JUDGE VESTS speech at Cleveland the
other night will evidently teach him caution
for the rest of the campaign. What he
meant was innocent and harmless enough.
AS the Cincinnati Commercial puts it: ssHe
was simply dreaming what he would do if he
had the world to make over" His explana-
tion makes this clear enough. He simply
meant if he had a railroad or a coal mine he
would make an experiment of some sort to-
ward sharing the profits with his laborers.
Ex-Gov Cox intimates that brake was put
on the Judge as soon as the serenade was
over, for he said to reporter of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, when commenting on the
speech, swell, it was liable to wrong con-
struetion will admit. doubt whether it
was the proper thing just for the time. But
then, it will not occur again, 1 am certain.
Several gentlemen were around to call on
him this morning, who explained 10 the
Judge the danger of introducing such doc
trine into the campaign, and he will be more
careful in the future. 1 am sure it will not
be repeated"

The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic convention yesterday was,
compared with former convocations of Demo-
craticsparty leaders, wise and discreet body,
for it did one good thing. By its action regard
ing the prohibitory law it removed the question
of temperance from party politics, and ac-
knowledged by its silence that the much
mooted question has passed out of partisan
discussion and that prohibition is the settled
policy Of the state.
In other respects it was not so wise. In
reaffirming the Ohio resolution, which ques-
tions the title of President Hayes and de-
nounces the electoral commission chosen by
Democratic votes, as guilty of the greatest
"political fraud known to history" the con-
vention deprived all disguntled Republicans,
however great their discomfort at the course
taken by the majority of the Republicans of
Maine, of any pretext for going over to the
enemy. No Republican supporter of Presi-
dent Hayes can take bis stand
upon the "fraud platform"
The Convention was as unfortunate in its
candidate as in its platform. Hon. Joseph
H. Williams, the candidate finally agreed up
on, is gentleman of unexceptionable charac-
ter and standing as citizen. His name is
vaguely familiar to most citizens of Maine, as
it has several times been used in independent
or bolting movements by discontented mem
bers of both political parties. Now for the
first time he receives a regular nomination
for Governor and is put before the people
with the questionable endorsement and COM
mendation of the Democratic party. His
name is certainly not likely to awaken much
enthusiasm in the rank and file of that party
or, in fact, anywhere else. He is a born
and bred aristocrat, possessed of large
ancestral wealth and has neither care for, nor
sympathy with, any of the efforts of poor
humanity to better itself. He is cold,
exclusive and unsympathetic to the extreme
degree possible in this country. II the
Democrats succeed in electing their candidate
they will find a chilling quantity of ice laid
on the enthusiasm of victory.
Mr.. Williams is eminently respectable, and
the union between him and the rough and
tumble Democracy is incongruous. 1t will
be curious to observe how far party discipline
and habit will bring the great unweshed
masses 10 the support of their aristocratic
candidate. When we compare to him our
noble Connor, full of warm blood and cordial
impulses, ready in every good word and
work, a thorough gentleman, brave soldier,
trained scholar and an upright man, there
is every ground for confidence in our sue
cess, and for an assurance that this new
Democratic device to draw away discontented
Republicans by nominating respectable
gentleman Of no party, no affiliations and
few earnest convictions, will fall as such
devices have always failed in the past.

SELMA, ALA,-The Democrats carried
Dallas county yesterday by 300 majority. In
the PRESIDENTIAL election the county gave the
Republicans more than 1000 majority. Yes
terday's election was the most peaceable and
quietest ever known.-Associated Press
Dispatch.
1t was Montague Tigg, if we remember,
who complimented his friend Chevy Slime by
admiringly exclaming of his elucidation of a
subject. that he had chit it full in six
words" Here are six lines that describe
Alabama affairs as concisely as half dozen
columns possibly could. The last sentence
especially, is gem of lueidity of statement.
The transmutation of a four thousand Re-
publican majority into three hundred Demo-
cratic within nine months, is tribute to the
pacifying influence of the new dspensation
that has profound historic significance.

THE CongregdtionaliSt recently published
a notable publication from DR.. Rankin, of
Washington, announcing that he had found
man who had discovered an infallible cure
for that fearful scourge, Bright's disease of
the kidneys, heretofore regarded as incurable.
He gave number of illustrations of its sue.
cess, and among them cited the case of his
own son. DR.. Rankin's reputation gave cur
rency.t to this announcement, and it was wide
