clous (?l licen1o liquor law.
Those who are In favor OF license
law wess generously permitted to have
this bin printed, and allowed to GO
through IL by sections, and amend II up
to their ideas OF perfection. Then they
were allowed To discuss 1t upon its nler-
Its as long rs they pleased, the friends
rf temperance replying to every speech
made in Its favor except the last, which
was by Irish, Of Johnson county.
OF the speeches made, that of Mr.. Irish

miscrably failed of coming up to the ex-
pectations Of those who have frequently
listened to his speeches upon other sub

So the House refuses to have ANYTHING

Is legal voters, and 20, ,G2o as women and

prohibitory liquor law.
On the other side petitions have been
presented, signed by 1876 persong re-
presented rs legal voters, asking for tho
repeal of the present prohibitorp liquor
and the enactment of II license law.

resolutions attack Congress; the two
following proclaim repudiation the
sixth is blarney for the Irishmen; the
seventh demands the prompt repeal OF
the prohibitory liquor law the eighth
declares the inevitable white mans gov

dlcton. Not one word for the country
not one thought for the soldier or his
widow-not one positive, earnest, honest
plank.-Phiiadeiohia Press.

speak to him, and at the same time
promising to repeat the dose if he spoke
