ances it will be lively gathering. The distribu.
ton OF the offices has been u grievous one for
the wise men of the party and several ex-
pioslons may be looked for. The meeting of
Chairman Brown, Mr.. Bass and Mr.. Bunker
around the council fire will De one of the
features of the meeting. Last evening l..
NJ. Staples, Esq, of Washington, had ar.
rived in the city; and several of the faithful
who have axes 10 grind, among them being
E. c. Moody Of York. Several points were
cleaned from these,
"We have come here for purpose" said
one. 1--WE shall not bolster up Piilsburv
and Chase. They must stand on their own
ground and fight their own battles"
"How about the State couvention?" was
asked
"That will probably be held about the 18th
of June in this city, although there is quite
a pressure to have it held in Portland. Il,
will meet in one of these two cities When
we meet We shall pass some iron-clad reso-
lulion' and show Mr.. Cleveland that there is
a democratic party in Maine and one which
has mind of its own and can tie up its own
shoes"
What do you know relative to the internal
revenue collectorship?"
Chase, of course. is OUT" was the reply.
The President will wait until after the Sem
ate adJourns, when he will appoint another
man. Among the swarm Of candidates is
hr. Thomas Murphy of Augusta. He de-
mands recognition on the ground of civil ser
vice reform and thinks he ought to be pro-
NOTED. George w. Berry of Rockland is
one OF the most active candidates. He has
letters from several members of the State
committee and is developing considerable
strength. Alfred Lennox of Wiscasset has
the support Of majority of the State com
mittee."
''Who will be the mex, democratic cand-
date for Governor?" we inquired.
THE candidacy will be given to Bill
Putnam of Portland, if he will take it. Sam
uel Bryant of Rocklsnd, IS developing con-
siderable strength. He is solid with the
working class and at this critical reriod this
is no small matter think he will be nom
mated You see it would not do now to
nominate lawyer. Judge Redman will not
run again"
Nv III there be any reorganization of the
committee tomorrow"
mo. There may BE-, however. an at
tempt from a certain quarter to GUST Chair.
| H.,
What are Charles Morton's chances tor a
PLUMP"
Charlie will not even get a straw berry
| He is a light weight and his course has
been such that he disguised even his own
party. Had he when he found the postoffice
plum would not drop for him retired grace
fully, instead of trying to cut down the tree,
he would have had his reward But he was
too pig-healed tor that and is DOW out in the
cold
