Maine Democrats.

LEWISTON, Me-, June 27.-The dem
ocratic state committee met at noon,
with Geo, T. Emery, temporary chair
man. The temporary organization was
made permanent. Committees were
appointed, and then Harris M. Plaisted
was unanimously nominated for gov
ernor.
The committee reported platform
which was adopted. The first plank
denounces political assessments and
bossim in strong terms. Upon the
subject Of the tariff the following plank
was inserted and adopted with ap-
plause:
Resolved, That the right of the pro-
ducer and manufacturer to sell the
products Of their industries in the
dearest and buy what they cannot
proftably produce in the cheapest
market, is right which the govern
ment ought not to interfere with or
restrict, except so far as may be
necessary TO raise revenue for its own
support; and all such interference tends
to lessen the profits Of trade and the
wages of labor. The present tariff
whereby 81 800 600 surplus revenue is
annually exacted from the laboring
and producing classes, should be re-
duced so as to leave this money in the
pockets of the people where it belongs
and is most safe, and thus curtail reck-
less expenditure of a corrupt and
spendthrift congress, and remove the
oppressive load of unnecessary and ex-
cessive taxation which is crushing out
the life and subsistence of the people.
The 9TH resolution states that the
ship building interest of Maine has
sacrificed to the policy that has de-
strey ed commerce by shutting our
markets against the return freights and
made competition with lower taxed ma.
tions impossible. A heavy taxation
more than neutralizes the advantages
of our cheap lands and the intelli-
gence Of our artisans.
The 9th resolution says congress has
the power and is bound to establish and
maintain at all times a currency of
general credit, always convertible into
and equal in value TO specie, adapted TO
the wants of commerce.
The 7th resolution says that congress
is bound to protect the community
against the evils of debased coin and
against the greater evil of an exces-
sive issue OF paper money, and having
established United States demand
notes as such protection, TO
withdraw them now and substitute
bills of banking corporations, is to
change superior for an inferior cur
rency and to surrender the power con-
ferred on congress by the constitution.
The final resolution expressed con-
fdence in Gov. Plaisted.
The following nominations for con-
gressional candinates are made and ac-
cepted: Sam. ]. Anderson, 1st district;
Daniel IL. Theng, I'd district; Geo. w.
Ladd, Sd district; I. H. Murch, 4th dis
trict. The convention then adjourned.

FHE current year is one 10 be re-
memhered for its disastrous storms
and its casualties with loss of life. For
month past death from drowning
seems To have been epidemic, and
every day swells the list upon lake and
river. Whether the general electric
condition Of the atmosphere makes
men reckless. science does not reveal,
but the restlessneSs Of the public mind
and il unsettled condition il in marked
keeping wits the changeable and un-
certain elements, and would seem to
indicate that it was an effect from
cause. Not the less remarkable are
the large number Of suicides and muir
ders, without the usual inciting causes,
and characterized by more than COM
mon fiendishness. While we may not
fathom the mysteries of such condi-
ton, and speak of them as incidents
and accidents ana fatalities, yet after
all there may be some explanation to
these woful experiences. Whether ex-
planned or not, thoughtful people will
ponder upon the lessons day by day
received, and mark the year as one re-
markable in the calendar.

special Fa~ors to Banks

Complaint has been made that the
directors of some OF the national banks
of Richmond, Virginia, have been al
lowed by the comptroller of the cur
rency to take another oath in respect
to the rate of interest than that pre-
scribed by law, and that they have done
this III order to be able to charge usuri-
Gus interest, Senator Beck offered a
resolution, which was to-day adopted
by the senate, calling for copies of
these oaths taken by the directors of
the Richmond banks in 1879 and 1880;
and if it shall appear that the law has
actually been violated in their case, the
inquiry will naturally be pushed in
other directions, and cover other cities
and towns. 1t is asserted by some that
many of these banks have charged
more interest that Is allowed by the
state laws.

HubbelI in the Dumns.

