The Straight Greenback State Conven-
ton held at Bangor Tuesday had 166 dele
gates present, representing all parts Of
the State. An attempt was made to cap
ture the convention by Plaisted men. but
proved complete failure. The conven-
ton would neither nominate Plaisted nor
endorse his fight with the Executive Coun-
Gil. voting down both propositions by
large majorities. 1t adopted a straight
greenback platform and made straight
greenback nominations right through,
from Scion Chase for Governor to the last
man on the ticket for Congress. Fusion
with either of the Old parties was de-
nounced. The size of the convention was
much larger and its character OF higher
order than it was supposed they would be.
It looks as though the straight green
hackers mean business and will have
more influence in the State campaign than
they have been credited with.
