Plaisted and Plumber.

The Democratic party of Maine, which
has been in moribund condition for a
year or more, departed this life at Bangor
on Tuesday, June /, 1880 The Green
back party may be said to have expired
at the same time, for it had no voice and
received no recognition in the mongrel
conventions which assembled in Bangor
on that day to organize predatory raid
on the State treasury. The opposition to
the Republican party in this State now
consists simply Of the free lovers and
communists of the late Greenback party.
and Of the Democrats engaged in the
State steal-men without fixed principles
on any question and whose only object is
plumber. OF the choice of Plaisted as
their candidate for Governor it only need
be said that it shows due regard for the
fitness OF things. plaisted and plumber
will be the WatchWOrds of the Fusionists.
