was nominated as chairman, an honor
which this time he did not refuse. Ed.
mund J. Young was made secretary, and
took his place on the platform where
the greater part of the delegates entitled
to vote were now assembled to the num-
Der of two. Another committee was So
lected to nominate three delegates at
large to the district convention, and they
selected Samuel L. Bates, w. L. Blake
and Joseph E, r. Connolly. This con-
vention then adjourned.
1t was now nearly o'clock, at which
time it had been announced that he
Democrats of Portland would choose
their candidates to the legislature. Time
wore away and the little knot OF Demo-
Gratis in Reception hall did not grow
any larger. Finally G. Thornton Libby
arrived and went into conference with
Mr.. Greenleaf Mr.. Bates and others.
There didn't seem 60 be any hurry
about calling this third convention to
order as the difficulty seemed to be to get
list OF men who would accept the
nomination as representatives to the Leg
islature. Many We're suggested, but were
finally discarded. About half-past four
O'Clock Mr.. Bates once more announced
from the rostrum that the time had ar
rived to call the convention to order.
The nominations for candidates for repre-
sentative to the Legislature were made
from the floor by O. Thornton Libby.
He did not attempt to make a speech,
| but presented the whole Iist after c0nsid-
cradle prompting by those about him.
The nominees were as follows: William
H. Ingraham, Tobias A. Burke, Wyer
Green, James H. KelIeher, Terrence P.
AIcGowan and Charles f. Stubs Mr..
Bates had the satisfaction of declaring
the third convention adjourned, and
the Maine men who had passed tbs after
noon in doing the work of their party
wandered YEARLY from the hall, Mr..
Bates wearing a smile upon his careworn
face, significant of knowledge that his
duty had been well performed.

The Democrats in Portland fear that
the country delegates are coming into
Portland on Tuesday next and attempt
to endorse Mr.. Samuel f. Pearson, the
Prohibition nominee for sheriff. The
cityIdelegation, it is said. is generally OPP
posed to this being done, but out in the
country the Democrats are said to favor
this plan. Mr.. Howard Dyer Is said to
be the man who win receive the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Dyer is a grain merchant IN
South Portland. L. w. Moulton Of Stan
dish has been mentioned and it is under
stood has refused TO allow his name to be
used in this connection.
The district Democratic convention at
Alfred viii nominate Gen. John J.Lynch
Of Portland as q candidate for represen-
tatiye to Congress. When Gen. Lynch
was first told that he was being talked of
as a prospective candidate he regarded IL
as a huge joke, but when men from all
over the district began to drop IN on him
and assure him that he had the field to
himself, 1t WASH so funny. Gen. Lynch
has not sought this honor but it is said
he VIII have to accept 1t because he didn't
refuse at first, and it is now too late to
lind another man.
Gen. Lynch is wei K wn IN Portland,
where he is regarded BY everyone as "a
first rate fellow" Gen. Lynch was born
in Lewiston, August ID, 1858. His faith
er was Michael Lynch.a welI-known rail-
road contractor, IN the firm of H1tchings
& Lynch, and constructed, or helped to
construct the Portland & Rochester rail-
road, the Knox & Lincoln, part of the
Boston & Maine, and part of the Og-
densburg railroads. Gen. Lynch came to
Portland 40 years ago and graduated
from the Portland High school in the
class of 1872 He graduated from Holy
Cross college in 1877, stood at the head Of
his class and was considered, SO one of
his schoolmates told the reporter, one Of
the best all-round athletes in the college.
He became interested in military mat
tiers when the Portland Cadets were
formed and in 1873 was chosen captain of
the Montgomery Guards, which he made
ons of the crack military organizations
in the State service. In 1881, he was ap-
pointed inspector general on the staff of
Gov. Plaisted and served in that position
two years. Gen. Brown, then colonel of
the First regiment, resigned, and Gen.
Lynch was elected in his place, serving
six years in this capacity. He studied
law in the Office of Strout & Gage, and
was admitted to the bar in 1879.

The Poll Tax Question Settled.

The Supreme Court has decided
the poll tax question and We may
now rest easy as to our right to vote
at the election in November, so far
as the pol! tax is concerned. The
Supreme Court has decided to vote
ut the coming election it will not be
necessary to exhibit to the commits.
sioners receipts showing the pay.
ment of the poll tax for the years
1898 and 1899, prior to December Of
said year. TO vote at any election
after January LIST, 1902 it will be
necessary to exhihit poll tax receipts
OF the payments Of poll taxes bgt
not before that time.
We are very glad that the Supreme
Court has had occasion to decide
this matter at this time, as We now
know what to do.

The Campaign Has Already
Opened.

This is official. 1t comes from
the mouth of the great Democratic
nominee himself, ". j. Bryan. Mr.
Bryan says that the platform adopt
ed a, Kansas City is the greatest
platform adopted in the history Of
the party; that j, is greater than the
Chicago platform, for the reason
that it rc-afiirms the Chicago plat
form and adds 10 it the great qucs
,iops which have arisen since the
adoption Of that platform.
The platform adopted at Kansas
City certainly has many merits. Its
best meri, being that it faces all is
sues squarcly. 1t does not hide a
thing. There is not an uttcrance in
it tina: can possibly be misconstrued.
1t outlines the policy which tho
Democratic party will follow after
election to office. 1t has besides a
nominee whom all can trust, in whose
honesty of purpose even his enemies
have not The slightest doubt.
In his speech at Lincoln, Nebr.s-
ka, the other day, Mr.. Towne we'll
said that, if the people OF the
United States approve at the polls in
November the gyrations Of policy of
the present President, the Empire
will not I've in sight, but will be ac-
tually upon US. 1t is upon US now
in fact. We have all the ears marks

Mr.. Bryan on the Democratic
Platform.

William j. BRYAN himself mad
the following statement on tn
Democratic platform:
=! am very much gratified t
learn Of the adoption Of platform
which is clear and explicit on ever,
question. The controversy over tn,
silver plank was not a controversy
between men who differed in prnci
pies. but rather difference of opin
ion, as TO the best method of stating
the question.
'.lI we only had Democrats % deal
with, a simple reafiirmation would
have been sufficient. but we have TO
dead with the Republicans as well as
Democrats, and some of the Republi-
cans would misconstruc reaffirma-
ton and endeavor To twist it into an
evasion or abandonment o: the silver
question.
sour appeal is to the patriotism
and conscience of The people, and we
must take them into our confidence
If We expect them TO have confidence
i'll Us. Our platform deals honestly
and fearlessly with every question
before the public, and since we have
nothing to explain we can spend all
our time in assaults upon Republi-
can policies.
''The industrial trusts have alarm.
cd many who were not with US in
"ur fight against the money trust in
1896. We shall not disappoint
them; we shall not cease our efforts
until every private monopoly is de.
stloicd.
"!mperialism appeals to many as
the most dangerous of the ills now
menaclng our country. 1t involves
not only change in cur ideas of
but return to mill.
tarlsm of the old world. No matter
how many men may differ as to the
relative Importance of the questions
now before the country. every one
must recognize that an economic
eva can be corrected more easily
than one which attacks the founda.
lion of government.
"lf we adhere to the principle
hat government is thing made

'eoP'c can in time remedy every

rendered the people are helpless TO
