Ed. liKciisTKR Dear Sir : The editor of the Democrat in issue was rather lengthy in his com meuts on the fact of J. B. Irvine attending two County Conventions, lately kid at Albany j and I sec in the Portland Evening News of this date quotations from the Dem ocrat, and savore comments on his (Irvine's) movement I also no notiml in the same issue of the News that he h: 1 hoisted his Dem ocratic banner a id raised his war cry of "Hurrah fr Grover and the democratic part," indicating,-'of course, his intent on of supporting the Democratic ticket. But, in looking through t ie columns of the Orejoidan I uolic ed that the editor of the News had t; ken a very prom inent part in an 1 idepcndent con vention held at Portland. I don't know it may be true Democracy for a man to say lie is Democratic ami is at tlie same time vigorously striving to secure the election an Independent ticket, but it looks de cidedly "spotted" to me. Jis for the editor of tlie Demo crat, when I read that article con cerning Mr. Irvine, or think of that speech he made at this place, it re minds me of a little incident that occurred here, in which Gov. L. F. Grover and Brig. Gen, M, V. Brown were prominent actors. It appears that the Bjigadier had become ac quainted with the tact that the Gov. would speak at this place on the 6th, and thinking it a rare oppor tunity to display his oratorical pow ers, he decided to accompany him. When they reached our town they found quite a crowd awaiting with feverish impatience their arrival, and the hour ot speaking. 1 he hour arrived, but as fate would have it, one of our stableman bad just succeeded in making a race for a purse ot two dollars and fifty cents, in which the contestants were a boy and a mule, who immediately repaired to the race-track, and, much lo the chagrin of the Gov. and Mart, with about two-thirds of their crowd following. But soon the Gov. got wind of it, and not to be played out m this kind ot style, left Mart in charge of the few re maining, and went himself in quest of his absent hearers. He hadn't been gone' but a short time when those remaining with Mart., think ing the Gov, wasn't going to speak, began to drop off one by one. So the Gov had not proceeded far be fore he was overtaken by Mart, and the rest of the crowd. After trav cling about a mile through the mud and water, they reached the scene of the race. The contestants were just coming m on the home stretch, and the result was in favor of the mule, who it appeared, had the most friends, and the Gov. tak ing advantage of this, informed the crowd at the top of his voice that "He had always been a friend to the mule family," aid judicious persuasion and promise of "lots of fun," succeeded in securing an au- AN INDEPENDENT.
