The Butler boom in Boston was started on
Thursday evening last by meeting at Fanuel

demonstration and was well atten ded Among
the more notable speeches on this occasion was
that of Hon. Thomas Riley, Of Boston, who
said

Political Prophecy.

Sometime last year we received for review Il
little pamphlet entitled :" 81 A Political Reve-
lation.' The opening chapters gave "A review
of the political parties with their records in
1888. Succeeding chapters contained lists of
the Republican and Democratic candidates for
the Presidency. the drift of opinion, and the
proceedings Of the two National Conventions.
The statements as to the relative strength of
the several candidates were surprisingly ac-
curate. Mr.. Blaine's position and candidacy
are truthfully stated as if the book had lust
been written. In the proceedings given of the
National Convention in this book. Mr.. Blaine
Is nominated on the second ballot by vote of
543; and AT Chicago he WAS nominated on the
fourth ballot by a vote Of 541. This is pretty
good guessing. The pamphlet gives also a
pretty accurate sketch of the Chicago PLATFORM
We doubt If the pamphlet is as accurate in its
forecast of the Democratic National Conven-
ton. 1t gives the nomination to Benz. H.
Butler on the 4th ballot, and describes the eX-
citing scenes which followed the announce
ment by the chair Zone of the Alabama dele
gates, who had evidently lost his head jumped
on the platform and shouted: Southern dele
gates who protest against this outrage follow
me- Half dozen rose to their feet, but a
mighty shout of Shame. Traitors from the
voices of 500 delegates and 1000 spectators
made them sink back again disgraced and
abashed. Springing to his feet Henry Waiter
son moved to make the nomination unanimous
and in ringing speech pledged the kentucky
Democracy to stand by the Saviour of Massa-
chnsetts,' etc. As to that We shall see-next
week.

independent journalism

The Boston Herald of Saturday morning says
editorially: EXC overnor Pasted has given
his word to the Portland Argus that Mr. Blaine
wrote the notorious Madgan circular, used in
the 4th Maine district in 1915, and that he saw
him write it," The Herald publishes this
statement with a full knowledge OF its falsity.
A despatch from the Herald's Augusta corre-
spondent, published some days earlier, contain
ed what purported to be history Of this cir
cular and included an interview with Plaisted
in which, among other things, he denied having
seen Mr.. Blaine write the circular. And in his
paper, the New Age, of last week, Plaisted
says: sit is not true that we ever said we
saw Mr.. Blaine write the circular as stated"
In the face of these denials the Herald reter-
ates its slanderous assertions. This is dirty
business. A man capable of resort to such
weapons would not hesitate to steal the coppers
from the eyes of corpse or to snatch the
bread from the mouth of a starving person.
This is specimen of the reform the Herald
breaches and of so-called independent Journal
ism. 1t is enough to put the Police Gazette to
the blush, and to excite the contempt of
Digger Indian. -

An American President and Policy

The dude organs are endeavorng to frighten
the people by telling them that if Mr.. Blaine is
elected President he will plunge this country
into foreign war. Ii they expect to ensure
Mr.. Blaine's defeat by such talk as this they
are greatly mistaken. The American people
do not scare worth a cent When the popula-
ton of this country was less than three mil
lions the War of independence was successful
ly fought against the most powerful nation of
Europe; and in 1872 war was declared against
Great Britain in defence of the FLAG and com
merce of the young Republic. One of the
points in dispute was the right of search on
board of American vessels, and although it is
not mentioned in the treaty of Ghent "the
bravery and success OF the United States navy
had virtually settled that dispute and no further
trouble ever arose about it, Our dearly bought
experience III the war Of the rebellion. during
which We're fought the greatest battles of mod
ern times, has given us the material for an
army and navy able to meet any emergencies
which may arise. There is however, no
reason to apprehend that they Will ever he
called upon, unless by pursuing cowardly and
TO offences against our flag and the citizens it
should protect both at home and abroad. If
this country stands upon its rights and main
tains lis proper dignity Nation il can
afford no preteXt for a foreign war, and it is
as much the interest Of other nations as OF
our own to maintain peaceful relations. SO
much for that phase of the question.
As for the silly camor about MI. Blaines
beliSertnt purposes il has no foundation what
ever. 1t is simply evolved from the inner con
sciou>ness OF inscriptions and un-American
scribblers, and is negatved by Mr.. BIaines
record, which is open to the world where all
may read it. His dispatches relating to the
proposed peace conference of South American
nations in Washington, and kindred matters.
his reference to the foreign po icy of the Gar
field administration in his memorial address.
his fuller explanation of it in Il letter published
i'll Chicago periodical, Sept. 1882, and his
ideas concerning our foreign policy as express
ed in his book, Twenty years i Congress" all
show that Mr.. Blaine's purpose i, and mas been
to secure closer relations with our continental
neighbors with The commercial advantages that
would naturally follow such I relationship
That the American people approved Of Air.
Biane's policy While Secretary of State and
viewed its abandonment with great regret,
there can be no doubt, and, moreover, we be

election in November next. The American
people want an American President.

The Amendment Campaign

10 THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Last Satur-
day night had the privilege of attending a tenn
perance meeting held under the auspices of Rescue
lodge, L. o. of c. L. for the discussion and slppor
of the prohibitory amendment | supposed. of
course, that all the members of the lodge especial
ly the officers, were decidedly in favor of the
amendment, bnt was surprised to find that all were
not AT least, when one of the principal officers
of the society states that "the prohibitory amend
ment Is a Fraud and that he believes in Il high H.
cense,' think | have good reasons for the state
meetings to be held for the advancement of the
cause" WHAT we need in this place in order to
carry the amendment are able speakers who un
derstand the question thoroughly, the meetings to
be held i'll some place large enough to accommo
date ali those who would like TO attend Without
this is done the amendment will meet with decided
opposition here this fall. AS for my position |
will state here that am for the amendment first
last and every time. Not that believe ii will aid
much in suppressing the liquor traffic. but believe
that with its rejection comes the annihilation of
the prohibitory law, as | understand it, There is
one thing certain. 1t can do no harm. 1t may do
good. But If 1t does not pass, temperance in Maine
Will receive harder blow than il has ever before
received And every man (if he be true temper-
ance mani whether he be Republican, Democrat
or Greenbacker, will do all in his power for the
support of the amendment next September.
