Differences in the Democratic Delega-
ton

Peter DAILY, Esq, came out in yesterday IS
Argus, protesting against being superseded on
the delegation to the Democratic State Con-
yention. 1t seems that Mr.. DAILY was regularly
chosen, but that after he and his brother had
gone out OF the meeting the gentleman who
was knocked down and robbed by Mr.. DAILY
ION account of which little personal difference
Mr.. DAILY was enforced to do the state some
service at Thomaston,) Patrick McGlinchy,
Esq. objected to going to Bangor with a
gentleman who had resided at Thomaston in a
condition of involuntary servitude. The eau
Gus thereupon proceeded to elect Mr.. DAILY out
and to elect another man in his place. Mr..
DAILY is gentleman admirably qualified by
experience and natural abilities to serve his
party, and not having resumed his old occu-
patton since his return to this city, has ample
leisure to do conspicuous service and give his
time to politics, it is therefore surprising that
Mr.. MeGlinchy should harbor resentment in
regard to the late unpleasantness, when he
had gone so far as to sign the petition for Mr..
Days pardon. 1t is gratifying to know that
the Argus is inclined to do Mr.. DAILY Justice,
and also to know that several distinguished
Democrats in convention voted in favor of Mr.
DAILY, and against the squeamish preiudices of
the more fastidious delegates.

Doering.


A Greenback meeting was held at the town
house in Deering last evening. There was but
a small audience present although great deal
of drumming had been employed to get out
crowd. M. G. Dow presided The meeting
opened with one of those choice songs by Mr.
Randall, the so-called Moody and Sankey
warbler. Rev. Mr.. Butterfield, the chaplain
of the late Greenback State Convention, then
offered prayer, and read selections from the
Bible.
The speaker of the evening, Mr. Alexander
Troup, of New Haven, Conn, was then intro
duced. He was evidently suffering from
col as he was very husky. His speech con-
sisted almost entirely of abuse of the Republi-
can party and he seemed to dwell with pleas
ure on the statement that sit was no great
credit to Daniel f. Davis to have gone to the
war and carried knapsack." The thousands
of brave soldiers who fought for the Republic,
whose homes are in Maine, may think differ
emily in September.
There was great lack of enthusiasm and no
new converts came forward to announce their
allegiance to the Greenback cause.

A Move to be Regretted,

Last winter Mr.. A. g. Schlotterbeck, the
well known apothecary, made arrangements to
keep his store open all night, with competent
prescription clerk in attendance. We regret
to hear that Mr.. Schlotterbeck has found that
the venture does not prove remunerative and
that he shall have to close up his night bust
ness unless some proof of appreciation of his
efforts is shown by our citizens. OF course he
does not expect the public to take away their
custom from their own druggists but he does
think that those people who have found the
great advantage, and in some cases, the nm
speable boon of an open drug -store at night
should, during the day, occasionally patronize
the store. The medical profession all &C
knowledge the importance of an open drug
store at night. We trust, with many others,
that our citizens will so appreciate Mr..
Schlotterbeck's efforts that he will be induced
to change his present determination.

SKIN DISEASE.
A Remarkable letter from j. A. Fucker,
Esq, manufacturer of the Bay
State superphOsphate.

Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER: Genten,en,-I think
have paid for medicines and medical treatment
during the last twenty years all of three thousand
dollars, without receiving any permanent relief.
Last May while taking Turkish bath at IT Bea-
con ST., young man employed there by the name
of VIM. Corbett induced me to allow him to apply q
preparation that he had upon me, assuring me that
it was perfectly harmless and for certain consider
alton he would cure me within thirty days from the
time he commenced In case he failed to do so /
was to pay him nothing. l consented and he applied
it nearly every day for five weeks when the disease
entirely disappeared. l very eheerfully paid him
the amount agreed upon, and then asked him what
this remedy was and he replied that it other
than CUTICURA.
Since that time have had no trouble from this
disease and have not had such good health in twenty
years as have had during the last six months.
have since my recovery bought CUTICURA and
given it to friends suffering with skin Diseases and
in every instance it has cured them believe it to
be the greatest discovery of the present century.

SOAP and RESOLyENT taken internally until cured
and for some time afterward. Where the Humors
are confined to the blood and do not show them
selves ON the surface, the REsoLvENT alone will
speedily drive them from the system. The CUTIcURA
REMEDIES infallibly cure the most loathsome cases
of Scrofuous and Skin and Scalp Humors, as is at
tested by hundreds of unsolicited testimonials in our
