The Boston Globe cannot conceal its
delight at the work OF the so-called temper

and declares tina, 'the prohibitionists make
Plalsteds election sure by the selection of
J. h. Osgood."
The Albany Journal saws ii Maine doesn't
come down hard ON the GArcelon Statistical
ers IN September she doesn't deserve place
on the map Of New England. 1t is a sim
pie matter of honesty. These Democratic
pirates stand before the whole country.
Even the leaders OF their own party in other
localities do not countenanee them. They
should be eliminated from politics.
The Biddeford tnion and Journal saws ::
While we are in full sympathy with and will
earnestly support any measure from which
we see the likelihood Of the least advance
ment Of the temperance cause, we are not
in sympathy with the action of the Temper
ance Convention held in Portland Thursday.
We fail TO see the leas, good which can re-
suit from voting for Mr.. Osgood or Col.
Stone. Temperance Republicans will do
well to ask themselves what good they will
accomplish If by their separate action they
should put the Democracy in power.
Rev. W. F. Eaton, of Cape Elizabeth,
who took an active part in opposition TO the
nomination Of Gen. Anderson, and was
prominent in the Congress Hall convention
OF straight greenbackers," attended the
temperance ~ convention Of Thursday and
voted for the resolution 10 eensure Gov. Da-
Wis. Mr. Eaton has on several occasions ex-
pressed a want Of confidence in Gov. Davis.
For instance, when he voted against him
last year, anu again, when he took an active
part in the Plaisted convention al Bangor
Portland Press.
-Harper's Weekly says The Democrat.
&c party by suppressing the colored vote
makes 'solid South" and We are asked to
give the Government into the hands OF that
'.solid South because to do so will concil-
late ii. and not TO do so is sectional hate.
In this situation, which is that offered to US
by the Democratic party, We are glad to re-
call the senteltious wisdom Of village
philo,opher-"The American people are not
fool"
