The National Democratic convention
will be beld in Baltimore June 25th. The
Democratic convention of 1872 was held
in Baltimore in July and nominated Hor-
ace Greeley. Hon. Eben F. Pillsbury
headed the Maine delegations. The con-
venfion met in Ford's Opera House.
The leading newspapers were for Gree
ley and the talk generally was that the
people wanted him. There was, how
ever, at least one dissenting voice; that
of Col. VIM. T, Thompson, editor of the
Savannah News and author of major
Jones Courtship, "etc., "a Southern jour-
nalist and gentleman of the old school.
He said he had been fighting Greeley all
his life and rather than vote for him
would vote for Grant. The convention
brought newspaper men from all over
the country ana a number of them were
gathered the night before the convention
in a room of the Carrolton Hotel. A
verbal set-to between George Alfred
l. " w IL . { Ii VI anu d. N1CCuliOuSu
C'Mack'') of the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, concluding with the enquiry:
George, is there any party in this coun-
try you haven't belonged to-" afforded
much amusement. Mccullough told with
infinite gusto, and touch of the brogue,
the comment of a brother Celt on the
situation. Said the Irishman: eff Gree
ley is nominated at Baltimore he will be
just the best Democrat you ever saw;
and if he isn't nominated he'll be just the
same id fool he always was" He
was nominated and his campaign
speeches have never been equalled. He
frequently made three speeches in day
clear, concise, logical addresses, never
repeating himself. His strenuous work
in the campaign, his overwhelming de-
feat, and the taking from him the control
of the New York Tribune wrecked his
intellect and ended his life.

The snow storm of last week kept the men
busy on the roads for five successive DAYS. 1t
is very unusual that we have storms SO severe
that the mails cannot get through. Mr.. An
drews, the Camden stage driver, stayed in Bel
fast from Friday until Monday and Mr.
Healey on the R. F. D. route, did not get any
mail here for six days. George Wadlin, who
is attending the Belfast High school, will board
in Belfast during the winter term. He has a
room at Mr.. Healey's on Church street. Miss
Janetta Rogers has returned to her studies at
Dean Academy, Franklin, Mass, after spend
ing the Christmas vacation at home. m. D.

Chas. Mahoney Friday afternoon. Delicious
chocolate, sandwiches and cake were served.

A letter written by Woodrow Wilson
April 30, 1907 and addressed to Adrian
H. Joline, has just been made public, in
which Mr. Wilson says: "Would that we
could do something at once dignifed and
effective to knock Mr.. Bryan once for
all INTO a cooked hat" and the New York
News says the sentiment thus expressed
twill strike a responsive chord in the
hearts Of all sound minded, clear-sighted
members of the Democratic party"
What follows does not leave Wilson in a
very favorable light. The News says
further:
But, alas! since his candidacy became
known Gov. Wilson has certainly Great
ed the impression that he has been more
than willing to daily with the forces of
Organism; that he has gone out of his
way, more than once, to curry favor
with the remnant Of the supporters of
the Nebraska orator, that he even has
been willing to incorporate some of the
folly of Organism in his own creed.

The Opinion is modest in speaking of
"a little campaign money!" as it is pref
ty we'll understood that in the campaign
of 1910, and in the Yes and No campaign
of 1911, the Democrats had the biggest
campaign funds ever known in Maine.
In 1910 a liberal percentage of this
money was put where it would produce
the most votes, but in 1911 the general
impression is that but little of the money
contributed by the liquor dealers and
brewers got past the bosses.

Congressman McGillicuddy is quoted as
saying, that the sympathy of the

THORNDIKE.
Well, we have survived the intense cold and
billiards of the new year only to be confront
ed with the notice from our commissioner of
agriculture that we must get out in the deep
snow and zero temperature and gather in our
brown tail moth nests. We believe in looking
after our moth nests all right-brown tail or
white tail-but we cannot quite understand
why our farmers should not be allowed to do
the work in March or April instead of such a
time as this, when deep snow and intense
cold make it very uncomfortable and dis
agreeable. We can not help thinking that
there was a mistake made when the men who
made this brown tail law were sent to Augusta.
No doubt they were all nice men, but they
ought to have been billed through to the in
sane asylum, instead of to the State House,.
There is no news this week. Everything is
frozen up, even the sink spout. and at this
writing, Monday noon, it looks as though the
weather man had pushed the lever clear out
and was gong to give US something even worse
than brown tail moths.

II Is Possible.

| The Wheeling Register has the
following TO say of an interesting
possibility in connection with the
rather remarkable political situation
that now confronts the country:
6 It is highly probable that the
nominee of the. Baltimore conven-
ton will become the next president
of, the United States, for whether or
not the tide Of public sentiment is
flowing toward democracy the oppo-
sition to the Baltimore. nominee will
be SO divided as to make the election
Eof either Taft or Roosevelt improba-
bic. But while the possibility of the
republican candidates together win
ming sufficient electors to prevent the
democratic nominee from securing a
majority of the electoral college is
very remote, political developments
OF the past two weeks have created
conditions which afford food for in
teresting speculation,
There are 531 members Of the
electoral college, and 1t will be nee
essary for candidate to receive 206
votes to be elected president. II
Taft and Roosevelt together win that
number or more, there VII be no
choice and the election will be
thrown into the house of represen-
tatives for the first time since 1900.
Under the constitutional provision
for such a contingency, the present
congressman would act, not the CON
gressmen elected in November. It
would have one vote Arizona
would be as powerful as New York
twenty-five states are represent
ed in the present house by democrat
ic delegations, twenty-three by re-
publican delegations Neither has
enough TO control, even if all the
delegations of the same political
faith should unite Upon one candi-
date, as the constitution provides
that a majority of all the states
sEal be necessary to choice. If,
the election should be thrown into
the house therefore, it is possible
that body would be unable to agree
and in the event of d deadlock last
L,
president would become president
But II the electoral college should
fail to elect president it would
almost certainly fail to elect a vice
president, and with no president, or
Vice-president, and the house of rep
resentatives unable to agree, the
election would be thrown into the
senate. That body would elect
ylee-president, who would become
president in such a contingency.
These complications are not likely
to occur, but they are possibilities.
II IS undoubtedly due to the consti-
tutional provision for election by
the house of representatives that
that there have never peen more
than two great political parties at
one time in this country
