The greenback platform adopted at Port
land lacks some of the essential elements
of last years platform. True it is said
that the principles of last year are rc-af-
firmed, but among the resolutions we look
in vain for any denuncation of resumption
or contraction, any special allusions to the
debtor class or any mention of measures
of relief for the laborer.

one OF the principal planks of the
platform of 1878. 1t was put forward
as one of the leading issues of the cam
paign. Thousands who voted the green
back ticket last September did 50 because
they honestly thought resumption of specie
payments would be disastrous To the
country. The laborer was told that it
would make his condition worse; the
farmer that it would reduce the price OF

We need only ask our readers to sean the
report of the >o-callcd "Conventon" that in
augurated the Grcenback campaign at Port

to illustrate the performances Of that gather
ing.
The ''platform'' is noticeable only for ITS
utter weakness, judged even by the average
grcenback standard. and its stupid attempt at
the outset to perpetrate trans parent fraud up
on the public BY play upon words too silly
to be even amusing. the trainers seek 10 con

public debt has been increased II any mem

pairing that statement he i too ignorant to be

an impudent fraud blazoncd at the very head

hood effectively and at once.

Democrats and Greenbackers.
From the Lewiston journal.

Leading democrats mingled freely with
grecnbackers, but those who were opposed
TO fusion got rebufied. Some greenbackers
were pronounced against any union even on
county officers. LvfUrd of Lewiston urged
that it was for the interest of democrats To
unite with ereenbackcrs if offices could be
fairly divided. There is strong feeling among
leading democrats against Gov. Garccon and
there is a feeling that it will be necessary to
drop him. Chase of Sebec, of the demo
cratic State committee. did not attend the
meeting of that committee, and he has gone
over to the greenbackers. Knox, Piscata-
quis and Franklin had no representatives at
the meeting of the democratic State commit
tee.
The democrats felt inclined to unite with
their greenback brethren and called a meet
ing last night OF the State committee. but af-
ter the members of the committee rot toupth
or they found that the grcenbackers did not
wish to unite. Then the democrats took hipl,
and lofty ground and declared that they
would not enter into combination with any
one, fixed upon Bangor and July lst as the
place and time for holding the Democratic
convention, and their enthusiasm evidently
rising, they endorsed the declaration Of Gov
ernor Garcelon that Maine would give IL. 900
democratic majority in September, and then
blissiully adjourned amid great enthusiasm
