Democratic BANQUET.

The observance of the birth day of
Washington by the Democrats of Bangor
was an exceedingly pleasant gathering.
Supper was served at the Bangor House
at 9 o'clock. and was partaken of by a
large gathering of the Democratic faith
from various portions of the state. w. I.
Pearson called the meeting to order and
introduced Mayor Laughton as President,
who made very acceptable address.
Ioasts appropriate to the occasion were
read and responded to. Gen. Roberts made
capital response to a patriotic allusion
to the Union. Excellent speeches were
made by James Z. Rawson, Richard kel-
leher, p G. White and Paul r. Seavey.
Letters were read from Hon. Geo Ii. PEN

Democratic National Convention.

The call for the Convention at St. Louis
on the 9th OF June appears this week, as
a result of the recent meeting OF the Ma
tional Committee. The time and place
are auspicious for bringing together the
great southern and western sentiment
which now constitutes the bulwark of the
Democratic strength of the country. Del
egates who 60 from the East will greet
their brethren from the South, the great
fertile basin of the West, and from the
golden shores of the Pacitic-and will be
themselves welcomed as members of the
great conservative party whose principles
are as broad and beneticent as the Union
itself. 1t will be a glorious, a thrilling
sight, to behold such a gathering, and
gratifying to reflect upon its great pur-
poses. The country will look with conf
dence to it's deliberations, and have rea-
son to expect the happiest results from its
action.

much belle him. The passing years have
dealt leniently and kindly with him, and
he looks younger and tresher than six

Baboock.

There IS little to be said about Babcock's $
recent trial, beyond the report to be
found in another column. The whole
business is thoroughly shameful and dis
graceful. 1t is q popularity lnseparable
from criminal law, that even very strong
evidence OF the guilt Of the accused may
not suffice for conviction. The weight of
evidence against him may even ten times
outweigh that in his favor, and still he
may go free The jury are always in
structed that if a reasonable doubt exists
in their minds, they must acquit the pris-
oner. With the sympathy of a large po-
litical party in his favor with the admin
istration active in his behalf, and the
President himself testitying on his side,
and creating the belief that the case OF
the accused is the chief magistrates case
it is not wonderful that the jury easily
found reasonable doubt on which to
hang a verdict of acquittal. The compli-
cations in the cabinet and the party were
such that the conviction of Babcock would
have been ruinous-and his acquittal was
resolved upon at any cost. twas accom-
plished, technically; but the great jury of
the country have found and entered of
record verdict which reads-"Guilty on
all the counts of the Indictment it
will stand as long as fraud and peculation
and forgery shall be abhorred

Democratic National Convention.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %.
The following is the call tor the national con-
YentiOn:
The national Democratic committee, to whom
Is delegated the power of fixing the time and
place of holding the national Democratic con-
vention OF 1916. have appointed Tuesday, the
18th day OF June next, at noon, as the time and
have selected st. Louis rs the place of holding
such conversion. Each state will be entitled to
Il representation equal tc double the number of
its senators and representatives in the Con-
grcss OF the United States, and the Territory of
Colorado, whose admission in July as a state
will give it Il vote in the next electoral college,
is also invited to send delegates to the conven-
ton. Democratic, conservative and other cti-
zcns OF the United States, irrespective of past
political associations. desiring to cooperate
with the Democratic party in its present efforts
and oblects.are cordially invited to join in send
ing delegates to the national convention. Co.
operation is desired from all persons who
would change an administration that has suffer-
ed the public credit to become and remain in
icrlor to other and less-tavored nations; has
permitted commerce to be taken away by for.
eign powers; has stifled trade by unjust, un-
equal and pernicious legislation; has imposed
unusual taxation, and rendered it most burden
some; has changed growing prosperity to wide
spread suffering and want; has squandered the
public moneys recklessv and detiantlv, and
shamelessiv used the power that should have
been swift 10 punish crime-not to protect it.
For these, and other reasons, the National De-
mocratic party deem the public danger mmi-
nent, and earnestly desrious of securing to our
country the blessings of an economical pure
and free government, cordially invite the CO.
operation of their fellow citizens in the effort
to attain this object.

Our City Election.


