THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONAL few of
| the Democratic sachems assembled at the
Preble House, room No. 10. last evening, to
| make the gubernatorial nomination and frame
the platform, after the time-honored Demo-
cratic custom. 1t order to prevent awkward
mistakes this course is always taken. The con-
ventlon next day is hut ratification meeting.
The attendance of state committeeman and
other interested parties was but small. A few
of the gray-haired chieftains were present, and
a few of the young braves who appear willing
to consgn their political future to the limbo of
lost opportunities
Hon. Alvah Black of Paris was designated as
the man who should act as President of the
convention. Hon. Joseph Ttcomb will I'M
doubtedly be renominated by reclamation.
The platform has not yet been decided upon.
A plank will be put in "reaffirming the hard
money policy of the party" and adroitly wink
ing 1868 and its reputation tendencies out of
sight.
Some of the Down East men are little shy
of touching the currency question, and prefer
to remain non-commttal, having their eyes ON
the "great West and its possible action. But
the knot of Cumberland politicians will insist
npon hard money plank, and will trot out the
nominee-Mr Titcomb,-with ringing hard
money speech. Rawson of Bangor will prob
ably introduce his everlasting license plank, and
Marcellus Emery pines for an opportunity to
condemn the military despotism at Bowdoin
An attempt will also be made to introduce a
civil service plank, but the proposal hash the
requisite degree of density to be carried.
MassrS Taavitt RraIhurv and Roberts will
retire from the State Committee, and their
places will be filled by G. w. Drisko of Ma
chas, D. H. Ingraham of Portland, and -
Murch of Belfast
The committee anticipate large convention,
and some think there will be as many as fifty
delegates in attendance

Man Killed on the Grand Trunk.

Yesterday morning Marshal Parker was not
fed that man had been killed on the Grand
Trunk road near the slaughter house of OrIan-
do Leighton. HIS at once repaired to the place
and found man lying on the bank near the
track, dead. He learned from the employees
of the establishment that the man had been
struck by a train which had just passed. The
body was brought to the city and afterwards
identified as Mr.. Bradley Adams of Falmouth.
He left home in the morning to come to the
city and started to walk upon the track, and
when struck by the engine was walking be-
tween the rails. He was deaf and probably
did not hear the train. The engineer, j.
Chandler, who has been on the road for TWEEN
ty-one years, says that he saw the man as he
was coming around the curve, but as he got on
the straight track he lost sight of him and sup
posed that he stepped one side, as hundreds do
every day. The first thing he knew of the ac-
cident was when he reached the depot here
and found hat on the front of the engine.
His suspicious were aroused and he sent man
back to find out if anything had happened and
how the hat came on the engine.
The employees of the packing house say that
the man walked between the rails until the
cow-catcher struck him and threw him directly
on the engine. He was then th.own again
and struck on the bank where he was found.
DIR. True Examined the body asd found one
leg broken in two places. and the back OF his
head completely crushed. Coroner Parker
empauelled the following jury and prepared
to hold an inquest at II o'clock: Josiah Bur-
leigh, foreman, A. M. Benson, H. f. McAllis-
ter, and j. E. Green. After being sworn in
they viewed the body. As they were unable to
get any of the witnesses present at the time
they adjourned until o'clock at the County
Attorneys office in City Building.
The jury met and after hearing the evidence
rendered verdict that the man came to his
death by his own carelessness as he was walking
on the track The deceased was widower
and leaves number of children. He lived
with his sister.
