The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic Convention at Bangor,
yesterday, re-nominated Gov. Garcelon,
much against its will, and adopted a plat
form of which the planks relating to Nation
al affairs condemn a wrong that does not
exist, and those relating to State affairs ap-
prove reduction of expenditures that has
not been made. Then, after fight over the
rum question, which resulted in almost the
only credtable action of the day, it dis
solved.
The position the convention took in re-
gard to the currency is more sound than
sincere. The object of that resolution is to
hold the votes of men whose detestation of
the soft money heresy is driving them toward
the Republican party. 1t is hoped that they
will vote for Garcelon, while it is sure the
majority of their fellows will vote for Smith {;
for the leaders of the party expect to do
nothing this year. They will only mark
time. They simply desire to keep up the
form of party organization in view of the
possible election of a Democratic President
in 1880, and the consequent distribution of
official spoils. The main body of the Demo-
cratic army will march into the GreenDack
lines, leaving only the color-guard on the
old amping-ground. The resolution prom
ising support to Gov. Garcelon is only taken
to be broken. The very men who proposed
it will desert him. The entire eastern part
OF the State will ignore him as it did last
year. He is to serve as dummy while the
Democracy is on a raid. When it comes
back to camp next year it hopes to bring the
Greenbackers with it.
