THE PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN.


A Prohbitionist writes to the Journal as
follows: The Prohibitionsts will open their
campaign in this State early in August. 1t is
thought by some that Mr.. Aaron Clark who
has been nominated for Governor will inspire
no enthusiasm. Col. w. 7. Eustis of Dixfeld
has been nominated for Congress in the second
district, and Timothy G. Hcrsey Of North
Berwick in the first district. 1t is stated that
Nolney B. Cushing of Bangor will be the
Prohibition candidate for Congress in the fourth
district The Prohibitionists of the Third
Congressional District are to hold their con-
vention about the first of August at Waterville.
Prof. +. W. Gowen of Freedom is strongly
favored as Il candidate for Representative to
Congress- Prof. l.. c. Batcman Of Searsmont
i also talked of. He believes in the principles
of prohibition and was present at the PrOhibi-
ton State Convention at Portland. 1t is said
that some of the Democratic Prohibitonists in
kennebee county are in favor of endorsing
Hon. j. +. Ladd the Democratic candidate
They claim that he is a true temperance man
and was elected Mayor of Gardiner by the
Temperance and labor vote.
c. Thornton Libby, of Portland, Secretary of
the Prohibition State Committee, has written
Prof. Gowen long letter asking if he does
not think Ladd would do for Congress, and if
he would Use his influence for him. Prof.
Gowen in reply says, among other things:
"What little influence may have this fall will
not be given for a man who was nominated for
Congress in this 3rd district few days ago by
party which plainly says it is not in favor of
but it will be given for that man
who lures to express himself rightly on the
question of home against the saloon. Glad

When the Brunswick Telegraph says that
the journal ''disbelieves in free ships and Of
fers not a statistic, not word even as an argll>
ment in opposition to buying foreign ships" it
says what every reader of this paper knows to
be untrue, and what the editor of the Telegraph
must know to be deliberate falsehood. In
this respect, however, the Telegraph is but the
echo of Capt John Goldman. the free ship lob
byist. and statistics or arguments in behalf Of
an American industry would be alike wasted
upon men of this stamp. The Brunswick
Telegraph has succeeded in placing itself on
record as in favor of buying foreign built
ships and thus destroying our Shipbuilding in
dnstry, and it may safely be left to the tender
mercies of our Maine people whom it would
sacrifice to benefit the British shipbuder.

for himself and followers. says they were dis
appointed because IIamlin was not nominated
as he is not pronounced tempe 'ance man
and it would have been easy to get votes
against him. OF the Republican candidate he
says: ''Rodwcll himself is temperance man: :
and will no doubt get the votes of many strong
prohibitioni>ts." Elsewhere Mr.. Dow says
''BodWell will undoubtedly be elected" Thus
it appears the Dow party wanted the Republi-
cans to nominate n man not in accord with the
temperance sentiment Of that party. but hay
ing nominated Il temperance man Dow and his
followers propose by putting third candidates
in the field to work in the interest of the
