none is moro anxious, nor would concede
more than ourself; but NEVER will we,
as an individual member of the grand
old Democracy yield return of absolute
power, to the Ignorant and vicious ne
gro. The lesson of negro supremacy is
yet too wildly before our mind for it to
have, for US, no fear. Justice like many
others, seems to be laboring under the be-
lief that the Democratic party has pledg-
ed to the negro unqualified privileges in
it's deliberations. "That there shall be
no violence or intimidation exercised to-
wards such of our colored citizens
as may wish to cooperate with us for the
redemption of the State from mistru1e !"
and guarantee for the protection of
their rights under the Constitution, are
the only pledges we are aware of ever
having been made the negro by the DEM
ocracy. and if any others were made who
made them and by what authority? 1t
was favorite custom for the Radi-
cal party to place ignorance over intelli-
gence for party purposes, but rather than
see this contingency arise, to perpctuate
Democratic rule, may the organization
perish beyond the hope resurrection.

In the afternoon addresses were made by
chairman Bell, DR.. Buzzell, B. S. Kelley of
winthrop, and Alden Chase
Gen. Neal Dow presented an address "to the
temperance people of the world" which was
unanimously adopted.
Dr. Buzzell from the committee on resolu-
tons, presented the following, which were
adopted:
Hesotced, That, being of the number who 28
years ago voted for the enactment of our glori-
Gus Maine liquor law, and having carefully OBJ
served its working and results, we have seen
no reasons in view of its practical operation and
wonderful success, in suppressing the liquor
trafnc in this state, to impair, but to strengthen
our faith and confidence in the expediency,
lustlce and absolute necessity of rigid pro-
hlpltory liquor law. And we earnestly recon-
mend to the friends of temperance and hui
manly in other states to labor for the enact
ment of similar law
ReSotced, That we firmly believe that the
sovereign people of a state have the same
moral and constitutional right to prohibit by
intoxicating liquors, as they have to prohibit
prevent any other crime against the peace,
saiety and welfare of society,".
heSolced, That we heartily approve of both
moral and legal suasion in carrying forward
tne temperance enterprise, and we bid God
speed to the Good Templars, Reform Clubs,
ana every other organization calculated to re-
form the lnebriate, and protect society," by the
suppression OF the liquor traffic against the
evils which inevitably result from its sale.

The Drowning Accident at South Pari,

The Drowning Accident at South Paris.
There was an error crept into our yesterday s
statement in reference to the drowning of the
son of Mr.. H. N. Bolster of South Paris. The
accident occurred Saturday not Sunday. The
Lewiston Journal of yesterday gives the fol-
lowing account:
Saturday afternoon, Capt H. n Bolster and
family attended funeral, and on their return
felt no alarm at the absence of their little son,
five and half years of age, supposing him to
be at play in the village. At tea time he did
not return and search was made. AS the twi-
light waned the church bells were rung and a
large party went out with lanterns 1t was
found that about half-past three the Bolster
boy, with two others, bought fish hooks. But
one of the lads then with him was found, and
he seemed unable from fright to explain what
occurred. Following down the river, they
found where the lads had been fishing at a
large rock, shelving off towards the river.
Appearances indicated that the boy had slip
ped off and caught on the root of a fallen tree
in the river few feet below and drowned.
The deceased was a bright boy, favorite in
the village, and the family have the sympathy
of the whole community in their bereave-
ment.
