CHICAGO, Oct, 11.-A Cleveland special
says that Edwin Cowles, of the Leader,
says the Republicans have met the enemy,
led by John Barleycorn and King Gam
brinus, and were routed "horse foot and
dragons" The cause of their defeat
can be traced clearly to prohibition.
When our Republican Legislature pass
ed the law taxing saloons, which has since
been declared unconstitutional, and the
law closing saloons on Sunday, the Ger
man element, about 10000 in number,
obeying orders from their leaders, resolv-
ed to punish the Republicans for their
temerity by voting with the Democrats,
and to this is added the stampede of the
Republican workingmen, on account of
being worsted in strikes, particularly
that OF the Cleveland rolling mills. A
director of that company, Mr.. Everett,
was nominated to Congress by the Re-
publicans, and hence his signal defeat in
strong Republican district. Impracti-
cal prohibitionists drew largely and en-
tirely from the Republican ranks and
aided greatly in helping the saloonists
and Germans in furnishing that party.
1t was simply an illustration of when ex-
tremes meet. Then the other class of
temperance men throughout the State
we're in lethargic condition and made
no effort to appreciate what the Republi-
cans had done for temperance, resulting
in an army of "stay-at-homes"
