Mr., EDTruR II notite ia your issue OF last
week an article headed IA Proposition" Yod
say, ION Wednesday night of last week, the
friends of temperance met at the NJ: E. Church in
this place; FOR the purpose Of forming combi-
nation to enforce the liquor laws within the cor
poration A. J. Dever was present and made q
speech in the interest of the liquor sellers" l
would think much more of you Mr.. Editor II you
had more regard fof the truth, and not quite 80
ready to publish individuals as having said and
done thus and so, wheh they said and done no
such thing as represented. now say toyou tnatl l
made no speech ut the NJ. &: Church or any where
else ain the interest of tile liquor sellers" That
charge is false and untrue. l am as good tenn
perance man as you dare to be- Or any other man
In Jackson. would be glad If there was not
drop of liquor sold in the State OF Ohio, except
for medical and mechanical purposes l use
neither brandy whisky, wine ale, or beer Mr.
MackIev Can YOU beat that? And is it possible
that being SO temperate man as that, could be
guilty of making an anti-temperance speech--a
speech in the 'tinterest of the liquor sellers!"
That would be gaining for myself reputation
which do not wish to acquire, but which you
seem anxious to make for yourself-a reputation
for Inconsistency.
Because every true temperance man Will not
fall in with your extreme and fanatical ideas and
peculiar notions, as TO the best mode OF stopping
and putting an end to the unlawful selling ana use
of Intoxicating liquors, therefore, according to
D, Mackley's notions he is an enemy to the cause
of temperance You have done Mr. Tripp and
myself gross injustice in representing us through
''v0ur oaa ORGAN" as making anti-tempeIance
speeches, and opposed to the enforcement OF the
lfquor laws. Hon. James Trip is too wen known
in this county and elsewhere, for you to attempt
to cram down the throats of the people that he Is
not as good and sound temperance man as YOU
or any man in Jackson. Now sir, l propose 10
meet you, to discuss before the people OF every
township, In this county, the following. propo-
sition: That d. Mackley,s mode OF enforcing
the LIQUOR laws of the State of Ohio, stopping the
sale and use of Intoxicating liquors. is impractical
HE and fanatieal, and will result In no good TO
community, but on the contrary VIII be the
means and cause OF much litigation in the courts,
trouble and bad feeling between nelghbors, aud
hundreds of dollars cost for the the already heavy
burdened tax payers Of Jackson County TO pay
take the affirmative and you the negative OF the
above proposition will meet you and discuss
the above proposition In every township IN JACK
