In our last Issue We gave a synopsis OF
the platform adopted by the Democratic
convention IMPORT land. The disaffection
which appeared ia the party last year
seems to have lost none Of its strength and
1t can now be considered as pretty certain
that the greater part Of the Democrats in
the Easter n portion Of the State will follow
the lead of Marcellus Emery and affiliate
with the greenback party. Penobscot and
most OF the counties adjoining it. had Writ
uslly no delegates In the Convention and
the balance Of the State, judging by the
number Of votes cast, felt no hope of sue
cess and only met to keep up the party Or
ganization. This WAS apparent from the
fact that while the State WAS entitled to
nearly 1850 delegates, less than $50 voted
NJ any time. To be sure the Committee on
credentials reported 703 delegates present.
but after the failure OF Mr.. Clifford's anti
temperance resolution, less than $50 took
any further interest 10 the proceedings.
This resolution was offered In behalf OF
seven OF the Committee and vas la favor
of license law for the sale OF liquor. How
such 4 resolution should fail 10 Q Demo-
cratic Convention 10 Q wonder to every one
and to none more than the Democrats
themselves. 1t is. however, an established
fact that the Democrats of Maine, In three
consecutive Conventions, have declared in
favor of temperance. while yet the Repub-
lican party REFINED that plank 10 their
platform.
They declared themselves opposed to an
irredeemsble currency, the pesent system
of national bonds, and in favor:of the grad
ual substitution of greenbscks for national
bank bills. This was the sugar coating
FOR the irredeemabla currency pill and is,
ge.erally considered - having been rather
nicely put on.
DR.. Gsrcel0n. the nominee for Governor,
stands very high ia his profession In this
State, and is q gentleman possessed OF
many estimable qualities. He was Re
publican up to 1872 and In that party had
served In both branches of the Legislature.
Becoming disa4ected, he followed Horace
Greeley and gradually drifted into the Dem
ocratic party. In some respects his case
is not unlike that of Mr.. Smith the Green.
