= .uerset tsrrenb eek Conven ION.

In response to tie call, shout 100 delegates
assembled at Skowhegsp, Thursday, for the pur-
pese Of nominating greenback Candidates for the
coming campaign.
There were some features of this meeting wor-
thy of notice. From the first there were two ele-
ments in the party, noticeable. One class, the
rad cal, hot headed and communstic, comprised
the great mass of the convention, perhaps
en-eights The other class WAS the more intelli-
gent reasoning portion. Daring the routine bus
mess of the comm ittees, Burke and Woodman
of Skowhegan, DIR. Palmer of Cambridge and
Billy McGoon OF Hsrtland addressed the meeting.
Their was very little argument to then remarks.
The most Of them were wild and delusive, APP
pealing to the lower passions of humanity. 1t
was declared that this was contes, for liberty
or death, the principle established by our fore
fathers viz Life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness." They pictured in all the horrors imag
Unable the awful condition of our country,
bringing in their greenhack as balm for every
would. Th last speaker openly avowed the
principles of communism, affirming 1t to he un-
Just to charge interest on the use of money, and
that the government should grant 1t indlscrmi-
nately to all without charge This disagreeable
element of communism constantly appearing,
forebOdes the greatest evil to our national pros
perty. Their execrations against the bankers
were simply awful. The feelings of Mr.. Phil
self styled leache-, bloodsuckers, "a, must have
been peculiar to say the least.
The resolutions of the gteenback State con-
vention were adopted, with the eXceI ton of the
clause referring to the lncOnverti lie bonds"
This was stricken out though the beloved bank
or of their sect maintained it to be very essen
tisl. Amendments were also added LIST. That

10 the afternoon came the nomination of their
candidates. Their man for eastern Senator, Ar
chbald Linn, is a foreigner, speaks English
very incoherently, and is very unpopular in his
own vicinity. Amos F. Psrlin, their candi-
date for western Senator was introduced as a far
and lasoring man. tie is 10 fact a wealthy,
retired gentleman, and represents the extreme
capitalists in his section. A. S. Burke, the nomi-
mated County Treasurer, ran for Register of Deeds
last fall and was disappointed. s. ID. Greenlief,
for County Commissioner, is q fiery, passionate
fellow of the radical type, and good man to get
defeated. 1t was very amusing to hear them in
troduce their candidates and then trot out their
men TO plead personally their merits before the
convention.
A glance at the character of the delegation
showed Il to be composed largely Of renegades
Of both parties yet it was evident that there were
BY far the more from the democratic ranks.
