COLUMBUS, Feb. 25.-The mass tenn
perance meeting this morning at the Town
Street Methodist Church, preliminary to
beginning an active campaign, was very
largely attended. A motion to appoint q
committee to confer with the general as
sembly relative TO holding a prayer meet.
Ing In the rotunds Of the State House this
evening was opposed by Mrs. Clellan,
Brown, chief OF the order Of Good Temp.
lars In Ohio, on the ground that It would
interfere with the meeting OF the CITY
Hall this evening TO be addressed by
John Russell, Of Detroit, late prohibition
candidate for Vice President and herself.
Mrs. w. T. Coggshall suggested that as
hlr. Russell had made his appointment
TO speak here long before this movement
was tnaugurated, he might postpone his
speech until another day for the sake Of
this movement.
This created much bad blood, and for
little time anything but harmony pre-
vailed. In the midst Of the confusion Dio
Lewis took the chair and begged for har-
mony. He said this was the most dis.
couraging feature Of this great campaign
he had known Of. He could not bear 10
see the movement descend into politics.
ltwas Gods work rather than the work
q politicians. he did not want to see
Dr.. Russell shut off In the way proposed,
but was somewhat afraid the lecture
would divide public attention. L
MIR. Russell said that his meeting could
not be postponed, as he came here by the
invitation OF the Good Templars.
Finally q truce was arranged, and a
committee appointed to confer with the
Legislature relative to State House
prayer meeting at 4 o'clock p. NJ, which
would not interfere with Russell's lecture.
Dlo Lewis-It Is clear that without
more united effort, the outdoor cam.
pain cannot be commenced here for two
weeks.
All the ministers of English congrega.
tions expressed themselves In favor Of the
movement. T.fr
A meeting was held at 8 o'clock to
hear the report from the committee ap.
pointed to interview the legislature, and
were told that the legislature was toe
buisy to attend any prayer meeting. Some
oil the most active temperance workers
express themselves as much discouraged
over the events ofto-day, and fear that
II the prohibitionists insist on attempting
to force politics into the campaign no
good will be accomplished here.
