The "sons of toil'' who have organized,
what they would like to have thought an
independent" movement in the interest of
Mayor Deering appear to have some feeling
regarding the PRESS We should think we
had failed in duty If that crowd showed any
love for us. We have not been studying
politics and politicians for twenty-five years
in order to be fooled by sham movement
of this sort. For men who are in truth in
dependent, and for real working men, we
have respect and cordial sympathy. But for
hack politicians who put on any disguise for
pay, for party strikers who set up as re-
formers just previous to an election, and are
beggars for share of the ssspoils' immed-
lately afterwards, for professional Democrats
who make corner stones of the soreheads that
join their party for the sake of Office, for
anybody who pretends to believe that John
W. Deering is foe to any ring he can get
into, we have little respect. And, of course,
we have no respect for the handful of pre-
tenders, who, because they think Mayor
Deering will be reelected, are trying to es-
tablish claim for share Of the favors he
will have to distribute by appearing to have
influence with number of voters who are
by nature and inclination the prey of dem
agogues. Any working man who does
not know that the Democratic party in the
past was the champion of the slave power,
and the foe Of free labor, that it is to-day the
ally of oppression in the South, and of free
trade and the rum power in the North,
is ignorant of history and Of current
events

The resolution of coincidence over the
death of Herr Lasker which the House of
Representatives adopted on motion of Mr..
Ochiltree vas not directed to the German
Chancellor ner to the German ministry, but
to the German parliament or Reichstag. 1t
was sent to the American minister at Ber-
lin and by him delivered to the foreign Of
fee to be transmitted to the Reichstag.
Bismarck must have intercepted it in the
foreign Office. In country where par
liamentary government is anything more
than mere form; the suppression of docu-
ment addressed to the legislative body by
one of the ministers would raise storm OF
indignation; but Germany is accustomed to
such despotic acts by her chancellor, and
the protest of the Reehstag, if it makes any,
will be very feeble one. Whether Bis
marck's act is iustigated simply by personal
hatred of Lasker, or is the result of dislike
of Lasker and of the United States as we'll.
does not yet appear.

In 1880, the vote of Portland was as fol-
lows: For Garfield, 1886; for Hancock,
1874; scattering, 90; total, 1902; Republl-
can majority. $40. In 1882. the vote was, for
Robbie. 3,31S; Piasted, 3,073; scattering, 6s;
total, $3.50; Republican majority. III. In
1888, the vo was, for Beering, 2,745; for
Libby, 2,494: scattering, SO; total, 5,272;
behring's majority, 21s. The total vote OF
last year was 5000 less than the total vote
in the presidential election, and 1,l87 less
than the total in the State election the year
before. 1t is good year for citizens who
want good government TO exercise their
privilege of voting Mayor Deering can De
beaten overwhelmingly by full vote OF
those Who dis pproye of his administration.
The number of these is not confined to the
ranks of the Republican party. Opposed to
him is an upright, capable man, who will
honor the Office and respect the rights Of all

The Boston Post points out that before
Gov. Rnbie's term of Office expires he will
have appointed every member of the Su
preme bench. He has SO far appointed John
A. Peters chief justice; reappointed Charles
w. Walton associate justice; and appointed
L. A. Emery, Artemus Libbey, Enoch Fos-
ter and William l.. Putnam associate JUS
tees. The terms of Judge Virgin and
Judge Danforth expire Def re the conclu-
sion of Gov. Robie's term, SO that the ap-
pointment of their successors will devolve
upon him. The terms of all the judges who
have been appointed by GOV. Robbie will ex-
pire in 1890 and 1891. These years mark
the concluding year of one gubernatorial
term and the beginning Of another, SO that,
supposing all the judges to serve out their
full term, the reconstruction of the Supreme
Court in 1890 and 1891 will not necessarily
fall to the lot of one man.

Not much seems to he known about Com
mander Schley, who has been selected to
command the Greedy relief expedition, ex-
cepting that for few months past he has
been on duty in the bureau of equipment
and recruiting in the navy department, and
before that was on lighthouse inspection
duty, and that he has not been sick for al
most thirty years. The last point is strong
one in his favor, for the work he is to en-
gage in requires strong body. He has had
no experience in Arctic cruising, and this is
unfortunate.

