THE special correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser concludes his report of the Saco
Convention as follows:
After adjournment, knots of the seceders
gathered about the door, but it appears that
they had cooled off Internationally since the York
County Indignation meeting. Many who Sc
coded declared openly that they should sup
port Mr.. Lynch with all their strength. The
dissenson was OF course unfortunate, but it
must be remembered that only 70 out of 26S
withdrew. York County sent 121. II all the
seceders were York County delegates, as is
claimed, the County still had torty-two who
took part in the ballot, and are of course
bound by the result. Add to this the fact
that many of the seceders will 60 all they can
for Mr. Lynch, and it will be by no means
very difficult thing for the Republicans to car
ry the district, especially as the action by the
Democratic State convention yesterday has
caused serious division in the democratic
ranks.
The Maine Democrat is evidently disturb
ed at " the lame and impotent conclusion, of
the recent Democratic State Convention. and
says:
BY reference to official report of proceed
lneS IN aoolher column it will be seen that the
Democratic State Convention assembled on
tuesday, not to nominate candidate for Gov
efnof, but to adjourn to meet at Bangor. on
Tue lay, August 16, with an erparte pro-
gra ne, and in the spirit" of the call of the
state committee as construct by persons in
FAVOR OF the adjournment. The programme
was sustained by the convention, as announc-
e0 oy considerable majority. We consider
the vote no indication of the convention as TO
candidate, or as to the supposed object of
the resolution. as collateral questions. not the
resolution were discussed to so late an hour.
That many felt that in any event thew
should be unable to nominate candidate that
gay, and therefore voted to adjourn indepen-
dent OF any other consideration.
This action" may have been I" eminently
wlse," but not being in the spirit of prophecy,
We wait the development of events. In the
meantime let our friends take the "second
sober thought" and try again.
The EDITOR of the Bangor Democrat, the
organ OF the old-line, hardshell, wildcat, fossil
wing OF the Democratic party, discusses very
Drleny the action OF the late convention in
THIS city, and expresses the feelings and senti-
ments of the anti, coaltionists in the follow
ing paragraphs:
me presiding officer who was partisan of
the Chamberlain movement, very 1judiciousiu
appointed the tellers to make count of the
"
ment with single exception.
BY which he means that somebody was
cheated. He continues:
This action the Convention was humiliat-
ing indeed. 1t Is not Tor us at present to
speak OF the prime notifies of these me-, who
inauguratei the movement, and who took ad-
vantage OF the thin representation from re-
mote counties to effect a purpose which was
attempted last year. in the State Convention
IN Nofombesa Hall, but which was so sum-
marily and overwhelmingly defeated.
But good, graf good, may yet grow out of
TINS action. The Convention in Norombega
Han, on the 10Th of August, will be fully at
teaacd. The delegates will give forth no I'M
certain sound in their selection of a candidate
and in their resolutions. Then will stand bu
Their orgdntzd ion. They will not grovel in
Ine DUST before Governor Cham berlain or any
other Republican. ''
