The drouth Is more severe than al any time dur
lnss the past summer Wells are giving out
brooks run dry, and cisterns are empty Pro
gresSive Age.
All true. There is a terrible lack OF
water in our city, and buildings are as
dry as finder We are midway in date
between the great August and October
fires Of 1865 and 1873 the season OF
strong, dry northerly gales. What would
happen if Il fire should start in such a
gale, with dry cisterns and reservoirs :
Simply a repetition Of the preceding
great fires. And vet the Age insists that
the city does not want better water
supply How different would be the
feeling, if there was water in abundance,
with i pressure sufficient to carry it to
the tops of the highest buildings.

The County of Knox, ever since it's for
nation, has had one of the best, if not
the best and most thorough Democratic
organizations in Maine The county is
compact, accessible and in the best shape
for preparation for a political contest.
The towns Of Camden, Appleton, Cush-
ing, Friendship, ST George, Thomaston
and Warren have large Democratic ma
jorities, controlled by reliable men in each,
who do not suffer their organizations to
fall into disuse. There is an energetic
minority in Rockland, which in favorable
years has carried the city. And-in the
county, as a whole, there is a legitimate
Democratic majority of from four to six
hundred. The party has a shrewd and
clear headed adviser in Edmund Wilson
| OF Thomaston, and safe counsellors in
Gould, Moore and O'Brien. Likewise in
Rice, John Bird, Bryant and others of
Rockland. Mr. Martin of Camden, the
member OF the State Committee, is cap
ltal organizer, and aided by such men as
| Carleton and Cushing, can bring out the
large Democratic majority of Camden to
the last man. Capt. Spaulding Of South
ThomastOn, Matthews of Warren. and
Walker of Ninalhaven are each men of
great efficiency. 1t was the determine
ton OF these men and their associates
that the Democratic vote ShOMd come out,
that brought it out, and carried the
county.
The Democratic vote OF Knox county
was not so large in 1877 as in 1876, fall
ing Oft 7l2 But the Republican vote fell
OFF still more, being 1850 less than last
year. The difference between the Dem
ocratic and Republican shrinkage is 54l
just about the Democratic majority OF
this year SO the county was carried by
hard work, aided by u thorough organ
ization devoted to getting out the Dem
ocratic vote.
In Waldo County, on the other hand,
the organization and work was wi tn the
Republicans, who brought out their vot-
ers, and held their majority up to the 500
Of last year. Save in few localities, the
Democratic county organization showed
no Nigor, no work, and no results. There
is a lesson to be learned from this COM
palison.
