Massachusetts on,ProhibitIsts

BosToE. Sept. 20.-The prohibition stft
convention met to-day. James II. Roberts,
the temporary chairman, made a short adj
dress, saying that Robinson was in favor OF
| the present license law and could not repre-
sent the prohibitionists; the republicans
had gone from prohibition to license, and
1, their nomination yesterday was made by
about 800 men, who are republicans or
democrats. Just as they happen To leei.
George M. Buttrick was elected permanent
president. He reviewed the case of prohibit
ton and the recent manner IN which that
party had been described by the declara-
tioDs Of the leading parties, the republicans
coming in for large portion OF his censure
He predicted the ultimate success Of prohi-
bition, which was the sole remedy for the
evils which threaten the city and state.
A letter was read from Rev. A. A. Miner,
in which he said there is prospect of a
more open abandonment OF temperance pro-
iession on the Part OF our republican
friends than ever before, and this ought to
be followed by an equally open abandon
ment OF that party by every true patriot In
this state.
Burgess, of Worcester. moved that the
convention make no nomination for gov
ernor; the convention Just held had nom
mated a candidate entirely unexceptiona-
ole. and around him the prohibitionists
should rally. The motion, after a sharp
debate, was lost. Charles Almy, of New
Bedford, was then nominated for governor.
The ticket was completed. Resolutions
were presented declaring for equal political
rights for both sexes. civil service
reform, protection Of American industries,
The suppression Of the liquor traffic and
the disfranchi-ement Of liquor dealers. TIE
last sentiment was modified. The resolu-
tons were adopted and the convention adj
jOurDed.
