The friends of P. A. Sawyer, candidate for
Fusion nomination for Governor, should not
lose the opportunity to popularize him which
the testimony before the Hale committee
gives them. Fogg's part in the count out has
secured for him a nomination for Congress.
Mr.. Sawyer has only to show that he was an
dept at trickery to bear off the gubernatorial
nomination. The following extract from the
testimony of S. J. Gallagher before the Hale
committee we predict, will greatly accelerate

Fine Webbing.

We notice in the window of Ponce's store,
two rolls of elastic webbing, said to be the first
goods OF the kind ever manufactured in Maine.
They were woven upon one of the looms now
on exhibition at the shoe factory of A. F. Cox
&lSon on Union street, where other looms are
weaving silk ribbon and lamp-wicking. These
looms are running most admirably, and many
ladies and gentlemen have visited the factory
to witness their operation. There is an excel
lent prospect that mandatory will be estab-
lished here for the production of some varieties
OF narrow fabrics, for which there is an unlim-
tied demand and ready sales at a handsome
profit.

Last evening the delegates met at headquar-
tiers to choose delegate at large. c. E. Cliff
| ford, Esq. was elected chairman, and R. NJ
| Springer, of the New Era-Leader, secretary
| The roll was called and vacancies filled
| When the name of Gore B. Chapman, in ward
seven, was called, Mr.. Ebe1f H. Armstrong
arose and said he was chosen to fill the vacan-
cy. To this statement a counter was made
that j. f. Turner fill the position. Mr.. Arm
| strong said he was secretary of the caucus and
that majority of the ward delegation request
ed him to fill the place. A motion was made
| to poll the house as to which should serve,
when suggestion was made that it was none
| of the conventions business but that of the
ward. Finally the ward delegation was re-
quested to retire and select their man land they
returned the name of Eben H. Armstrong.
| Then Mr.. Armstrong moved that they bal
lot for delegate at large, each man voting as
his name was called, and the motion was car
ried. A committee was appointed to receive,
sort and count votes They reported 26 votes
out of % delegates. OF these, j. f. Turner
had II, Elliot King Z, scattering 2.
| Mr.. Armstrong then moved that an informal
ballot be taken to get the sense of the meeting
as to whom the committee would support for
member of he State committee from this
county Col. R. NJ Springer moved the mo-
ton out of order. The chair supported him.
Then a sort of half appeal from the ruling of
| the chair was taken, when Mr.. j. M. Todd
said he thought such a proceeding was too
much like the Republicans, who work in a
corner. For his part, he thought there were
| many men fitted for the place, who had not
been able to be present at the convention, and
such a man might be desirable. On the other
hand some ambitious fellow might have been
round begging the delegates to support him.
and thus careful action by the delegates might
be thwarted.
Here a member moved to adjourn, but an
other member said they had no right to adj
journ till the business of the meeting was fin.
ished.
Col. Springer said he called Mr.. Armstrong;
motion out of order because extraneous to the
call of the meeting.
Mr. Armstrong said he had effected the pur-
pose for which he offered the motion and would
withdraw it.