In to-day's paper will be found the call
for the Democratic caucus preliminary to
the city election. The Committee have
thought best TO call the Democrats togeth-
Ell few days in advance Of the usual time.
in order that there may be opportunity for
voters to make themselves familiar with
the nominees, and Il brief season in which
to discuss their qualifications. This should
be done in all nominations for office, and
has become custom in all others except
candidates for city offices Surely it is as
important that good and faithful men
shall be selected for city officials as any
others. Candidates who are tit tor their
positions can have nothing to fear from
an examination Of their qualifications,
while those who from any cause ought
not to be entrusted with office, will be
pretty certain to have that fact made APP
parent, during four or five days canvass
Our friends are earnestly requested to
bear in mind, not only the Importance OF
carrying the city for the Democratic tick
ct, but the necessity of putting in nomi-
nation, as the first and most important
step 10 such a result, men Of intelligence,
reliability, and above all, OF integrity
The interests committed to our city gov
ernment are now very great. The con-
troll not only Of our city finances compli-
Gated by a large debt, but the assets and
liabilities of a closely related railroad cor
poration, is committed to it, Discreet and
careful management can carry these along
successfully, tighten the burdens of taxa
ton, and increase the prosperity OF our
city. Indiscretion and laxity on these
matters will be taken advantage OF 5y
that cunning and unscrupulous class who
are always seeking to reach the public
treasury by crooked ways. The voters
and tax payers of Belfast understand this
fully. The time has come, and must be
recognized, when neither party lines nOl
party waJchwords can hold voters up to
the support of unworthy or improper can
didates. And unless we very much mis-
take the signs OF the times, the people OF
this city We're never SC fully resolved to
apply to candidates the tests Of integrity
and capacity, as 1hey are now, and to cor
respondingly ignore party lines.
In this state OF affairs the duty OF the
Democrats of Belfast is very clear. They
should select tor the offices, and especially
for aldermen, those who will come up to
the requirements we have stated-clean
and honorable men, such as they would
entrust their private business to-and pre-
sent them to the electors. If they do this
THE PEOPLE will sustain them If there
is to be any miserable quarrelling over
the city rum agency, OF any other corrupt
source Of spoils, let the Republicans do it.

WHAT THEY SAY AT ST. LOUIS.

tSt. Louis Special (Feb. 24l to the \. \. sun
The reason for the verdict, so far as eXplana-
tons of the jurors convey an idea, appears to
have been simply that the evidence produced
and left for their consideration under the in
structions of the Court was not such as to re-
move all possible doubt from their minds of
the defendants guilt. All thought alike in this
respect. Said Juror JeWett in his plain farm
ers way subsequent to the verdict: 81 would
MT say that Gen. Babcock isn't guilty, but we
did what we thought was right. There was
the instructions about the testimony, and some
of the testimony was kept back from us, and
on what we had we all thought that we could
MT convict. There wasn't testimony enough
not to leave doubt. We didn't let our moral
convictions, as you call 'em, have anything to
do with it, Said another juror, The evidence
showed us plain enough that Mcdonald and
Joyce and Avery were in the thing, but about
Rabcock it didn't come out so plain. We could
have convicted them easily enough but we
didn't feel certain here. | wish we could have
known the inside history of the business, but
that we couldn't get at, and we did just what
we thought was our duty under the clrcum-
stances" These comments indicate the opin-
ions of each member of the jury. 1t is not be-
leved that any of the jurymen were bribed or
otherwise improperly influenced for Babcock,
but their sudden verdict is held to have come
from the bewildering situation in which thev
found themSelyes-the awing effect upon them
of Grants deposition, the imposing array of
witnesses to Babcocks character, and the
charge of the Court The opportunity now at-
forded to become more intimately acquainted
with the character of the men shows them to
be rather narrow-minded, apparently we'll
meaning lot, totally unfit for subtle distinctions
in evidence, and bound to all go one way or
another together. The effect produced every
where by the verdict is one of astonishment.
Great Indignation is expressed that such obsta-
cles were thrown in the way of the prosecution
that all facts bearing upon the could not
have been given to the jury to the public.
A minority, comprising what is known rs the
Post Office party and the strong Administration
men. take the view that the verdict is Just and
covers the case perfectly

The statute Of Maine provides that
agents of insurance companies located in
other states shall annually publish the
official statements OF the condition of said
companies, in some newspaper Of their
county, But the requirement is neglect
ed to very great extent. notwithstand-
ing there is 4 penalty Of so attached to
the neglect in each case, We hope that
desire to conceal the standing Of the
companies is not the motive, but it GER
tainly begcts suspicion Of the kind.
Cautious men will be likely to prefer
companies that comply with the law in
this respect, especially in shaky times
like these

The citizens of Norridgewock propose to Or
ganlze a mutual life insurance company on the
following basis: TO consist of 200 members,
each of whom shall pay $5 entrance fee, and
the same sum on the death of Il member.
$1,000 will at all times be deposited, to be paid
to the heirs of any deceased member. In this
company there will be no expenses, and it is
believed that this is the true policy of ipsur-
ance.
No doubt OF it. The system by which
deluJed persons all over the country are
drawn upon for large sums to pay huge
salaries to officers of life insurance in dis
tant cities, and enormous commissions to
local agents. and then find themselves en-
trapped into life continuance of the
same, approaches very nearly to swim
die. There ought to be sense enough in
the American people to put an end to it.

'Do you think Bristow will get out:''
NO; Bristow can't afford to resign, and
Grant can't afford to ask for his resignation.'
The opinion on the Democratic side of the
House is probably expressed by Mr.. Randall,
who, late tonight, when interviewed on the
subject. expressed his views on the Babcock
case about as follows: "Bristow would like to
be turned out, but Grant don't mean to do it.
He would like to do it. but he don't mean to
