Romance of the Comstock Lode.

(San Francisco correspondence Chicago Tribune)
If it is true that the Comstock has 'petered"
at last what moral its history has been! How
it has made and unmade men, what colossal
fortunes have been built in a month, and how
soon have they been dissipated. Senator Sha-
ron, who was sent to Virginia City by Ralston
as the agent of the bank of California, got the
nucleus of his fortune in few months, and is
now among the richest men in the nation, his
wealth being estimated all the way from $10,-
100000 to S25,000,00O. Mackay was car-man
in Ophir at $4 day; then he went to work in
Bullion as foreman, and then in Kentuck. One
day as he, with number of others came off
shift, j. NJ. Walker who was superintendent

for the purpose of nominating candidate for Gov
ernor to be supported at the September election,
and two candidates for Electors of President and
Vice President of the United States and to trans
act any other business that may properly come be-
ore the Convention.
The basis of representation will be as follows:
Each cith, town and plantation will be entitled to
delegate and for every seventy-tive votes cast
for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1879
additional delegate, and fraction of forty votes
in excess of seventyfve will be accorded delegate.
The State Committee will be in session in the
ante-room of the Hall at O'Clock, on the morning
delegates.
For the first time in the history of Maine the at
tempt was made in 1879 to deprive the people of
the right to choose their officers, and to cor
ruptly continue in power those whom the people
had rejected. The authors, abettors and accom-
pices in this crime against free government are
now seeking to come before the people under some
new party name-availing themselves of an alias,
the common resort of those who seek to escape the
responsibility and punishment of their crimes
Against these men, under whatever name they
may appear, all those citizens who condemn the
nefarious plot to destroy the right of suffrage,
invited to unite without regard to past party afli-
atons, to preserve honest Government for the hon
est people of Maine.

Boston Herald: Bion Bradbury, who op-

fully showed his followers at a later hour
how to work for the representatives of the
soft-money ideas he professed to hate, and,
while preserving his personal rcpute as a
hard-money man, really put victory within
the grasp of his enemies. 1t is not an idea
that the Maine Democrats fight for this
year. 1t is success.

The Double-Headed Monster

The action taken by the Democratic Con-
vention at Bangor was bitter disappoint-
ment to those Democrats who hate fusion
and its works, but a surprise to no one else
1t was foregone conclusion. The men
who carried through the combination last
year are under bonds to continue the un-
principled alliance. They cannot afford to
confess to error. That would be abdication
and an acknowledgment that the policy of
fusion was foolish and mischievous. They
prefer to put their political fortunes at stake
hoping to find justification in success.
The better portion of the party must be
profoundly disgusted at the shameful bar
gain. But there is little reason to believe
that the disgust will lead to an organized
revolt. There may be nomination from
the floor. There will certainly be large
scattering vote; and it is quite probable that
many Democrats, called upon to choose be-
tween two Republicans, will prefer man of
honor and consistency to one who has been
unweariedly intriguing for the nomination
and has made himself all things to all men
in order to win his point.
Dissatisfaction will not be confined to the
Democratic ranks. The price the Green
hackers must pay for the alliance is a vote
for Tilden electors, for leading representa-
tive of that Money-Power they profess to
abhor. They must aid in the election of a
Democratic President in return for few Of
fees in the State of Maine. That is what
they ale required to do. 1t is a price many
of them will refuse to pay. The leaders of
both wings of the combination will discover,
what last years lesson would teach them,
were they not too stupid to learn, that the

judge halls from Michigan. He
wears spectacles, and, according to
his statement last night, has for many
years been a leading member of the
Memphis bar. His style of oratory is
to be admired. His favorite express

The last phrases were understood how

audience, who, whenever the Judge

balance. Judge Bigelow said, among
other things, that he was one of the
original founders of the republican
party. In his state of Michigan since
1851, nary a democrat has held office,
and he hoped to God none ever would
again. He styled Judge J. W. Clapp
as an old fossil rebel. and
declared he should be harnessed
with JEFF Davis as the
pair would make a splendid
double team. The judge was very
solicitous that the colored voters of
Shelby county should vote the repub-
lican ticket from top to BOTTOM at
the forthcoming election. (Judge
Biglow's name is at the bottom Of said
ticket.)
Ed. Shaw, the nominee of the party
for sheriff, followed in one of his
harangues, and in turn was followed
by other speakers of lesser note. The
meeting cannot be said to have been
enthusiastic. The. republican cause
is on the wane in Shelby county.

Superior OmciaIs,

So far Judge Horrigan has held
himself entirely aloof from the usual
political scramble Office holders and
ofice-seekers usually engage in with a
view Of advancing their political pros
poets and securing votes. The judge
occupies a digniied reserve, and it is
understood has no idea of attending a
single political meeting during the
local canvass. Chancellor Mcdowell
likewise stands back and quietly views
the action of parties from a distance.
and he declines to become a partici-
pant in the political middle. Such
officers adorn the positions they SO
ably fill and are worthy Of the popular
confidence repOsed in them. The peo-
pie are sure to endorse both, by a large
majority.
