GOVERNOR DINGLEY.

At the Capitol, to-day, NELSON DlNU-
LEY JR. will be inaugurated Governor
of the State of Maine, the twenty-siXth
Governor since the formation OF the state,
four of whom however Were not elected
bv the people, but assumed the duties Oh
the office by virtue of holding the position
of the Presidency OF the Senate when va
cancies in the office of Governor occurred.
From William King in 1920 to Nelson
Dingley in 1874, the roll OF the names OF
our Governors is one of which our citizens
NAV Justly be proud. The name that Is
added to-day will we are confident be rs
honored in the future as any that precedes
it on the list of Chief Executives.
Mr.. Dingley was born in Durham IN
Androscoggin county, and is now forty
one years of age. in full aud vigorous
manhood. He is literally educated being
a graduate of Dartmouth college in the
class of 10. After leaving college he
pursued the study of the Law, and was
admitted to the Bar, but being more in
clincd to the pursuit of journalism than
the practice of the profession for which he
had fitted himself. he became, III 1906, one
of the propretors and chief editor OF the
Lewiston Journal. with which his name is
now connected. In business Mr.. Dingley
has been hard worker and a successful
one, toiling early and late. negleeting
none of the duties and cares that pertain
to the calling which he adopted.
But while Mr.. Dingley has been "dili-
gent in business he has always taken a
large interest in political and other public
affairs. He was one of the first members
of the republican party, one OF the sin
cerest believers in the justice aud truth OF
the principles which it proclaimed. Hav-
ing deep convictions of the evils Of in
temperance and the blessings of temper
ance he has been a prominent and judicious
advocate of the latter, speaking his
sentiments boldly in public meetings and
living up TO them in private. sometimes
being reproached as radical on the one
hand and sometimes AS too conservative
on the other, but pursuing an even, con
sistent, sensible course. His abilities for
public station were early recognized by
his friends and the people amongst whom
he had his Immediate residence, and thus
we find that he has had long and active
experience in the legislature, having
served six terms in the House, the first
being in '62, the last in 10, and two terms
of the period as Speaker. Holding places
upon the most important committees, par
ticipating in all important debates, he has
been brought into practical knowledge
of and the most intimate relations with
legislative movements and all State af-
fairs. so that his training for the position
of Chief Magistrate has been the best he
could possibly have. lie was nominated
at the republican State Convention in
June by very decisive majority, after
sharp canvass with able and popular
competitors. and elected in September by
nearly eleven thousand majority. Able,
experienced, and honest, Mr. Dingley will
take rank among the best Governors OF
Maine. May his term be one OF peace
and prosperity to the State.

The announcement Of q meeting TO be
held In DR.. Reid'S church, Seventh Ave
nue., this evening, was then made, after
which q general consultation was held
and the meeting adjourned.
A night meeting was held at Wesley
Chapel, at which several jealous speeches
were made by ladies. Among them Mrs.
I'LL said that she was "inexpressibly hap.
Py, not because oI the arrests made du-
ring the day, but because, as q result Of
the arrests, public opinion was being
moulded in favor Of the temperance
cause" @.
1.-THE authorities said they were vio-
lating the law, but they were moving
along In obedience to higher lRw-the di:
vine law. She eulogizsd Mrs Black,
who at the beginning Of the late war
sent forth two sons To do battle for their
country, and to-day their bones lay
mouldering In Southern soil, and now, at
the opening Of this pdf she was giving
her 0oR energies 10 carry 1t forward,
She thought Il shameful that woman
who had done go much for her country
should be arrested on the streets Of one Of
AmeriSa's largest cities, not even pro-
tected by the American flag. She
closed her remarks in the following Ian.
guage: ! see In the future a glorious
day, ahead, but / see q dark stream
which our weary feet must cross, Let Us
go forward to victory"
Rev. NJ. W. Dallas was opposed 10 the
woman Movement" at first, but was
converted under fire." and was now
doing all he could to help them. He
thought no great moral reformation was
crowned with success until there was sui.
fering among It's advocates.
At the close Of the speeches a vote
was taken to ascertain how many would
volunteer to go out on the street on Sat-
urdsy, which was not responded 10 as
was expected.
To the question, "How many will pray
for the success Of the women at nine
o'clock Saturday morningG" almost the
entire audience rose to their feet.
There was intense interest throughout
the entire proceedings, and the meeting
did not adjourn until after ten o'clock,
