"The Uery man OF all others ,uhO has the

things constitute the uery harvest time of spec

that aohich deludes them ,oith paper money.
This Is the most efectual Of intentions to fer

The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic Convention, which met in
this city yesterday, showed its usual fondness
for apostates by nominating as its candidate
for Governor renegade from the Republican
party, Doctor Alonzo Garcelon, of Lewiston,
a man of many estimable qualities, but la
mentally lacking in political efficiency and in
aptitude for public affairs. He is disap-
pointed man, whose merits, he thinks, have
not been recognized by the Republicans, and
he seeks elsewhere that public acknowledge
ment of his abilities which his old party neg
lected to give. For some years now he has
been seeking a gubernatorial nomination
from Democratic conventions, and this latest
convention-apparently with the hope of
Kidding the party OF the importunate demands
of his friends, certainly with no expectation
of electing him-has at length gratified him.
Doubtless he is to be classed with the ''year-
lings" that the Democrats have of late been
offering up on the altar of their inefficient
ambition.
The platform adopted was very fair one
for a Democratic convention. The first reso-
luton reaffirming all the national platforms
which have been adopted by the Democracy
Tor the last ten years is probably the mos
comprehensive resolution ever passed by a
political convention. The Democrats have
been busily engaged during the last decade in
leaping from one deserted Republican plat
form to another, but they have never before
attempted to incorporate all their inconsis-
tencies in one general declaration. The call for
the rapid payment of the bonded debt has
been anticipated by Republican Secretaries of
the Treasury, who have discharged nearly
six hundred millions of that debt since the
close of the war. The third resolution, too,
calling for the same currency for all classes
is plagiarism from Republican plat
forms, as the avowed object of the
Republican party is to bring into circulation
once more coin, the common currency OF all
men in all parts Of the world. The planks
asking that legislation shall be SO admins
tered as to secure to each man the just re-
wards OF his own laI DOR is stock declaration
OF political parties. The Democracy have
shown their SINGER ity in their treat nent Of
the slave. The dec larations in favor of bien
NAL sessions of the Legislature and in favol
OF the substitution of Treasury notes for ma
tional bank notes were evidently inte nded tC
conciliate the Ga eenbackers. But Il ,e con

vention certainly did ore good thing. 1t re-
affirmed its action OF the last three years in
regard TO the temperance question. 1t Is
now conclusively settled by the action of
three consecutive Democratic conventions
that the Democracy of Maine is committed
to the principle of prohibition, and that that
question is no longer to be the football of
party politics.
On the whole the Democratic party makes
no new issues. 1t does not even name DEM
ocratic candidates. There are no Democratic
candidates for the governorship this year.
The Greenbackers have nominated arenegade
Republican, the Democrats have followed
their example. The Republicans will GER
tainly renominate Gov. Connor One of
these three is TO be chosen by the people.
There is no necessity of commencing to the
sufrages of the people the man who has
served them so acceptaby as Chief Magis-
trate for three years. The other candidates
may need to be introduced to the people.

THE communication of the Hon. George F

read with interest, in view Of the financial
views of Daniel Webster. From the opinions
of Mr.. Webster, as expressed in 1916, it is evi-
dent that at that time he did not favor free
banking, but thought that the sole issue Of
paper money should rest with the govern
-ment. But at no time did he ever lend his
countenance to the heresy of irredeemable
paper money. He always recognized the
fact that coin must be the basis of currency.
