large cities there is, as was to be ex-
pected. q decided anti -prohibItory
sentiment, but in the small towns the
temperance party is largely in the as
cendant. Surprising that "a read

turns, we annex them:

their ticket.

the ordinance recently passed will
stick.
At Morrow, the temperance men
elected all their ticket, by from Is to

suit makes the Council a tie in re-
gard to the beer ordinance.

DAYS, and for free beer"
Bucyrus is happy over whisky and
beer.
The election in Lancaster resulted
in the defeat of all the temperance

These are sufficient; they show the
influence of the "Woman's Move
ment," and that the people, when
once aroused to the subject, are fast
friends of temperance. If the towns
and cities do this well. after but a few
months campaign, what may we not
expect when the country comes to
vote. 1t requires no prophet to FORE
tell the result.
