the chair A letter was received from Gen.
Franklin Smith, declining a re-nOminatio
Gen: Charles W. Roberts of this city was. then
put in nomination for Governor, receiving all
but two out of 673 votes. The following reso-
lutiOns were adopted:
KesotUed, That the national administration
has proved failure. 1t has violated its sacred
pledges to the people. 1t promised them econ
Omy and faithfulness in national affairs. Int II
has given them extravaganza and corrnntion
Ii promised them republican form of govern.
ment but in many of the States it has estab-
il lIl military despotism, trying thereby to
lntimidate the DeOnle tharoof ssnd,rr1akl, Iiiem
supservient to their wicked rule.
hesoeOed, That the ordinary expenses of the
general ana State governments are sWindled
beyond all precedent and calculation by the
erroneous increase of the number and salaries
OF their ottc In this we find glaring evil
dence OF the existence of a system which ia
rapidly corrupting the public service, robbing
labor OF the bread it has earned and endanper-
ing the liberties of the people.
hesot0ed, That the act passed by the last leg
lslature which withdrew from the peopIe of
the several school districts of this State the
right to regulate the mode of educating their
children as they might deem best, is one of the
many dangerous attempts to abridge the rights
OF our citizens, and abrogates time hOnored
law and usage of this State.
Resolced, That the tariff for protection ia
mainly for the wealthy and the monopolists
That free trade is the right of the people,
ReS0lued, That we invite the thoughtful c IN
sideration OF the people of Maine with whom
shipbullding and freighting have heretofore
Desh SUCCESSFUL pursuits, to the fact that the
seabOard of Maine laneuishes and daily grows
poorer because of vexatious taxation and the
refusal of the Republican administration to
afford adequate legislation.
RESOLVED, That while the De nocratic party
Is IN favor OF judicous regulation by law of
the sale of intoxicating liquors, thew are on
posed to the present prohibitory law and the
restoration of the State Constabuary.
An anti Chinese resolution and resolution
of confidence in their nominee were also adopt
ed. The convention was quite full and very
harmonious. The nomination Of Gen. Roberts
was received with salute Of artillery. A rat
ification meeting was held at Norombega Hall
in the evening.

The venerable Luther Fitch died at his resi-
dence In this city on the 10TH He was born
in Groton, Mass, January %, 1888, and was at
his death 81 years and about seven months old
His grandfather, Zechariah, emigraed from
the county of Essex, England, and established
himself in Reading, Mass. His father was
born in Bedford, formerly a part of Billerica,
in 1872, and moved early in life to Groton.
Luther was the youngest son of his third wife.
He received his preliminary education in the
schools of his native town and at Groton Aca-
DENY, and entered Dartmouth College, from
which he took his degree in 1907. He COM
menced the study of law with Hoo. Dudley
Chase of Vermont, aud completed it IN the
office of Dana & Richardson, at Groton, and
was admitted to the bar of Middlesex in 1916.
Mr.. Fitch. soon after being admitted to the
bar, came to Westbrook and opened an Office
in the village of Saccarappa. succeeding Peter
Thacher, Esq., who had opened an Office in that
place in 1904, but who, just before Mr.. Fitch
came there, had returned to Gorham. Here
he continued in the practice of law very sue
cessfully and accumulated considerable prop
erty. In 1920, on the organization of the State
of Maine, he was appointed Attorney for the
County of Cumberland by Gov King. This
Office he held until the establishment of the
Muncip pal Court in Portland in 1926, when he
was appointed the first Judge by Gov Paris.
The law establishing this Court specially pro.
vided that the Judge should not, in any case,
act as counsellor or attorney in any court. By
his acceptance of this Office Judge Fitch was
withdrawn from practice Soon afterward he
removed to Portland where he has ever since
resided
Judge Fitch was one of the most faithful,
scrupulous and conscientious men that ever
presided in that Court. So popular was he in
the administration of justice that he held the
Office by successive appointments until 1854,
period of twenty nine years, whe he had arriv-
ed at the age of II years. He was an honest
and impartial judge, and his uaiform endeavor
was in every case to render just and impair
tial judgment. On retiring from the bench of
this court he did not res lme active law bust
ness, but rested from his long and laborious la.
bors.
The family of Judge Fitch are all living. He
leaves a wife and eight children-five daugh.
tiers and three sons. DR.. Josiah Blake of Har-
rison married the eldest daughter; Hon. Sam
uel F. Perley of Naples, married another;
Henry E. Perley, Esq, married a third and
the youngest is the widow of the late Henry
Willis, Esq. One of the sons is a surgeon in
the army, another physician in California
He has gone down to the grave at a ripe old
age, loved and honored by all who knew him,
without an enemy earth, and 10 full hope of
glorious resurrection.
