cause throughout Glo SIdGe.
1t has twice scattered petitions
over the State, which were numer-
ously signed and laid before the
Legislature. 1t has sought out
correspondents and local commit
tees in the various counties; and
while a great deal of effort has
been put forth in this direction,
yet ii has only been partially sue
cessful and much remains to be
done. Our acquaintance is be-
coming extended, organizations
more complete, public sentiment
is growing, and the live men are
coming to the front.
HOW THE WORK Is BEING DONE.
The Committee has endeavored
to interest the Press, the Pulpit
and the Platform throughout the
State in this great question, and
the power of these influences is be-
coming irresistible.
Our u almost endeavors have been
used to induce two successive Leg
islatures of the State to hear the
petitions Of the people, and to sub
NIT a prohibition amendment to a
popular vote Though we have
not succeeded. we are in no wise
discouraged. We have been inn
Fortunate at their feet; and though
they have spurned us, we know
that the people will send other
servants who will yet hear.
FINANCES.
All this work has necessarily en-
tailed upon the Committee a very
considerable expense, which has
only partially been provided for But
this immense amount of CORES
pondence, scattering of petitions
and printed matter, travelling ex-
penses, and some agency work, al
together has cost the Committee
less than three hundred dollars in
three years Verify, was ever more
work done with less money? We
have no doubt the liquor power
spent ten times this sum and vast
~ more, in Wheeling during the
past winter, in fighting us.
WORK TO BE DONE.
Our organization throughout the
State must be better perfected
Much canvassing and correspond
ence is yet necessary. Into some
OF the counties agents must be
sent in order to secure proper local
committees, and to awaken pubic
sentiment The printing press
must be utilized and Temperance
literature distributed, Every pre-
caution must be taken and every
legitimate influence used, to make
it impossible for men to be elected
to office whose votes and influence
are against submitting the Prohi-
bition question to a vote of the
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-04-04

PARKERsB URa, April / 1888.
To the People oJ' Vest Virginia.

This address is issued by direc-
ton of the State Temperance IKE
cutive Committee, body of TWEEN
ty pronounced prohibitionists, who
dwell in fifteen different counties,
and who were appointed to direct
the temperance work Of the
State in the interim between con-
ventions.' They received their APP
pointment at the State Temper
ance Convention, held in Ravens
wood last June.
OUR DESIRE AND PURPOSE.
1t is our desire to call tie
attention Of the people to the pres.
ent condition Of the good cause Of
prohibition ill West Virginia, aid
to publicly and vigorously protest
against the unwarrantable assume
ton and intolerable tyranny of
meagre though sufficient minority
of the late Legislature, in refusing
to allow the people to vote upon a
prohibition amendment to the State
constitution.
HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT
More than TWO years ago, mary
thousand voters of the State, as well
as ten thousand women, sent up to
the Legislature their respectful Pc
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-04-04


Legislature should enact a
prohibitory law, but simply
that Il Prohibitory Amendment to
the State Constitution might be
submitted to a vote Of the people,
leaving the people to say whether
or not Prohibition should be made
the law of the State,
At an adjourned session of the
same Legislature, thousands of pc
titions were again presented, pray
ing the same thing But the Leg
islature refused to hear our petit
tions.
At the.last State election, an en-
tire new Legislature was chosen by
the people, excepting twelve Sena-
tors, who held over, and again the
question came before that body at
its recent session
PASSED THE HOUSE,.
The House Of Delegates passed
the Amendment by vote of near
ly four-ffths of that body. But the
Senate refused to concur by a vote
of fifteen ayes to eleven noes, three
less than the necessary two. thirds
majority voting in its favor.
Thus it remained for eleven SEN
ators your public servants-to say
that you,
THEIR SOVEREIGN MASTERS,
shall not be allowed to express your
willupon the most momentous ques-
ton now agitating the American
people. You have trusted these
Senators but they refuse to trust yop.
They assume to be the sole judg-
es of what the people want, and in
effect say to you that they are bet
ter judges of what would be best
for the people, than are the people
themselves
OUR APPEAL IS TO THE PEOPLE.
It's within your power to rebuke
these unworthy servants, who have
denied your petitions and scorned
your right to be heard
HENCEFORTH LET NO MAN
BE ELECTED TO OFFICE
WHOSE VOTE OR INFLUENCE
WILL BE AGAINST US, UNTIL
OUR RIGHTS ARE CONCEDEDl

