The prohibitonist men Of Moline re-
Gently engaged the Turner Hall a! that
place, from Mr.. Otto, for a mass meeting
but without stating the object OF the meet
ine. When Mr.. Otto found out what their
object was, and that Hiram Price OF Dav-
en- Dor, was going to address the meeting on
behalf Of the new temperance law, he re-
fused TO let them have the hall for the pur-
pose unless they were willing to allow ths
Turner's Az opportunity to discuss Ihe point
with them at the same time; which they
consented 10. Accordingly, 1t being under
stood that the meeting was TO be OGe OF die
cu,sion, at Torner Hall, Ms-srs. Shiodelu-
eisser add Suksdorf and others, of DSven-
port, went With Hiram PSics and his friends
to Moline, where they found that BY small
piece of ,rickerT, Hiram Price and the new
ten peraucs law men being afraid to meet
them for the purpose Of discussion of the
questio Of temperance, had engaged Dunn's
Hall, whittier they proceeded aud held their
meeting. Mr.. Price, having begun his ad.
dress, Mr.. Schindelmsisser asked the privi-
ledge of replying, and was promptly re-
fused.
10 the meantime the Turner's, with num-
Der of gentlemen from this city, believing
that the meeting was to be held as agreed
upon, assembled at the Turner hall and
waited for the arrival of Mr. Price and the
new Temperance Law people, who, however
did not put 10 40 appearance, having gone
back on their agreement, fearing open dts
cussion, and evading the matter by coward
ly trick, 50 that they could hold their ma.
meeting packed with their own psrtisans
aud pass resolutions which they would rep
resent to the Legislature as the voice of til,
