-Malodorous Miller has q theory, Of

establish sub-Treasaries In all the towns
Of any considerable size throughout the

and supply them with fiat money" &C.
cordin9 TO the wants Of the people. Any

IL One Dollar" or such amounts as are
usual 10 bills, and are to be OF legal tender,
receivable for customs duties. and all debts
both public and private.
This. of course. Is after the Govern
ment has issued the fiat money su A.
cient TO redeem all Its outstanding bonds,
and has abolished the National banks.
He claims that .his will force the capital
already In the country to seek Investment
In business enterprises, and SO afford work
for the laboring classes. He did not allude
To the increased number OF Office holders
that would be required to carry out such
q theory. He did not refer to the numer-
Gus vaults that would have to be built by
the Government to securely hold this NAT
money" He did not mention the fact that
the judgment of those Office holders would
not be any more accurate. regarding the
value OF the securities offered. than Is the
Judgment OF individuals when loanin2 their
own money. and in consequence. the Gov
eminent wonld often be subjected to loses.
He did not suggest the fact that so great a
number Of Office holders, having the entire
control OF the money Of the country. would
open one OF the most moustrous monopo-
lies the world has ever known and lead d.
recily TO such political corruption as the
world has never seen. Oh no. He did
no, mention any Of these things. aud yet
the maa Of average intelligence. whn stops
for one moment to consider the theory Of

seeing that the consequences above re-
ferred TO. are only a small part of the

Republican Nominations.
Greenbsck County Convention.

The Gieenback County Convention for
Hancock county assembled in Hancock
Hall on Saturday forenoon last. As "sn
uprising OF the people" 1t was not q sue
cess. The greater portion OF those pres
ent were there out OF curiosity and took
no part in the doings of the convention.
The business appeared TO be conducted
largely by men who have been conspicu-
GUS As office seekers 10 the old parties, or
who have won a reputation as pioneers 10
every new ism that has sprung up during
the last twenty years. As il WAS mass
convention, no credentials were required
but committee was appointed and re-
guest made for each one present TO hand
his name in TO this Committee. We were
unable TO learn how many svailed them
selves Of the privilege but as about p
votes was the highest number cast at any
one ballot we judge that must have been
the full strength OF the convention. Schuy-
Ter Wardwell OF Bucksport Was called to
the chair. A committee on resolutions
was also appointed and & set OF resolutions
reported by Horace Davis OF Ellsworth
which were adopted after some discussion.
The resolutions first endorse the Toledo
platform. Second, the platform adopted
by the Greenback State Convention ST
Lewiston and for fear that was NOS enough
Mr.. Davis reported quite a string of add
tional resolutions. Objection was made
that some OF them were in contradiction to
portions OF the two platforms endorsed,
but this was not considered OF sufficient
importance 10 con stitute valid objection,
and al the resolutions were passed. The
convention then proceeded 10 make the
nominations.
Mr.. c. J. Hall of Mt Desert and Mr..
MAlbary kiDgman OF Mariaville were nom
mated for Senator's. Capt. Jesse Dutton
Of Ellsworth then moved 70 nominate T.
G. W. Dodge OF BluehIll for County Com
missioner. Objection was made TO Mr..
Dodge that he WAS zone who was no, on
the Lords side /. e. not good green
hacker.
nominee for Senator /. understood to be
pronounced hard money Democrat, this
was hardly valid objection, but the con-
vention sustained It.
Emerson circuit then moved TO nominate
Mr.. Wendell Silsby of Amherst. but the
objection 10 him Was that be lived in the
northern part OF the county. This WAS
shown to be sufficient, and then Alonzo
Colby Of Bscksport moved the nomination
of. Foster Soper OF Orland and be was
accepted As the candidate for Commission
er. Horace Davis of Ellsworth WAS then
nominated for county Treasurer and the
work Of the Convention was closed. In
the afternoon Leo Miller addressed q mass
meeting and In the evening "love feast
was held. At which speeches we're made by

The Government officers imprisoned
by the State authorities In South CarolinA
have at last been surrendered TO the
United States Marshal. or rather, we
should say the Marshal was allowed 10
take them without resistance from the
sheriff. This is regarded in Washington
as having been the result OF an under
standing between the President and Wade
Hampton. In accordance with which, the
Illicit dlstillers in that State, who sur
render themselves and promise 10 obey
the revenue laws in future, are no, TO be
prosecuted. Should this prove to be the
case II will be precedent by which each
State can protect its citizens. When 10y q
violation OF the laws OF the general Gov
eminent citizen OF any State has render
ed himself liable 10 arrest, all that will be
necessary is TO arrest q Government Off
cial and hold him till the President con-
sents TO an exchange OF prisoners. This
may be rather humIliating 10 some but no
one can deny that the right of the state
has been respected.

determination not TO give up this import
ant principle. Among the more recent OF
these is General Philo Clark Of Androscog-

The Democrats OF this District met In
Convention n Belfast, on Tuesday last,
and nominated J. II. Martin, Esq., OF
Rockpor,, for Representative TO Congress.
We learn that an attempt Was made to
endorse Mr.. Aurch, the Greenbsck candi-
date. but the convention WAS hardly pre-
pared to 60 over soul and body 10 that
heresy. As will be seen by our tele-
graphic news An attempt Was also made
TO bring the party back TO honest money.
but that also failed. The County Conven-
ton came on, squarely for soft money, and
endorsed the Greenbsck nominees. The
party appears to be breaking up in this
District, and the course taken on Tuesday.
at Belfast, shows tina, the leaders have
lost all hope Of accomplishing anything
this fall. We would suggest that Abra-
ham Lincoln's familiar story about "swap-
ping horses in the middle OF 3 river"
would apply al this time.

Miller says; "All property is the
result OF labor, therefore, all property by
right belongs TO the laborer."
Who is the laborer as described by
Miller7 He is not the bond holder. nor
the mortgage holder, be is not even q
holder Of properly Of any kind II We
could judge from the speech OF Mr.. Miller

those who work for wages and who save
nothing from those wages, and possibly
the class called tramps. The moment q
man saves anything from his wages and
invests it in bonds or mortgages, or even

mand more than one per cent" or course
this applies to ali kinds Of property that
