Such Was the Vote OF the Democratic State
Committee. Last Evening.

OF the 16 counties only 10 were rep
resented at the meeting of the Demo
cratic State committee held, last even
ing, at Hotel North, when it was voted
June 80.
The delegates present were Hon
George f. Hughes, Bath; d. ]. McGil-

Jr., Biddeford; w. r. Hunnewell
Pittsfied W. #. Cannon, Bangor;
w. |. Wilson, Belfast; c. 3. Morton
T. w. Plasted, Augusta.
The committee, after being in session
until past 1890, voted to hold the con
vention in Bangor, June so. The plans
for the fall campaign We're discussed,
but no plank touched.
One of the principal points of discus
sion at the meeting was the platform
on which the convention should be
called. After the question had been
discussed to some length, Chairman
Hughes implied that he would not
sign the call for the convention unless
it was for a convention of those favor
ing the Chicago platform. The matter
was finally compromised by agreeing to
issue the call for those in favor Of the
Chicago platform and for all others in
tercsted in the welfare Of the PARTY
and opposed to the present administra-
ton.
During the course Of the discussion,
which lasted from 7.3o until 1890 some
of The members. among them being p.
J. McCillicuddy of Lewiston. advanced
the idea that there would not be the
slightest trouble in lining Up thu Dem
ocrats in favor of the new idea, TO
adopt the Chicago platform.
T. Goldthwaite, Jr., of Biddcford. ad-
vanced the idea that the only way to
unite the party would be by adopting
platform having gold as the basis
and placing silver On a parity with 1t.
on his motion the committee agreed 10
meet in Bangor, June 80. Several Cf
the members wished to hold the con-
vcntion in July but the idea was not
carried through
