Hancock County Democrats.

The democrats of Hancock county
have evidently been marked by melan-
cholv. General dissatisfaction pervades
their ranks. In strong English, such as
the Yankee likes to use, their backs are
up, and they "don't care whether school
keeps or not" Several contagious and
epidemic diseases are prevalent among
them. At Bucksport the democracy is
afflicted with the appointment of a dep
uty collector who has marched in re-
publican professions and Illuminated
his house at republican victories. AT
Sullivan the democrats are sore over
the appointment of a Hancock man to
the office Of deputy collector at Mount
Desert Ferry. and manifest symptoms
Of a feeling that they have been de-
ceived in the matter and unfairly treat
cd
Some democrats are disguised with
the do-nothing policy of the admins
tration relative to the Canadian fishery
questions. One hitherto active and
prominent democrat told us that he was
disguised. and that he wished Mr.. Blaine
was in Mr.. Cleveland's place. Said he.
Il think there are hundreds of demo-
Gratis in the county who are so dissat-
isfed with the administration, that if
they 90 to the polls at all, they will
vote for Mr.. Bodwell As for me,
do not think shall 20 TO the polls"
With other democrats the trouble i,
that some republicans are still holding
office. 4 few days ago we were talk
ing with democrat about the small
attendance at the recent democratic
convention Said he, II do not won-
der that democrats declined to attend.
We can read enough about civil service
reform. without going to conventions
TO hear it talked about -
Another remark which we have
heard from democrat, may be stated
il substance, as follows: "One of the
nominees of the Hancock democratic
convention keeps an open rum shot, and
the democrats of his own town will DO
all in their power to defeat him at the
polls"
These phases Of the democratic cam
paign are surface indication, which are
open 10 the inspection OF the world.
We have no doubt that they are rcla-
bic evidence Of internal fires and com
motions which are burning out and de-
siroyins the very life aud courage Of
the party in this county.

Bucksport Democrats.

N the largest Democratic caucus held in
Buekspori for many years, the following res
buttons we're adopted with but three dis
sentng votes
EesoIrei, Tina, Thoma. H. Swazey has
forfeited tie confidence and respect Of the
Democracy Of Bucksport and Verona for
forcing upon them man for deputy collect
Of against their united and earnest remon-
STRANGE.
Resoired. That Charles \. Spofford justly
merits the condemnation Of every Democrat
in this district by violating his promise to
the Democrats Of this locality that he would
not appoint any man as deputy collector
that was no, true and tried Democrat. or
who lacked the necessary qualification. to
strengthen and build up the Democratic
party.
Rssolred. Tha, the Democrats OF Buck
sport and Verona have ever been true 10 the
Democratic party and they challenge any
two towns IN the State TO show a better
record for zeal and fidelity. Though often
defeated they have never beea conquered
bu. are ALWAYS ready to renew the unequal
contest.
Resolred, Tbs, If a few designing men
are 10 dictate and control the offices of the
country, and ride rough shod over the great
masses Of the Democratic voters. then the
time and labor spent to bring abou, a change
in the administration Is but poorly reward
ed
hesolred, Tha, the pledge we have en-
ierea into IS not has'y one, but the result
Of a calm and unimpassioned consideration Of
The whole matter, feeling that We should be
unworthy fthe respect Ct every true Demo
crat if We quietly submitted TO the insult
and outrage put upon Us by the appoint
ment Of Joseph l.. Swazey to the custom
house.
Resoir,i, That Aonzo Colby is the first
choice Of the Democratic voters Of Buck
sport and Verona for deputy collector, be-
ievlng him to be qualified for the position.
Hesolred, That the foregoing resolutions
be published for distribution among the
Democratic voters

There is now good prospects that tie
Cutting affair will soon be amicably settled.
The Mexican government has proposed that
the United States send legal envoy to
Mexico to consult authorities in that coun-
try and fully investigate the whole affair.
After two hours discussion by the Cabinet.
it was unanimously agreed that the propo-
sition be accepted and representative sent
to the City Of Mexico as soon as possible.
There is considerable excitement in the
vicinity Of the Glen House, N. H., over the
attachment of the paper Among the
Clouds" Wednesday editor Burt had an en-
counter with the sheriff and was arrested
for resisting the officer. He is now under
heavy bonds to answer to two indictments.
Two persons were drowned at Keene,

A Delusion and a Snare.

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, one of the most
earnest and successful members of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, con-
tinues her opposition to prohibition as
party issue, and in recent speech at Lake
side, O., she said
81 am opposed to the prohibition party
because consider it a delnsion and snare,
and | think it great hindrance TO temper
ance work. The third party would hurt pro-
hibition work in Kansas and Iowa if there
was enough of it. The third party did
nothing to secure prohibition in Georgia.
The people down there don't believe 10 it.
The third party did not secure prohibition
in Iowa. The people did it. The third
party is doing prohibition more harm than
the adherents of high license"