The Democratic caucuses will be held to-
morrow night. Inasmuch as there is no
possibility of getting rid of Mayor Deering
as candidate, we presume he will be nom
mated by reclamation in the caucuses. The
only thing reserved for the convention TO do
is to select candidates for the school COM
u1ittee.

The delegation of Manitobans which
went to Ottawa to ask the government to
redress the grievances of their people has re-
turned home very much incensed. The OF
tawa government paid no attention to their
complaints and promised nothing. The SEN
timent at Winnipeg is now in favor of Sc
cession from the Dominion.

The reception which Gen. Gordon met
with in Khartoum shows that the presti &c
OF hi, name is still powerful among the
tribes of the Soudan. Although he came
without troops the people seem to have be-
lieved that their safety was assured the mo-
ment he stepped into the town. They
crowded around him, kissed his hand, and
hailed him Sultan of Soudan. Probably the
joy of the English ministry too, was as great
over Gen. Gordon's arrival as that of the
people of Khartoum

The trial of Santore at Bangor ended yes
terday in verdict Of murder in the firsl de-
gree. Capone, his confederate, will I'M
doubtedly be convicted of the same crime.
Capone's trial will dispose of all The murder
indictments pending in our courts, except
that against Mrs. Blaney. If Capone is
convicted, there will have been within year
i've convictions 10 this State for murder in
the first degree and four for manslaughter.
1t is to be hoped that many years will elapse
before this record is duplicated.

The Lewiston Journal is informed that
Gov. Robe did not appoint Mr.. Putnam

fairly. He deserves the active and earnest
support of all good citizens.

The first filibustering of the session took
place in the House Monday. The occasion
was the attempt to fix date for the consid-
Grafton of Mr.. Hewitt's bill which provides
Tor the pensioning of all survivors who
served sixty days in the Mexican war or
served thirty days in the Creek, Seminole or
Blackhawk disturbances. 1t is estimated
that this bill. if passed, would take $780,
100000 from the treasury. The Republicans
were willing to allow The bill 10 be assigned
for consideration, provided 1t was amended
30 as to apply to survivors of the Mexican
war only, but they clearly saw that the other
provisions of the bill were simply a subter-
fuge to get upon the pension rolls lot of
ex-Confederates who had never been wound-
ed or disabled in the service of their coun-
try, and rightly resolved to defeat them, if
possible. As rule, fiibustering to defeat
the majority is not defensible, but there
are occasions when it is the only resource to
prevent the commission of great wrong.
This was one of those occasions. If the
country can afford to expend any more mon
ey in pensions it ought to spend it on the
men who preserved the nation and not upon
those who did all in their power to destroy

How the Republican Convention
 Went 10 Tombstone.

The Epitaph this morning, speak ing of ihe matter of the calling of the Republican convention for Tombstone says:
 An Epitaph reporter called on MT. Street, who cheerfully furnished the following information: He stated that up to the tune of calling the convention (August D there were but seventeen replies from the Ter ritnrial committee compos~d of 29 members, and only two had since been received, which would not change the result. The vote stood Tom bstone. 6; Phoenix, 5; Tucson, 4; Prescott, 1; St. Johns 1. The secretary said be did not feel at lib- ity tc furnish the repolttr the names If voters, and how each one voted, even if he could do so, as it would be only guess work, for in some in- stances no names were signed and he uld but surmisc from whom the votes came. This surely ought to be sati factory to the Repubncan brethren of the north.

FROM the Fl. Worth Gazette we learn that warrant has been issued for the arrest. of the governor of Texas.

The complainant, Emil Francois. pure white, was convict> ed under the anti-niisCegenation statute of Texa>, and on pardoniug him the govei nor withheld his right to exercise th full privileges of citizenship. The state statute it seems provides for the punishment of a white person only. Francois is Of African extraction. but white, and married a woman of the same extraction.
