PRINCETON, July 1s-Pursuant to call pre-

tiers OF this county met here, yesterday, to dis
cuss the subject of temperance, and take some
action with reference to the campaign. The
meeting was organized by electing Rev. N. F..
Gill, Of Fort Branch. chairman. a heated dis
cussion took place. in which some advocated the
nomination Of a separate prohibition ticket, at
indianapolis, while others opposed it Speeches
were made by large number Of those present,
and the Republicans are satisfied that
the meeting was nothing more than
Democratic scheme which failed to do what
its projectors expected The two men most
strongly in favor Of prohibition ticket and who
took especial pains to abuse the Republican
party, are men recently from the South They
claim to be neither Democrats nor Republicans,
but their speeches showed which party they
wish to succeed. After the morning and after
noon had been spent in discussion a committee,
which had been previously appointed, reported
the following
Whereas. No law Is of greater force than the
moral and physical force which sustains it, and
" heress, Public sentiment still falls sadly below
the demands of the temperance cause, and,
" hereas We believe total abstinence and prohibit
ton to be the only eectua remedy for the prevailing
evil of intemperanee therefore,
Resolved, That we will put forth increased effort
to promote sentiment in favor Of total abstinence
and prohibition, and to produce such neral convic
ton IN the minds of men that they will be swayed
BY party prejudice and such conviction as political
parties viii be compelled to respect"
The report Of the committee called forth but
little discussion and the report was adopted as
read, as it had every appearance Of being harm
less. There are many strong temperance Re
publicans here who were not at first very well
pleased with the action Of the Republican State
convention, but who are now warmly supporting
the Republican ticket, and the Democratic
scheme yesterday has made them more deter
mined than ever to see the Republican ticket
successful this fall
