Editorial Comment.
The Democratic Convention.

augusta, Me, Dispatch to Boston
American.)
If everybody is ready, we will now
give d correct imitation of the Demo-
cratic State machine handing a pass
to Oblivion to the Hon. Obadiah
Gardner of Rockland.
The exercises will take place on the
stage of City Hall, over across the
river, on the forenoon of next We'd
nesday. The stage manager will be
Fred Emery Beane. chairman of the
State Committee, twice Mayor of Hal
lowell and member of more secret
orders than any man in Maine. One
thousands delegates will be in at
tendance either in person or by care
fully selected substitutes. The dress
rehearsals have been held. and-if
nothing slipS-the gentleman to head
the Democratic fight against Governor
Bert NJ. Fernald of West Poland, on
September II, will be the Hon. Fred
erick William Plaisted, Mayor Of Au-
guSta.
If nothing slips.
There was some talk yesterday-and
more today-tO the effect that the
Hon. Obadiah Gardner of Rockland is
learning his part with some difficulty.
The Hon. Obadiah is cast for a think
ing part. According to the role as
signed to the Hon. Obadiah by Charles
+. johnson, Cyrus w. Davis and Will
liam Robinson Pattangall. all of Wa
terville and all leaders" the Hon
Obadiah is to have but two words to
say in the course of the entertain
ment.
After they have said Git up.
Obadiah; sit down. Frederick" Mr..
Gardner is expected to walk to the
footlights with a smile on his genial
countenance and. bowling, murmur,
Thank you"
Report came up from RockIand late
this afternoon that Gardner is all
mixed up. In stead OF thank you"
the scouts report. Mr.. Gardner has
been out in the barn practicing MIR.
Chairman. | object"
Hence. great doings are looked for
on Wednesday.
Mr. Chairman will be former Mayor
Daniel J. McGillicuddy of Lewiston.
Mr. McGillicuddy will let loose on this
convention one of the greatest keynote
speeches the Democracy of Maine has
ever been spellbound by on the open
ing of State campaign.
Mr.. McGiIlicuddy will say things
about the high cost of living that will
make Eugene ~ Foss and Charles S.
Hamlin wish they thought of them
first. He will talk about the Payne
Aldrich tariff law and the various
statesmen responsible for it. with a
plain spokenness likely to bring so
many bushes of shame on certain
faces down to Washington" that the
District of Columbia will look like II
fat mans race on hot day in August.
Chairman McGillcuddy will say
things further about the prohibition
way. He will discuss Republican ex-
extravaganza. He will hit out straight
from the shoulder. Nobody who
reads the McGillicuddy speech will find
a spade referred to anywhere therein
as a heart or a diamond
The leaders are still confident to-
night that there is nothing to it but
Plaisted. They laugh heartily at the
suggestion that Gardner and his
friends of the Grange may come to
town on Wednesday with something
up their capacious sleeves. Fernad
beat Gardner two years ago by only
1878 votes. The Gardner people have
been urging that Mr.. Gardner is en-
titled to at least another try.
