The Democratic of Maine held their
State Convention at Portland on the
81. II T.. nominated Alonzo Gar
celon as their candidate for Governor.
The platform is most admirale one
upon which the Democrats of all parts
of the Union can rally. The follow
ing is the substance of it:
Resolred-That we still hold to the
principles of the National Democratic
party as announced in it's Conventions
and supported by it's press the last ten
years, and werein are demanded,
First-The payment of the bonded
debt of the United States as rapidly a.
practicable.
Second-No further issue of Gov
ernment bonds whereby equal taxa
ton with other property of the country
is avoided.
Third-That we are opposed to an
irredeemable currency, but believe in
q currency for the Government and
people, the laborer and office-hoider,
the pensioner aud soldier, the produc.
er and bondholder. We are opposed
to the present National banking sys'
tenn, and favor the gradual substitu
|
, bills.
Fourth-We fully endorse the &C
! ton of the majority of the members
of the House of Representatives II
, their investigation of election fraud!
, by which the country was cheated ant
robbed of the honest and rightful pos
: session Of Offices of the President ant
t Vice.President of the United States
and insist that the guilty parties, who
, ever they may be, and wherever found
. should be punished; truth and justic
yindicated, and repetition of lik
offence be made impossible.
Fifth-We demand that all legisla
: ton shall be so enacted and so admin
y istered as to secure to each man, q
|. nearly as practicable, the jnst reward
of his own labor,
t The sixth aud seventh resolution
: condemn the policy of the Republica
9 party.

The Iowa Radicals met in State
Convention at Des Monies on the 18th
and nominated Q State ticket. Their
platform is full of blood and thunder
about rebels. The following specl-
men plank will show "what the mat.
ter is that ails them" and that they are
not very complimentary to Hayes:
"The armed conflict between trail
tors and rebels who sought 10 destroy
the republic, and the patriots who de-
Tended and preserved it, was not mere
trial of physical force between Greeks.
It. was struggle of right against
wrong, of true civilization against a
false one. Whoever regards Republic
can and Democratic parties from any
other standpoint than this fails to
their character"

The Senate Matthews white-wash-
ing Committee has got to running.
Last Friday they had James E. And
erson before them, but he refused to
testify unless allowed counsel. as
Stanley Matthews, q very astute law
yer was acting as counsel fer himself.
The Committee would not allow him
counsel and he positively refused to
testify. But he proposed that if Sem
ator Matthews would go before the
House Committee and submit to an
examination, he (Anderson) would
testify before the Senate Committee,
which seems to be fair, square thing.
This puts Matthews in very embar-
rassing position, but he has no notion
of telling the Potter Committee what
he knows about the great steal. AS
the Senate is not in session there is
no power to make Anderson pro-
nounce by Furnishing him for contu-
macy.

IT was terrible thing for the DEM

IT was terrible thing for the DEM
ocrats of Montgomery county to elect
O'Connor, wounded soldier, to rep
resent them in the Legislature, be-
cause 1t tarned out that years ago,
when he was n Republican he had
committed an oRense for which he
was punished by being incarcerated
in the Michigan penitentiary. The
Republicans will never forget or for
give that great mistake. But they
think it was highly proper for their
party in Oregon to elect to the United
States Senate that pure and unadnlter-
ated patriot, Hipple- Mitchell, who
wears ago deserted his first wife near
Pittsburgh, Pa, moved to Oregon,
changed his name, and married an
other woman. But the new Demo-
cratic Legislature of Oregon will soon
dispose of this much marrying man,
the virtuous Radicals will
doubtless cling to him still.

The Labor Reformers seem to be
sweeping the boards on the Pacific
coast. At the election of delegates to
the Constitutional Convention held in
California on Tuesday of last week,
over 27,C00 votes were polled in San
Francisco, of which the Labor party
got ii, 900, and 10000 were divided
among the old parties and non par
tisau ticket. The complexion of the
Convention is estimated at 63 work
men, 33 non-partisans, 10 Republicans
and Democrats. Besides these there
were 80 delegates-at.large elected, and
the workinmen have secured enough
of them to give them a majority Of the
Convention. This is supposed to be
brought about by Chineses emigration,
which has mopopolized many branch
es of industry, and driven American
mechanics and laborers to idleness and
starvation. 1t is . pretty emphatic
protest against Cooley labor and emis
grafton.

A telegram from st. Joseph, Mo-,
announces the robbery of the First
National Bank of that city, Joseph G.
Hall, Cashier, of $1,000. The money
was in the bank when it opened, but
was discovered missing at noon by the
Cashier, while the remainder of the
officers and employees were at dinner.
The disappearance is very mysterious
and unaccountable. No suspicious
characters were in the bank during
the forenoon. A reward of $1,000 is
offered for the capture of the thief and
the return of the money.

Months ago, in accordance with the
demand of vast majority of the peo-
ple, the House of Representatives,
passed bill to repeal John Sherman's
odious, oppressive and ruinons re-
sumption law. This bill was sent to
the Senate. where it was held in the
Committee for long time, when the
Committee reported the following
substitute which says nothing about
the repeal of tho resumption act:
Be it enacted, etc., That from and
after passage, United States notes
shall be receivable the same as coin in
payment of 4 per centum. bonds now
authorized by law to be issued. On
and after October l, 1878, said notes
shall be receivable for duties on i'm
ports.
This substitute passed the Senate
and on the 18th came up in the House
for concurrence under the suspension
of the rules, but failed to get the nec-
essary two-thirds vote and was there
fore defeated. The vote stood lao for
concurrence to los againet. The green
hackers voted solid against the sub
stitute. This was attributable to cor
respondence which passed between
Representative Phillips and Secre-
tary Sherman. The former asked
Sherman the direct question if he
would apply greenbacks received for
the sale of four per cent. bonds solely
for resumption purposes. He evaded
the question, when Phillips wrote him
a second letter, and Sherman admitted
that he would so construe the Senate
substitute. This settled its fate. The
greenback men had an informal con-
ference, and it was decided that under
Sherman's construction the bill would
really operate to further contract the
currency. To defeat it they withheld
their votes and strangled it.
