The Liquor Ldw-LuU in the Zeal of the Amti Prohibition
ists-What are the Members from New York City about ?
After the excitement occssioned during two successive
campaigns in this State by the discussion of the liquor
question: and the final enactment of the Prohhitory law
at the last session OF the LegslAurs appears rahsr
strange Il at the subject should have elected little a

mind ia less intensely sgitated the question that

Of their ccnsttusnt by eneesverpg to procure the

zeal in carrying It 1rward. Yet, in addition to Mr.
Glover, OF New York. who made the notion 1t vss left
for two country members Me- Bailey, OF Putnam and
