Maine Democratic State Convention

BANGOR. Me-. June II. lrI2.
The Democratic State Convention
assembled i'll Norombega Hall. in thi,
city, this forenoon. for the purpose %
nominating Il candidate for Governor
two candidates for Electors at Larg,
for president and VIC" president, aud I.
choose four Delegates at Large To tn,
Baltimore Convention.
The Convention was one of the larg
est holden 10y the party for Years. an,
every section of the state was repre-
scented.
The Convention was organized 10y the
election of Hon. James {. Madigan al
! HoltOn as chairman. On assuming tn,
chair he addressed the Convention al
some length, reviewing the position al
the democratic party, and according Il
his idea the party must fasten to Hor-
ace Greeley for buoy OF they sink
never more to rise.
| Hon. VIM. II. McCrillis of Bangor
then took the stand and made one OF
the most powerful speeches delivered
during the session of the Convention
He spoke in eulogistic terms of Horace,
Greeley and his nomination at Cincin-
natl. He acquiesced in the nomination
of Horace Greeley. He represented an
object and II principle dear t" every
Democratic heart.
He heartily approved of the Cimcin-
matt platform. which contained the
soundest of Democratic principles. \
regencrate spirit was abroad among he
people. There Was revolution IN the
land. 1t will carry Horace Greeley
into the White House. The demo
cratic party is not dead. but il will at
tend the funeral of the Republican
party on the fourth of next NOV emhcl.
In conclusion he presented the name
of Hon. Charles Il. kimball of Portland
as the standard bearer of the Democr;t-
cy for Governor. and moved that he he
nominated 10y acclamatiou. The mo-
ton was received with rupturous ap-
pause; when it subsidized William H.
Clifford of Portland arose and seconded
the motion i'll IL few spirited remarks.
during which he handsomely compi-
mented MIR. kimball and indorsed the
wisdom of the Convention in the choice
MIR. kimbalGS nomination WAS re
ceived with rouSing cheers.
In the afternoon Mr.. kimhall came
into the hall, and in short speech ac-
cepted the nomination.
Mr.. Clifford, of the Committee on
Resolutions reported the following:
Resolred. That the principles euumer-
ated 10y the late Cincinnati Convention,
taken in connection with the letter of
Horace Greeley accepting the nomina-
ton of that Convention. constitute the
platform i'll which all elements in oppo-
sition to the present corrupt Admins
tratiOn of the Federal Government can
stand. and we hereby adopt as the
platform of the Democracy of Maine the
following propositions of Horace Gree
ley's letter.
Then follows Mr.. Greeley's epitome
of the Cincinnati platform, which has
already been placed before our readers
i'll Greeley's letter.
Several other resolutions followed
but much of the same type of the first,
and the Convention wound up amid the
liveliest enthusiasm and cheers for
Greeley and Brown.

Star makes this mistake which is vital
to the whole question.
Its influences are wrong because it
argues from wrong premises. The Stars
sense of candor is such that we could
hardly believe it would attempt to con-
denim one out of his own mouth, and
then mutilate or suppress his words
The meaning of the quotation which the
Star made with so much unctiOn. would
have been changed had it copied the
following sentences, which were part of
the paragraphs it did give:
"ApOthecaries claim that they cannot
carry on their business without break
ing the letter of the liquor law. OF
course INSCRIPTIONS men in the bust
ness turn this to account, and many of
the drug stores of the country are SIM
ply retail rum shops. 1t seems to us
that there is one way out of the dilemma
i'll which the druggists are placed and
that is, to send all applicants for liquors
to the agency. except where said liquors
are to be compounded with medicines"
As regards the latter part of the arti-
Gle, the Star panders to very un-
worthy sentiment in community, when
it undertakes to ridicule man s CLOTHES,
his personal appearance, or his standing
III society. In fact this whole article
bears unmistakable marks of its
origin The editor of the Star has had
his ears filled by some parties in this
town who are never happy unless they
can befoul their neighbors with their
own envious slime. 1t is Il matter of
regret that they this time secured SO
uniformly canded and hightoned jour
nal us the Star to do their dirty work.
They have generally employed papers
more i'll keeping with their low tastes.
As to the temperance lecture the Star
reads the CdledOnidH, We accept and
through, and rejoice that the cause has
secured such an earnest advocate as the
Star. Our readers well know the ground
we take. In the CaledOnida of May IL.
We said Total abstinence Is safe any
mean between that and habtual drink
ing is dangerous" We welcome all
who can subscribe to that creed.
One word as to buying liquor for med
zeal purposes. 1t strikes us that those
who go to Il drug store for their liquors.
even for the best Uses. are the last ones
to complain of the druggist for break
ing the law. They invite him to break

