THE GREENBACKERS.
Gen. Plaisted's Council of War at the
Preble House.

Yesterday afternoon the Greenbackers COM
menced to gather at the Preble House, Gener-
al Plaisted having decided to hold a council Of
war. Among the distinguished Greenbackers
who responded to the call may be named Col.
r. NJ. Springer, editor of the New Era-Lead-
err, the Railroad Edition Era-Leader and
the Sunday New Era, and President of the
Maine State Circle B. P. L.; ex-Deacon E. Fl.
Cove, of Biddeford; f. W. Hill alias Francis
w. Hill, Of Exeter; the Hon. Isaac 7. Hob
son alias the Hon. Isaac Hobson, of Wiscasset
(who wants to go to Congress); DR.. Dyer, of
Farmington Col. Emerson, of Auburn; Scion
Chase, Esq, of Chase's Mills; Hon. CharlesA.
White, of Gardiner; Messrs Frye, of Bethel,
A j. Chase, of Sebec, and others. Portland
was represented by Col. R. M. Springer, editor
of the New Era-Leader, the Railroad Edition
Era-Leader and the Sunday New Era, and
President of the Maine State Circle 3. P. L.,
who deserves to be mentioned twice as he was
supposed to represent this congressional dis
trict as councillor to Gen. Plaisted at large, J.
f. Turner, Spencer Rogers, the venerable
John M. Todd and Elliot King. Samuel A.
Berry, of Deering, attended as the represen-
tative of Cumberland County in general, while
3. F. Andrews, Esq, of this city, and John
+. Lynch, of Machias, lent to the meeting all
the Democratic element that it had.
Ex-Deacon E. II. Cove, of Biddeford, pre-
sided and several motions were considered 1t
was resolved to hold series of mass meetings
July 9th, when it is expected that crowd can
be got out at short notice. Speakers and place
will be very nearly as follows:
At Old Orchard, Gen. Plaisted, Gen. Weav-
er and Scion Chase.
Camden, Elliot King and Congressman
Murch.
Etna, Scion Chase and Gen. Weaver
Pennington, B. L. Smith, and possibly John
M. Todd.
Sebago, The Terrible Fogg and Col. r. M.
Springer, editor of the New Era-Leader, Rail-
road Edition Era-Leader and the Sunday New
Era, and President of the Maine State Circle
B. P. L.
There was sharp passage at arms between
Gen. Plaisted and Scion Chase. The general
rather got ahead of the proprietor of 'them
steers;" and when the venerable John M.
Todd joined Plaisted, Mr.. Chase was driven
from the field. Uncle Scion will have to fight,
or else take back seat.
The meeting, after full discussion of the
question of how money is to be raised for cam
paign work, and where new papers had best
be started, adjourned to July Sth unless sooner
called together by ex-Deacon Cove or Gen.

Seth L. Milliken, the nominee, was born in
Camden, and is about AZ years of age. He is a
self-made man. His early life was persist
ent and courageous struggle with adversely;
but he conquered. By his own unaided en-
deavors he fitted himself for college course,
and worked his way to liberal education,
graduating at Union College, New York. Be-
fore attaining his majority he was nominated
and chosen Representative to the Legislature,

years he was Clerk of Courts in Waldo county.

equals in the State, his efforts on the stump
and on the lecture platform being highly APP
preciated in this and other States, where his
services have been in demand in all the impor-

luxury, knows how to sympathize with those
who are struggling to make themselves of
some use in the world His ability and integ-

Republican principles will make themselves
felt in the ensuing contest; and the Republic

Rev. Dr. E. +. Cutter and Rev. B. G. Snow

strongly to the sympathies and charities of the

proposition to incorporate the resolve of
last year, which gave the Christian Mirror,
the Classical School, Bowdoin College and
bangor Seminary representation in the con-
ference, as an article in the constitution, was
indefinitely postponed.
Resolves instructing the officers of tie con-
ference to examine the matter of divorce, its
relations to the laws and the courts and to
report hereafter; relating to the promotion of
temperance among the young, and also APP
proving the use of unfermented liquor at the
communion table, were passed.
Rev w. Jewell representing the East
Methodist conference and Rev. Mr.. Tufts the
Baptist conference, presented the salutations
OF their denominations.
Rev. W. B. Brown, d. D., of New York ad-
yocated the claims of the Church Building
Society upon the Congregational churches,
quoting the statement of Rev. DR.. Alden that
all the aid given this society was almost \
direct contribution to the resources of the
American Board.
So much of the first hour of the session had
been squandered before beginning work. that
only three minutes extension could be
granted to DR.. Browns request for more time
although he had come on from New York by
invitation, also the important discussion as
signed to Rev. W. III. Fenn was omitted en-
tirely.
As such discourtesies have not been the
peculiar sins of the present session, the
moderator endeavoring to make the most of
the time, but have been of frequent occur
renee in past years, we must say that they de-
serve the severest censure, land never should be
repeated.
The last afternoon was devoted to the COM
munion service conducted by Rev. A. Blan-
chard and Rev. w. Fl. Fem, and at the close
the conference adjourned.
The next year it will be held with the Willis
ton church in Portland.
The floral decoration of the church, the sup
ply OF ice water, the neatly printed programme,
the singing of the choir, the evening concert
of the band, deserve special commendation.

Messrs. Loring, Woodbury. and others were

in Maine. 1t is queer democracy which will

The COunting-Out InnOcenls.

Though the counting out Innocents pro-
test loudly that they never dreamed of
stealing the State government, their rec
ord shows that they thought of it long be-
fore they tried it. In the fall of 1873 the
Maine Standard, Eben F. Pillsburys pa
per. declared that counting out Il majority
was feasible, and loudly accused the re-
publicans of having that purpose in view
with regard to the fusion majority then
elected to the Legislature. The plan of
counting out pursued by Garcelon and his
Council was then outlined by the STAN
dard, andhe charged that the republicans
were going to try it. A year later Pills
bury was leading his party in the very
way he had accused the republicans of in
tending to go.
The preparation of blanks before the
election designed to destroy the republi-
can majorities in the cities is an evil
dence that the conspiracy began early.
When the election was over and it had
been ascertained that the republicans had
majority in the legislature. the conspir-
ators with knowing wink and smile de-
clared that Davis would not be Governor
and limited al the counting out by the Coy
ernor and Council afterwards attempted
Some of the Council were not backward
in divulging that they were bent upon
cheating the republicans out of the cleo
ton, and made their boast of it, declaring

cess.
These precious Innocents only feel bad
because they were beaten. The crime
does not trouble them any. but the getting
found out and brought to public execra
ton is what they did not bargain for when
they began their wicked course.
