SOLON CHASE.
He Denounces Fusion and Exposes the
Recent Trade.
[From Chase's ENQUIRER April 22.1

From Chase's Enquirer April 22.l
The Greenback State convention has been
called at Bangor, June 1. 1t came about in
this wise: A meeting of the State committee
and representative Greenbackers was called at
Portland, Friday, April 10th, and it was voted,
almost unanimously, to hold the convention
on the Goth of May; but the chairman of the
Democratic committee and prominent Demo-
Gratis appeared with strange request that the
Greenbackers change the date of their conven-
ton to June l, the time the Democratic con-
vention was called; that is, hang the Green
back convention on one end of the wires at
Bangor, and han G the Democratic convention
on the other end of the wires at Portland, so
as to cline drives" by lightning.
The wonder is that such proposition should
be made, but the greater wonder is that it
should be entertained for moment. But the
chairman of the Democratic State committee
told me, with his own mouth, if we did not
hold our convention on the same day of theirs,
the Democrats would run straight ticket.
This threat seemed to be an eeye-opener to the
Greenback members of the State committee,
and they allowed the chairman of the Demo-
cratic State committee to fix the time of hold
ing the convention. Greenbaclers of Maine
the Democratic committee have dictated tn Q
time of holding the Greenback convention so
as to harmonic the Democratic party.
Have we not enough to do to harmonic our
own party, without disorganizing ourselves by
trying to promote peace and harmony in the
Democratic party? The programme now is to
hold fusion county and Congressional conven-
tions,, not only at the same time but at the
same places. My friends and brothers, if you
don't now take the fusion bull by the horns,
your labor for the Greenback cause for the last
five years is lost. If the Bourbon Democracy
had any sense they would see the course they
have marked out is death to both the Green
back and Democratic parties.
The Republican party, with all their SINS
have got some wit. The things they don't
want they make the Democrats believe they
do want. They want to see fusion tried on,
but they pretend to want the Greenbackers
and Democrats to pull apart. The Democrats
assuming the pretence to be the true inward
ness of the Republican party, innocently, per-
haps, think they are opposing the wishes of
the leaders of the Republican party when they
favor fusion. In this way the Republican
party, for the last twenty years, has drawn the
Democrats into just such positions as they
wanted them to assume.
Brother Greenbackers of Maine, the Demo-
cratic or Greenback party must die. Will you
murder your own child, or will you let the
Democratic party severely alone, and let it die
natural death.

TEMPERANCE LOVE FEAST.
Remarks for and against the Agency.

Remarks for and against the Agency.
Congress Hall was crowded last ayonins ali
the temperance love feast held under the aus
pices of the Temperance Union. The stage
was occupied by reformed men.
Mr.. Murphy presided and called upon ex-
Mayor Kingsbury as first speaker.
Mayor Kingsbury said they had met to con-
graduate themselves on the triumph they had
achieved in the cause of temperance. When
Mayor Senter was inaugurated he told the
speaker he intended the police should enforce
the liquor law. The police have enforced it,
and now, with the aid of the sheriffs, there is
not an open bar in Portland. Saturday night
there were fourteen drunkards in the station
Where did they get their liquor? 1t must have
been at the liquor agency. Now, said he, if
this is to be the result of labors, Shall be-
lieve in the closing of the agency. From 23O
p. m. to 4 p M, there were 107 persons visited
the agency.
Mr.. Mitchell Of Yarmouth followed. He
called the city liquor agency low GROCERY a
digraceful rum shop. The sales there have
trebed during the last week. 1t should be
closed.
Mr.. Wentworth of Portland said that in
spite of the efforts of our officers all the grog
shops in Portland are not closed. Last night /
saw six young men drunk. 1t is said they got
their rum at the agency. The agency is foul
disgrace to the city. The scene at that pest
house last night is black stain upon the city's
escutcheon.
Mr.. Merry said he did not believe the four
teen drunken men who were put into the sta
ton last night got their liquor from the
oh
land which are not yet closed.
Mr.. Choate said Mr.. Leach had simply per-
formed his duty The statement that the
agency was not closed at $50 was not true

ALMOST A RIOT.
The Officers Called Upon to Protect the
Liquor Agency.

About o'clock Saturday night while Mr..
A. O. Leach, the agent, was filling orders at the
the Liquor Agency,a large number of notorious
roughs from Gorhams Corner, Dog Alley and
other like neighborhoods, crowded into the
room and demanded liquors. Mr.. Leach stated
it was o'clock, that his work was completed
and that no liquors could be procured. The
crowd refusing to depart Mr. Leach notified
Depaty Marshal Crowell at the station, and
that officer, with Deputy Marshal Black and
the O'Clock class, who were just going out,
promptly appeared on the scene. Deputy Sher-
iii Ring aided the police in dispensing the
crowd. He says that when he entered the
agency he found lot of people with jugs and
bottles fastening to get them filled and that
three men were b1sily engaged filling the
orders. lie told Mr.. Leach he thought he was
not conducting the agency right and demand
ed that he should stop.
The officers consider this was put-up job on
the part of the roughs (who, by the vigilant
action of both sheriffs, deputies and police,
have closed their habitual places of resort on
Saturday night in order to reflect discredit
on the agency. Mr.. Ring does not think it
was put-up job, but that these roughs, having
been deprived Of their usual resorts, thought
that they would go to the agency and get it
there, if they could, and happened to meet
there.
Mr.. Leach states he has been very careful
not to sell liquors to any one unless satisfied
they were for the purposes permitted by law,
and those who formerly went elsewhere
for their stimulant failing to procure it now
have applied to the agency without sue
cess, determined to injure Mr.. Leach if they
could. A great proportion of the crowd
present Saturday night, were composed of the
curious who, seeing the police rush to the
building, Immediately joined Them to see what
was going on.
