Comments on the Vote Of Some Of his
COllslEuss-outsIds Comments.

The usual weekly mass meeting OF the Ohio
County Temperance Executive Committee
was held at Charlie shay's Theatre yesterday
afternoon. The principal speaker was sena.
tor Fontaine Smith, Of Marion county, whose
remarks, or a portion Of them, were the sub.
ject Of considerable comment last evening
about the hotels and other resortso members
OF the Legislature.
The audience as usual was large, and the
Parker Hall choir furnished music with the
assistance Of some volunteers
p Mashal G. W. Atkinson presided, and Rev.
Dr.. J. E Smith opened the meeting with
prayer. Rev. Richard Grogan made an ad:
dress OF about forty minutes, which was well
received by the large audience. Senator
Smi tn was then introduced, aud spoke brief.
". He glanced at the history OF temperance
movements, and referring TO the defeat OF the
prohibition amendment In the Senate, he
said that when the Legislature convened 1t
was the belief Of friends OF prohibition that
there were eighteen Senators who would vote
TO submit the amendment But Wheeling
was peculiarly social sort Of place, and
II was not every legislator who could with
stand the Establishments to which they were
subjected. Consequently when the vote was
taken there were but fifteen Senators who
voted for 1t.
These remarks were either purposely or In.
tentioually mIsconstrued by some OF his
hearers, aud were circulated last evening in
q shape in which they seemed TO reflect upon
certain Senators. In conversation with a
reporter last night, however, Senator smith
Unclaimed any Intention to insnuata any.
thing discreditable concerning anybody, and
said he would be the last man to impugn any
Senator's motives, or to impute to him any
improper Influence.

Rfs0lred, That we urge and request our Del

lutions as will communicate our views and
wishes 10 our Senators and Representatives
in the Congress Of the United states
And further, believing as We do that in de-
veloping the observation-disclosures oil this
State, there Is no branch Of agriculture that Is
more profitable or better adapted to the
wants OF this State. and would add more TO
its wealth and prosperity than sheep hus'
bandry, for which this State Is most admira-
bly, ad4ptcd. ."
Rps'red, That we especially urge and r.
ques that the present. tAiin on woods,
adopted In 1867, which has more than quad
rupled the industry with us, and ut the same
time has given labor It's Just reward, and yet
kept the price OF wooden goods at such a
figure that the poorest could enjoy all their
comforts and benefits, should be continued
without any change, and that a reduction OF
rates would be destructive to our interest
and that OF the entlre,State.
The President was requested 10 present a
copy OF these resolutions to the President OF
the Senate and Speaker Of the House OF Del
egates.
Great interest Is felt in this matter by the
wool growers of this State, aud there was en-.
tire unsnimity Of opinion as TO the propriety
Of agitating this matter in all the associations
