Mr.. Wheelwright of Bangor on
the Temperance Question.

The following letter addressed TO the editor
of the Press appeared in the columns OF that
paper yesterday
Mr. EDITOR: As statements. or rather
misstatemeI Is. are being made in relation to
the action of Gov. Davis in the appointment
of special deputies for the better enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. am led to
state what has come under my personal OBJ
servation in PenObscOt county. Early in
Nav when at Augusta both Gov. Davis and
Col. Robe of the Council expressed much
interest in it, and said if the friends of tenn
perance would send the names of suitable
men they should be appointed The name of
Col Crossman Of Bangor was sent. (whose
name alone was sufficient guarantee of its
acceptability.) He was appointed but de-
clined serving The name of ID. Clark was
then sent (He had been one of our late
faithful sheriff Jerrard's deputies, in the
special enforcement of the law and he de-
cined. Mr.. Tricky was then appointed,
but do not learn whether he will accept the
position. Gov Davis when in Bangor in
vited me personally to go with him into the
various portions of the city where liquors are
sold that he might see and Judge for him.
self of the importance and necessity of the
appointment OF special deputies; as a friend
of temperance could ask no more of a Gov
ernor than he had done. The republican
party could not afford and certainly have no
desire to select a man for our chief magis-
trate who is not fully in sympathy with the
cause of temperance. As have such Il one
in Gov. Davis, both in practice and principle,
let all true friends of temperance rally round
him, letting him know that we fully sustain
him, and re-elect him by good old fashioned
majority.

The democratic papers are claiming
Senator Davis of Illinois as a new convert
to Hancock and English. and Yet Mr.. Da-
Wis was good enough democrat in 1877
to be elected United States Senator by the
democrats of Illinois Even away back
in 1872 Judge Davis was fishing after the
democratic nomination for the Presidency
But so it is. The democrats have to &C
back six or eight years to find converts.
They would report fresher conversions il

AROOSTOOK,
J. s. WHEELwRIGHT.

The Aroostook potato crop is going to be
immense this year. The dry weather of June
did not affect them, and late rains brought
them forward very rapidly. Those brought
to market are excellent in quality, and farm
ers say yield well. The potato boom will
commence the first of September. The
time to dig potatoes is when they are ripe,
and they should not be allowed to remain in
the ground after that time. When a potato
has arrived at such stage that it is just
right 20 eat, it should be dug, placed in a
cool, dry cellar. and kept there until wanted
for use or for the market. If potatoes ar
allowed to remain in the ground after they
are ripe and the fall rains come, they viii, al
most invariably become 'soggy" and begin
to decay. -1r0ostOok Pioneer.
