The Prohibition County Convention.

On Wednesday las, convention was held
in this city which was denominsted the con-
vention Of the prohibtionis;s Of Hancock
County. Heretofore We have supposed tina,
the friends Of prohibition in Hancock coun-
ty might be numbered BY thousands. bat in
this convention there we're just six from out
Of town. and not more than twenty five in
all. One Of two things must b. true either
the prohibitionisis q Hancock county
mus, BE- very small in numbers, or else the
attendants on this convention did not repre-
sent the prohibi,ioni.,s Of the oouniyi and
the same is true Of al the third party meet,
ings which have been held in this State.
For instance al a wass meeting T.oeutly
held al waierville fifteen men we're reported
in attendance.
We believe that the true prohibiiionis,s
in Maine number MANY thousands. and that
among their representative men may be
named Arson 7 Morril. Nelson Dingley.
Jr.. Seldom Conner. Sidney Perham. II. \.
Shorev. John l. Stevens. T. X. SimoniOn,
y. b. Mutt, and nearly all Of the olergymen
IN the State We are Of the opinion, too.
that the real temperance men Of the State
prefer to follow such champions Of temper
anoe as Ex-Governor D.ngley Endorsed by
thousands. than TO become disciples Of
handful Of third party sdveu,urers who,
whether they mean il or not, are an annex
of the democratic part, and co-laborers with
the saloonis,s and liquor dealers.
Gen Neal Dow was advertised 10 speak
here las; Wednesda, evening. but failed TO
appear The language of the bills which an
nounced his proposed lecture was most
significant; He was advertised to show
why temperance men could no longer
vote with the republicans. WHY not
democrats as well as republicans For the
very reason that the third party. as has been
well SAID, is an annex Of the democratic
party whose boosted mission is "to kill the
republican party.
Personally We respect the followers and
friends Of this new movement, but we think
the, have made sad mistake politically in
their efforts TO promote temperance.
