THE PROHrnrTIoNIsrs FIRST.
They Notify Their Candidate of His
Nomination.

Baltimore, Nd, July 2S.-Prohibitionists
were much in evidence in Baltimore to-
day.
rms evening the state convention met in
Hahazer ; hall. and tonight in Lyceum
theater, the notification committee ap-
pointed by the national convention dis
charged its duty and formally notified Mr.
Joshua Levering Of his nomination for
the presidency.
c. A. L. Spamer presided over the de-
liberations of the state convention. Six
teen counties were represented by 1856 del
egates. Eight presidential electors were
chosen, and a state central committee
named.
Prior to the grand mass meeting at
the Lyeeum theater tonight, 1000 or more
enthusiastic cold water advocates, carry
Ing banners and transparencies, paraded
the street and entered the already we'll
filed theater, headed by a brass band.
Hon John w. Daniels, prohibition candl-
GATE tor'the vice presidency in 1884, called
the asSemblage to order, and introduced
heV; j. r. Smith of Mt. Vernon Place
Methodlst Episcopal church, who invoked
divine blessings upon the gathering, and
the prohibition cause.
Rev. w. A. Stewart of Illinois. chair
man VI llle uOlllcdLlOn committee, was
then presented, and notified Mr. Levering
or his nomination for the presidency by
the prohibition party. Mr.. Stewart was
frequently interrupted by applause, and al
the conclusion of his address was wildly
cheered.
Mr.. Levering in reply read his letter Of
acceptance, after the usual expressions of
gratitude for the conferred honor, which
ne terVently eulogizes, refers to the
party's record under it's banner of pro
lection to the home" which he says is
in itself sufficient compensation for the
laborS and sacrifices of those heroic men,
who, during all these years, have stood
true to the principle which gave birth to
the party. The platform adopted by the
convention meets his hearty approval, and
though based on a singular issue. is in
reality sufficiently broad to allow all to
stand upon 1t who are opposed to the
saloon and its consequent evils regardless
OF their views on any of the other public
questions of the day.
Mr.. Levering briefly refers to the lead
ing prevalent national questions, the tar
iff, foreign affairs the fostering of trusts
and monopolies, etc; but he asks what
hope can be expected for a solution of
those from either of the two dominant
parties? The prohibition party, he says
pledges itself as soon as the power of
legislation is given 1t to act on all these
welfare of the whole people may demand
The time has arrived he thinks, when
the voters Of this country can and should
trust the reins of the government into the
hands of the prohibition party, having
the assurance that every pledge will be
honestly fulfilled and that every act of
legislation will have for its controlling mo-
tive the honor of God, the welfare of all
people and the good of the country so
dear to US all"

one of the bolting silver re-
publicans, was the only prominent

spent some hours with the nominee, talk
ing over the political situation.

consulted with the populist leaders as to
the best course to pursue.

to the democratic national convention his
desire to be guided by their advice, and

willing to allow his political advisers to
arrange matters.

cratic headquarters this afternoon, but

number of people there.
