Names Great Issue.
To the Editor Renne5ec Journal:

To the Editor Renne5ec Journal;
l. it not time that the people of Maine
were fully aroused to the magnitude and vi
talty of the pending issue on constitutional
prohibition! No question Of equal moment
has ever been submitted to the sufrages of
your citizens. 1t is question that affects the
intelligence and industry, the manners and
morals, the health and happiness, the prop
erty and life of the whole State for all time
Compared with this, the presidential cam
paign and all other political issues should be
regarded as secondary.
The grand opportunity has come. The
citizens of Maine never before had the priyi-
lege Of voting on the question now submitted
Twenty-six years have elapsed since they
confirmed the action of the legislature in
adopting statutory prohibition. Most of the
men who voted for that measure are now
dead A new generation has come up Do
the present inha bitants of Maine believe in
prohibition? The world has a right t. know,
and the world has a special interest in know
ing.
Statutory prohibition is good, but not good
enough. 1t should not be accepted as a final
itv. 1t is all the while trembling in an I'M
settled balance-huttering in the breezes of
uncertainty, We want constitutional prohi-
bition. This will remove 1t from the control
Of capricious legislation, and stamp it with
greater permanency. 1t il morally certain
that the law will also become more effective.
Every legislature, irrespective Of party com
plexion, thus becomes pledged to sustain it
The people will take deeper interest in their
own law. The public sentiment generated by
the campaign will give the whole matter a
new impulse. The enemies of prohibition
will weaken over their defeat, and their hope
of repeating the law will perish.
The pending issue is really between pro-
hibiton and license. This invests it with un-
told solemnty and Importance. Maine, from
this time, will have either a better law or a
worse one. If the amendment is defeated, the
whole world will decide that Maine does not
believe in prohibition. All efforts to enforce
the present law will thenceforth be paralyzed,
and the law itself will soon give place to a
wretched license law. This will be dread
full leap toward barbarsm 1t will be drap-
ing the whole temperance world in mourning
An overwhelming victory, on the other
hand, will be an inspiration to temperance
workers everywhere. Maine is fighting a
battle for the whole country. Millions of
hopes will rise or fall with the pending issue
How important, then, that your State should
glow with light and burn with holy enthus-
asm on this vital. question. Let the pulpit
and the platform ring with facts, Arguments
and resi>tless appeals. Let the State be
flooded with telling literature Let all the
papers become earnest agi,ators and powerful
educators, huring their thunders against the
internal liquor traffic and helping to bury it
beyond the hope of a resurrection.

PORTLAND, Me-, July Z.
Mr.. John Boyle Reilly: In the Pilot of

count of the manner in which the Madigsn
circular was issued, also editorial comments
based | presume, on the same, severely de-
nouncing Mr.. Blaine for issuing it. You
would not. feel sure Intentionally do Mr.
Blaine or any other political opponent an in
justice; | therefore respectfully call YOUR at
tention to what believe 10 be the true facts
OF the case luclosed. please find an edto-
rial from Gov, Plsisted's paper, the New
Age; also an excerpt from the Boston Jour
nal. which probably you have seen. By the
former YOU will observe that Gov. Plaisted
does not accuse Mr.. Blaine of issuing the cir
cular, but intimstes that it was issued by Mr.
Msdigan or his friends. Was ever an insinua
ton more base or infamous? The account
from the Boston journal is, as it seems TO
me. clear. and will convince you that Gov
Plaisted. and not Mr.. Blaine, was the author
of the circular.
II 1878, when the circular was issued Gov
Plaisted was candidate for Congress against
Mr.. Madigan. He was then a republican.
and of most virulent aud bigoted stripe.
He alone could reap any benefit from the cir
cular in question. At that time the Portland
Argus and Bangor Commercial accused him
of being the author of it, and he did not deny
IT. On the stump in 1850, when he was
running for Governor on the democratic
ticket, accused him of issuing the circular,
aud he did not deny it. In 1875, when the
circular was issued, why did not Gov. Plsisted

The republicans appear to be happier
over the nomination OF Cleveland than the
democrats are. Their countenanccs bright
encd rs soon rs the result of the second
ballot was announced. They felt that the
convention did good days work for
Blaine and Logan when it named Cleve-
land as its choice. Our exchanges an
nounce the same state of feeling existing
in the localities where they are published.
Republicans generally felt before the con-
veution as Hon. John c. New of the Nat
ional committee expressed himself: My
own hope is that Cleveland will be nomi-
mated. He is the weakest man in the par
ty. Blaine will win If the democracy puts
up its very strongest candidate, but if
Cleveland is nominated Blaine will have

this day TO election. with Cleveland in the
dim distance. There is tremendous SEN
timent throughout the country among the
wage workers against Cleveland. know
that he has the support of some of the in
dependents. but he will lose hundreds of
voters where he will gain one from this
class. The republican party could not
ask for greater blessing than Cleveland's
nomination, and am looking hopefully
to see it done" Now that the nomination
is made they have not changed their
opinion. that Clevelsud's nomination is the
best tor the republicans that the democrats
could have made.

A Few Reasons why the Augusta, Maine
Edition VIII Outsell All Others
Ten to One.

lst Because il is the authentic edition published
from Augusta, the home Of Blaine, and has had the
advantage OF the most complete knowledge OF his
whole life.
ID Because Mr. Blaine and his friends oo-operat-
ed with the author and publishers in order that =
work might be most complete and correct IN all
particulars.
Sd Because Col Conwell is better fitted for writ
ing such volume than any other man in America;
all his earnestness, knowledge, and ability will be
found in the volume.
4th. Because in its manufacture it is the largest,
best, and handsomest book ever published for the
price that it is sold for. Let one think of work
ing for any other edition; never do for one dollar
what you can just well receive $1,000 for; you can
sell ten books of the Augusta edition where YOU
would hardly sell one of any other.
5th Because our volume is a pictorial biography,
and illustrates the most interesting scenes in the
life of the candidate. Our volume is spleudidly
illustrated.
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
of the early life OF the distinguished statesman ands
familiar with the career of the boy and youth, from
the statements OF those still living there, who knew
him them this is an intensely interesting portion of
TERRITORY.

Murat lIalstead of the Cincinnati Ga

lack of enthusiasm. Why, all the cheer

does not amount to one Blaine yell. There
are bands of music, with uniformed clubs
paradng, and they are wOetully lacking
in spirit. When three cheers for some
candidate are called for. there is slight
squeal. The music is poor The bands
rattle off dancing tunes and solemn march
