Waldo County Prohibitory Convention.

The Prohibitionists of Waldo county held
a convention Friday at Pierces Parlor
Theatre There was but small number in
attendance. At the opening of the conven-
ton rain began to fall, but a little cold water
ought not to dampen the ardor OF the pro-
hlbltlonists. 1t was noticeable, and comment
ed upon, that while the convention was held
in our city not delegate from Belfast was
present. 1t was asked where they We're, and
the answer was that they had all gone over
to the Peoples Party.
At go the convention was called to order
by John r. Frohock of Lincolnville, chair
man OF the county committee. The Bangor
Prohlbitory quartette, composed of Messrs.

vile: i-ihbells Jones. of Brooks and Samuel
! Miller. of Searsmont. We're made a commit
tee to present a list Of candidates for county
officers.
While the committee was absent Mr.. j. F.
Googins, of Searsmont, addressed the con-
vention. He said he proposed to vote as he
prayed-vote for the prohlbitionists He
didn't know as he would live long enough
to see the Democratic and Republican parties
dead, but he hoped to. He hoped to see
some party hang together and vote for pro-
hihition.
Mr.. A. P. Richardson, of Bangor said he
was tired, but expected to wear out in the
cause. He was formerly Republican, but
ten years ago became convinced that the old
parties could not handle the temperance
question, and became a prohibtionist
He said his party had challenged any man in
Maine to discuss the temperance question
with Mr.. V B. Gushing, but no one had ac-
cepted.
The committee reported the following list
OF candidates for county officers:
