THE STATE CONVEXT10S
The time for the assembling of tile Re
publican State Convention is close at hand,
bringing with it important duties to be at
tended to. Within the next ten days cau
cuses will be held, or should be, in every
town and city in the State, for the election
of delegates. We urge upon the voters of
the republican party the necessity of at
tending these primary meetings, and care
fully selecting such men as they desire to
represent them in the State convention, j
It is a duty which they owe to themselves
and their party, the neglect of which often
occasions towns to be misrepresented or
unrepresented, to be followed by dissatis
faction and indifference at the election, for
which nobody is so much to blame perhaps
as they who find the most fault. If the j
mass of voters will stay away from cau
cuses from lack of interest in current po
litical affairs, and allow those who arc ac- j
tive to manage such things, they ought not.
to complain at the result. It would be
better lor all, however, to make it a point
to attend all caucuses of the party to which
they belong, for it is there in many cases
that the question of office is settled, the de
cision of the caucus being equivalent to an
election at the polls. If a certain policy
or certain men for candidates are desired
the caucus is the place to show it. Much
has been said abtnit some other mode of
choosing delegates and candidates, but
after all nothing has yet been invented to
take the place oi the caucuses. They are
open to ali, their acts arc not above cen
sure or correction, and there is no good
reason why they may not represent tairly
the wishes and opinions of the majority,
providing that majority will look well to
the performance of its duties.
The State Convqption on the loth will
lie a meeting of considerable importance.
Governor Chamberlain retires after four
years of honorable service, and makes it
necessary to fill the gubernatorial chair
with a newincumbent. There has been a
strong and earnest pressure upon him to
be a candidate in the coming convention,
but his decision is otherwise and irrevoca
ble. The names of two men, both meri
torious, both familiar with public life and
distinguished by private virtue and worth,
either of whom would fill the office of gov
ernor with ability, are prominently before
the people as candidates for that position.
It lies with the republican party to choose
between them. In spite of rumors of
complications, combinations, rings, threat
ening®, under-ground workings, which*are
chiefly the invention of the enemies of the
republican party and designed to distract
opinion and promote the very thing which
they seem to deprecate and denounce, the
gubernatorial question is entirely within
the control of the masses of the republican j
party. Let men attend the caucuses and ,
vote without regard to whispers of com- j
hi nations or frowns of dictation as they !
believe to be right and best. Let the hon- j
est sentiment of the party rule, and what
ever the result it will be well with the re- j
publican party and the State. We desire
that the State convention shall truly rep
resent the republican party in its action,
and to this end we appeal to all who be
long to it to engage actively in the selec
tion of delegates, so that when the candi
date is nominated there shall be universal
acquiescence in the result and hearty and
united effort at the polls in September.
Leave to the democracy the labor of rais
ing visionary schemes to arouse jealousy
and create division in our ranks, while we j
go forward in fearless preparation to give ,
them their annual drubbing in September, j

