as an encouraging indication of the future OF
good templarisni in Indianapolis. he bid
them God speed, and gave them his and the
grand lodges best wishes for their future
prosperity.
Mrs. Brookbout, of Jacksonville, accom-
panying herself on the organ, sang in a man
ner worthy of that grand old piece, Presi-
lent Lincoln's fayorite song, Your Mis-
sion." The rapturous applause with which
it was greeted showed how thoroughly the
audience appreciated the song and the
singer.
Ten minute speeches were delivered by
Messrs. j. j. Talbot, of New Albany; the
Rev. Mr.. Stimuson, OF Delphi; the Hon.
Isaac Underwood, senator elect from Jay
county; Mrs. Mary A. Johnson, OF Jeffer-
sonville, editress of the Agitator; DR.. w. II.
Sheets, of Jacksonville; the Rev. j. G.. Beh-
arret of Princeton; III. CASH, of Terre Haute;
the Rev. r. ID. Spellman, of Decatur; the
Rev. w. w. Snyder, of Jeffersonville;
in all of which the most encouraging view
possible was taken of the recent temperance
defeat at the polls, and it was promised that
this was not exactly the day ofjubilees, which
belong exclusively to the temperance peo-
pie, yet the time should come.and that right
speedily, when they would rejoice IN a COM
plete triumph of their principles. The
speeches foreshadowed a political action
which shall not depend upon any
existing party. In one thing
at least the temperance workers of Indiana
do not lack. They have plentiful
supplv of that kind of courage which is
called pluck. The meeting was success In
numbers, enthusiasm, and renewing the de-
termination of Indiana Good Templars to
"pick their fInts and try it again."
