THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democrats at Biddeford yesterday,
sat down very hard upon the Knights of La
Dor. After coddling them for months, say
ing all sorts of sweet things to them, and
promising that their wishes should be treat
ed with great Difference, they gave their can
didate 80 votes out of possible I'll, and con-
ferred the great majority of the remainder
upon the Hon. William II. Clifford, lawyer
and a capitalist who never worked an hour
at manual labor in his life. 1t is not to be
wondered at that the knights who were wit
nesses of this variance between Democratic
promise and Democratic performance were
angry, and claimed that they had been
snubbed. They were right. They had been
snubbed. Mr.. Clifford was voted for simply
because he was the most available man to
kill off their candidate, Mr.. Hunkins. He
was not candidate and had frequently
refused to allow the use of his name, but he
held a good many drawing cards, such as
big barrel and glib tongue, and his name
was presented to keep the delegates away
from Mr.. Hnukins. The trick was success
full and instead of the laboriag man they an
ticipated the Knights got capitalist and a
lawyer, sort of combination that they are
supposed not to enjoy.
Mr.. Clifford is very respectable Demo-
cratic candidate, nothing more. nothing less.
In that character he can make a creditable
appearance. But if he undertakes to pose as
the especial friend Of the laboring man and
as the candidate Of the Knights of Labor he
is pretty certain to become the laughing stock
of the whole district. The Hon. John w.
Deering as the champion of prohibition
would not be half so funny.

M.ssrs n w Snurr & Co. of Ros,

Messrs. 81. w. Spur & Co., of Boston,
were put on trial in the municipal court of
that city Tuesday, on charge of adultera-
ting molasses with salts of tin. Chemists
called on both sides admitted the finding of
salts of tin in the samples of molasses fur
nished them, but there was difference of
opinion as to the probable affect of molasses
adulterated with this substance upon the
human system. There was no doubt, all ad-
mitted, of the poisonous properties of salts
of tin, but it was questioned whether the
amount used in adulterating molasses was
sufficient when distributed to produce any
appreciable effect One chemist expressed
the opinion that the tin after a little time
would settle to the bottom and be found in
the sugar and the use of that sugar in the
raw or made into candy would produce very
deleterious effects. 1t seems that the salts
of tins are used to clarity cheap molasses
and make it look like molasses of higher
grade. One chemist testified that he had ex-
perimented with the salts on cats and dogs
and the effect of its administration in every
case was to cause DEATH The hearing was
not concluded.

Lord Salisbury's policy as far as disclosed
contemplates the Cancellation of the Liberal
Unionists by refraining from reviving coer-
cion pure and simple and extending GER
tain amount of local self-government to Ire
land. The adoption of this plan was. how
ever, hardly matter of choice on the Prem
ier's part, for his ministry could not live a
day without more support than can be given
it by the Tories. Though Mr.. Gladstone's
plan of separate Parliament is distdsteful
to Lord Hartington's followers, coercion
after the Tory plan is just as unacceptable,
and certain amount of concession was nee
essary to secure their support. Lord Sails
bury appears to have fixed up policy in re-
gard to Ireland which they will not make
factious opposition to, but he gets no
pledges from them on other matters. They
still reserve the right to shipwreck his min
istry on any rock except the Irish rock
They will help him steer his craft safely by
that.

of the surplus among the States. The other
provides for its distribution among the bond
holders. AS regards the situation Of the
Treasury and its ability to cope with an
emergency the two run to the same end. But
there was much more plausibility to support
the resolution of 1886 than there is in the
present instance, because in the former case
the Government was out of debt and was

force and meaning to the adage that In the
business world it is the unexpected that hap

look back at it of course it seems the most

seemed so to those who were looking for

distributed to the States in 1887, it would
have ridden the storm in security. National
bankruptcy, signalized by an issue of Treas
ury notes which were not redeemed until

ton passed in the last year of Jackson's ad-
ministration.

Representative Seney, the congressman
from Ohio who introduced into the House a
resolution looking to the repeal Of the civil
service law, has just been renominated by
his Democratic constituency. Mr. Seney has
not repeuted of the position he took upon
that question, but boldly proclaims to the vc-
tiers of his district that he would vote for
the repeal of the law and also against
appropriating money to enforce it. He
says his doctrine is that to to the yictors
belongs the spoil. AS he had 300 majority
at the last election it is not at all probable
that his sentiments on civil service reform
will defeat him, unless the Democracy of
Ohio are much more deeply in love with that
reform than their brethren in this region.

1t is alleged that there has not been po-
litical convention in Vermont for many
years in which so many officeholders took
part as took part in the recent Democratic
State convention. 1t is hardly an exaggera-
ton to say that it was run by govern
ment officials. Inasmuch as it was only a
few days before the convention met that the
President issued his order warning Office
holders to attend to business and let politics
alone, the conduct of these Vermont officials
looks very much like an intentional defiance
of 1.-THE President to disregard which would
be practically an admission that he was not
in earnest when he made the order. The
rumor, therefore, that the civil service COM
mission is soon to give it's attention to this
case is probably true.

the reelection of Judge who has been Sc
we're upon those of them who have violated

thing, however, that the Prohibitionists
there have rallied to his support, refusing to
nominate candidate of their own. This
would be singular in the North. but perhaps
the Southern Prohibitionists are wiser than
their Northern brethren. Here the practice
is to run third party candidates, no matter
who may be put UP by the other parties.
In this way Hon. Edward B. Thomas, a
sturdy temperance man, having the courage
of his convictions, was defeated in his can