Minnesota Prohibitionists have at
last taken a decided stand. They
have cut themselves squarely loose
from all previous party affiliations or
obligations and have assumed an en-
tirely independent position before the
voters of the state. They met in
mass convention in Minneapolis last
Tuesday and organized themselves in
to a distinct political power made
nominations for state officers, raised
campaign fund and made themselves
ready for work. We believe the
movement to be premature and in
discreet and that the only appreciate
result will be, ifaDything, to endanger
repu blican supremacy in the state.
However, a distinct Prohibition party
is formed, has announced its principles
and it's intention to stand or fall upon
them, and is entitled to respect.

THE NEWS CONDENSED.

Last Tuesday night four harvest
hands boarded a freight train at
Whitehall, twelve miles north OF
Springfield, Ill, to steal aride. While
at this station four other men boarded
the same car, apparently for the same
purpose, but after the train was in mo-
ton drew revolvers on the first four
men, and after making them deliver
what money they had, Drove them off
the moving train. One man, named
Patrick Knight, fell head-long and
was killed. The tramps were arrested.
Harvest hands should not try to steal
rides.
At public meeting of the produce
trade in New York July 10th, resolu-
tions were adopted opposing any
legislation by congress looking toward
the redemption of trade dollars at par
as being done in the interest of ring
of spectators who have purchased
the coin in large quantities at its bull
lion value. A resolution was also
passed favoring the charges of interest
on advances made on consignment
from the date of advancement until
ten days after the date of the sale Of
the goods, provided they are not paid
for before; also recommending that
ten days be the limit at which sales on
credit should be made in the produce
trade.

Elk. Gov. Hendricks left Omaha
last Saturday with party of friends
for trip through Montana. While
there he talked freely on political
affairs in his own state and of his
personal relations with Mr.. Tilden,
which he said, were still of the most
cordial nature. Mr.. Hendricks said
that Senator Voorhees, spoke without
authority in claiming that he (Hend-
ricks) was not a presidential candidate,
for he has not thought seriously
enough of the matter to express his
opinion either way. The point upon
which the Ex-Governor seemed to feel
he worst was the famous indianapolis
interview of recent date, which, he
said, was a gross and an absurd mis-
representation of fact, that had put him
under strong fire of criticism and
caused him much pain.

The Farmers Review in it's issue OF
last Thursday published an exhaustive
report on the condition ofcrops, based
on returns from over one thousand
points in the north and west. A
general change for the better in all
crop prospects has taken place the
past two weeks, owing to the cessation
of rain and the advent of hot weather
the last week or two, which combined
served to bring forward the late corn
and push on spring wheat and oats.
The weather has been very fine for the
early winter wheat harvest, and the
crop is now going into the shock.
Spring wheat and oats are unusually
promising, and are both now nearly
assured. 1t is believed the corn crop
is rapidly coming up to it's condition
in 1882.

A number of prominent Democrats
were in Albany during the past week
In consultation with Chairman Man
ming of the state committee on the
subject of calling the committee to-
gether. A meeting will be held at
Saratoga early in August. The COM
mittee meeting this year will be of
particular Importance to Democrats In
this city, because the primari es for
the election of delegates from the city
to the next state convention will be
held under supervision of the state
committee, A resolution was adopted
at Saratoga last year providing for the
election Of delegates from this city at
primaries to be held In election dist
riots, and under direction of the state
committee. Hence when the com
mittee meets it will take action in the
matter by the appointment of a SUBJ
committee to superintend the prina-
ries. This will have an important
bearing on the next. contest. The
county Demo craey is the only organi-
zation in the city that has an organi-
cation in each election district, and
some of its leaders hope in this way to
secure the rejection Of delegates elected
by such organization, 1t is not
believed the state committee will sane
ton such action, fearing it might en-
danger the state contest. Representa-
tives of Tammany and Irving Hall
say they are willing to go into any
fair election in district primaries, but
will not vote in primaries in which
inspectors are all members of the
county Democracy. 1t will be diff
ficult matter for the state committee
to bring all the Democrats into one
set of primaries without creating dis
satisfaction.
