PORTLAND, June lS-The Democratic
State Convention met today and organ
| lied, with Z. w. Lsribee, of Bath, a,
| Chairman.
After the appointment Of the usus
! committees, u recess WAS taken.
After recess, the Committee on Resolu
tions made report, rs follows:
! ResoIved That we still hold to the
principles OF the National Democratic
party as announced in Its conventions
and supported by its press for the last ten
| years, and wherein we demand:
|. The payment of the bonded debt OF
the United States as rapidly rs practica-
bic.
=. No further issue OF government
bonds, whereby equal taxation with the
other property of the country is avoided.
3. That we are opposed TO an ire.
deemsble currency, but believe in cur
renCy for the government ard people,
the lsborer and the office holder, the pen
sioner and the soldier, the producer and
the bondholder. We are opposed TO the
present National banking system, and
favor the gradual substitution of green
backs for National bank bills.
4. We fully endorse the action of the
majority of the members Of the House
OF Representatives in their investigation
of the eetion frauds, by which the coun.
try was cheated and robbed of the honest
and rightful possession of the offices o.
President and Vice President OF the
Unites States, and insist that the guilty
parties whoever they may be- and
whoever found, should be punished,
that truth and justice 0e vindicated, and
repetition OF the like ofense be made
impossible.
5. We demand that all legislation shall
be so enacted and so administered as to
secure each man as nearly as practicable
the Just rewards of his own labor.
The sixth and seventh resolutions con-
denim the policy Of the Republican
party.
A minority resolution was presented,
TO the effect that the existing legislation
In Maine relative to the sale of liquors, MS
now executed, works wrong and hardship
An amendment, we believe, is necessary,
so that the suppression of An evil in So
Ci6lJ may OO piOLHObCu "lkuOut NIOldLlOu
of the rights of sny citizen.
Considerable debate followed, and the
question on the amendment was taken
Uiua UOce, and was so nearly y equal that
rising vote was ordered. This was de-
eided in favor of adding the minority
resolution by vote OF 220 to Ill.
Mr.. Pillsbury expressed his indigns-
ton, saying it was done by packing the
house. This was received with misses
and the declaration that the Convention
was insulted.
Confusion ensued and it was demand
ed that division be ordered and that all
not members of the Convention quit the
floor. Two votes on accepting the amend
ment were taken, amidst much coniu.
sion, but WI b no RS 1T, and i. was voted
that the vote be taken Dy counties.
The Convention, by vote of l8l to
l67, rejected the minority resolution, asd
the majority resolution was then adopted.
Alonzo Gsrcelon was nominated for
Governor and the Convention sd-
journed.

The township trustees have given
notice of an appeal to higher court IN
the case OF Dr.. j. ID. Hobenssck We. ssid
trustees for services rendered to psupeIs.
Perhaps it would be well enough for
ssid trustees and county indmsry
directors to explsin why, in awarding
the contract for this part of the township
they gave it to&he highest bidder instead
of the lowest. 1t Is well understood that
their were three bids for this precinct,
and the highest bidder received the con-
tract, and some feel ANXIOUS to know why
this WAS the case.
The Mayors court has beer very well
attended the last few days, most Of the
cases being of the disorderly kind, and
some for plain drunk.

Butler on the PresidenIs TitIe

WASHINGTON, June l8-Genersl
Butler, as an individual member Of the
Judiciary Committee, to-day submitted
at great length to the House OF Repre-
sentatives his reasons for dissenting from
the resolution and report OF the majority
IN regard TO the inviolsbllity OF the
Presidents title He thinks it rensrks-
bic that in the face OF the sixth section OF
the act establishing an Electoral Com.
mission the Commission should have
come 10 the conclusion that the proceed
ings of the Com mission or OF Cengres;
subsequent thereto, constitute an immov-
able finally, when the law itself declares
the contrary, and the contrary was en-
phsticsly assumed by the House Of Rep.
sentstives. Instead of constituting q
finally, these proceedings were
on their face, and in express terms mere
ly temporary expediency or device to
avoid the contingency of = lapse Of cleo
ticn for which the Constitution had
made no provision. The Congress, ne
says, by express words of the law. de-
clsred that its object and effect were
provisional only. The President entered
upon his office with express notice that
his tenure was questionable in charac-
ter, OF doubtful isvsldity, and not made
absolute by interposition of the extra
Constitutional Commission, but to be
examined ans sdjudicsted upon by the
Courts.
