WHAT Is DEMoCRAT?-An evening ma

the last municipal election in this city, an i
which encouraged the bolt tt at lately resulted
IN the election OF two Democrats to the Leg
islature from this city, says "it is impossible to
hear Chamberlain called Democrat without
laughing" Very likely. But our evening
contemporary goes Oil triumphanlly in this
foolish fashion:
Suppose he were elected Senator. Is it i'm
aglned that he would restore the system of
African slavery? or introduce a bill revving
tne rebelllon? or vote to repeal the acts of re-
construction? Would he propose to make
Booths birthday a national holiday. or to
erect statue to Andy johnson in the Sen
ate chamber?
And so on ad nauseam. Suppose we sub
stitute the name of Horatio Seymour or even
jeff Davis for that of Gov. Chamberlain
Would Seymour "restore slavery" "revive the
rebellion" "repeal the reconstruction acts,'
&c.9 Probably not; yet there are people
who believe that he is Democrat, and hay-
ing foolish, old-fashioned prejudice in favor
of the Republican party, they would prefer to
send Republicans to the Senate. We do not
allege that Governor Chamberlain is Demo-
crat, but we maintain that the Advertisers
defence is an exceedingly lame one, the only
possible conclusion 10 be drawn from it being
that it is matter of no conceivable impor
lance whether he is a Democrat Or not.

THURSDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The dust in this city for the past few days
has been almost unendurable and this disa-
greeable circumstance, joined with the hot sun
which has beat down upon the unshel.ered
grounds, drove off great many people yes
terday, noticed, but their places were filled
by newcomers, SO there seemed to be no diminu
ton of the crowd at the grounds and the State
House. The pecuniary success of the Fair
seems to be assured-at least will be no loss to
the Society, but more likely small balance in
the treasury after the bills are paid.
The first thing on the programme at the
ground was an exhibition of geldings and fill
lies of four years old and under. There were
about twenty animals shown. Mr.. j. w. Nc.
Duffee of Portland took the first prize with his
horse Nitre, and the second was given to Ira
d. Sturgis Of Augusta. The exhibition of
prize animals in procession followed this.
Judging from the display am inclined 10 think
all the successful animals were not out; but
the show was highly pleasing and very credita-

self upon the minds of the Pennsylvanians
that our State occupied the position of the

IHE Cause.-The other day we reluctantly
published the fact that Mr.. L. A. Emery, the
Republican candidate for County Attorney in
Hancock county was defeated at the late cleo.
toni Since then it has been made known te
us that the cause of Mr. Emery's defeat was
his fidelity to his oath of office. His rigorous
enforcement of the liquor law created MANY
enemies, who sought revenge at the polls. The
american says of Mr.. Emery:
He deserved better fate at the hands of the
party that put him in nomination, being q
most competent and faithful public officer, q
good Citizen and neghbor.
This occurrer ce shows the Inconsistency
which sometimes takes possession Of the people
While statute is on the books let it be OBJ
served and enforced. If we mean nothing by
the liquor law let it be entirely repealed. We
nave no doubt Mr. Emery feels better in mi
norlty with consciousness of duty we'll per-
formed, than he would to succeed at the ex-
pense of his self-respect.

The New York Democratic Convention

The New York Democratic Convention.
In connection with the record of this Con-
vention, the following from the editorial COL
umns of the New York Free Press will be of
interest. The Free Press is the new anti
Tammany Democratic organ
The Democratic State Convention. which
il orsanlzed to- day at Rochester, will be fruit
less les orreea!ts vital to the cause OF Democracy.
Inc situation Is fui-ed- mach more critical
: thal the oligarchy imagine. The session wi II
not be a very long one, since it has bees I'm
derslood for some time in advance that IN.
old ticket entire is to be nominated. Among
the important business of the session will be
the decision on the rights of the Irregular,
Democratic delegates to hearing. How this
point will be settled is yet in doubt; but one
thing is certain. ii they be refused hearing
the result will be the defeat of Hoffman at the
November election.
The Regular" Democratic delegates were
not only refused "hearing," but were liter
ally kicked out of the convention. They seem
to be preparing to assert their rights: and
unless bought off, will create some trouble for
Tamminy in the ensuing election.

WASHINGTON Goss1p.-A dispatch from

WASHINGTON Gossp.-A dispatch from
Washington says:
Now that is definitely known that Senator
Williams, of Oregon, will not return to the
Senate, it is said the President will tender him
the position of Solicitor General of the United
States. This office, with a salary of $1,000 a
year, was created during the last session of
Congress, but has never been filled.
A very formidable effort is making to have
the President revoke the appointment of Vice
Admiral Rowan. Numerous charges have
been made against him, which tend to show
that his promotion was not within the spirit of
the law. If the President fails to recognize
these charges, they will be made to the Senate
with view to Rowan's rejection.
