MAINE DEMOCRACY.

Abstract Of Platform Adopted at the State Con-
VsntlOn--AlOnEO GArcelOn Nominated for GOV
OrnOr,
Portland, June 18.-The Democratic
State Convention met to-day, and organ
lied with Charles W. Larrabee of Bath,
Chairman. After the appointment OF
the usual committees recess was TAKEN
THE PLATFORM.
After recess, the Committee on Reso'
lutions made a report as follows:
R,so,rcd That we still hold to the principles OF
the National Democratic party as announced IN
It's Conventions aud supported by It's press the last
ten wears and wherein are demanded
First THE payment OF the bonded debt OF Ihe
United States Ms rapidly as practicable ,,s.
Second No further issue OF Government bohOs
whereby equal taxation with other properly OF
the county Is avoided. ,A,,
ghird-1hat we are opposed to an irredeemSele
currency, but believe IN currency lot tnS Wv Wv
eremeut aud people the labOrer and once 'holuef
the pensOner aud soldier, the producer ana ponu
holder We are opposed TO the present NauonAl
banking system, aud favor the gradual SuDsu'u
tion Of greenbaCks for National bank plllS'
THE PRESIDENTIAL STEAL.
Fourih-we fully endorse the action Of the ma
ioTiIv OF the members OF the House Of Represen'
tatives in their investigation Of election frauds by
which the country was cheated and TobOed OF the
honest aud rlPhtful possession OF othces Oh tne
President and Vice President OF the United states,
and insIst that the guilty parties, whoever lhey
may be, and wherever found, should be punished
truth and justice vindicated, and repeullon OF
like offence be made impossible.
FSth- We demand that all legislation shall pe
so enacted and so administered as secure toeacH
man, as nearly as practicable the just rewards Vi
his own labor.
The sixth and seventh resolutions condemnthe
policy of tBe Republican party,
A minority resolution was presented
to tie effect that the existing legislation
in Maine relative to the sale of liquors,as
now executed, work wrong and hardship.
An amendment, we believe, is necessary,
so that the suppression of an evil in sociie'
ty may be promoted without the VIOLA
ton of the rights ofany citizens. -,
Considerable debate followed. Ihe
on the amendment was taken
viUa Uoce, and was so nearly equal that
rising vote was ordered, This was decid'
ed in favor Of adding the minority reso'
luton by vote of 22O to Ill,
Mr., Pilsbury expressed his indigna'
ion saving it was done by packing the
house. This was received with misses,
and declaration that the Convention
was insulted. Confusion ensued, and II
was demanded division be ordered, and
that all not members of the Convention
luit the floor. Two votes on accepting
.he amendment were taken, but with no
result and it was voted that the vote be
taken by counties. ,o
The Convention, by "a vote Of lSl to
lB7 rejected the minority resolution, and
the majority resolutions were then adop'
led. ,
Alonzo Garcelon was nominated can
lidate for Governor, after which the
Convention adjourned.

ASSASSINATION IN JAPAN.

Minister Okubo, of Japan, was mur.
dered on the l4th Of May, about o'clock
in the morning. He was on his way to
attend the council, and Just before reach
ing the palace gate, an open space near
one of the city moats, his carriage was
stopped by band of armed assassins,
six in number. They first killed one of
the horses and the CoaChman, and then
fell upon the Minister, who was unarT-
cd and helpless, and hacked him almost
to pieces. The murderers, after wash
ing their hands, walked deliberately to
the palace gate, and surrendered them
selves to the Sergeant in charge. This
crime was committed in the heart of a
city (TOkio) containing near one million
population, and police force of over r.
900 men.

CONGRESSMAN Hewitt, of New NorE,
who voted against Burchard's resolution
as to the Presidents title, but voted for
the report of the Judiciary Committee,
explains his course. The explanation is
only important because he is presum-
ed to voice Governor Tilden's senti-
ments. He says, in speech printed in
the Congressional Record:
So far as the question of title is con-
cerned l should have hesitation in vot-
ing for the resolution offered by the gen.
tleman from Illinois, Mr.. Burchard, bur
when he declared that possible action Of
this House, or any future House Of Rep
resentatives may be revolutionary, | can
not bring myself to acknowledge by my
vote that such contingency is possible.
The House expresses the direct voice Of
the people; and, in country where the
people are sovereign, it is contradic-
ton to assert that revolution is possible
through the Representative Of the peo'
pie. 1t seems to me little short of trea-
son to my own conscience, treason to the
memory of the host of martyrs who,
from the time of James l. to William III,
fought the battles of human freedom for
the British people, for us and for man
kind, to tolerate the idea that the people
through their representatives can organ
ize revolution in any contingency what
ever l shall, therefore, vote against
the resolution of the gentleman from H.
linois, but shall vote for the resolution
which understand will be presently Of
fered by the Judiciary Committee, de-
claring the title of the President can not
be successfully assailed, and that Con-
gress can not confer power upon any
Court to try his title to the high office
which confers no honor to the present
occupant.
