The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-10-28
" Widows Mite. Z

An unknown lady has written us a
long letter, expressing her anxiety for
the enactment Of a prOhibitOrglaw She
is very poor woman, earning scanty
subsistence for herself and children by
making garments for 9slopTshoPs," and
yet she sends three dollars to aid in de-
irsying the necessary expenses incident
to the campaign. She iswilling to rise
earlier, sit up later, work harder, and
retrench family expenses, to secure a
shield for her loved ones against the al
lurements Of grog.shOps. Not knowing
the generous matron, we could not re-
turn her contribution, as our feelings
would impel us to do, and have placed
it in the common fund. What a lesson
is this to the thousands of temperance
men who, with abundant means, have
contributed nothing, or who have given
but little, and that grudgingly, TO aid in
the struggle against the whisky power
How this single fact should burn like a
hot iron into the consciences Of those
who, fort the sake ofsecuring amereparty
triumph, arrayed themselves against the
cause Of prohibition and deliberately
gave their votes for the minions of the
liquor traffic! This poor mother looks
in vain to her country to save her ten
der offspring from the tiger grasp Of
those who lay in wait for blood, and
must lift her supplicating voice to Him
who alone hears the needy when they
cry. To the God Of the widow and the
Father of the fatherIess, we commend
the mother and her Jewels.

Flantion Incidents.

AAAsNNAeA 8AA~AN~NNt~s
An incident occurred at the Second
Ward polls, which is worth naTrating.
An otherwise respectable looking indi-
vidual, in a state Of partial intoxicasicn,
approached the polls and demanded a
Maine Law ticket. A byslander gener-
ously placed in his hand Democratic
ticket, whereupon the victim Of temPta-
ton, after glancing at i for q moment,
cast it from him, exclaiming, 81 want to
vote the Maine Law ticket; ! want them
to stop selling liquor; if they did not sell
liquor would not be drunk; but can't
help itn He grasped the Maine Law
ticket, and placed it in the box, and ad-
ded, ''I hope the Law will be passed"
A number Of persons were afterwards
heard to declare that they were induced
tovote for the Maine Law by the feeling
appeal Of this poor inebriate n
At another place of voting, a son of
Erin was accOsted by friend of the
regular whisky ticket, with an assurance
that he had the kind OF ballot he wanted
to vote. The half-inebriated lHshman
asked him what sort he carried. The
reply was, @he regular democratic tick
et" "D-n your party tickets" 'I
promised my wife to vote against the
whisky men, and Democrat as l am, I'll
do that same"
A father and three sons, all Democrats,
voted at the same precinct The father
is a worthy and estimable citizen, but
cannot resist the temptation to drink to
excess when exposed. His oldest son, a
prOfessed temperance man, and member
of the Presbyterian Church, resisted the
appeals and entreates of his father and
brothers (who make no profession of reli-
gion( to vote for Maine Law men, and
actually deposited a. full whisky ticket
He would lather sign his fathers death
warrant than disobey party leaders. We
saw several regular topers electioneering
all day for the prohibitory ticket. On
being asked the reason, the answer uni
formly was, "I want to be sober and
decent man, but cannot unless grog-shops
are shut up"
A liquor-seller in Mill.creek, said he
believed the well-being Of society re-
quired law of prohibition, and although
a strong Democrat, he voted the Maine
Law ticket.
A wealthy distiller in this county, an
ardent Wing, came with all his corps of
workmen and voted the Democratic
whisky ticket. Many, very many Wings,
loving liquor more than party, initiated
the distiller's example. si

O. II. RAldAn

This gentleman, hailing from Mesopo-
tamia, Trumbull county, writes us a let
ter, requesting an immediate discontinue
ance Of his paper, giving as his reason
that the cause Of temperance cannot be
promoted by one who acted SO shame
fully as did the Editor at the Worlds
Temperance Convention. In his letter,
in the bitterness of his spirit, he CRIES
"How could you have taken that dsteSted
step? I feel indignant, chagrihed. You
are not a true reformer, and | cannot
help sustain you" Hold, Mr., Belden,
don't hurt yourself; don't let your indig-
nation make you commit suicide, nor
permit your "chagrin" to induce fatal
melancholy. We are not, thank God,
dependent upon you for support You
are at liberty to stop your paper. But
webeg you to calm your troubled spirits.
