Note from MIR. Lynch,

To the Editor Of the Press:
In reply to numerous letters, urging me
to allow my name to be presented to the Con-
vention on the 10th inst, as candidate for
denomination; and to the suggestions which
have from time to time appeared in the news
papers, that in case of a failure of the Con-
vention to unite upon York County man, l
might again receive the nomination; permit
me to say, that, while fully appreciate the
honor of the position, and am truly grateful
for the many tokens of confidence and good
will which have received from my constitu-
ents of all political parties during the time I
have had the honor to serve as their Repre-
sentative in Congress, my private affairs
demanding my attention, / neither desire,
DOR could l, under any circumstances, accept
denomination. gsse03 ,EsL

Political Notes.

j. Proctor Knott of Duluth fame. carries A.
head he can draw an inference as well as
joke. He tells his Democratic brethren that
Grant will whip Greeley out of his boots.
and furthermore that the Democratic party
cannot be united ON Greeley.
The Richmond Wing, in 1859, published a
card Offering $4,000 each for the heads of
Greeley, Beecher, Phillips, &c. The Wing
now supports Greeley for the Presidency.
The April number of the atlantic contain
ted severe criticism of Grant, but its author
has just written much severer criticism of
Greeley. He will not go the latter in any
event.
Cassius M. Clay must have reached his
cottage. In recent letter he maintains that
1t Is strong point against Grant that he, "as
soon as ne was made President, put the son
OF Stephen A. Douglas, the most pocer6d of
our enemies, in the most confidential place as
his private secretary Horrible,
The Portland daily press., 1872-06-24
Misrepresentation Contraaicted.

1t is said that Portland can connect with the
Boston system of roads to the west by building
ten miles. This is not so. 1t is forty-fve miles
from the P. & o. line near Cornish to the near
est point where connection can be made, which
which will cost Portlacd as much to build as an
equal distance on the extension of the P. q o.
Economy" in the argus of the 22d, says it is
only thirty-three miles from Wells River juno
ton to Essex Junction. 1t is seventy-three miles
by the shortest line contemplated.
1t is said that the directors have bought lands,
Mines etc., on the line of the road. This is an
entire fabrication made out of whole cloth. 1t
is said that the thirty-nine towns outside of
Portland, benefited by the road have only SUBJ
scrbed and paid in $4,000. Five of these towns
have paid in more than $4,000, and private
subscriptions of money and lands amount to at
least $50, 900 more. The Argus says the Grand
Trunk to the Canada line cost eight and half
millions. This is not so, as the road from Paris
to the Canada line was built by contract with
John M. Wood for $3.50 per mile.

who, when new industry is proposed, are the
men who open their pockets? Laborng men,
suppose you should send these fine business
men away, would you suffer nothing? Would

who do so large majority of all the business

Shameful

The opponents of the Portland & Ogdens-
burg railroad rely upon making the people be-
lieve that the Directors of the road are swim
dlers and liars. Remove this charge and all
opposition fails in moment
The Directors say and pledge their honor
that the contract with Messrs. Fuller and
Harding is honest and bona tide. The enemies
of the road say this is false, and that the con-
tract is bogus and fraud upon the people aud
they invite the people of Portland to say SO too
by voting against the road. ---------s-
The Directors say that there is no insur-
mountable or extraordinary difficulty in going
through the 'sNotch." John II. George says
this is false and that there is a cut to be made
whose cost will be like that of the Hoosac Tun-
mel ssrs ASA ssals9~& 70 ebUtA
The Directors say that all they can ask and will
ask for is only 81, 900 of the.city and pledge
their honor and good faith that they will ask
no more. The friends of Boston living in Port
land tell the people of Portland that these men
mean to cheat them, and to demand the entire
sum of 81, 100000. gaszsa -su

Foreseeing the embarrassment that would
naturally grow-out of the fact that the race of
Democrats bearing the titles of Governor
and Honorable" in this State has become ex-
tinct in the past generation, the PRESS recon-
mended that the Legislature make provision
candidates, so that the numerous list of STAN
dard bearers in the'''lost cause'' might bear
the distinctive honor dictatorship in the past
by being titled brevet Governor, brevet Hon
orable, etc. The Legislature did not heed
our advice in this and many other matters,
consequently we see our friend Pillsbury figur-
ing in the "Liberal Conference" as set forth
by the Herald, as Ex-Governor Pillsbury of
Maine.

THE meeting of the Free Traders in New
York, which resulted in the nomination of
Messrs. Groesbeck and Olmstead, was not
large in point of numbers or political infu-
ence as it now goes, but gave expression to
sentiments that indicated very plainly that
there is large number of reformers in the
country more hostile to Mr.. Greeley than to
Gen. Grant. This is particularly the case
with the Germans. Mr.. Rothe, editor of the
Cincinnati Volksfreund, said that the Ger
mans of Missouri were going to Baltimore to
tell the Convention that the Germans of the
West would never vote for Mr.. Greeley. Dr.
Morwitz, of Philadelphia, said he was going
to Baltimore with thirty-fve German editors
to oppose the endorsement of Mr.. Greeley
Gen. Cox, as has been reported, did not leave
the meeting, but declared himself as bitterly
opposed to Greeley as to Grant.
