yield private opinions to the Wis
dom Of the body.
While there was, as usual, some
diversity of ideas, and warm discus
sion in reference to much that was
proposed and done, yet we speak
deliberately in saying that not one
delegate of the more than one hun
drcd and thirty present, returned to
his home with any other feelings
than an enthusiastic purpose to
enter at once heartily and vigor-
ously upon the work as planned
and laid down by the Convention.
The organization effected is SIM
pie, compact, thorough; the ma
chinery for work, light, adaptable,
and readily managed by the new
est beginners, while remarkably
effective in the hands of our exper-
fenced temperance workers, and the
entire system of the campaign so
happily completed and set going at
Wheeling, we are sure will be
found to run smoothly and effec-
lively, and when the work warns
up among the people, we are quite
as confident, every part of the sim
pie machinery will be found album
dainty self-lubricating. So, "off
she goes,' say we, and let the bust
ness ham to the inspiring tune of
Prohibition.

Convention Notes.

a perfect george" of good things
that must go over. We have what
the Wheeling Press, English and
German, said about us; the jolly
return trip on the Emma Graham,
the public meeting on board with
resolutions, and lots Of the funniest
of fun; and then the many rich
bits picked up during the sessions,
and out of the speeches, All of
these that will keep, our readers
shall have in our next issue, as a
second Convention course.

Only Thirteen License Counties.

In our last issue, we gave a list of
the license and anti-license counties
in the State. We have since learn
ed that the counties of Monroe and
Logan should both be added to the
prohibition list. This leaves only
thirteen in the State that are re-
corded in favor of the licensed
traffic. "Which'll be the next ?'

THE FREEMAN.
Parkersburg, W. Va.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1881.
The Convention.

That the State temperance Con-
vention held in Wheeling, last
week, June 1928, was thorough
business success, is fully conceded by
the friends and apologists of the IL
auor traffic, and enthusiastically
proclaimed and enjoyed by all who
were present as the friends of the
cause of temperance and prohibit
ton in West Virginia.
By reference to the proceedings
given in full in this number, the
paucity of speech-making for its
own sake, and the absence of what
may be styled "Convention gush,"
will be observed as remarkable.
Indeed the only speeches OF the en-
tire session, where the authors took
the platform with any purpose to
"make speech, were the excellent
address of welcome by Mr., Cracraft,
of Wheeling, and response by Mr..
Carter, of Parkersburg, and the
closing speech Of the Convention,
BY Mr.. Caldwell, and while all
these were richly enjoyed and
frequently drought down the
house." yet the entire attention
and interest of the delegates were
so absorbed and centered in the one
common idea and purpose Of the
body, that of business, of practical
organization and foundation-Work
for the future, that the good speech
es on the general subject Of temper
ance and prohibition, were almost
passed by and forgotten in the in
tense interest of the delegates in the
actual work of the session Ill hand !:
and while we took full notes of
the speeches and intended giving
our readers their points and argu-
ments, yet we caught that same
spirit for practical work so charac-
teristic of the session, so that We al
most feel like giving this week the
naked and abundant practical re-
suits of the Convention 2OOrk,
without any effort at ornamental
ton with speech-trimmings.
We want to say and re-say, what
we are sure our readers will say
again, after reading the proceed
ings, that the Convention was &
most gratifying and promising sue
cess. 1t was a success in its num-
Der of delegates, a success in its
representative character, and a
most signal success in its united,
harmonious and successful purpose
to bring all shades and elements Of
temperance sentiment to bear on
one common focus, the legalized
dram-shop, and to plan the most
effective siege and campaign to cap
ture that key and stronghold Of the
enemy.
We think it would be difficult to
instance deliberative body, sure
ly not one made up Of elements SO
diverse, where the one common pur-
pose and object stood forth so prom
inently, and where individuals,
reasonably differing as to methods
and plans, were SO ready after frank
and brief comparing Of views, to

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con.
suit the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
ETC. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Ils
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to the saving of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chpse tickets before having talk or re-
cciving a letter from one of the B. & o.
Agents. A letter addressed to w. 4.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to J 7. Lane,
Wheeling, w. Va, to j. A. Webb, Fos-
toria, Ohio; to I, A. Lee GAINESVILLE

tlemen will lead to thorough informa-
ton as to all necessary details of time

the milk; then let's 60 bis hold, keeping
