A Disguised Ref0rmer.
WIsCAssET, Aug 81, 1872.

WIsCAssET, Aug q, 1872.
To the Editor of the Press:
Yesterday was the day set apart for the Dem
ocratc-Liberal Convention for ths county of
Lincoln The Liberals were not numerous and
many of them curiously looked like Democrats,
while others were chronic boilers. The Demo-
Gratis were more numerous-but as many of the
leaders here don't pine for "crow Diet" these
leaders were not so confident or earnest as in
the past. The great Carleton was there, the
leader of the Reformers. He was ready to
trade. He wanted his son-in-law to be nomi
mated for Sheriff. If the Democracy would do
this, he was willing to concede the balance of
the ticket to the Democrats. But the Democ-
racy could not see this. They wanted to re-
nominate Mr.. Weeks. the present incumbent,
for Sheriff, but would concede the Liberals
the places of Commissioner and Treasurer, and
accordingly nominated the balance of the tick
ct. The righteous Jason waxed wroth and
when his old foe was nominated by Sheriff, he
and his followers left the hall and the Demo-
Gratis proceeded to complete the whole ticket
1t il now thought that Jason can only be ap-
peased by the nomination for representative
from the Whitefeld class. If he fails in this,
the great reformer will lose his interest in the
great cause of reform. If these parties had not
failed to clasp hands across the bloody" it
would have been a failure at best

for Senator.

York County Democratic Convention.


The existence of superstitious belief that sue
cess will Quintennially accompany the efforts of
the Democracy in Old York, led an unusually
large number of the unterriied to assemble at
the county seat on Monday evening to consult
upon the welfare Of the party and secure the all
important element of harmony in the ensuing
campaign The closest observer could detect
nothing but expressions of the most perfect
unity and could but admire the mutual for
bearance manifested by the friends of the vari-
GUS aspirants. At ten O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing the convention was called to order by the
chairman of the County Committee and E. w.
WsdgewoOd of Biddeford chosen temporary
chairman. At this moment VIM. H. Clifford
happened to stroll into the hall and was taken
completely by surprise by being called upon to
address the meeting. He made the usual Sin
cidentap' remarks and was followed by Ira T.
T. Drew. Now it is popularity of Mr. Drsw's
political enthusiasm that it never manifests it
self except to subserve some personal interest.
Upon this occasion his remarks closed with
motion to choose a committee of one from each
town to make nominations. The convention,
all eager for anything to produce concord,
adopted the suggestion, and S. X. Hamilton of
Biddeford, whose education under Mr.. Drew,
has recently eliminated in rendering him ex-
pert in the life insurance business proceeded to
nominate this committee, notwithstanding the
fact neither he nor Mr. Drew were members of
the convention.
The committee of twenty-eight made the
following nominations which were struggled

Is il n FiZZle T?

Why don't our Liberal Republican friends
of the First District publish a list OF them
selves? We should like to see the reform
ers' on paper. They say they are numer-
Gus and powerful, and are part OF great
revolution" and ''tidal wave" and lots of
other imposing, not to say, pretty things.
If so of course they would exert a great in
fluence upon the public mind by display of
their strength. We fear that the disasters,
which the Third District list suffered, have
impressed the Liberal mind with the idea
that it is not good year for lists. If, how
ever, our ex-Republican friends don't show
more strength somehow than they did
at their "Great County Mass Convention
composed of sixty-six persons, the irreverent
will continue to designate the whole business
in these parts by the disrespectful title Of
s'iZZle"

the hundredth time the silly lies about Gen.
Grants drunkenness, which some Republi-

who is acquainted with both the President
and Senator Sumner sayslthat the latter who
drinks five times as much wine and other
liquors as Gen. Grant is still called a temper
ate man. Senator Sumner with all his
charges against the President did not raise
the absurd cry of drunkenness.

To the agricultural community of the Ken
nebec Valley he is perhaps better and more
favorably known than any other man in the
District. In him the farmers have implicit
confidence. In Blaine they have no conf
dence at all. Although, next to the fourth
the third is the strongest Republican District
in the State. we should not be surprised to
find Mr.. Lang elected. Should this misfor-
tune befall us, Maine will have at least one
honest, able and efficient member of the next
Congress.
Pooh! Mr.. Webb of Waterville, who pre-
sided at the County Convention, Tuesday,
told exactly how much confidence the farmers
have in him. That gentleman went so far as
to say that ga man who cheats widow out
of note on the ground that it is barred by
the statute Of limitations is not fit to repre-
sent the third district in Congress-" Mr..
Lang stands as fair chance to be elected
President as he does to be elected Congress-
man. We have the most satisfactory assur-
ances that he ,riU not euen get the Greeley

in which he states that he did not say at the
"LiberaP' Convention that he was one of the
leaders of the Greeley movement but one of
the first to enter upon it. We gladly make
the correction; but it seems to us that Mr..
Carter is too modest by half, for it is gener-
ally understood that the movement owes the
most of what vitality it has to his energy,
persistence and liberality, and if anybody is
pre-eminently entitled to be called leader it
is Mr.. Carter.
