Republican Wrafh-The Coming
Beer Gardens.
There has been a great deal of excitement
in this city since election day, especially on
the temperance question. The Republicans
lay their defeat to the heavy vote polled by
the St John party and there has been a
great deal of hot blood. They claim that
the votes cast for st. John have defeated
the Plumed Knight of Maine and that the
temperance people of this city will rue the
day that they voted for st. John.
All of the Methodist clergymen in this
city voted for and advocated the election of
st. John and they are catching thunder
from the Republican portion of their re-
spective congregations. The poor clergy
men say that they voted as they prayed
and have done right. Some of their flocks
are filled with wrath and threaten to with
draw from the church, withdraw their sup
port and keep the preachers from getting
their salaries. They also threaten to band
together ana eject men 10 CoulicH He4t

POOR ST. JOHN.
He visited Milville some months ago and
spoke to an immense audience in the First
VI. f. church. He was the lion of the
hour and the temperance people Bonded
the knee and covered him with glory. To-
dav if he were to show Lis face in Mill
vile the probabilities are that he would lie
strung up to the nearest lamp post before
shutdown, notwithstanding the fact that
Mayor Conner was one of his most ardent
supporters.

are current concerning the woeful things
that are going to happen to this peaceful
temperance city after the municipal election
next spring. A bitter opponent of st. John
told reporter that a movement was on
foot to turn the Workingmen' Institute in
to huge beer garden, where foamng beer
is to be handed around by female walters
dressed in gaudy attire and free show
given every night; that prominent citi-

4 reporter asked a clergyman yesterday
what he thought of the exctment over the
temperance cause.
The clergymen replied, when any of
my church members demonstrate with me
for supporting st. John | show them the
the 3Sth and Both verses of the 9Th chapter
of Acts which read as follows"
And now / say unto you, refrain from
these men, and let them alone; for if this
counsel or this work be of men, it will come
to nought; But if it be of God, We cannot
overthrow it; lest haply we be found even
to fight against God. MllpWe Trans
