, New York, Virgin
ia and Tennessee, it will be the coup de grace
to the firm Of Grant & Boutwell,. That res
pectable political house will have to give up
business, and acknowledge that Interfering
with elections don't pay.
The indications certainly do look en-
couraging. Since the President and his Cab
met are off junketing, and official business is
left to take care OF itself, and no news is tel
egraphed from Washington, that hitherto busy
news-factory may be permitted to give
our readers, in the absence Of more important
matters, an item or two from Ohio to show
how the tide is running -
J. A. Joyce, in a communication to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, says Il have severed my
self from the Republican party, because it is
an organized hypocricy, a shul1lng dissimu-
alton, a fraud, delusion and a snare a
combination Of grasping fanatics, fattening
on the vital of the wealth-producers and
wealth distrihutors of the country chal-
lenge any member Of the Republican party to
a public discussion on the national banks, as
believe it is a selfevident proposition that
they are founded on injustice and unfairly
derive net profit from the country of twenty
millions Of dollars per annum."
The Brown county (Ohio) News says that
since Pendleton's nomination for Governor
James P. Kimball, Esq, a promising young
lawyer of Georgetown, who has been on the
Republican Executive Committee the past
year, and which position was rendered him
this campaign, has declared his intention to
renouncc the Republican party and vote for
Pendleton.

WASHINGTON COUNTY NOMINAL
THE COMING ELECTION.

We feel that little need be said to our friends
concerning the Importance Of the election on
the 18th No Democrat can fail to see the adj
yantages which we have over those Of any
previous contest for the past ten or twelve
years. We trust there will be 10 apathy,
GOODNESS or Indifference, hut that every true
man viii be encouraged by this state Of things
to do what he can towards bringing out the
full Democratic vote. Quiet elections have
always proved advantageous to lis. and we
lose in those cxcitements where the preiudices
and passions Of men are appealed to, and
their reason taken captive by the gauds and
glitter Of campaigns. We trust our friends
will see TO it that quiet, effective labor is done
between this time and the day Of voting as
well AS on that day.

The THIRD PARTY LOCALLY.

We give pretty fun report of the HIGH
born mems County Convention in this city,
on Saturday last, as matter of public inter
est. And we confess to q surprise not only
at the numbers present, but at the spirit and
determination manifested, They proceeded
as calmly and confidently to the work of Sc
Letting candidates and laying down q plat
form as though their organization had existed
for years, had fought and won political bat
ties, and felt certain that the candidates
named would in the fullness of time be duly
indicted into office. They certainly acted
like men who were marking out road that
they meant to travel in, and from which they
could not easily be turned
1t was this calm determination that the
Chamberlain men felt to be worst feature of
the case. 1t did not look like coming back in
hurry. The temper Of the Convention was
as fierce as its action was determined The
Chamberlain speech of Rev. Mr.. Parker
drew from the Chairman a reioinder, the fire
and unhinching pluck of which no report cal
do justice to. When it had been seconded by
the striking nautical picture drawn in the
speech of Mr.. Hichborn, in which ever
that usually calm speaker was aroused, the in
PRODUCER of the Chamberlain firebrand APP
tpeared to feel as though he had stirred up ;
very unexpected hornets nest.
The argument from all this is that these
men are resolved to 60 it alone in this elec
ton, and to reject in the future all overtures
hibition and the Constabulary in the party
platforms We hear on every hand reports
of their numbers, means and organization
They claim from eight hundred to a thousand
votes in Waldo County, and appearances in
dictate that they will get them.

MORE DISCLOSURES.

| One after another the secret machines by
which the radical filch from the pockets Of
the people and keep themselves in power are
being brought to light. The most notable Of
q recent date is the disclosure of Col. Wood,
late head of the secret service Of the Treasury
| Department, the man who did or caused to be
done the secret burrowing Of the adminstra-
/ ton, and therefore knows what he is talking
I about.
| lie diyulges the history Of the negro post
master, Turner, and a sorry spectacle it pre-
SCENTS of Turner and Schurcman, his intimate
treasury notes was stolen and came into pos
session Of Turner. An agent Of the treasury
department, Neil, arrested Turner, and was
dismissed from the service for interfering in
the direct line of his duty. This dismissal,
Col. Wood states, was made to shield the
treasury department from completely with The
negro thief and his partner Schurelnan.
Readers will recollect that 4 large amount
Of spurious seven-thirty bonds, said to be
SIC, 900, was circulated and redeemed with
out detection of their bogus nature. These,
Wood intimates, went into Boutwell's pocket.
He accuses Boutwell, Of running the gov
eminent in debt for new printing presses and
sacrificing the excellent machinery on hand,
money. .
Heavy frauds in bank note paper he traces
and attributes to the secretary.
Wood relates that he was offered ten thou
sand dollars for information that would con-
Wet President Johnson; that the oiln' was
made by Mr. Matchett OH behalf of Mr.. Bout
well. Col Wood declined the offer, and now
states that Boutwell, was the person making
the offer. He regards Johnson as far sup
elor in veracity, integrity and honesty to
Boutwell, as the monday sun is superior in
brilliancv to the dim tlickering of q two cent
candle.'
These secret service men are themselves
none too honest. Generally they are selected
Oh the principle of the old adage ''set a rogue
to catch a rogue" If Wood is a rogue he
proves himself less one than Boutwell,,
From the falling out OF these radicals one
thing seems likely to happen, if honest men
do not get their due, it is quite apparent
that the conduct of the rogues themselves
viii be fully ventilated The public will wait
anxiously to hear what Boutwell, says to it.
It Is a comfortable reflection for Democrats
that all this miserable demoralizing and sick
ching sneaking and prying into mems affairs
is of radical invention. While the Democracy
were in power such things We're unknown,
and when they have turned out the radical Of
iicals their first care will be to dispense with
this rotten machinery. Ii belongs to the cor
ruptionS Of monarchical governments, and is
diSgGacctil in 4 free government.

Our boys were beaten in the rowing match
on the Thames, but beaten in an exceedingly
close run, and by men whose whole expert
ence had been on the narrow and crooked
river where the race took place. Their pluck
and splendid qualities extorted admiration
from the victors and from all who saw OF
read Of the encounter, 1t is reported that
they will challenge thevictors to another trial
in American waters, where the Yankees will
have the advantages that the Oxfords enjoyed
on the Thames, of being at home. 1t is a
satisfaction that no complaint Of injustice, in
reference or unfairness is madc--but that
the Harvards had everything which was de-
manded by fair play.
