The third district Democratic conven-
ton which is to be held at Pittsfield to-
day is to be enlivened by the appearance
of the Hon. Benjamin Bunker as can
didate for congressional honors. Mr..
Bunker is not at all backward in coming
forward and telling the delegates whathe
wants and why he wants it, He has issued
an address to the convention which is
printed in another column in which he
very clearly states his claims to the nomi-
nation. He has always been Democrat,
he says, has worked for Democratic sue
cess, and has accomplished great things
for the party and he thinks it only fair
that he should be rewarded. 1t is TN
derstood that the Hon. S. S. Brown will
present Mr.. Bunker's name. Mr. Bunker
would make lively candidate, but if by
virtue of his candidacy he should become
patronage distributor under Democratic
administration the kid glove eliment of
the Third district Democracy would not
be likely to get much show. But the
boys would be well looked after.

The Republican convention meets at
Minneapolis to-day. The events of to-
days session will probably be unimpor-
tant, though possibly some question may
arise which may serve as test of the
comparative strength of the two princi-
pal candidates. One of the difficult pre-
liminary question which is soon tobe set
tledand which may have very import
ant bearing upon the result is that of the
neutrality-suspicious.. Some eighty-two
seats are in dispute and long hearings be-
fore the committee on credentials are prob
able and after that perhaps a long debate
in the convention on the committees re-
port. 1t is hardly possible that vote
can be reached before Thursday and
probably not before Friday.

The Democratic State convention.
which meets at Bangor tomorrow, will
have good deal of business on it's
hands. A candidate for governor is to
be nominated, platform adopted, dele
gates at large and district delegates to
the Chicago convention chosen, or the
choice of the districts ratified. AS for
the governorship, the situation seems to
be as obscure as it was several months
ago. There is nobody who wants the
somebody who will sacrifice himself for
the good of the party by accepting it.
We suppose somebody will be found with
sufficient amount of patriotism, though
who it will be nobody seems to be able
to suspect at present. The bothersome
question in platform making will be the
rum question-whether OF not a re-sub-
mission plank shall be put in. The
cities and many of the large towns are in
favor of it, but the country towns are
dead set against it, anG no such plank
can get in without big fight. The
chances are that such plank will be
omitted, with the tacit understanding
that in the counties where there is
strong anti-prohibition sentiment, the
Democracy may appeal to the rum vote
by putting in nomination for sheriffs
men who, it is understood, will if
elected practically ignore the prohibit
tory law. Probably all the men chosen
as delegates at large will be Cleveland
supporters, but an attempt to instruct
them is liable to cause kick. There is
a row brewing over the member of the
Democratic State committee from York
county, the Biddeford Democracy being
anxious to tip out Mr.. Donavan and fill
his place with Mr.. Haley of Biddeford.
