DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.


The Democratic county convention

This report was adopted. J. c.
Hancock was chosen permanent
chairman and T. Z. Colohan perma-
nent secretary. The convention than
adopted some tar-fetched and dema-
goglc resolutions devoted primarily
to the abuse of the Republican party
and secondly to the enunciation of so
called principles, after which the fol-
lowing nominations were made:
For auditor, Geo. NJ. Giltinan; for
register of deeds, J. l.. Miller; for
sheriff, NJ. Finnegan; for treasurer,
H. Baldwin; for Judge of probate, G.
Sax; for supt. of schools, J. S. Robin
son; for surveyor. L. f. :Colohan; for
county attorney, S. c. Murphy; for
coroner, S. H. Duly; for court COM
missioner, Fred Buckentin and for
commissioners, Theo. Lindstad, p.
Griffith, J. c. Hancock, John Hadden
and Charles Wintermute.
It was machine convention.
"Cut and dried" does not more than
half express it.
Every body was recognized-that is
nearly everybody.
Some of the nominations made are
good ones and some are not. But
those that are not will help to make
up the Grading stock"
1t is reported that during the prog
ress of the convention one Democrat
said: "You nominate me for COM
missioner in my district or I'll bolt
your whole - ticket" He was nOm-
mated. There is nothing like taking
the bull squarely by the horns and
facing the music.
On the whole the delegates behaved
we'll. Some of them made faces
little when they learned the makeup
of the slate that the bosses had called
them in to indorse but they took
their medicine without saying any
thing.
There was a great deal of "unani-
nous" and "by acclamation" about
it but somehow the work of the con-
vention is not satisfactory after all.
The dudes that run the thing are in q
condition bordering upon thoughtful
ness.
There was some doubt among those
present as to whether the "pretty

MIND IN FARMING.
Practical knowledge Which Can BE Ac-
quired on the Farm.

Practical knowledge Which Can BE Ac-
quired on the Farm.
The idea has generally prevailed in
the past. and possibly more by farmers
than others, that for the business of
farming but little intellectual training
was necessary. A willingness to work
on in the old routine, that has been
transmitted from the practices of the
past, was all that could be safely relied
on for success, This narrow view,
born and kept alive by ignorance only.
is mistaken fallacy of the past, fast
diving out, rather than the sentiment
of intelligent, present thought. The
agriculture of to-day is not based on
manual labor alone. The education of
the mental faculties. as well as the
training of the hand to work skillfully
is recognized rs an essential in fitting
for the life work of the farm. Upon
these. intelligence and labor combined.
rest the hope of progress in agricul-
ture. And yet it may be questioned If
farmers fully appreciate the value to
their children of home training and
education in the work and in the bust
ness of the farm. Each year there go
out from the farm young men and
women to assume the work of man.
aging farms for themselves. Are
these young men and young women
as we'll educated and trained in the
work and business affairs of the farm
as they, the sons and daughters of
farmers, ought. with their opportuni-
ties, to be? We fear there is yet too
much of Indifference in parents in
teaching their children the business of
farming, not only as trade, but as a
profession. 1t ought to be kept con.
stantly in view that the training and
education needed by the farmer can
largely be learned at home, and that
the practical knowledge thus gained
will be of inestimable value-so much
capital with which to begin the BUSH
ness of farming.-Maine Farmer.

Hannibal Hamlin's Salute.

Anew story Of a youthful prank Of
Hannibal Hamlin is told by cores
pondent. When the ex-Vice President
was boy in Paris seven persons were
baptized in q stream north of Paris
Hill. Hamlin was one of party of
boys who, hearing of the approaching
ceremony, Struggled an old cannon
and seven cartridges into the woods
near the stream. AS the dripping con-
verts one by one were led out of the
stream, one by one the cartridges
doomed in the old cannon. The I'M
holy salute caused great CONSERVATION
and anger, but the mischievous young
