Maine State Temperance Cam p Meeting.
The series of meetings at the Rich mond en-
campment under the auspices Of the Kennebec
Valley Temperance CampmeetiDg Association
ended yesterday morning, and resulted in
grand success. The attendance has exceeded
that of last year, and the addresses have been
of superior quality. Much credit is due the
president and committee of the Association for
their efforts to present programme SO COM
mendable. Unusually good order has been
maintained upon the grounds and the police
men merit great praise for their faithfulness
in the discharge of duty. The showers upon
Sunday prevented the attendance OF the
immense crowd Of people who intended to have
come and the day passed very quietly.
The exercises of the day commenced with
gospel temperance meetings in the Hallowell
and Gardiner chapels. The service in the
Hallowell chapel was conducted by Mr.. G. G.
Hunt of Augusta, and was Of great interest
Many participated in the meeting, among
whom were Mr.. c. G. Hunt, Rev. D, W,
LeLacheur and r. W. Dnnu.
At 10 a. M, the people gathered in the
tabernacle for the preaching service. The
scripture lesson was read from the 37th Psalm.
Prayer was offered by Rev. W. S. Jones. Rev.
D. W. LeLacheur of Bddeford then preached
sermon from the following text: "For 1 am
not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is
the power of God unto salvation to every one
that believeth. to the Jew first aud also to the
Greek" The preacher spoke of the blessings
to the world from the gospel, aud drew a COM
parison between the gospel of our Saviour and
the gospel of temperance. God uses weak
instruments to accomplish great results in the
temperance cause as well as religion. Faith
in God will cause the massivs walls of in
temperance to fall.
A social meeting was held in the Augusta
chapel at o'clock in charge of J. K. Osgood.
Esq Many testimonies were given and it was
very interesting service.
The people re-assembed at 2 p. m., in the
tabernacle and listened to an eloquent and
able address by Mr.. A. M. Powell Of New
York, secretary of the. N National Temperance
Publication Society. He congratulated the
people upon living in state SO free from the
liquor traffic and contrasted it with New York.
He viewed the temperance question in its
| national aspect and impressed upon his hearers
| their duties as citizens of the United States
Hon. Neal Dow followed with an excellent
address upon the enormity of the crime Of
| liquor selling, and in closing read petition
which he desired to present to the Legislature
for such further pains and penalties as may be
needed to effectually crush the liquor traffic
1t was unanimously adopted as the sentiment
| of the meeting.

BEN BUTLER.

Ben Butler has been defeated, but
whatever may be thought of him 9TH
eruise, everybody must admit that he
made a gallant stand against psrty
Encouragement and corruption in
both state and national governments.
Such a bold and persistent attempt
as Buffers to organize and establish
a personal party, is one of the most
remarkable incidents Of this fills
campaign. That it was made in such
a state as Massachusetts, and against
an organization heretofore sustained
by a majority vote Of over $4,000
votes is most extraordinary. That
something Of the sort was demanded
by the political condition of the state
is demonstrated by the large num-
bers attracted to his support from
both parties. As the Republicans
have heretofore controlled both state
and national policiesS nd were there
fore responsible for condition OF
both, it was natural oen Butler's
heaviest assaults should be directed
against them. His chief attacks were
ieveled at Hayes fraudulent installa-
ton and excessive taxation, IMPROVE
dent and fraudulent expenditure, the
employment o Inexpensive commissions
and the exemption Of privileged pro-
perty and capital. He assailed all
non taxables, all corporate accumula-
tons not subject to assessment, de-
ciared that all incomes derived from
o. S. Coupons ought to contribute to
goyernmentantal support, opposed
resumption and said boldly that il
could not be maintained without re-
sort to some such financial machinery
as the Bank of England. He favored
d currency of inconvertible green
backs, but did not advocate repudia-
ton.
The campaign in Massachusetts, as
planned and conducted by Butler
was worthy of a nobler leader and
better fate. Perhaps no one else
could have inaugurated it, bat his
record civil and military suffeed to
defeat his elevation to the CHIEF mag
istracy of the land of Webster The
leaders ana organs of the Democratic
party opposed him bitterly and out
side Of Boston none Of the newspa-
pers contributed to his support Had
the Nationals assisted the Democrats
with q worthy leader acceptable to
both, the result might have been diff
ferent. Instead of sorrow and dis
comforture in their camps their might
have been rejoicing.

The next Congress will be Demo
cratic by a large majority. This re-
suit is already assured, and nothing
can avert it. The Democratic party
is the only party from which the
masses of the people have reason to
expect reformatory legislation, and
every vote that is cast at the ensuing
election for other than Democratic
candidates is q vote to put off the
day Of deliverance and bolster up the
oppressive evils in which the country
Is now involved. Independent or
third party action is an element OF
danger and delay that all good citi-
ems should resolutely discounte-
nance.