Chairman Hubbell, of the republican
congressional committee, is in bad
state of mind over the prompt response
from the civil service reform associa-
ton to his open letter challenging Mr..
Curtis to bout in the courts over the
legality of the ? per cent. assessment
on scrubbing women and pages. The
original Curtis letter had an inspiring
effect among government employees.
Hubbelrs reply was intended merely
as an offset, and its boldness was de-
signed to overwhelm Mr.. Curtis and be
warning against further encroach-
ments upon the campaign committees
assumed prerogatives. The spirited
response, however, has rather taken
MIR. Hubbell's breath away; aud from
the chuck}ing mood into which his
blufing letter of Friday threw him he
has become sour and glum, and has
been going about scowlipg and refusing
to recognize acquaintances. 1t is not
dreamed that he will consent to be a
party to a test case in court.

Pennsylvania Democratic Convention.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June Ex-senator
Cox was subjected to considerable pres
sure to allow his name TO be used be-
fore the democratic convention. It is
said tonight he would accept the NOM
ination If rendered. This caused con-
siderable excitement among delegates,
particularly those who support Hop
kins and Pattison. 1t is claimed by
many that Cox viii be nominated on
the first ballot. This is not conceded
by the friends of Pattison, Hopkins
and dark horse candidates.
Many of these latter claim that the
nomination of Cox viii probably end
in calling another convention to fill his
place when forced off the ticket. or
would entail lawsuit to test his eigi-
bility, as he admitted on the floor of
the senate in refusing certificates of
election as state senator, that he could
not conscientiously take the oath of
Office as he had expended money in
ways not authorized by the act allow
ing necessary expenditures in election
eering campaigns.
Cox's public admissions on the sub
ject would be ground enough for q
case against him If he was elected

Hubben and Rosecrans.

J. A. Hubbell, of Michigan, chair
man of the Republican congressional
campaign committee, and William
Rosecrans. chairman ofthe Democratic
congressional campaign committee, are
both prominently before the public at
present, though not for the same rea-
son. The former has stirred up the
civil service reformers by his vigorous
system of political assessments, while
the latter has been and is attracting a
good share of attention by contro-
versy relative TO himself and Garfield.
Both are members of congress, but are
so pressed with business preliminary
to the coming campaign that neither
tnds time to attend to legislative work,
and both, consequently, are but rarely
seen in the House. Mr.. Hubbell is ten
years the junior OF Rosecrans, and looks
1t. He is rather short in stature,
stocky in form, and has an air of robust
good health. He has dark hair, and
an almost white beard. He is now
serving his fifth consecutive term in
congress. Personally, Mr.. Hubbell is
not man who is very quick to gain
friends, being reserved in manner; but
his long service in congress has given
him wide circle of aeeuaintaces-
both political and social AS a debater
or pariiamentsrian he does not take
very high rank. He may be compared,
in this respect, to Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, who seems utterly unable
to address the Senate except in
a broken, colloquial way, and is yet
probably as thorough a master OF prac-
teal politics as there is in that body.
Hubbell was chairman of the republi-
can congressional campaign commit
tee, iu 1880, during the presidential
campaign.
Gen. Rosecrans has little in common
with Mr.. Hubbell, though, like him,
he is a fair speaker, and when he does
address the house he commands re-
spectful attention. The "hero Of
Chickamauga" is now nearly sixty
three years old, and the hardships of
war have weakened his materially strong
constitution, and he cannot move
about with his old-time activity. His
back is bent, and he walks with the as
sistance of cane. His hair and close
cropped beard are both white, though
his face has a ruddy and healthy COM
plexion. He has mis- office in private
residence on Indiana avenue. He
there spends most of his time in re-
ceiving visitors, of whom he has great
many, and debating letters to his nu-
merous correspondents. Unlike Mr..
Hubbell, he possesses a personal mag
netism and kindness of manner, which
at once win the confidence of strangers.
He is entirely unaffected in conversa-
ton and displays none of that naughty,
domineering disposition found in some
men who have occupied high positions
In natural sagacity and shrewdness he
is Hubbell's equal; what he could do
in the way of collecting campaign
funds from government employees, if
he had Hubbell's opportunities for
that kind of work, is rather uncertain.
Rosecrans is an enthusiastic partisan,
and if the democrats have any success
in the coming campaign, it will be
largely through his in5trumentality.
