IN ORLEANS COUNTY.

The expression of sentiment and
opinion in Orleans county, respecting
the Governor canvass, the Waterman
and journal has presented is illumi-
mating and extremely gratifying.
The strong endorsement of Gen. Nc
Cullough's candidacy, and particularly
of his position in respect of his view
of his duty as Governor in the mat
ter of temperance legislation, are par
ticularly gratifying. And most salts
factory of all are the high character
and standing of the men, and their
numbers, who have taken so pro-
nounced a stand in favor of the nomina-
tion of Gen. Mccullough to the gov
ernorship. 1t is a splendid exhibit of
strength and manhood, of moral and
intellectual quality, of patriotism
and devotion to the best interests of
the State 1t is also a very effective
answer to the tide of misrepresenta-
ton and misinformation the mongrel
minded Messenger of st. Adams has
been pouring over the State respect
ing the condition of the canvass in the
northeastern section.
Among the men whose opinions are
quoted or whose names are given as
representatives of the staunch support
ers of Mccullough are many of the
strongest temperance men of the coun-
ty, the foremost defenders of the ex-
listing laws for regulating the liquor
traffic. The Orleans county temper
ance people are not deceived by the
circumstances and impudent preten-
sions of this wretched misalliance Of
license and prohibition as represented
by Fletcher ID. Proctor. People who
can see a church by daylight discern
its real purpose and purport.

MIR. PLUMLEY'S LETTER

In the front rank of foremost prohi-
bitionists is Hon. Frank Plumley of
Mortified. If any have crippled, if
any have faltered if any have COM
promised, if any have subordinated
principle to policy in practical devo-
ton to the cause of temperance and
i'll adherence to the policy of the State
in the matter of temperance legisla-
ton, Mr.. Plumley is not of the num-
Der.
The Watchman and Journal, there
fore, commends to temperance people
careful perusal of Mr.. Plumley's
letter published elsewhere in this is
sue. The writer unnqualifiedly and
unreservedly endorses Gen. McCul-
lough's candidacy in respect of it's re-
lation to the temperance question.
Whatever satisfies this eminent and
forceful advocate and judicious sup.
porter of existing laws on the subject
of the liquor traffic in this State ought
to be satisfactory to all prohibition
lists. In times past they have follow
ed him implicitly. They will still
abide in his belief and march under
his banner.
In the circumstance that prohibit
tionists, if Mr.. Proctor is in the ex-
ecutive chair, will seek him, grit
about by license men and influences,
for hearing or any purpose relating
to temperance legislation, is one of
the disquieting and incongruous feat

On Friday, May 8, the House passed
the bill admitting Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico to statehood The
constitutional convention of New Mex
leo is empowered to change the name
of the territoy on its becoming State
IL it so desires. The constitutional
convention of Oklahoma is required to
adopt statute empowering the fed
eral government at any time to
attach to the new State any part
or all of the Indian territory, at such
time as it may see fit. The passage of
the bill was marked by a dramatic in
cident which threatened to prove a
tragedy. Delegate Marcus A. Smith
of Arizona, on concluding an impas-
stoned speech in favor of the bill, fell
to the floor with a slight stroke of
apoplexy. He is now, however, CON
sidered out of danger. The strain un-
der WHICH Mr.. Smith, and his col
league, Mr., Rodney of New Mexico,
have been working during the past
week, has been tremendous. Mr.
Flynn of Oklahoma while he has
worked equally hard, does not show
the same evidence of his protracted
labors. All the delegates express the
belief that the bill will be favorably
acted upon by the Senate.
