The Rainbow Cantsta and Concert, which took
place at the Napoleon Avenue Presbyterian
Church on Friday evening, was altogether a
great success. The audience was large and ap-
prec;ative, despite the unfavorable weather. The
arrangement of the Rainbow was excellent; the
pulpit platform was gorgeously decorated and
the beauteous colors Of the prism were well rep
resented by Misses /. D., B. NJ, E. s., A. D., L.
g., A. r., F. P. and l.. D., all of whom acquitted
themselves splendidly. The programme, under
the supervision Of Miss Ida Smith, was admira-
bly, conducted and reflects great credit upon the
good taste Of this young lady.
After the cantata was ended the concert was
given, and consisted of some excellent solos and
duets, well selected and admirably sung. The

The Democrats OF Maine nominated for
Governor Gen. Charles w. Roberts, of Ban
gor, by vote of 462 to Al, afterwards made
unanimous. The delegates numbered $50.
After the usual declaration Of Democratic
doctrine the resolutions arraign the Rspubli-
can party for the abandonment OF principles,
proaigacy and corruption; condemn the ad-
ministration in strong terms for the response
bility Of the Louisiana usurpation and the
attempt to suspend the writ of habeas corpus
by the last Congress, and pronouncing it no
longer safe to trust the reins Of government
in such hands. The administration is pro-
nounced responsible for the present depressed
condition of the country's commerce in all
sections, for crippling of the ship building
trade, and for the driving of the American
mercantile marine from the ocean. The
people of Maine, suffering under the burden
of oppressive taxation, demand reform, and
appeal to all men, without regard to party
names or past differences, to unite with them
to secure this triumph. An effort made tl
INCORPORATE the financial resolutions of the
Ohio Democratic Convention failed.
The highest total vote in Maine was in 1872
numbering 1868. The smallest Republi
can majority for some years has been nearly
$4,000.
