Goschen, in the absence of Smith, stated
that if the bill was not passed at the close of

it is probable that the opposition will retire

BANGOR, Aug. /.
The Democratic Barbecue here has not
come up to the blooming success it was ad-
verified to be. There was a good sized
crowd, but the fact soon became evident
that the vast majority of them viewed the
whole affair in the same light with which
they would view a circus or dime show.
Its chief attraction for the multitude was
the fact that it cost them nothing. The
greater part of the crowd were known TO
have paid nothing tor their tickets, the Dem
ocratic barrel, which the Bourbon leaders
have filed from the surplus, and other sourc-
es oiling the way.
The feed was fzzle of the most harrow
ing kind. 1t early became evident that the
managing moguls had bitten off considerably
more than they could chew, and that the
steer, or more correctly speaking calf which
they had roasted would not go very far
towards satisfying the cravings of a crowd
of ravenous democrats who had come there
on purpose to eat. Two hogs were added to
the list of yiands, but they were found when
roasted not to make the most sav0ry of dish
es. The crowd soon saw that the preparar
tions to receive them were not up to the oc-
casion, and grumbled most vociferously.
The management was criticised severely, and
the harmony of the occasion seemed very
81
number of Bourbon hustlers took the case
in hand, and a collection of food was made
which although not sufficient to supply the
demand, had some effect in modifying the
multitude.
II was at best cold lunch collected from
many sources, but it was thankfully received
and much more could have been slowed
away under the capacious waistcoats of the
visiting Jacksonians without any discomfort
The great speakers which have been sent
for failed to appear, and their places were
filled with smaller guns.
This made no difference to the concourse
Of the faithful, however, who, like the fam
Gus Norval, had come in search of food and
strange adventure" rather than eloquence.
When the lunch was disposed of in man
ner resembling an old-fashioned grab game,
the crowd dispersed, many of them patroniz-
ing the restaurants and others of more econ
omcal turn satisfying the continual crav-
ings of the inner man by crackers and cheese
which they purchased at the grocery store.
The post prandial exercises were slim
and added still further to the general dicom-
fort. The impression of the whole affair,
although, the Bourbon shouters are trying
hard to conceal it wi tn loud talk is that it
must make II dismal failure.

PARLIAMENT.

Minority.
Who Fight the Government Inch by
Inch on the Parnell Bill.

LONDON, Aug. l.
On resumption of the debate in Commons
today on the Parnell commission bill, Bal
four said that the speech of Matthews. last
night in which he said that the judges al.
ready had power TO select such charges as
they deemed worthy of an inquiry, con-
tanned what the government had all along
stated. Gladstone said that the government s
covenant had been entered and was absolute
ly changed.
Gladstone said that his party would let the
country understand these proceedings and
that il was justified in concluding, that there
must be a motive for the way letters were
being thrown into the shade.
Balfour said that the remarks were i'm
proper and denied that the government had
altered the bill or changed their position.
Reid wanted TO inquire into the charges.
Sexton believed that the government
wanted the outside persons TO fall back on
IN case the charges against the members
were broken down.
Matthews said that the inquiry was not in.
to the conduct of the members as members,
but in their capacity as members of an out
side organization.
llarcourt said the opposition were at last
beginning to detect the real meaning of the
bill. 1t now appeared that the governments
object in creating commission was not to
give the Parnelllte members an opportunity
TO clear themselves of foul and calumnous
charges, but TO inquire into political organ
ization. IL that were so, why had not the
government instituted the inquiry long ago:
The government, wishing TO escape the re-
sponsibility for the commission, asserted that
its formation was proposed at the instance of
Parnell, yet the House were now told that its
object was to inquire into a political organl-
zation.
Healy said he believed the change in the
ballot was the result of Walters visit TO
Smith. Balfour admitted that the commit
tee of the cabinet was decided to include
and Others" in reference to the commission
and the next day the whole cabinet assented
If Smith in announcing reference in the
House did not read the words land other
persons" it was doubtless a slip.
Gladstone said the conduct of the ministers

commission as leaving out these an impor-
tant words,

WARD CLUES.


1t is doubtful if the signers of

natures mean. The summary of

tually pledges himself to support

hardly possible that the sishers

plain english it means to say to
Captain Holmes: You have no
rights, or if you have, we ignore
them. These gentlemen hardly
intend that. They hardly mean to
say that, TO as good a democrat as
ever trod the dirt of Madison par
ish or Of Louisiana, whose record
is unsullied by any act unworthy
democrat, a democrat who defies
any man to point to political blot
on his record, a democrat who as q
man, and n white man, stands
proudly before his enemies. and
challenges any man TO tarrish his
democracy. Oh no, gentlemen
You don't mean to say that such a
man has no rights, that he is to be
fouIly dealt with in this way, by
the party that he has served so
long and so well. You don't want
to cast ont from among you such a
democrat, if you are really demo
Gratis, and know what democracy
means. 1t is pitiiul spectacle
that men can be induced to lend
their names to such proceedings
that their better instincts can be
overcome by the sham terror OF
republican ascendancy, and they,
thereby, be persuaded to virtually
condemn a man urheard, with his
wrongs unredressed. Are the peo-
pie of Madison really afraid Of a
return to negro supremacy? They
know they ave not. That is a
cry to terrify children, and is used
as cloak to the scheme to dciraud
Captain Holmes of the justice due
him. Don't lend your names to
such an outrage, but rather rebuke
the insult to your manhood involv.
ed in the suppositiOn that you can
be frightened by such such sug-
gestions, into abandoning yOu
rights and signing away your C m
victions.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The difference between the men
who claim everything now, and the
maligned Holmes men. In 1883
the Mcclellan men charged fraud
on the pat of the Holmes crowd.
Did the men accused of fraud con-
tent themselves with simply deny
ing it? No! they secured the
country, and obtained the affi-
davits of the men who attended
the meeting, and voted for Geo.
W. Montgomery for chairman al
the mass meeting in 1883, and
demonstrated beyond cavil tina,
they had a majority of the leg Il
voters of the parish, but even that
did not stop the contest; the defeat
ed faction kept up the contest un.
til after the election. and they are
the men who now, object to q con-
test. What did they do when
fraud was charged Did they
make any atiemp. to disprove the
charge? Not that anybody knows
of. They just deny it and nothing
more. Iii just as easy now for
them to get their evidence as it
was for Us TO do so in 1888, bat they
don't want any evidence. The
calm consideration of the people
of this parish is invited to this
contrast.

DEMOCRACY.

mere Is cons. ucraDle TALK going
on just about now, concerning true
democracy and true democrats.
The State Central Committee at
tempted to lay down the law to the
parishes, which to be sure, is 60
ing outside of their prerogatives,
but they tried it all the same, in
this shape: "And whenever the
regularly constituted parish au-
thorities" (Which includes the par
ish of Orleans, "shall put ticket
before the people, no other ticket
shall be considered the democratic
ticket to be supported by the dem
ocratic party"
Now, the n. O. States cannot be
considered anything but a good
democratic paper, and the democ.
racy of its editor, Maj. Hearsey
has never been questioned. His
services to the party have been OF
kind that not every alleged dem
ocrat can boast of, yet hear what
he says on this action of the State
