MAINE.

men of Webster and Lisbon have
had interviews with the Governor
relative to the change in the certif-
cate of election from those towns.
The certificate was given to the
Democrats on the ground that the
three names appended to the res
turns were all signed by one per-
son. The selectmen have now
made oath that each one
signed for himself, and
all other formalities were props
erly complied with. The selectmen
seem confident that the certificate
of election to Mr.. Bealdermoral
will be recalled, and that new
one will be ordered to be issued to
Thomas, Republican.

back State Committee was held.
Delegates were appointed to the
National Convention, which

Council, declaring full confidence
in them, and believing they had
counted the vote honestly, They
denounce the utterances Of Repub-
lican politicians in public meetings,

Executive Department Of the State
as an insult to the Governor and
Council, and disgrace TO the State,
as we'll as to the party.

PORTLAND, Dec. 26.-The senti
ment among the better and leading
class of Democrats in this vicinity
, seems to be that Mrroill's PROPOSE
ton should be accepted, and thai

them of their most valuable possessions, and
that these bandits operate with impunity be-
cause Democratic legislation has forbidden
the soldiers to interfere with them. Under

Gibbs, of London, who was formerly Gov

of the Commissioners from Great Britain to
the Paris International Conference on the
silver question. In Company with his col
leagues there, he stubbOrnly resisted every
proposal looking to international action on the
question. and 1t is well known that the complete

| body Of the pamphlet was completed. Inc
controlling fact is that events have pressed
strongly upon the minds OF Engiis hmen,
or, more strictly. upon their pockets the con-
yiction that the great commercial ana IN
dustIial disasters of Great Brit IN nave
been in large measure due to the
uncertainty and fluctuation IN the rate OF cx-
change between that country, where gold
alone is used as money, and other countries
where silver is chiefly used.
This fact is set forth by Mr. Gibbs with
very great clearness and force. England, he
saws. has been in state of barter with
"India and other silver using countries since
"1s16r 1t has been able to bear such an
"uncivizcd condition of commerce only
because there has been a safey-valye-
" France has been there with her double stan
" dard of gold and silver, preserving the eqm-
"librium of the two metals by receiving in-
differently the gold of England and the
silver of India, aud acting rs Il clearing
house between the two countries" Mr.
Gibbs then takes up. one by one, all the OBJ
icctions to a reconciliation of silver by inter
national agreement, and employs in answering
them precisely the arguments which had been
in vain employed by the American Commits
sioncrs at Paris, and by Mr.. Chcvalier in his
notable pamphlet published some time ago.
1t is impossible AZ once to measure the effect
of such pamphlet rs this, from such
source. Unquestonably it Will greatly pro-
mote the negotiations which Secretary Evarts
has commissioned Mr.. George Walker to CON
duct, and may not improbably lead TO an AZ
sent on the part of England 10 another confer

gate the subject in Il new spirit, aud with
sincere desire 10 find remedy for grave evils
10 which the commerce of Germany and other
countries has been subjected mainly by Ger

Is no reason to expect serious opposition from
any other country than England. and the tone
Of Nj. GbhS'~ pamphlet indicates that he
finds great change in English opinion on
the subject. II w0uld bc strange indeed il
such Il powerful argument in favor of a new
