PLAIsTED's MESSAGE FALLS FLAT.
Governor at Variance with Party Plat.
form on Liquor Question.

AUGUSTA, March 20. Especial to the
Portland Express-Advertissr.) An air
of depression hangs about the State
House. The cheering and the enthusiasm
of the convention has died away and the
Democratic leaders of Maine are facing
stern reality, reality which it is evil
dent they regard as political and a
practical mistake.
The sentiment is SO manifest that he
who runs may read it in the faces of all
the leaders. Speaker Morey seems very
low. This is due perhaps to his ex-
pressed opinion that the calling of the
special session of the Legislature is a
mistake, and it may be partly due to
local matters connected with the man.
agement of the city of Lewiston which
has recently been exploited in the papers.
Governor Plaisted's message to the
Legislature delivered this forenoon is
aptly described by many of his auditors
as an eloquent stump speech. 1t was
not a great State paper. 1t was deliv-
cred with his customary gusto and with
the pyrotechnics usually accompanying
political address.
MESSAGE FALLS FLAT.
The feature of that remarkable mes
sage, however, is the fact that it fell so
flat upon the crowded house which lis
tened to it. Not once during the de-
livery of the message was the Cover
nor interrupted by applause, and at the
close the applause was purely perfume
tory and lasted only five seconds by
actual time. Then, having marched up
the hill, the Governor and Council some
what supinely marched down again, and
retired to the executive chamber.
The Governors message was written,
plainly, before the Democratic State
convention yesterday, and he did not
have time or disposition to re-write it.
1t does not square at all with the plat
form adopted in this city at the State
convention. The Governor declares that
he thinks he should be derelict in his
duties if he did not recognize that the
people residing in the country towns de-
sire continuation of prohibition, and he
lays great stress upon what he called the
equally prominent desire Of the cities
and large towns to have license enacted
for their benefit.
The State convention yesterday ignor-
ed the Governors idea, and adopted a
series of resolutions, read by the Cover
nor himself, declaring for an amend
ment to the Constitution which should
permit of local option in all municipal
ties in the State when 81 per cent. of
the voters so desired it.
The Governor was very emphatic in
his declarations that the 20 cities of the
State should not control the 500 and more
towns of the State, although he did say
that it was equally true that the towns
should not control the cities.
On the whole, the opening perform
ance. was disappointment. The Re
publicans who are here are feeling the
impulse of the mistake and are elated
by it exactly as the Democratic leaders
are depressed.
