In the Greenback convention local option
resolution will be offered and adopted. Plais
ted favors it.
Two Plaisted meetings were held at Music
Hall this evening and addressed by H. M.
Plaisted, Scion Chase Tom Plaisted and Rob-
inson of Peru. 1t is pretty we'll settled that
the nominee of the Greenback convention will
be I'll. M. Plaisted
The present opinion is that the Democrats
will nominate Bion Bradbury. Trouble has
arisen over the electors, the Democrats de-
handing three and Plaisted refusing to con-
code one. The Democrats are very angry in
consequence. AT II O'Clock the two State
committees were in session, but Plaisted was
stubborn and refused to make any kind of
pledge.
In an interview tonight with Scion Chase
he sale: -"I see no disposition to fuse with the
Democrats, but if fusion is in our convention /
shall fight it. We shall have no State issues,
no steal and not Democratic elector. Them
steers have got to pull straight"
Fogg says he shall fight Plaisted, and insists
on Sawyer.
Torrey of Bath is said to be for fusion and
willing to give the Greenbackers all. The
Cumberland Greenback delegates, as far as
seen, will not consent to give the Democrats
any third.
Cap'n Chase is very busy but not happy.
The Gieenbackers will not complete their
organization tonight.
ITO the Associated Press.l
BANGOR, May 31.-The Greenback and Dem.
ocratic conventions to assemble here tomorrow
promise to be very large and exciting, the
contest being whether the Democrat3shall ac-
cept the nominations of the Greehback con-
veution and adjourn without making a nomi-
nation OF their own. Opinions differ in regard
to this, though 1t seems most probable from
the kpresent state of feeling that there will
be separate nominations followed by unison
of effort to beat the Republicans in their cam
paign. The candidates for Governor before the
Greenback convention are Major Joseph L.
Smith, Gen. Harris M. Plaisted and P. A
Sawyer, with the probabilities strongly in
favor of Gen. Plaisted's nomination. An en-.
thusiastic meeting was held this evening il
| Music Hall by Gen. Plaisted's adherents, il
which the General made speech announcing
himself Greenbacker but giving no pledges
as to his policy. Should the Democrats make
separate nomination, as now seems quite
likely, Hon. Bion Bradbury will be the man
| and he will receive the nomination by accla
nation. He will make a speech from the flool
of the convention, placing himself on the hare
| money platform and denouncing fusion and the
| late conspiracy at Augusta.
Gen. Samuel j. Anderson has been selected
| as chairman of the Democratic convention ant
| Hon. John b. Foster as chairman of the
| Greenback convention.
Matters are in great confusion and nothing
can be told yet in regard to the platform.

THE TEXAS PACIFIC.

A SANDER Against Senator Blaine Re-
futed.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-Mr George who
charged in letter to the House committee on
Pacific railroads that the original land grant
to the Texas Pacific railroad was obtained by
bribery, has written the following letter:
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 26, $780,
Hon Hannibal Hdanlim, Senate Chamber,
Washington, ID: c..
Dear Sir-I am known to the country as the
responsible author of the charge that the Tex
as Pacific Railway Company resorted to brib-
cry to secure certain legislation. Some per-
sons, more anxious to injure your colleague,
Senator Blaine, that to investigate the facts of
the case, have intimated that his name was
mixed up in the affair and that he would be
injured by a searching inquiry. 1t is due to
truth and candor for me to say that no paper
in my possession and no facts within my
knowledge refer in the remotest degree, di-
rectly or indirectly, to Senator Blaine. No
mention OF his name, and no reference to him
can be found in any of the papers relating to
the Texas Pacific case. 1 am not political
supporter of Mr.. Blaine, do not know him per-
sonally, and have never spoken to him in my
life, but am unwilling that any injury shall
come to him from groundless inference
which l can so easily remove. have no other
motive than that of truth and justice for writ.
ing this letter and address it to you as the
well-known friepd of your colleague, leaving
it to your discretion to make any use of it you
may choose.
am, sir,
Respectfully your obedient servant,
(Signed) JAS. A. GEORGE.
This letter disposes completely of the insin-
uations by the New York Times and some 9TH
er papers that MIR. George had documents COM
promising Mr.. Blaine and shows conclusively
that the charges were made without particle
of proof

The German Church Bill.

The German Church Bill.
LONDON, May 31.-In vote of the German
Diet by which the church bill was referred to
commission, the majority consisted of con-
servatives, clericals, small minority of the
right wing, and national Liberals.
The two days discussions in the lower House
of the Prussian diet on the church bill has
clearly brought out two facts, namely, that
every single section desires settlement of the
Kulter-Kampf, and also that not one of them
entirely approves the bill in its present form.
A Political Quarrel in Paris.
The Paris municipality in retaliation for
decree annulling a vote of censure passed upon
Andrew, the project of police, has made a
fresh attempt to get control of the police. Six
members of the municipal council submitted a
motion refusing to pass the police expenditure
item of the budget until the force is under
municipal control. The proposal was referred
to committee. . The proposal will be dead
letter, the government having the power of
reinserting in the municipal budget any item
Illegally eliminated.
No Subsidies for Swiss Churches.
The great Council of Geneva has adopted

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 31.-Turkish news
