The meeting of yesterday may safely be said
to have been failure, if the leaders expected
that the fusion movement was to be advanced
thereby.

THE EVENING SESSION.

An evening session was held and the Green
back Congressional convention was called for
July 18th at Portland. general discussion
followed the announcement. 1t may be re-
marked that while the meeting was supposed
to have been called in the interest of the
Democratic party a good deal of miscellaneous
Greenback business was also transacted
The Democrats accepted several PROPOSE
tions including one, giving them but three
electors, but modified their acceptance by in
sisting on some conditions of their own, that
according to Mr.. j. f. Turner, the Green
hackers will not accept and that Col. S. A.
Berry OF Deering believes that will at least
di ide their party.
On motion of Hon. Bion Bradbury the
Democrats named the following gentlemen as
their candidates for electors: Messrs. Watts of
Knox, Donavan of Aroostook and Cromwell of
York. 1t was also decided that the Green
back State committee should meet at Augusta
on Tuesday, the 9th inst, and decide whether
to ratify these nominations and that their
answer should be sent to the Democratic
State committee which will meet in Portland
the next day and decide ON what course they
will pursue. AS far as regards district and
county. nominations it was thought best to
leave that matter entirely in the hands of the
committees in those sections as better able to
judge of the wants of the people The con-
ference then adjourned
AS to the result the leading Greenbackers
are divided. Col. Elliot King believes that
will not be nominated for Congress, and that
all will yet be we'll, while admitting that Col
Springer and the New Era-Leader will be ant
to make it extremely hot for the Fusionists
Mr.. J. F. Turner said that fusion is not yet
secured, and has not been advanced by the
meeting and his opinion was concurred in by
all of the Greenbackers present who were un-
derstood to be Cove men. Cap'n Chase said
that nothing had been accomplished toward
fusion, and another Greenbacker said that it
was plain to him that Bradbury and the rest
OF the Democrats did not look upon the Green
hackers as men of truth.
The real point of difficulty seems to have
been thls:-The Greenbackers wanted to at
tend to State matters first, and were not will
ling to take up the question of electors till
after tie September election and this the
Democrats would not consent to, and cool
ness was the result. Cap'n Chase remarked to
Torrey of Bath that man who was not salts
fed with the reason given for their action
| must be worse than a lame mule. 81 am not
satisfied" said Torrey; Then" replied the
Cap'n, you're worse than lame muIe.'' Mr..
Torrey, it is said, despite this assurance. re.
manned unconvinced.

They Had Their NrcMs en Su1s-
dan.

The public mind in Patterson, n.
j., the scene of yesterdays disgrace
ful riot, was greatly infamed several
days ago by the appearance OF highly
pictorial circus posters on all Of the
hillboards; and for a week the people
did little less then talk circus. The
circus was to have performed on Fri
day. Early in the forenoon people
began to arrive in the city, some of
them coming fully thirty miles in
wagons, and before the time for the
performance to begin the streets
were thronged. The circus fever had
taken hold of the mill-hands with
such grip that several of the fac
tories were not opened at all in the
morning. Others began work, but
were compelled to suspend. In one
instance the foreman tried to keep
the hands in by locking the gate,
was opened in response to threat
on the part of the hands that they
would throw him into the mill-race
if he persisted in trying to detain
them. One man who was refused
leave to go, jumped out of a window
and cut his leg on the glass. He
spent the morning in getting his
leg sewed up, and when he went
back to the mill in the afternoon he
was discharged. Such excitement
among the mill-hands was never be-
fore known. And after all this ex-
citement the wind was so high that
the tents could not be put up, and
there was no show.

The First Yard Election.

When the Republican intimates that
the ''slums Of Water street" controlled
the school election Ia First ward, on
Saturday II utters All Insinuation entirely
unwarranted by the facts OF the case.
The election, 50 far as the ward is con-
cerned, was one of the quietest and most
respt ctable ever held. The best men OF the
ward. Democrats and Republicans voted
for Messrs. Palmer and Kyne aud though
a member of respectable citizens voted
for Msssrs, Hallam and Brick, IL ;sa
fact susceptible of positive proof that
several illegal ballots were cast for these
gentlemen. Another fact for the Re
publican to reflect upon is that during
the afternoon but one drunken man was
around the polls, and he was a Republi-
can, well-known party worker OF the
ward who advocated the merits of the
opposition ticket in a vigorous but
maudlin and disgusting manner. In
fact the whole conduct OF the opposition
movement in the First ward was any
thing but creditable 10 the persons who
engineered IL and quitting one con-
sideration with another" The Republican
will find that its"lot II not happy one"
If IL attempts to throw discredit upon
the seccessiul candidates. The names Of a
number of illegal Republican voters at
the FIRST ward polls can be given to the
"Republican" if 1t desires TO publish
them.
