TEMPERANCE AND POLITICS.

The r. w. G. L., at the London session,
anpointed a committee on political action,
which committee presented the Following
which was agreed to:
Resolved, That the prevailing license sys-
tern not only marks as lawfully right traffic
which divine law and past history declare to
be morally wrong, but protects the trafficker
at the expense of all other citizens, and con-
fers upon few persons the right and power
to nflict the most terrible evils upon society
! in opposition to the wishes of a large majority
of its people. That the authorization and
protection of the traffic in intoxicating drinks
by the legislative departments of the world is
a clear violation of the fundamental principle
OF all government, viz. the right of society
to protect itself. That as total prohibition is
the divine mode of treatment in dealing with
wrongs and vices of all kinds, so human plans
ought to be prohibtory on all matters which
evily affect the veal of the body polite. That
we firmly believe that absolute prohibition OF
the traffic in intoxicating drinks is the only
effective remedy against the fearful evils ln-
hicted On society by this INSCRIPTIONS source
of poverty, vice, and misery. That we will
use our best endeavors to promote prohlblto-
ry legislation on that subject in the several
communities where we live and labor. That
we will employ our privileges of franchise, in
the election to civil offices of honor and trust
only such men as will favor the enactment of
laws prohibiting the traffic in Intoxicating
beverages. That where political parties
composed Of opposing elements on the ques-
ton Of prohbitory legislation, we recommend
the support of political party distinctly and
unequivocally committed to such measures.
While the greater portion Of the above COM
mends itself to every temperance man it will
be perceived that the closing portion distinct
ly aims at Independent political organization
Upon this several leading men of the Order
are deeply intent Among these is J. A.
Spencer, one of the editors of The Prohibi.
ton Era of Ohio. This comes out in his pa.
per with the proposition to throw all the ex-
listing temperance societies to the dogs and
marshal under the banner of the Prohibition
Party. One significant fact is that this same
Spencer has just been defeated as candidate
for re- election for Sec. of II. w. S. Lodge of
Good Tempiars whose enoluments and sala
ry he has enjoyed for several years. How
ever anxious and successful he and his con-
freres may be to Dragon the Coed Templars
of other states into his plan it is evident that
the Good Templars oil Maine prefer to stand
aloof from such organization, at least at pres
ent And why shouldn't they, when they
have all they ask at the hands of the Repub-
lican Party? O. NJ. Cousins.

THE ELECTION.

The election yesterday was one OF the
most quiet ever held in the State. The
opposition to Mr.. Dingley was so faint
that there was no excitement to call out
the voters. The republicans were 50
confident their ticket would be elected,
that many failed to attend the polls; while
the democrats, weakened in courage by
internal dissensions, manifested less than
their usual spirit.
The only activity displayed in the State
was in localities where local questions
created excitement, in some cases affect
ing the county ticket and in others the
election of representatives. 1t being the
off-year, it was the time for irregular
movements to be set afoot, the ties of
party setting but loosely while national
politics were not Immediately in issue.
From this cause the republicans suffer the
loss Of representative in this city, one
of the regularly nominated republican can
didates being defeated by an irregular
candidate supported by the democrats.
The republicans suffer elsewhere in a
similar manner. 1t was the policy of
the democrats to encourage such irregu-
larities, hoping thereby to make some
small present gain, or at least to sow
disafection and disorganization, that will
grow and destroy the republican party.
To do what our enemies, political or
other, desire us to do, is not safe rule to
follow, and republicans are usually saga
eious enough to know it, but occasionally
they will get caught.
The retr.rns thus far received indicate a
majority for Mr.. Dingley of from 10000
10 1900. which is a very large majority
considering the light vote aud the I'M
favorable circumstances always attending
the off-year. 1t is considerably larger
than usual in such year, being nearly up
to the full average including Presidential
years.
The following figures show the republic
can majorities each year since 1856, when

majorities were Immediately after the close

test Of the strength of parties, and the
result was an increase of the republican

MANUFACTURES IN THE OLD TINE.
At the meeting OF the New England His

told with what eager alacrity he performed

subsequent conversion into the garment of

horse Jennie " through cold freezing wealth

My mother was quite delighted on my arrival,

time he made another journey on Jennie with
his bundle bound behind him to the cloth

tent himself with receiving promise of the
cloth in three weeks. When tina. period had
elapsed he went again. He had to wait long
time, but finally obtained his treasure and
started home. After three weeks DELAY
