minority. Loud applause. Another Suggestion he
had to make There were u Lumber OF MN in this
community who bad faith in prayer, who prayed rog-
u'arly every day. To those Of them who have ID
wives be suggested that they should make th, mat
ter a subject Of prayer. Let them coDsalt their God
in prayer and ask ho be would direct them-ase
him to guide them Alright and bslp them Was there
man present who did u feel that this would ba q
mOckeTyl Was there any whose conscience did
not tel him that God could not sanction the

large amount of hopefulDess. He had conf ience in
the power OF the people ~ appreciate the right side
of n question and he trusted that the result Of next

State To- the satisfaction Of The friends Of the cause
and would carry confusion into the ranks Of their

There were other reasops why they should vote in
favor of prohibition. Most of the Arguments Of the
oppOLehts Of the measure arguments in favor OF
licensed Righteousness, aud such - were hostile 10
all good government and authority. There vas
abroad in this City spirit of agrsrlanism. This had
a most important bearing upon the subject, and
would tell upon the welfare of the country ia time to
come. Another matter for their consider Ation was
that the Rum party was making desperate effort To
buy no oil the votes of The State. Any who
wanied TO sell his vote coud receive price from tho
Rum interest But he not ready 10 belize that tn
would be successful D the Five POINTS and at the Hook

bought III the market; but u was different thing
wien they out into The country among the green
hills There they knew nothing about thus pion,
for they bad not been contaminated. Ii there a

came btme TO every man OF common seuse. The
Liquor dealers prOfessed that prohibition Law you'd
multiply dliikcrs. If so, bow msuy Of that interest

Clark, il it would be TO their interest," Alb no; il
not 80. They had read in .Esops Fables the
story of the knowing old fox who got his neither ex
remity caught in trap, and 10 his efforts to relieve
himself, left it behind. Seeing that hs could not
regain his own appeDdage, be went round among
the other foxes, and underworld 10 persuade them
that tails we're neither useful OrnaneD; al-that
they would be much better without them. The story
don't say how many Of the foxes followed bis advice;
but just 20 soor as they dozen foxes come down
