Representative Nominations

We are glad to know that the hard
money Democrats of Waldo County are
determined to make their votes sustain
their principles in the coming election Of
members Of Legislature. 1t is very i'm
portant point, since prominent Demo-
Gratis, allied with Greenbackers. are StriV-
ing to cut down Or. Garcelon's vote as
low as possible The failure to endorse
Garcelon by the Democratic Convention
of this County was a part of the same
plot. \ single vote in the Legislature
may be the means Of making DIR. Garce-
lon Governor, and rebuking this treach-
er0us plot against him. In the represen-
tative district composed OF Brooks, Knox,
Waldo, Belmont, Morrill, and Swanvile,
the Democrats have nominated John |.
Watts, prominent and energetic citizen,
who will be supported by the hard money
men Of all parties, with good chance of
election. In the district Of Lincolnyille,
\orthport and Islesboro, the hard money
men will concentrate upon Albert H.
knowlton, who has been nominated by
the Democrats, and who will doubtless
be elected The hard money men of 9TH
er districts are prepared to do likewise,
and we advise all hard money men to
give their votes and influence in favor of
such combinations. This is no time to
quarrel about party names, when names
have lost their significance but it is a
time when the good old Democratic prin-
ciple Of sound money needs the help of
all its friends

The Grcenback demonstration in this
city, on Saturday, was the first attempt
to introduce "the voluptuous waltz" as
an element of political success, or to pro
pitiate the unbeHeving by
''Sound Of horn and fiddle
With hands across and down the middle"
This dance and revelry did not much
accord with the hard times and starva-
ton theory of the unemployed, nor the
grinding domination of bondholders
Still it will be remembered that the
daughter OF Herodias danced off the head
Of John the Baptist, and it is difficult to
set bounds to the achievements of even
one pair of well fitting gaiter boots. We
saw several bloated bondholders peering
into the hall with great fear on their
countcnances.

We last week noticed the remarkable
public spectacle shown by intoxicated
Greenback speakers at Troy, in this
county. Although one of them, as stated
by our informant, is candidate for office
on the Greenback county ticket, and
therefore proper subject for the crti-
cism of the press, we in charity rcfraincd
from naming him. But as the Bangor
Wing has from other sources learned that
the person referred to is {. c. Roberts,
the Greenback candidate for Senator, We
see no reason for longer suppressing the
alleged facts, in which the voters of our
county have so deep an interest, and
which have found their way into the
papers. The sober men of Waldo county
do not wish to be represented by drink
ing man, much less by one who reels
before public audience III a maudlin
condition. 1t is an offence which can be
neither forgotten nor forgiven.

While the utterances of all their public

The last great burglary in Balti-
more was remarkably skilful and
successful crime. The burglars
dug through brick wall into a
jewelry store at night. The safe
containing the most valuable part
of the stock was on q platform,
fully exposed to sight from the
street, and with gas burning bright
ly. A screen was placed in front Of
it, and the burglars thus worked
undetected, while confederate in
the street was ready to give warn
ing of danger by jerking o string.
Compact but powerful machinery
afterward abandoned, was used in
breaking the door of the safe
Watches and diamonds worth $780,
600 were carried away.

instant contains tho confession of
John Smith, who was sentenced by
Judge Mackey to be hung for the
murder of Bergen Conger, commit
ted on the 28th of December last.
The following are the principal
points Of the confession
"My name is not John Smith, but
Lon Mooring. I am twenty-eight
years old and was born near
Raleigh, N. c., and remained there
until 1870. I came down to Ches-
ter on Christmas day. I walked
through town, until I got to where
the dirt road crosses the railroad
some distance above the depot
(near j. l.. Carroll's store); there I
met the man. He asked me about
Chester whether there was any
work to be had here. He asked me
where was the hotel I told him
thore was hotel up town, that
charged two dollars and half day.
He asked mo if there was cheap
boarding. house in town. I told
him there was one farther down the
railroad. We walked on together
down the railroad, until we got
about two hundred yards below the
depot There I struck him on the
back of the head with heavy stick.
He fell to the ground, and then
made an attempt to riso and said,
'Pleaso don't kill me-. T struck him
again several times, and he never
spoke again did not put his body
on the railroad track ho fell across
tho track. My object was to got
his money. I took his pocket-book
from his pocket I found in the
pocket-!oool eleven dollars and Il
quarter, and q paper of needles. I
also took a razor from one of his
pockets. After I robbed him I
went down the railroad, jumped off
the bank and threw my stick into
little pond. I took the money from
the pocket book and then threw the
pocket-book and the razor over the
fence into the branch. T have
never killed OF tried to kill anybody
before this havo never robbed any
body or tried to rob. I did this
because was tired travelling, and
was hungry and had no money. 7
nm very sorry for what I have done.
l know I deserve death and will
try to spend the fow days I have in
preparing for it"

AN EXPENSIVE STATE HoUsE.-On O.
motion in the New York Legislature
to continue work on the New York
State House in Albany, which,
though having boen in course Of
erection many years, is not half
finished, Mr.. Erastus Brooks gave
the following data:
The new capitol was originally
promised to cost $4,000,000. It has
already cost S8,20O,OO0-a sum
greater than tho price of the post
Office III New York city, with the
$l,000,000 paid for the land on
which it is built included--and $5,-
600, 1000 moro asked for Probably
S15,000,000 will be required to com
plete it, More money was spent to
dig hole for it's foundation than
was required to construct the old
capitol. The old capitol of the
United States cost but $1,500,O0O.
The capitol at Ottawa, in the Do
minion Of Canada, cost but $5,000,-
1000. This new capitol of the State
Of New York is larger than the capt.
tol at Washington, and it's interior,
especially the size of the Assembly
chamber, is monstrously dispropor-
toned to the population of the
State and the number of legislators
which will be required to assemble
in it for centuries to come. The
Assembly chamber is larger than
the House of Peers in London,
which accommodates $50 lords, and
larger than the House of Represen-
tatives at Washington, which seats
296 members. Yet at the present
time there are only 1873 members Of
the Assembly.
