graceful proceeding against Maurice Smith. Be-
ing radical in his views, he pitched into rumsellers
forcibly. He then ventured . TRADE against
prayer, and said he had been praying for twenty
five years, and did not believe one prayer had
been answered. If he had spent Is much time

would have been better OF. (Applause.) If any

so. A large number of roughs begun stamping
and making more demonstrations. The president

Alma Locals.
The Reform club of Damariscotta and Newcas.
tie is now enjoying renewed interest. This club
was rsorganized about 10 months ago and has now
several hundred members enrolled on its pledge
Two weeks ago President stetson sent in his res
ignation as presiding officer, to the proper
committee. At the next meeting, which was held
in the vestry of the Congregational church, the
committee was unable to report, ~ no action had
been taken. So they were allowed another week.
The next meeting was held last Monday evening
at the Baptist vestry, when the report of the
committee was given. The report was that the
committee had carefully considered the matter
and had counscled among themselves; and that,
a. there had been Q great interest manifested 81
the last meeting, it would be . great hindrance
both to the club and to ell concerned; and. %
everything was in prosperous condition, they
mended asking the President to withdraw
his resignation. President Stetson said that be
had hoped that he should be released from his po-
sition, as he felt that there were other members
of the club that were better qualified than be
was There was great deal of work that had
been thrown upon the shoulders Of the pre-
siding officer that might, in many cases, have
been avoided. The club was enjoying las il
seened) u new life q time of prosperity. He
wan ed to see this degree Of interest manifested
until the villages of Dsmariscotta and Newcastle
should have none of the "fring up" fepd, and il
shall have been quenched forever in this locality
In his mind, if all of the members of the club
would say so, the traffic could be cleaned out in
three months time. In concluding his speech, he
said that for these reasons he would consent to
serve them by filing the chair until the next an
nivsrsary Of the club. if at that time the Presi-
dental committee would bind themselves to re-
lease him. The chairman Of the committee said
that if at that time it should be found necessary,
he would labor for the election of somebody else
for that position. The presiding officer then rose
and said that if at the close Of the meeting there
Sd ould be any that would go forward and sign the
pledge, he should consider it Gods bidding
to serve Q while longer. At the close Of his re-
marks q large number present went forward
some that had never signed, some that had signed
and broken. This clab has received . call from
the citizens Of Nobleboro' to come to that place
and organize . club, but on account of the in
terest that has been manifested lately it is thought
to be impossible now. But there is no doubt that
at an early day the club will improve the opPer-
| tunity. thus goes on the work of reform. We
do not mean the kind Of "reform" thai
Samuel J. Tilden has been skulking under, that
he might get to be President of this vast republic
No SHAM" with US in this matter, we can assure
you. The next meeting will be held At the vestiy
of the Methodist church, next Monday.
