Congregational church in Gorham, having
been previously, for a short time, principal of

accompanied with sincere sympathy for his

No one who was present could help being
delighted with the concert and reading given
as advertised Friday evening, in the Congrega-
tional church in this village in aid of the new
Methodist Episcopal church. Portland and
other places sent large delegations.
The programme was excellently carried
out. Paine's Quartette and other local
talent acquitted themselves very credita-

Enthusiastically received and was encored over
again. She is acknowledged to be the best reader

At the close of the concert the audience re-
paired to Hardings Hall and were served with

skill of the good ladies of the Methodist

Relief for Ireland.
The Democratic Resolution.

10 the Editor Of the Press:
The Argus of Saturday noticed editorially
and by communication the resolution adopt
ed Thursday evening by the Young Mems
Democratic Club, imputiDg by insinuation
that the club was debating to the wards their
duties in the nominations for municipal Of
fcers. 1t may be true as the correspondent
says that the Democrats understand what is
for their interest and will not be influenced by
any 'self-constituted organizations" but it is
equally true that there are left in the ranks of
the party few who wish to preserve what lit
tie self-respect they have left, and who are
more willing to suffer honorable defeat under
true colors than win victory by the help of
an element that has brought with it nothing
to the Democratic party but disgrace and we'll
merited contempt The constitution of the
Y. M. D. Club declares emphatically against
utilization with any other party for political
ends; and the resolution adopted simply
showed to the public that the desire of the
club was to see the Democratic party freed
from the incumbus of greenbackism. 1t is
time that party interest should be exercised on
the side of principle, and that policy for tenn
porary success should give way to future well
fare. Those who now oppose utilization are
asserting their manliness and honesty of pur-
pose while they who toady to the greenback
element, deserving their principles for policy's
sake are unworthy the name of Democrats.
The club which passed the resolution which
"has caused some comment" may be a ''self-
constituted organization" but it has enrolled
on its membership list the names of men
whose opinions on the questions of the day are
worth something and whose influence is
mighty. A Young DEMOCRAT.

THE eREENBAcK CONVENTION.
Frederick Fox Nominated for Mayor.

The Greenback delegates to nominate
mayor met in the Greenback headquarters in
Fluent block Saturday evening. Mr.. Charles
Clifford was chosen chairman and A. H. Waite
secretary.
Frederick Fox was nominated, by rising
vote, for mayor.
John NJ Todd was in favor of public
meeting in City Hall to listen to vindication
of Garcelon and Council, and Representatives
Swan and Hartman.
Elliot King opposed this movement on the
ground that such meeting would arouse the
Republicans to action, while, by still hunt,
the Qre-nbackers could capture lots OF dissatis-
fed Republicans.
Mr.. Todd thought the Republicans would
get whipped this year because they couldn
get any help from abroad.
Mr.. Charles B. Nash favored the still hunt
and, as he thought there would he third
candidate in the field. the Greenbackers could
work up 500 majority in Portland.

ner committee to notify Mr.. Fox of his NOM
nation
On notifying him of his nomination, Mr..
Fox replied that he was neither politician nor
partisan, nor had any personal motives in de-
string to hold the office. His only ambition
was to see that done which in his judgment
was for the best interests of the city and coun-
try, and should he be elected he should endeav-
or to perform the duties of the office in accord
ance with that ambition. He appeared to be
pleased to learn that his nomination was
unanimous, and thought the combined efforts
of the tw o parties might succeed in at least
badly frightening the stalwarts.

Maine Failures.

The following failures were reported in this
State the past week:
Sanford Delano, liquors, &c., Thomaston, is
reported as offering his creditors 20 cents on
ST. The bulk of his Indebtedness is to Boston
creditors who are indignant at the circum-
stances attending the failure, claiming that it
is simply device for evading the payment of
just debts. The temperance laws of Maine do
not allow the creditors to bring suits for their
claims in the State courts, and they are thus
placed at the mercy of the debtor, and are
obliged to take what is offered them Or get
nothing.
A meeting of the Boston creditors of s. A.
Burpee, clothing and furnishing goods, Rock
land, was held last Monday. The liabilities
are about $4,000, with assets in stock estimate
at $3472. There is mortgage to his father.

good, but if it can be upset the creditors would

ed in insolvency.
