Cn,lntn Candidates .

The County Convention last week, put
a ticket into the field which should re-
ceiye The iull support OF oxford County
Republicans. Hon. James Irish served
his constituency faithfully in the last
Senate, and for bis services is entitled to
a reelection. Moses 5 Moulton OF Poy-
ter, the new candidate for Senatorial
honors. is a man well known in the
County, and he is highly respected,
wherever known. He will make a good
SenStor.
Hon. B. i. Tuell. who has served -
County Commissioner tor one term. re-
ceiSed q denomination. II has been
customary to give this re- nomination by
reclamation. but. owing to some misun-
Outstanding. and little feeling in some
sections. an opposition candidate was
run. Mr.. Tuell has endeavored to serve
The County faithfully. and has done his
duty TO the satisfaction OF large ma
lorlty OF the people. A commissioner
occupies position which lays him open
10 the attack OF persons who may desire
TO see certain measures carried through,
which they may think tor the good Of
the County. When the Commissioners
differ on these subjects, they are pretty
apt TO offend somebody. No one doubts
Mr. Tuelrs integrity. and all personal
feelings should be now laid aside, and
he receive a hearty endorsement at the
polls. We have lost one commissioner

Democratic Contention.

The Democracy Of Name held their
State Convention st Portland on Tues
day OF last week; which resulted in the
nomination OF Joseph Il. Williams to be
supported by them st the coming elec
ION, though At the second ballot the
friends OF John c. thought they had it
all ttst.
Among the delegates from this county
we notice the name OF Charles A. Black
OF Paris on the Committee on Resolu-
tons, A. 5. kimbsil OF Waterford on
State Com, W. II. Whilcomb of Nor
way on Com. to count votes. and S. j.
Millett OF Norway among the Vice Pres
idents.
The ball was set rolling by the open
ing speech OF the temporary chairman,
Hon. VIM. l.. Putnam of Portland. who.
much in the plight Of bis illus,rious
naIne-sake. did not know whether il was
better to stay in or leave the old Demo
cratic hole. and could only exhor. his
brethren. while he was in. 10 bang to
the tail.
The Convention showed its wonderful
instinct for honesty. passing a resolution
in commentator of the administration
and with it one denying that there is
any lawful administration. They would
let Hayes stay this time but be mustn't
do it again. This wishy-washy platform
exasperated the party in the person OF
Marcellns Emery OF Bangor to offer 8
minority report proposing a free rum
plank in the Democratic platform.
Though this would have suited the taste
of the party it was thought polite to
leave out this PLANK and also the crack
offered by another distinguished son OF
Bangor

Eni1fentiu Not Happy.

From the tone and text Of our Demo-
cratic contemporaries editorial comments
on the Portland Convention we are led to
infer that he did not return from his po-
litical excursion in an entirely happy
frame of mind. To have convention oil
full grown Democrats sit down on per-
son in August must inevitably be unpIeas-
ant, and our ncighbor is apparently I'M
able to commend the operation with that
alacrity and fervor expected OF dGclle
organist. For the introduction OF Cub
ernatoria candidate by the Bangor Com
mercia. it strikes us that the following
editorial from its last evenings issue is
decidedly lacking in the evidence of exu-
berant enthusiasm, and we copy it as a
political curiosity:
The Portland Convention.
On the third ballot in the Democratic
State Convention Mt Portland on Tuesday,
Hon. JosEPm II. WILLIAMS, of Augusta,
was nominated for Governor, receiving
$50 votes out OF total Of $50. The
nomination was subsequently made unan-
imOus.
We are not aware that Mr.. Williams
has been in any way Unidentified with the
Democratic organization Of Maine for
more than twenty years. The gentleman
who presented his name rs n candidate IN
the Convention, said that he voted for
TIDEN AND HsNDRIcKs last fall.
The argument used by those who urged
his nomination by the Convention was
that it was necessary, at the time, TO
nominate a man who had not been inden-
tilted with the Democratic Party in order
to win votes from the Republicans. 1t
was stoutly claimed that his nomination
would win votes enough from those who
= have hitherto been Republicans, to give
to the Democracy this fall the counties
OF York, Cumberland, Androscoggln,
Keunebec, Somerset, Knox, Lincoln and
Waldo. Should the result Of the Sep
TENDER election Justify the confidence oil
those who were so earnest and active Tor
Mr.. Williams nomination, the carly day ;
Of next January will see him IN the
Gubernatorial chair supported by Leg
islaturc which will be Democratic IN
either branch.
Mr. Williams is pronounced by those
who know him TO be gentleman OF hue
scholarship and many accomplishments.
His character is declared to be pure and
above reproach 1t is said that he has
not always been in sympathy with all the
radical measures OF the Republican party
and that he has not uniformly acted with
them since the Greeley campaign. At
the present writing we do not recall any
public uttcrances of his which will enable
US to make known his position on the lead
ing political issues of the day. His letter
of acceptance will be awaited by the
Democrats Of Maine with an interest
akin to that manifested after the nomlna-
, ton of Mr.. Greedy i'll 1872.
The Resolutions Of the Convention, SC
5 far as they 90, will command the appro-
val of all Democrats in the State, except
those who hold that the ProhibitOry
5 Liquor Laws should not be repealed, and
2 who therefore condemn that clause Of the
National Platform which opposes stump
tuary laws.-BangOr Whig.

AN ERRING BUT REPENTANT
JUDGE.

A certain lawyer in Lewis county,
KY, was appointed judge of the criminal
court. being much younger man than
had ever before held the Office. He was
a brilliant, honorable fellow and sound
jurist, thoroughly competent for his
Office except that he drank hard. The
other day, in opening court, he was so
much under the influence of liquor as to
be unable to transact business. The
next day, being sober, he came into
court, and said: Gentlemen and fellow
citizens 1 appear before you to say 1
am victim to vice which has dis
graced me before you and my country.
AS entered this court room l heard
some one say, there goes pretty timber
to make a criminal judge Of l felt that
remark as steel through my heart, for
it is just. 1 am unworthy the high
honor and trust you have conferred upon
one so young, and l return to you the
Office / have lost, being unworthy of it.
Pardon me, friends and countrymen, but
you shall bear this no longer. My ju.
dicial integrity and official acts are
blameless. Thank God, am no longer
criminal judge of Lewis county. May
heaven keep me in my affection r.
There was not sound in the crowded
court as he spoke. No one could look
at him and not know that the struggle
through which he had passed before he
could SO humiliate himself was worse
than death. But there is no one whose
heart would not warm to an offender
who is man enough to acknowledge his
error, and to 60 honestly and humbly
to work to regain his lost place. "When
the judge entered the court" says the
local paper, 1.-The public feeling was
that of anger and contempt; but when
he went out, every man there was his
friend and ready to hold out a helping
hand to him."
