NJ. G. WHITE, Sec'y.
For the present we will refer only to
one little paragraph in the foregoing pro-
ceedings, which will prove, almost beyond
the possibility of doubt, that The Bull
LETIN was right in claiming that the Pro.
hibiton movement here has been from the
very first engineered by, and exclusively in
the interest OF, the Republican party Of
the dstriction--that the few Democrats
who have been prominently connected with
it, have been, and are still, the blind dupes,
the plant tools of the at first secret, but
now glaringly exposed influence Of the
Republican schemer, John A. Logan No
one will deny that, to the two great parties
in this congressional district, the most i'm
portant action in the Anna convention was
the passage of the resolution asking with!
drawal of the call for congressional con
renton, No one who knows the facts can
deny, that the only party that could be
injured by a congressional nomination by
the Prohibitionists would be the
Republican party, and the only party that
could be benefited by such nomination
would be the Democratic party. 1t seems
perfectly reasonable, therefore, that the
Republican party should seek to prevent
such nomination if any one should but
we were not prepared that it would take
such bold method to accomplish its pur.
pose. The web woven around the Prohibi.
ton movement Of this senatorial district
from its very inception, by Republican wire
pullers, has been visible from the first, and
with each strand drawn it has become more
elaring, until now only those who willfully
close their eyes can fail to see its heavy
meshes lying about the necks and limbs Of
every sincere man and woman who took
any part in the movement here.
Had The BULLETIN been
granted the privilege to man
ufacturc such evidence as it might
deem necessary, to prove the correctness
of its claims concerning the Prohibition
movement here, it could not have hoped to
accomplish anything better than that Mr.
W. s. Rogers, Of Jackson county, should
have finally closed the moose around Miss
Prohibitions neck, and drawn the net to-
gether over her head, by Offering
the resolution declaring it "unwise
to nominate candidate for congress IN
this district" and asking for a withdrawal
of the call for congressional convention.
