an earnest, active Republican, and deserves
the vote of every member of the party. There

A Member OF the Democratic County
Committee Resigns.
PORTLAND, Feb. 9th, 1882
BENZ. F. Andrews, Esq, Secretary Of the old
County Committee:
Dear Sir-Your favor of the 7th inst. noti-
flying me of the proposed meeting of the new
Democratic County Committee, for the pur-
pose of organization, to be held at the Preble
House, Wednesday, 18th inst, is at hand. Be-
lieving that the Democratic party of Maine
has practically ceased to exist as an indepen'
dent political organization, hereby respect
fully tender my resignation as member OF
said committee. L have no heart or sympathy
with the Fusion movement with which the
Democratic party has of late been so closely
identified. I abhor the financial theories OF
the Grsenback party. So long as the Demo
cratic party allies itself in any manner with
the Grsenback party, in my judgment ruin
and defeat will be its only rewards. Holding
these views am constrained to believe that
nv services as a member Of the county COM
mittee can be Of no benefit to the party, and
that cannot honorably continue longer to re-
main on the committee.
Very respectfully yours,
E. S. RIDL0N.
