of our people; for, under its benign in
fiuence, the numberof tipplers is stead
lily decreasing, and fewer young men
begin to drink than when licensed hous-
es gave respectability to the habit.
There are but few people who keep liq-
or in their houses for private use, and
there is no indication that the number
of them has increased since the traffic
was prohibited.
This law is as readily enforced as are
! the laws against gambling, licentious-
hess, and others of similar character.
I In every instance, the prosecution for
selling liquer without license, has been
successful when there was the proper
proof. There is, mquestionably great
er difficulty i'll proving this offense than
many others, because the business OF
buying and selling whisky contrary to
law is more demoralizing than most
other criminal habits. The man who

am greatly mistaken there are good
many delegates in this Convention
who place theirown ease and conven-

to the public. There are a good many
others who do not intend there shall

Notwithstanding the Threatening as

about nine o'clock, the morning train
from Bellows Falls depositing the con-
tents of six well crowded cars about
fifteen minutes later, and the mail tram
from the north arriving about noon With
eight car loads more. The express, an
hour or so later, had eight extra crowd

Early the town was all hustle and stir,
and strains of music were waited III all

At camp all was life, the boys applying

Vast crowds of people visited the camp,
and iollity OF all kinds abounded.