THE DOS KEY DEMOCRACY.
The opposition to the Fifteenth Amend
ment by the sitnon pure democracy is well
illustrated in the following article from
the Columbus Crisis, a staunch democrat
ic paper of the buckeye (State. The
donkey democrats so graphically described
are not confined to Ohio, but are found
straying at large in this and other States.
Among them are those who have held up
the party in Maine for sale to the highest
bidder for several months past. There is no
need of calling names. Hut mark what
the Crisis says:
There is a vast quantity of senseless
blather about submitting to the finalities, and
hundreds of feeble intellects favor the policy
of acquiesing in the grossest and most scanda
lous frauds ever perpetrated upon a people,
with a view to gain office and [lower. (Such
advisers should bo, like the debt, repudiated.
They are the representatires of the donkey
race, leading the columns of lions, and their
counsels are unworthy of esteem, because in
stigated by motives never regarded by the De
mocracy of this country. Iti a republic, sup
posed to be governed "by tlie people, and for
the people” there can be no such things us
fraudulent finalities. The umpireship of these
finalities rests with the people, and it'there is
not spirit and intelligence enough in them to
resent such impositions as the 13th Amend
ment or this scandalous public debt, there can
be no need of parties, nor can there be much
excuse lor the formation of tactions in oppo
sition to the imperi dism that has already as
sumed swsy.
In another column of this paper we pub
lish the call for Democratic State Convention,
to he held on the first Wednesday and first
day of June. Xu that convention, which
should he a representative body of the De
mocracy of Ohio, there should be a final
quietus put upon the.time-servers and policy
mongers who are anxious to recognize facts as
accomplished In-fore anything lias been es
tablished. Such counsels have enervated the
party heretofore, and will do the like service
again, if there is not manliness in the conven
tion to resent their shameful approaches.
The Fifteeuth Amendment trill be, as it ouyhi
to be. denounced and repudiated as a fraud,
swindle and usurpation, such as the people ol
Ohio, with a becoming sense of their owr
rights and dignity, will refuse to recognize ol
any fore* or effect, as a part of the law of tht
land, in the form of a Federal Constitution
It should go to the world as the opinion of a
least one-half ofthe [>eoplo of Ohio, that tht
Fifteenth Amendment is the the thimble
rigging trick of a caucus of thieves, w ho hut
no more right to vote away the liberties o
States and peoples than they bad to ael
dominions that they did not own.
LETTER FROM PORTLAND.
Tun Dlrrici'LTY at the State Reform
School. Resignation of Superintend
ent WOODBIRT.
Portland, May 27, 1870.
The resignation of Hon. E. W. Woodbury
as Superintendent of the State Reform School,
which was announced to the public two days
ngo, has naturally excited some attention as
the cause was not easily divined. The Judge
has been justly very popular in this place and
has managed many departments of the estab
lishment with almost unexampled skill, and
the differences between him and the Trustees
which furnish the occasion of his sudden res
ignation w ill be of interest to your readers,
and I herewith give the history of the trouble.
Some two years ago, a boy who had been sent
front Lewiston forno particular crime, but for
being a sort of worthless youth, escaped from
the institution, having been let out with some
others who were on their good behavior. He
had been several years there and was one of
the best boys in the school, lie made his way
home, soon got employment, being well along
in his teens, allotted the substance of his earn
ings to the support of his aged mother, and
took her from the support of charity. About
six months ago he was captured and taken
back to the school. A fi*w days ago Ex-At
torney General Frye of Lewiston, who was
mayor of that city at the time of the boy's com
mitment, accompanied by the City Marshal,
appeared before the Trustees and stated the
case of the boy, asking for his discharge.
They represented his worthiness to be trusted
and the desire of the community to have him
come back and assume the charge of his
mother, and their faith in his being a fit case
for clemency. Mr. Woodbury opposed his
discharge on the ground that it was demoral
izing on the school and declared that it was
an unwarrantable interference with his author
ity. llut the Trustees discharged him and
the Superintendent resigned. There is at
present no hope of a reconciliation, and it is
probable that a new Superintendent will have
to I* chosen.
There were undoubtedly other little differ
ences as to the management of some details,
but this is the substance of the whole matter
as stated to me by those who knew. It is a
hard place to fill and it is an unprofitable busi
ness to make frequent changes in manage
ment. and it would seem that the present
trouble ought to have been in some way avoid
ed.

The story of the Calhoun rose is told by

bier of the honored dead. The rose was
carefully preserved, taken to Anderson, and
planted. It grew and bloomed. Since then
it has been transplanted four times, and to day
is blooming in the garden of Colonel Sloan,

A sailor from one of the lake fleet vessels
went into a shop in Milwaukee and purchased
goods to the amount of fifty cents. Throw
ing down a bill, he said: “There is a two
dollar bill—give me the change.” A glance
showed the storekeeper that the bill was a
“V,” and hastily sweeping it into the drawer,
he gave back the change. After Jack was
gone the man went to the drawer and found
that the bill was a “V,” to be sure, but was a
little the worst counterfeit ever seen. Indig
nant at the treatment, Jack was found bv the
storekeeper and threatened, but Jack was
ready, and showed by a comrade that he re
ceived but a dollar and a half in change, so
he could not have given the man the bill.
After a little talk the matter was allowed to
drop by the storekeeper, who has probably
learned something he did not know before.
A laughable incident occurred in a Chinese
Sabbath School in San Francisco not long

midst of the lesson, vault over the back of
the pew, in which he was sitting, and seat
himself by the side of a beautiful young lady
who had just entered. On being asked by the
elderly teacher what he meant by such dis
ordely conduct he replied: ‘'Me like pretty
young woman, you too muchey old.

\\rILL be Bold the new and beautiful Block of
▼ ▼ Store* known a* the Thompson Block,
built by the late Bethuel T. Thompson, of Lowell,
Mags.,'for a permanent investment, and considered
by the business men of the city one ot the best in

probability the rise on state property in that direc
tion will more than realize 10 percent, on the money
invested, beside the rent from year to year.
These stores afe built in the nicest manner possi
ble, ami suitable for a first class Wholesale Dry
Goods, Jewelry, Clothing, Apothecary or any bust
ness where a nice store and good location is neces
sary. One of these stores already leased for $2200.
while the upper stories are let with the exception of
one chamber for Wholesale Boot and Shoe Store,
and manufacturing purposes.
This Block ha* a frontage of t<4 fuel on Middle
Street, 4 stories in height, besides the basements,
and the lot over 100 feet in depth, facing on the sides
on Church and Garden streets. Both of these large
stores being corner stores, and on the inuin thor
oughfare of wholesale stores leading from the new
marble Post Ofiice to the Grand Trunk Depot, and
on a street where not a piece of improved property
is known for sale, it cannot but be regarded tiy every
business man as good an investment as could pos
sibly be made. Terms liberal
One thousand dollars required at sale. Inquire
