THE GRAND oPERA-HouSE CONVENTION
The convention at the Grand Opera house will
select state central committee, the chief work
of which will be to influence the
temperance people to vote for no
candidate for the Legislature who does not favor
constitutional submission or constitutional
convention. They will make strong fight upon
the Legislature but will make no effort in behalf
of State ticket. They will adopt resolutions
declaring themselves unalterably attached to the
cause of prohibition, and they will never cease
laboring until it becomes part of the Constitu-
ton Of the State. They viii further declare that
they will vote for no man who will
not pledge himself to work for constitutional
convention or the submission to the vote of the
people of an amendment in favor of prohibition.
They will not indorse the platform of any party.
1t is especially desired that the ladies who are
interested in the temperance movement attend
the State prohibition convention, which is to be
held at the Grand Opera house, beginning at 10
o'clock this morning. Good seats will be pro-
vided especially for them

WHAT Mr.. REYNoLDs sAYs


E. B. Reynolds, the president of the State or
ganization, in speaking yesterday afternoon to a
journal reporter of his reasons for opposing an
Independent political movement said: tThere
are more than seventy five per cent of the tenn
perance people who want nothing more than an
opportunity to vote for prohibition.
The political prohibitonists, making the
strongest fight that it is possible for them to,
cannot get more than 5000 votes. Fully nine
tenths of the temperance Republicans are salts
fed with the declaration in favor of a constitu-
tional convention. and that declaration is in
harmony with the position have occupied all
the time. We have favored the submission idea,
but the constitutional convention would bring
us nearer the object for which we are working.
We could not possibly get submission in
less than FIVE years. A constitutional CONVEX
ton may be held within twelve months. 1t is
the best opportunity that we have. We cannot
hope for the success of prohibition ticket, but
the success of the Republican party is very
probable. If we Join in a movement which will
work to its disadvantage, we can expect no favor
from it after it gets into power, and it now offers
us the best we can obtain
Mr. Reynolds believes that Sylvester johnson,
DIR. Brown, and many of the other temperance
people who favor the independent political
movement. acting upon sincere convictions,
but he thinks that there are others who have
been urging it who are actuated only by motives
of personal ambition or a desire to help the
Democratic party.

THE TEMPERANCE PEOPLE.
The Outlook for the Two Conventions
To Be Held To-Day.
Indications that the Greenbackers Will Cap
ture Mr.. Shells Meeting-What
Mr.. &. B. Reynolds Thinks

The prohibition conventions which are to De
held here to-day will probably be larger in in
terest than in size. A few temperance people
who desired to take part in the proceedings,
arrived in the city yesterday, but the number is
small and it seems that many of the counties
in the State will not be represented Head
quarters were opened at the Grand
Hotel, yesterday, by the faction on
posed TO the nomination of State
prohibition ticket, among the prominent
leaders of which are E. B. Reynolds, J. B. Con-
ner, Hon. viii Cumback and DR.. J. A. Houser.
Although they have no hope of preventing the
organization of an independent political move
ment, they claim that they have succeeded in
preventing many from joining it, and they have
met with some rather encouraging success in
their work. The charge that Reynolds and
Houser had endeavored to prevent many prohi-
bitionists from attending the convention called
by Shiel is emphahcally denied by both of those
gentlemen It is the intention of Reynolds,
Conner, Houser and their followers not to attend
the Shiel convention. Mr.. Reynolds yesterday
proposed. if the prohibition partsans de-
sireda fair representation of the temperance
people to divide 1000 tickets of admission to the
convention equally between the leaders of the
two factions, and it should be agreed that
no one but those who are known to be
friends of prohibition should be admitted on
either side. Shiel declined, however, to give any
consideration to the proposition, and it
is announced that none but those who are known
to be in favor of the nomination of ticket will
be allowed in the convention.
