The adjourned Democratic state Convention
of Maine met in Bangor Tuesday. General
Charles W. Roberts, OF Bangor, was Nominated
Candidate for Governor, having received all
but two votes in the convention. General
Roberts fought against the rebels in the early
part Of the war, as colonel Of the Second Maine
regiment, nom which he was afterwards pro-
noted to brigadier general. He was an admirer
OF General Me Clellan, and left the army about
the time Mcclellan was superseded. Since that
time he has acted with the Democratic party
he Is personally popular, and had he q weaker
opponent than Sidney Perhsm, would make a
good run, but as it is the nomination Is merely
a complimentary one, and it Is little wonder
that Franklin Smith, the Democratic candidate
OF last year, declined to be put up for slau ghter
The convention threw tub to the Crispins,
who are pretty strong in Maine, by going dead
against John Chinsman, and also inserted An
anti-SIaine liquor law plank In their platform
but party lodges OF this sort are so transparent
that they affect few votes.

Governor Stone and his organs, having
failed in their efforts to induce the people
to believe that Judge Loughridge voted
against the Fifteenth Amendment, are
now busily engaged in circulating the 70.
port that Judge Loughridse sold the post
Office 1t Oskaloosa for ono thousand dol
lars. Knowing that this report had no
better 3oundation than tic other, we did
not think it worth our while to wastc
space in contradicting it, believing that
the people Of Iowa county have too much
good sense to be led away by any such re-
ports. Gov. Stone, however, in speech
At lama City, few days ago, repeated
the falschood, and stated that Mr.. L. did
not and would not dare to deny It, altho'
he know At the time that the Oskaloosa
Herald had published card from Mr.. L.
denying the statement. The story was
repeated to several citizens Of our city By
Major Meyer. Last week wc received :
Communication from Mr.. Loushridge. BY
which Il win be seen that he does deny the
charge, and that most emphatically.-

with degree Of unfairncss and injustice
which j. much to be regretted. So far Al
am concerned, ! have entirely RETAINED

and have remained here during the whole
time, with the exception Of few days
when was homo on q matter Of business
It is to be regretted that contest Of this
kind cannot be carried through without
engcndcsing such acrimonious personal
feelings. naat
As to charge that was made and In
dustrously circulated that l had voted
