THE F0GG NOMINATION.
MECHANIC FALLS, May 81, 1880

To the Editors of The Gazette -
The second district Greenback Conven-
ton is past, and defeat forced upon the
party in this district. 7. NJ. Fogg is not
the choice OF the people, by hard labor and
caucus packing he has managed to get the
nomination run on the Dennis kearney
principle. We left the old parties in or
der u obtain a greater purity in poll
tics, but OF all the political conversions ev-
er held in Maine this was the most corrupt,
and my vote will be only one of one thous-
and Greenbackers in Androscoggin County
who win help defeat its nominee. Never
will the respectable element of the party
sustain such a man, and consider it sa-
cred duty to do all in my power TO defeat
Fogg. He has no claims on the party at all.
Last fall he worked against US 10 the best Of
his ability lighting fusion, as he said. Now he
is trying TO hug this same fusion, hoping
thereby to get their votes. 1 am heartily
ashamed ofthe whole proceedings ofthe con-
veution. Even the first act ofthe convention
cost the party a thousand votes, that is,
making Col. Blood, of Woodruff fame, the
chairman Of the convention, aud opine
that only man of such fame would have
accepted the position after his own city re-
fused to send him as delegate, but Sewell
Got, ''child like appointed him to repre-
sent Mexico, and Immediately he became q
Greaser. The people Of this place wanted

our district with honor, but would have

never. .... -..t 49,. s~.,g
He has always worked against the Green
back party, but never TO such effect as yes
terday. Defeat In the blacklist letters
stares him in the face. With Swan, or any
other good man victory was certain.
Now let the Democrats nominate good
man, and two thousand Greenbackers IN
this district win vote for him. call upon
every Greephacker Who loves his country,
to unite and defeat this Dennis Kearney
clique. We must do 1t some time or fall,
