THE DUTY OF FORK.

Is York county prepared to be coerced into
submission This is the programme Of the Of
fco-holders who are strain'ng every nerve to
secure Lynch's denomination. He is at home
to see how they work and urge them on. Since
his "shipping Bill'' was consigned to the tomb
by his Encouragement and bad temper, he felt
that his services were not required In Washing
ton, and 80 he has come to Portland, and been
visiting WATERFORD, Alfred, Sanford, and other
towns in York, to look after his federal appoint
ees and hear their reports Of work done in his
behalf Formerly 1t was the practice to ap-
point public officers with particular reference to
the support Of the party and fidelity to the gov
eminent. But under the new order introduced
by Mr.. L., the appointments are made and re-
movals effected with sole reference to his person.
al exaltatiou. To such an extent has this been
done. that many Of our intelligent and sub
stantial republicans have become thoroughly
disgustci, and do not feel willing to be used for
any such purposes. ...
They do not intend to have their allegianceto the
party measured by their devotion to Mr.. Lynch,
nor to be coerccd by the denunciations Of his
paper into the support Of a man who uses all
his official patronage in utter disregard Of par
ty usage and precedents. "
York will remember the example which Cum
berland gave her in 1862. AT that time John
N. Goodwin came forward for his second re-
nomination as Representative. Many republic
cans in Cumberland were dissatisfied with him
by reason Of his neglect Of their interests and
his selfish rgard for his own. His peculiar
manifestations Of mercenary spirit were SINH
lar in character. though smaller in degree, to
those Of our present representative, although
Goodwin was never distinguished for that re-
markable sa0aeify which could make use Of
public sop like the Surycyorship Of Portland, to
secure the support Of his opponents. Cumber-
land presented several candidates, Vinton,
Drummond, Brown, Weston, and Lynch,
and insisted upon York's taking one Of them.
But Goodwin had secured nearly oil the York
delegates by means Of the patronage given him
under the Internal Revenue Act. And singu-
lar as Il may seem, Lynch's support In York
comes mainly from his patronage under
the same Law. It Is only necessary to refer to
his Assessor Knowlton and two Of the Assistant
Assessors, with their family friends. scattered
over that county to prove the fact. So York
pushed GOodwin's claims, and finally succeeded
on account Of the division in Cumberland in
securing his nomination. But what was the
result, Hundreds Of Republicans In Portland
and Cumberland county were 50 dissatisfied that
they wouid not rois for Aim Hence. Goodwin
was defeated.
Now the cases are reversed. York presents
several candidates aud says that Lynch has had
three tcrms-onc more than party usage cnti-

Last evening the adjourned caucus was called
to order q, 8 o'clock and the balloting for the
remaining six delegates was resumed. The polls
were kept open one hour and on counting the
votes the Lynch delegates had 105, and the
York county delegates had $50, thus keeping
Biddeford in line by sending solid delegation
who win vote only in the coming convention for
q candidate residing in York county.
The great interest manifested on both sides in
this contest was owing to the fact that both felt
the contest in hiscity to be the turning point
In the canvass. and with 50 much at stake the
good feeling manifested on both sides throughout
the battle, with few rare exceptions which
were only temporary, is in the highest degree
to oil parties.

tiguous counties and John NJ. Wood Of Port
land was nominated. Amer serving two NOM
nations, Cumberland conceded the nomination
to York. Mr.. Goodwin served two nomina-
tons, and without q question York conceded II

plead for a denomination because II he was
not sent back he would be tainted with defeat
because he voted for impeachment On that
ground with others voted to waive our claims
