EMIT OUTLOOK OF HIS CAMPAIGN
Dr. D. Banks Mckenzie, the temperate,
rsformer, is not particularly pleased with the
character of his reception in Carson. On
Monday night he opened the temperance cam
pagn at the Opera House, but the size aud
enthusiasm Of the audience anything but
cheering. When the Dr. appeared upon the
platform he was not greeted with the sponta
neous burst of applause which he really de-
served under the circumstances, and the effect
of the apathy on the part of his hearers had
an observable influence upon his discourse.
The meeting closed at an hour which prevent
ed the APPEAL from having a full report for
yesterdays issue herewith is portion of the
gentlemans remarks:
KENZIE's SPEECH.
As the Doctor looked over the cold, cheer
less hall and felt the lack of enthusiasm, he
alluded to the fact that a year before he had
entered upon his work in Carson and met with
anything but cordial reception. There was
something of that apathy yet. He felt, how
ever, that heaven had designed him for good
mission aad he should carry out his work
H., as yet, had made no provision for the
future and believed that when he had become
worn out with his constant lahors, the doors
of some poor-heuse would open To receive him.
Such thou hit would not deter him from his
future with the same zest which had charac
terized his lAbors in the past.
THE sLANDERERs SCORED.
After dwelling for some time on the evil
effects of intemperance he scored the gossips
and back biters in terse and forcible language
''Nothing," said he, lis SO mean, contempt |
able and eoward!y as the tongue that stabs
regulations. Abstinence from drink is not the
only thing that mast be observed; people who
really mean to do good must abstain from
sandering as well. | loath and dcspise the
tattlers and busy bodies
THE CLUBS DEBT.
There was debt of some $75 on the Club
which the speaker wanted to paid of. He
proposed to raise the amount right there and
would give So himself to start the ball The
speaker paid the money, and this spurred
several of the leading members of the Club to
action and $40 was raised. The meeting then
closed with singing Miss Martin presiding at
he piano.
