A Monstrous Lie.

In the singular account which the
Press of this morning (Juno SOY gives OF
the interesting proceedings ut tho District
Convention, not one word is said about
tho withdrawal of the York delegates.
On the contrary, it is distinctly stated in
the following extract of their report, tha,
no one did withdraw
Judge Davis novel that the convention pro-
ceed to ballot for candidate. Some confusion
ensuel and some Of the York County delegates
started 10 sccele, which was prevented 10y the
firm action Of the chairman and by the
protest Of Mr. Jefferson Sargent Of KeDncbunk,
who said that he should stand by the nominee,
whether his own personal preferences were graf.
ifed or not.
Some started to sccedc but were prcrcnt-
od by the firm action of the chairman
And this monstrous falschood the Press
attempts to palm of on its Portland read
crs with the same unblushing coldness
which has marked many proceeding state
mcnts relating to the York delegates, and
the fcelingin York County. Their princi-
pie seems to be that any means or repre-
scntations arc justifable whether true or
false TO win succcss-like tho father who
told his son rs he was starting out to act
for himself in life. "John," said he, "get
rich honestly if YOU can, 6m get rich"
1t is not surprising therefore that the
people here were not expecting any such
firm and decided action by the York dele
gates, and many feel that the ~iym per
sistenco of Mr.. Lynch and his paper and
his subordinate o flee holders have, in vio-
la,ing the rights of York rs conceded by
the convention of 1868 and by the usage
of the District, LEFT no other course To
men who had any regard for the success
of the party or their own self respect, ex-
cept that which the Y ork delegates adopted
with so much unanimity.
