wisdom of this measure was questioned by
some of the NEST earnest friends of temper
ance in the State and it was in no sense the
expression of the temperance men of Maine.
Possibly there had been unnecessary delay
on the part of the Governor and Council in
the appointment of special constables; there
may be cause of complaint; but these gentle
men shoudn not be condemned unheard. Let
temperance men investigate this matter in
common-sense way and if the Governor and
council shall be found untrue TO prohibition
then they justly deserve censure
-, referring to the Augusta convention Major
Shorey was willing to believe there was some
cause OF complaint but not that mob of
one thousand Republicans, led by Republican
officer holders had attempted to bulldoze the
temperance men. Every man who took part
IN that convention who was total abstinence
man had as much right there as Gen. Dow,
whether . "Republicau office holder or an
aspirant for official honors in the Prohibitory
party; every other man there was an interloper
and no man or set of men in the State of Maine
could afford to condone such unwarranted
proceedings.
As may be judged from the report the dis
cussion was exceedingly spicy, but everybody
was good natured and courteous and the pro-
ceedings not at all disorderly.

Dr. Banks needs no other introduction to
our readers than the simple announcement
that he is the "Sancho Pedro of the Travel

quaintance with him began about three years
ago, and he has since been a. most acceptable
contributor in prose and verse, though often
anonymously. He graduated with first honors
at Dartmouth, in 1877, and has been two
years in practice in Portland, his native city;
is an active member of various medical socie-
ties, and author of many valuable medical
and historical monographs. The Fisk Fund
prize of $500 was awarded him by the Rhode

era Infantum," in competition with physicians
in all parts of the United States. Recently,
after severe competitive examination, he
has been appointed an assistant surgeon in the
United States Marine Service, and ordered to
San Francisco, to be stationed at the Marine

follow him and his bride to his far western

morrow morning at 10 o'clock, and the indca-
lions are that this will be the most largely at
tended and successful gathering ever held up

'ly filling with guests and the private and soce-
ty tents are becoming occupied. Many improve
ments are noticed in the appearance of the

new apparatus for lighting the grounds, the
painting of the speakers stand and repairing

nine cottages have been erected in the vicini-
ty of the camp ground, and several are in
process of erection. The store connected with
the camp ground has been remodeled and is

elton, who intends to use a portion of the
builing for restaurant where lunches may be

serves.

The Nomination for Sheriff.

1t is understood that Eben N. Perry will not
be candidate for sheriff in the convention
not wishing to complicate matters The feel
ing is gaining ground among leading Republi
cans that to ensure success in the election
and secure a man thoroughly competent for
sheriff it would be better to take suitable
man who is not and has not been candidate
and nave an entire new deal. This suggestion
may be worthy of consideration by progressive
Republicans who desire the real success of the
