Many Veterans Present.
With that happy Inconsistencies of
impending ills which has characterized
the young in all generations, the young
Democrats of Portland dined at the
Preble house last evening. 1t is true
that at times there was a certain pensive-
ness-almost a gentle melancholy-abo
the proceedings; but this was undoub6ed
ly the result of the sombre reflections of
the older men like Mr.. Alvin d. Sweetsir,
who was regretting that General Andrew
jackson could not be present, or Alder
IAN Tolman, who was disappointed at
not seeing present United States Marshal
John A. Donovan and other members of
the Plum Trust, or Mr.. Charles A. Cush-
ing, who was regretting that this was
not Democratic year.
But the young men banished all fore
boding about the morrow, and enjoyed
the good things of the present. Those
who gathered at the tables and were

After the dinner, which was furnished
forth with many courses of aristocratic
and un-democratic viands, and enl1vened
by the delightful music of the Crescent
Banjo Mandolin and Guitar..club, Presi-
dent Perry arose and informed the club
that it was the fourth annual dinner,
and that the courage of the club was I'M
diminished, although municipal affairs
were somewhat changed"
But President Perry averred that he
was fully persuaded that in few days
the labors of the club would place in the
Mayors chair Cushing that would re-
fleet honor on the party.
Mir. Perry then introduced the Hon. A.
F. Moulton, with predatory notice
about who Mr.. Moulton was, as if every
one did not know that he was the
famous chairman of that extraordinary
Andrew Jackson celebration.
Mr. Moulton in assuming the chair of
the POSTMASTER, did not dwell much on
local affairs, preferring to jump at once
to the Potomac, where he declared that
the affairs of the naUlon were in COM
petent hands, Moderate applause
punctuated this assertion. Then the Nc
Kinley bill was noticed, and Mr.. Moulton
declared that that measure was in line
with the policy with which the Tory
party afflicted England for four hundred
years. Americans were taxed about
eight dollars each without regard to
ability to pay. He believed in manhood
suffrage, but not in manhood taxation.
This indirect tariff taxation was really
for the benefit of the corporations, the
cry that it WAS to help the poor man be-