Disingenuous Pettifogging.

The last North Star has Il lengthy al
ticle on the late temperance movement
in our town. Some of its statements
are decidedly disiugenuOus and unfair
and as the CdIci0nidn comes in for a
large share of its disapprobation, we
propose reply to some of its asser-
tions.
! The star begins with IL eulogy OF
States Attorney Davis, who, it says
has been unusually active and vigilant
in terreting ont and bringing offenders
of the law to justice, his operations
being ''principally confined to the vii
lage of st. JohnsbIuy." We are very
glad if we have a States Attorney who
will honestly execute the liquor law
/ TIVE have had enough of the other kind
even if he confines his operations prin-
cipallN to st. Johnshury. But even OIL
this point ''anthorities differ" Oul
police have felt as though they had he
gun IL work of reform in the matter of
liquor selling III this village, and that
they were i'll Il way to stop the traffic
altogether: and they looked upon the
action of the States Attorney III begin
ming suits against parties whom they
We're already dealing with, somewhat
perance people generally are not in
clincd to discriminate, but hail the
advent of any one who will execute the
law.
The star proceeds "In relation to
rum selling, st. Johnsbury has for II
long time had the creditor rather dis
grace of selling more Intoxicating
liquor than any other town in Northern
Vermont
We do not admit this. On the con
trary we think st. Johnshury has had
the credit of being one of the most
thoroughly temperance towns among
all the larger places of the state-and
we also think it has earned and deserves
that credit. If there is place of equal
size in the state where Il less amount of
liquor is sold as Il beverage, we have
vet to learn of it. And this writer in
the Stdr,-who is tolerably well ac-
quainted in st. Johnsbury- as
we'll as anybody that we have no open
bars, and no places where Intoxicating
liquor is sold, unless surreptitiously.
Does he know of any other town in the
state of its size where the same can be
said Yet we presume that it is true
that our place has men III it who sell
liquor when they think they can do it
without being found out it is to rid
the place of these that temperance folks
are working.
The Star next proceeds to the case of
Mr.. Bingham, and puts to us the fol-
ing cOnundrum: IF Mr.. Bingham has
not violated the law will the CaledOnian
tell us Why he plead guilty ?" BY re-
terring to the article in the Cdledonian
of June Z, which the star is discussing.
the reader will find the following sell
tence: The letter of the law was I'M
doubtedly violated, and Mr.. b. owned
up and settled up" We do not see
how we can answer the Stars question
any more directly or mequivocally
than we did in the very text which it
takes for II sermon to us.
But what We most object to in the
Stars article is this: ltquotes portion
only OF what We said, and then draws
It's lnferences from that. 1t quotes
what we said Mr.. Bingham. friends
claim for him, but carefully omits what
our views are, which were plainly
stated in the same connection. The

The Democratic Vaccinations and the
Senator question all slumped through,
and when the House came together this
afternoon the members on both sides
appeared very calm and happy.
The time having arrived, the House,
on motion of Hon. James w. Emery of
Portsmouth, proceeded to the election
of United States Senator to succeed
Hon. James w. Patterson, the present
incumbent. The Speaker stated that
in accordance with law of Congress,
passed in 1866, the roll would he called,
and the Representatives would he re-

orally of the person whom they desired
