At Augusta 1 was shown a private letter
from former leading young Irish Democrat,
in which he berated His Excelleney in severe
terms and the Democrats generally. He said
that he would not vote again for Plaisted. and
that he had had quite enough of that Democra-
cy which assumed that the Irish voters were
theirs. He remarked that after the Maine
election in 1880 the Democrats were SO sure of
success in the Presidential election, that the
leaders got together and parceled cut the Fed
eral offices, but forgot to give an Irish Ameri-
can place when they furnished half the DEM
ocratic votes in Portland.-Cor. Boston Tray

The Straight Greenback County Convention,
of Oxford County, will be held at Buckfeld
village, next Saturday, at 3 p. m. The Green
back County Convention, of Sagadahoc, will
also be held at City Hall, Bath Saturday.
While the Plaisted forces are hoping for Re-
publican divisions in the legislative districts,
Republicans seem inclined, conveniently, to
agree. But from sonse of the close districts, on
the contrary, come tidings of Fusion discords,
which, under the circumstances, are very de-
Drar 4Ia xuh 10 vox
directed to her close legislative districts. In
Princeton, Washington County, Fusion rep
resentative caucus was held, Saturday, result
ing in split, and it is said that two Fusion
candidates will be in the field.
Chas. A. Spofford, Esq. of Deer Isle, hav
ing declined to be candidate for County At
torney on the Fusion ticket, the committee
have chosen Luere B. Deasy, student in the
law office of Hale & Emery, to fill that posi-
tion on the ticket. Mr. Deasy is son of Capt.
Daniel Deasy of Gouldsboro, and we are in
bar until year from this fall.-Ellsworth AM

Meetings and discussions are well, but the
coming victory must be won by getting out the
voters. Organize and do not allow apathy or
over-contidence to betray Republican success.
Too much is at stake, both in State and nation.
There is feeling of confidence among the
Republicans that the Fusionists lack. Repub-
licans, however, should not relax their work
in the least, but labor to roll up good old
fashioned Maine majority for the Republican
ticket, state and national.
See that every Republican voter who is away
from home, gets in his ballot on the 11th of
September. Confidence should not imperil-
the result. Every Republican voter should
feel it an imperative duty to vote and see that
every other opponent of the Fusion regime
votes also.
The Boston Journal correspondent has it
from one inside the fusion circle, that $1.C00 Of
the fusion canvass fund has been turned over
to assist the candidacy of Mr.. Vinton A
prominent Democrat in Knox county informs
us that, in his Judgment, the small support
which this ticket will receive, will be drawn
mainly from those Democrats who dislike fus-
ion. He says he knows of two Democrats who
would have voted for Plaistsd, who will now
vote for VIntoR. Obviously our fusion friends,
who seem to be the chief advocates of the lin
dependent ticket, are likely to find this des-
perate game losing one.
The size of the crowd at the great Republi-
can meeting at Maranocook, may be judged
by the amount of food served. The cooking
was done wholly by steam heat. Fifty pots of
beans were roasted on hot stoves the night be-
fore. Six hundred pounds of fresh pork ribs
were baked in the cavernous ovens, and $50
pounds of roasted OK were devoured. A quar-
ter of a ton of corn beef, 200 lbs. of ham and
200 lbs. beef tongue were boiled. Two hun
dred gallons of fish chowder were made. Three
thousand ears of sweet corn and four barrels
sweet potatoes were consumed. In addition | 0
these victuals, $500 rolls, $50 loaves and 900
pies were served. Two bundled quarts OF ice
cream were distributed.
The Bath Times says that Andrew jackson,
Esq. of Bath, has declined the Republican
nomination of Register of Deeds for Sagada-
hoe, because he learns that his nomination is
the ground for an independent convention to
nominate another county ticket; and he wiz
not consent to occupy position which may
cause division in the Republican ranks. The
Republican county committee have filed the
vacancy with the name of George W. Hunt,
of Phipsburg, who received all the votes cast
in the county convention against Mr.. jackson.
