The Bangor Democrat has always been
serious and sometimes an intense newspaper.
Consequently when its offshoot the CONNER
cial attempt, TO be funny, it over-shoots its
aim very much as good Daniel Drew would

reminded of this by its latest attempt at
drollery, which was that Judge Kent's friends
were making arrangements to withdraw that
gentleman in favor of Mr.. Stone at the dicta-
ton of the Hamlin men. Judge Kent's
friends are quietly but earnestly at work to
secure his nomination at Bangor and their
assurances are such that they do not contem-
plate any such contingency as that to which
the Commercial refers; and least of all a bar
