Mr. 1T. Johns Remarks

Mr.. Chairman and members of the COM
mittee-ln receiving this formal notice of my
nomination for the highest office within the
gift of the people by the national convention
of the prohibition party, permit me. notwith-
standing that the distinction was neither
sought nor desired by me. to answer you in
the view of the unanmity with which it was
given, of my high appreciation of the very
great honor it confers There are more
political parties in the field today than there
are political issues. Upon the great question
as to what should be done with the traffic in
intoxicating liquors, as an average. both the
democratic and republican parties are united
in favor of making the traffic permanent,
while the prohibtionists demand that it shall
be forever placed under the condemnation of
the laws of the land. Thus an issue is clearly
made, and think it is safe to say the only
one today that really reaches the heart and
conscience of the citizen. Let US appeal to
reason rather than prejudice. Let those re-
sort to personal abuse and scandal who have
nothing better to uphold their cause. The
prohibition party was not organized as mere
threat or menace. Its Outgrowth of rapidly
increasing crystalized sentiment against the
great evil of the age, an evil that the old
parties dared not attack, but against which
this young party of people in defense of the
homes of the nation has entered on warfare
that shall never cease so long as the flag of
our country waves its protecting folds over
legaliOed dram shops. In this struggle let us
remember that we are accountable to God
that our duty to him is paramount to our
allegiance to any political party that political
lies will never in his sight excuse a ballot for
any party that does not stand up fearlessly
for the right. Home will have nothing to
fear if the people vote as they pray.

Mr. Daniels Remarks.

To the Chairman and Members of the
Committee am profoundly gratified for
the honor conferred on me by selecting me
as one of the standard bearers of this great
reform movement. accept the nomination
for the Office of Vice President and expect
to do so more formally by letter hereafter,
knowing well that it is one of responsibility
and involving little of personal sacrifice. and
| appreciate this honor, not merely as a per-
sonal one but as a token of the appreciation
ofthe convention of the earnest, solid pro-
hibitioD work that has been done in my
native State, Maryland, within a few wears
past. | also appreciate it as an indication of
the desire of our brethren of the great North
and West to obliterate all sectional lines and
to build up grand union patty composed of
the best elements on both sides of the line in
array against the worst and representatives of
protection to homes everywhere as against
saloons. This disposition is more clearly
evinced from the fact that | am the fret per
son selected from southern State as a can
didate for national position. and / trust
that this action may be a harbinger of that
reign of harmony, good will and unity
throughout the land, which the poet has de-
scribed as the union of lakes, union of lands,
union of States none can sever, union of
hearts, union of hands and the flag of the
Union forever. Whatever may be the result
I of this effort so far as the precise number of
votes polled is concerned, believe the agi-
tation will be Of immense advantage 10 the
cause and the country. believe the result
will be to attract earnest, thoughtful atteD-
| tion Of the American people on this liquor
traffic, this gigantic crime Of crimes, as TO
cause the speedy adoption of such measures
as will greatly hasten its overthrow. The
duty of the hour is to crystalize and organize a
prohibition sentiment We have already
gone into political action and having this
standard to which we can rally, we shall rap
idly form whatever else of sentiment that
may be needed than in any other way. /
have but TO say in conclusion that / shall do
all in my power now and henceforth TO bear
| on this prohibition standard,

The May Basket Sociable in
Duties Hall last evening, was not
very well attended on account of
the inclemency of the weather. All
present enjoyed a good sociable
time. "There was some speaking,
some singing as you might expect,
and everything was done for social
effect"
Farmers will learn that there are
more-mcney making schemes for them
than wheat raising, but it will be
some time before they dc. Raise more
corn, and feed it to your cattle and
hogs; you will always find market
for it in that shape. Five good fat
hogs will bring more in money than
10 acres of wheat, and the trouble and
expense of raising them is very little
in comparison.

Mr.. EDITOR. l was partaklne
OF my constitutional meander in and
about town the other day. l came in
contact with some members of the hog
family. 1t is true they are forbidden
to parade the streets by vote of our
town, but what is evervbody's busi-
ness is nobody's business. therefore
they are allowed full control of our
back yards and even the front doors
of our stores and shops. That the hog

by no means in proportion to the
magnitude of its frame, but the pro-
longation of the vocal sounds indicate
TO the mind of the writer that the
lungs Of the animal are capacious and
his larnyX Of the most enduring ma
ture. believe these hogs to be con-
glomeration of the Berkshire, Suffolk,
and all other kinds of hogs. Their fur,
especially that on the ridge of their
back, is of a sandy color closely con-
nected to the moustache of some of our
young men we see every day. 1t is of
a stiff and elastic nature, totally un-
fitted for the production Of hats, but
is nevertheless genuine fur and not
wool. and therefore is not a similar
substance to the covering OF Sleeps
backs and African craniums. These
hogs owned by Mr.. - are somewhat
a credit to our town from their breed.
1t could easily be seen they we're not
nearly matched in reaction and func-
tion. consequently could not easily
decide as to their relative merits tor

and continued. and for a long time
victory was doubtful between the two
