Since the Cincinnati Convention this village
is not without its mourners. Last Saturday
evening a few Of the prominent Democrats as

lates on Stanford street to compare notes and

Democratic party, and the execution of its
would-be assassin, FL. G. At 8 o'clock amid
the murky darkness of the evening and the
mental darkness within (Lota was visible save
One) the last remnant of the once defiant party in
Cape Elizabeth had assembled together in sol

spoken, but grief seemed depicted ON their
countenances. First, on chair in the corner

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 4.-The Union &
American, Democratic newspaper, editorially
expresses the opinion that the Cincinnati ticket
would have been stronger with Brown for Pses-
ident but speaks kindly of Greeley. 1t says
the ticket can and will sweep the Northwest if
seconded by the National Democracy.
The Banner says:-"The ticket cannot fail to
command the respect of the American people,
and it ought to possess irresistible strength and
satisfy the liberal sentiment of the whole coun-
try. The ticket is aistrong one, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it was effected through agencies
not altogether common to nominating conven-
tions and smacking little too much of politi-
cal intrigue. q r--a.-..r..er -5sf

FOUND DEAD.-A Kennebunkport cores
pondent says: Mr.. James Wakefield of this
town, an estimable and Christian man, having
been absent Saturday from home much longer
time than he usually required to draw his lob
ster pots, some neighboring boats were sent
in search, which soon found his boat, and near
by his dead body, short distance from the
shore In a thick fog he probably got INTO the
breakers and was washed out of the boat;
though certain appearances indicate he may
have died from natural causes and was capsized
from the boat after death. He leaves a wife
and large family of grown up children.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-The Call Dem)

the greatest dismay among among the federal
office holders; all now depends on the action of
the Democracy. s.zE

New ORLEANS, May 4.-The Times eulogizes
the attachments of Greeley and expresses the
belief that he will defeat Grant.
The Republican thinks the choice good one
and will undoubtedly command the confidence
and support of a large majority of the people
The Bee thinks the nomination of Greeley
had and has no idea that the Democratic party
will endorse 1t. On the contrary it insures
straight out the nomination by the Democratic
Convention. - HiEDf
The Picayune believes the nomination of
Adams would have been preferable but says
that many accept Greeley on the ground that
he is at least honest. It does not think the
nomination Of the Democratic ticket is within
range of possibility.
The National Republic says the deed is done
and the Securities and Trumbullites undone
1t does not think Greeley can command the
support of the Democratic party
