Another Temperance Rally Last Evening
Addresses by Mr.. Gallagher, DR.. Wr sh,

The Prohibitionists held quite an en-
thusiastic meeting at the old court house
last evening. There was a very fair at
tendance In point of members, composed
of nearly as many ladies as gentlemen
The meeting was called to order by the
Rev. Mr.. Morgan, of West st. Paul, who
introduced first Mr.. M. Gallagher, of Min.
neapolis, who addressed the meeting in a
speech of some length, of which the fol
lowing is synopsis:
MIR. GALLAGHER's REMARKS.
Il am prepared to say this evening what
have not said during this canvass.
that DR.. Phillips, our candidate
for congress, stands as good chance for
an election as either of the other two can
didates in the field. wish tonight to
tell you what we did in Minneapolis last
spring. The Republican party stated that
If we made nomination we would help
the election of DR.. Ames, but we told them
If they made a nomination they would help
eject DIR. Ames. We told them further
that they had been tried and that Ames
could give US no worse an administration
than the Republican party had inflicted on
the city for the past four years. So we
went on and made canvass. Three DAYS
before election they made canvas of the
city and saw that they could not elect their
man without our votes, and they called a
meeting in back room of the Market
hall, and promised us anything. We knew
that they could not carry out their prom
ises,as they only represented one faction of
the Republican party. Among the Repub-
licans present at that meeting were an ex-
governor of the state, an ex-member of
congress, and two ex-mayors. Among
their promises upon that occasion was that
they would never vote for man for office
that was not Prohibitionist, and we ex-
pect those Republicans to keep their prom
ises and vote for DR.. Phillips this fall,
and we believe they will: How
did Washburn vote on the Dunnell
whisky bill? He was in Washington at
the time but he did not vote on it at all.
He was afraid to- go on record. There is
an amendment before congress now. How
is Washburn going to vote on that? He
will not tell US. Are you going to trust
him further? I will not! I have been
| asked why abuse the Republican party
more than the Democratic party? l
answer because the Republican party is
| the bigger dog than the Democratic party
The Democrats could not give us Prohi-
bition if they would and they would no.
if they could. Why do we not go for DR.
| Ames? The reason is that he is pro-
nounced whisky man and we can whip
the whiskey men every time if such hypo-
crits as Washburn will get out of the way
Mr.. Gallagher then paid his respects to
the Minneapolis Tribune and the Ponce,
Press, both of which papers, claiming to
represent the Republican party, omitted
no opportunity to give our cause stab.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gallagher's adj
| dress, the audience sang several verses of q
campaign song, entitled ''The Prohibition
Wagon" of which the following is the con.
GLIDING verse:
Monopoly is dying now, kid gloves are not al
The pine land ring is wailing, we hear it from
afar.
Well beat the 'sbummer'' candidate with Oswald
all @. K;
| The wOrkingmen have drawn their coats, anC
| mean to win the day.
Then shout for our wagon, the honest ballot
wagon;
Come jump into our wagon and all take ride.
| DR. wRIGHTs REMARKS.
| DR.. D. G.. Wright of Detroit was then in
troduced, and he made rousing speech
He commenced by saying that between
right and wrong there was an everlasting
antagonism. There is no half way point, land
there can be no compromise
The right never grows unless cultivated
the wrong will grow of itself if let alone
Neglect your garden and it will fill with
weeds, and SO will even the human heart
Intemperance is damnable, and it must be
fought against by all the powers of gooi
in every way. The fight must be al
agrarian one. 1t is all we'll enough to say
that God is on the side of temperance an6
therefore it must triumph. This is mere
nonsense. God has always been on tn.
side of temperance. The right must b,
aggressive, and only then does it conquer
Truth itself must be aggressive in order t.
prevail, mighty as it is. DIR. Wright in scath
ing language denounced the Republican
party for its hypocrisy, and said he woule
just as leave trust the Democratic party
but he would not trust either any farther
than he would a hungry dog with his din
ner. He concluded with an earnest appea
to every friend of prohibition to remain
faithful and fight fight to kill, until thu
manufacture and sale of liquor was pro
hibited by law.
| Prof. Faddis, of the Business college,was
next called out and made short speech
giving some practical facts to show thai
the liquor traffic did not add to the wealth
of country.
Rev. Mr.. Morgan, the presiding officer
announced that next Saturday night.a mass
convention would be held in the same
room to put in nomination candidates fol
the legislature who would be pledged tc
vote for prohibition. He also took occa.
sion to e1coriate Washburn for his by
pocrisy, and said the question of prohibi-
ton must be settled in the two cities OF
st. Paul and Minneapolis. The balance
