Our Skowhegan correspondent writes:
Although there was large attendance and
smart talk at the Grecnback Convention here
Friday, still an outsider could but notice q Gu.
rous mixture of the senseless and ridiculous. 1t
seemed as though each had different idea of the
soft money question, each his peculiar idea to ad
vocatc. The resolutions forming the platform of
the party were adopted after much discussion.
The speeches for the most part were tonguey and
exhaustive arguments, being q re-hash OF the hard
times, the unfortunate condition of the laboring
classes, and the fatal mistakes of the government
Some of the speakers were very extrsvagant in
their expressions. For instance. Moses Hull con-
sidered the greenback movement more ennobling
then the religion Of Christ, or any other moral
agency. He argued in this line, making some
very smooth but fallaciou, talk. Some believed
In regulation, others believed in something like
semi-repudialion. In fact it was rather difficult
to define their true position. The announcement
of Rev. H. C. Munson, as a candidate for COVER
nor, and VIM. Philbrick for senator, was q con-
pletc surprise to the public. 1t is noticeable fact
that the democrats are clsppiug them on and say
ing amen to ell the new party do. II would have
been hard strain on the imag nation 10 dstir-
guish the d Inference between this convention and
the usual democratic harangue. The republican
party received its share of calumny, while Senator
Blaine was characterized as knave or fool.
