Notes.

The nomination of MIR. NJ. W. Fuller. to
be chief justice, is likel, to be unacted upon
until after the eight justices have gone on
their circuits. There is not the remotest
idea OF his failing of confirmation but the
judiciary committee of the Senate is very
and slow moving body. 1t did
not hurry wiih the pr, sent nomination of Mr..
Waite and it V Ill not hurry with the present
There will also be quite a live
ly discussion in the Senate when Mr. Full
ler's name comes up for confirmation.

THIRD PARTY
Convention In Session at Portland.
General Dow Berates the Republican
Party in His Characteristic Manner.

PORTLAND, May Is.
At 10 o'clock this morning the prohibition
State convention met at Congress Hall and
held private session. n. +. Woodbury. of
Auburn presided and Rev. S. F. Pearson was
secretary. 1t was voted that Colonel w. T.
Eustis, of Dixfeld. be the temporary chair
man of the convention. 1t was voted that
Volney b. Gushing preside at the Veterans
Reunion" this evening. The reports of the
chairman and secretary were submitted,
showing that the sum of s2l2 is now in the
hands of the secretary.
The committee discussed at length motion
to postpone the organization of the conven-
ton until tomorrow, on the ground that most
Of the delegates will not arrive until tomor-
row. The motion was voted down. 1t was
voted TO recommend that the next State COM
mittee consist of one member from each
county.
This afternoon at 230 o'clock the conven-
ton met in Congress hall. The attendance
was quite large, over a hundred being pres
ent including number of ladies'. When
General Dow took seat on the platform he
was greeted with applause. The convention
was opened by all singing "All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name" led by Rev. S. f.
Pearson. Rev. kinsman Atkinson offered
prayer. General Dow was introduced to
give an address of welcome. On motion of
Rev. Mr.. Pearson three cheers were given
for him. Gen. Dow said this convention
had met to oppose the republican party,
because that is the only party we have to
fear He had adhered to that party for
long time, for reason. We wanted such
legislation as would enable us to put the
grog shops down. The republicans prom
Ised to give us such legislation. When they
refused that legislation | became disgusted
and left them. | said, we will go to the
legislature with no more petitions, we will
go with our boots on. We don't find fault
with the republican party. Three-quarters
of them are prohibitionists. But their lead
ers rule them. They want to get into pow
cr. They think it is the wisest thing to do
to court the liquor sellers.
After Gen. Dow concluded, brief response
was made by n. F. Woodbury. of Auburn,
and was followed by remarks by Mrs. l.. NJ.
\. Stevens of Portland, and Mrs. l.. c.
Darlington of New York. After the APP
pointment of committees the convention
adjourned until tomorrow. This evening
public meeting was addressed by Volney b. |
Gushing of Bangor, and others.
