The speaker here inquired into the possibility OF
enforcing such law. Ii /. Is right TO pass law
against killing al all Is right 10 prohibit killing by
inches. Have We no right to prohibit such ofenses
Certainly we have Then a law to prohibit the IL
quor traffic it's the right and duty of the legislator to
enact The existence of RESTRAINING law Is evl-
dence that We may entirely prohibit the nuisance

The ballot-box Is the appeal of free people the

Every man has the right 30 speak, and he has serl-
Gus duty 10 perform. But the great object IN making
this appeal should be, not the triumph OF party, but
the securing good government and righteous laws.
Hence, proper men should be- selected and voted for,
men who are pledged and whose pledge may be con-
fded IN to enact and execute all necessary laws.
But YOU say there is difficulty here The pledges
OF public men are of little value. You do not be-
lcve IN pledges. | answer You may better have
pledges than your opponents. The rum-sellers and
Their friends will have their men pledged. Bad men
are pledged to Their cups. why, then: bad men
are pledged, may not good men be pledged to their
duty 10 man and 10 God Let us say, We are de-
termlned to suppress entirely traffic which IS the
source of 50 many evils, and nominate men TO do our
bidding and your power will be such that 1t cannot
be wlthstood.
There is another difficulty You love the " Regu-
lar Nominations" You must vote &" The Regular
Ticket" The candidate is named, You must not
scratch your ticket. II you do the Wing Will beat
the Democrat, or the Democrat will beat the Wing.

The speaker proceeded to speak of the principle
adopted by the Temperance Alliance IN It's ConStitu-
ton IN regard 10 the improper expenditure OF mon

There Is another object which the Temperance
Alliance has inserted IN It's Constitution. II rs the
location of the polls The speaker dwet urgently on
this much desired reform, and insisted that they
should not be held IN liquor stores ana places "heIe

In conclusion, said the speaker | make my APP
