The friends of the Hon. John w. Deering,
marshaled by Mr.. d. w. True, appear to
have gone to the Democratic caucus last
night with the deliberate intention Of infict-
ing personal affront upon the Hon. Charles
Mccarthy. Under party usage Mr.. McCar-
thy was entitled to unanimous renomina-
tion, and certainly there was no reason why
he should be singled out as an exception to
the rule that has long obtained in municipal
politics. But when his nomination was
proposed by accIamation it was, promptly
objected to and on show oflhands it ap-
peared that twelve out tbs thirty delegates
voting were opposed to it. 1t appeared subse-
quently that all those twelve delegates were
In favor of the nomination of John w.
Deering and no doubt the slap in the face
they administered to Mr.. Mccarthy was
at Mr.. behring's suggestion. The purpose
Of this performance was twofold. In the
first place it was meant as personal affront
to Mr.. Mccarthy, and in the second place it
was intended to force Mr.. Mccarthy to de-
cline a nomination. 1t accomplished both
these purposes, but the Interior purpose Of
nominating the Hon. John w. Deering it did
not accomplish. OF course it is not our
affair, but we think that the Democracy Of
Portland must have become convinced by this
time that the Hon. John W. Deering is not a
paying investment

The Hon. John w. Deering has got to be a
good deal of political chestnut.

The opposition to the Blair bill continues
to increase, and increases with the names OF
, men whose words must have great influence.
The New York Evening Post publishes let
tiers from six college, presidents: Presidents
Barnard of Columbia, Robinson of Brown,
Gilman of Johns Hopkins, Carter of Will
liams, Angel of University Of Michigan and
HYDE of Bowdoin. President Barnard OPP
poses the bill because sit is bill to promote
mendicancy, but also upon the higher consid-
Grafton Mat it is totally without justifca-
ton in the Constitution Of the United States"
President Robinson says the bill is not only
unnecessary, but would prove positively mis-
chievous." President Gilman declares him
self 'among those who look with disfavor
upon the Blair BILL" President Carter, who
has spent some time in the South says that
"if the result of the Blair bill could be to en-
courage self help and to make education
precious, to arouse self denial and give vigor
to the slowly but surely increasing respect
for public education, and frmness to the
determination to make it more general and
thorough, one might support it with earnest
ness. But the effect of its passage and en-
forcement could not be such, but would be
the very reverse. 1TcSlucub AHScu sdye
swhile approaching the high motives of
those who are seeking the more general diff
fusion of education in the South, am not
able to favor the passage of the bill which
Senator Blair and others are advocating"
The most interesting letter, to Maine people
at least, is from President Hyde. petition
asking for the passage of the bill and urging
as a prominent reason the fact that there is a
surplus in the treasury, was circulated in
Brunswick, but got the signature of but one
member of Bowdoin College faculty. Presi-
dent Hyde's reasons for opposing the bill are
given IN the following extract from his
letter:
sound and permanent school system must
rest on the interest," the conviction and the self
sacrifice of the local community. Federal aid
nent system of common-School education must
The support of the bill seems to be of two kinds.
I'm so far as il Is honest II Is based on the mis-
chievous falacy that it is the proper function of
the federal government TO do anything and every
thing that is in itself desirable. The other kind
of support is due TO the obvious availability of the
hill as a enamel through which the overflow in
the Treasury can be drained off. Were II com
neled to appeal directly TO taxation for the money
Il nroposes TO expend, its defeat would be newt
able To take advantage Of the surplus for pur-
noses outside of the legitimate objects OF federal
taxation is simply a devise for obscuring the fact
flat we are imposing on ourselves an absurd and
anomalous burden OF taxation.

The interesting circumstance of the begin
ming of the debates in the English Parlia-
ment is the temperance of Mr.. Parnell. In
the course Of all the troublesome agitation
that has been going on in Ireland for months
now the name of the great leader has been
hardly mentioned. His lieutenants, the Dill
Ions, O'Briens and Sullivans have been the
leaders, while Mr.. Parnell himself has kept
In obscurity. Whether he has done so to
husband his resources, or because he did not
sympathize fully with the ''plan of cam
paign" no one seems to know. 1t is certain
that since the opening of Parliament he has
resumed his authority over his party. Mr..
Smalley telegraphs to the New York Trib-
une that his ascendency over his followers
seems If anything more complete than it was
last year. What is even more important, his
health is said to be much improved.

The efforts of David B. Hills friends to
push Grover Cleveland aside are very sug-
gestiye of the futillty of Mohammed's efforts
to wheedle the mountain. The New York
Sun, which is the great admirer of Governor
Hill, took occasion the other day to remind
the President that certain Grover Cleveland
expressed the opinion that President
should serve only one term. Governor Hill
next reminds the people in his speech at a
dinner in memory of Samuel j. Tilden that
the fortunes of the Democratic party are
not now dependent upon any one man, and
never can be. Finally the Sun chimes in
again with words of Tilden himself .Nei-
the Democratic party nor the republic, fol
whose future that party is the best guaran-
tee, is now, or ever can be, dependent upon
any one man for their successful progress in
the path of noble destiny" The plain in
tent of Hill and the Sun is to get up hula
baloo that will suggest an extensive opposi-
ton to Cleveland. But they have not the
lungs for it. Cleveland is not great man.
but the Democrats feel that he is their all.

A strange story has been telegraphed from
Boston to the New York Tribune that a
strong movement sis ON foot in Maine to
overthrow Prohibition and to try instead a
high license law" The further statement
that ''its origin is in Waldo.county" shows
that both the movement and the yarn origi-
mated with the few malcontents in Belfast
who belong to the Personal Liberty
League" The movement is petty and redlc-
ulous and no sane man in Maine attaches to
it any Importance.
