The Monitor. [volume] (Woodstown, N.J.) 1884-1892, 1884-11-28

we have given editorially our opinion of
such proceedings and utterances as those
recorded below:
St John, the ''mustached saint, " was
seen at an early hour last Sunday morning
hanging in front of the house of the pastor
of the NJ E. Church, at this place, with all
inscription pinned on the breast Fate of
Traitors. = SlcedeSbOrO Times, (Rep)
St John was hanged in effigy at Oakfield.
n. V, November H. The Republicans
there loudly denounce the Prohbitionists
to have vengeance by granting licenses to
anybody and everybody who wants to open
saloon. One of them says: whisky
shall run like water in the streets and every
man may fill his cup.-Phtla. Ecentng CAL,
(Rep)
The temperance advocates determined to
teach the Republican party lesson,
and they have. The Prohibition vote of
90, 600 in New York State was composed,
it is estimated, of 1000 Republicans and
3, 600 Democrats, and word now comes
from the temperance towns throughout the
State that the Republicans have determin-
ed, as a matter of preservation, to cut
entirely loose from the Prohibitionists here
after The result will be that such thing
as a no-license town will very soon be I'M
known in New York Temperance Repub-
licans who threw away their votes by cast
ing them for St. John have also thrown
away all the advantages that their cause
has gained. Eeening Cal, Rep)
If the Democrats, in firing salutes in
honor of Cleveland would wad their gun
with Prohibitionists, they would greatly
mitigate the pain which is felt in certain
quarters over their assumed yictory.-St.
Louis lo6e-Dem0crdt, (Rep.)
St John ought to furnish the etfigy of
himself which the people of Olathe pro-
pose hanging of him, as his own corpse.
Suicide will pardon St. John with the peo-
pie of Kansas for the load of political sins
which he has accumulated during the short
space of four or five months.-Rdasas City
Journal, (Rep.)
This city tonight is wild with excite
ment over the election returns, ard the sus-
pense of feeling of both Republicans and
Democrats is great. Both parties are
marching through the street yelling and
cheering as the returns are favorable to
one and the other. The greatest indigna-
ton is expressed by Kansas Republicans at
st. John, whose course i'll New \ DIRK has
led to results which may prove disastrous
to their party, and the eX-Governor's name
is shouted in derision by thousands of Re
publicans now upon the streets. This eve
ming an etfigy of the ''muStached saint
with rope around his neck was paraded
up and down the principal avenues of the
city, followed by bowling mob of fully
3, 900 people At O'Clock the procession
halted i'll front of the Western Union Telc-
graph office and nailed to the telegraph
pole cross bearing the following inscrip-
ton: Sacred to the memory of John Z.
St. John, November 4. 1884. \ rope was
then thrown over the cross bar and the
effigy was soon swinging from the top of
the telegraph pole.
Colonel p. II. Coney, who was conspicu-
GUS as one of the Irish orators in the Ohio
campaign, then addressed the assembled
thousands in the following words: Fellow
citizens: The just Indignation of a right
eous and loyal people of Kansas is here eX-
pressed by the public cxecration and final
destruction of that carpet-bagger, John p.
St. John He has violated every trust and
confidence, and deserves no consideration.
Parade him. Hang him. Burn him. But
be sure and clear Kansas Of his disgracefEl
name" At the conclusion of these re-
marks a match was applied to the etligy
and it was soon burned amid shouts and
ieers of the populace. and the National Pro-
hibition candidate for President went to
destruction in etiigy in the capital of his
State and i'll the city where he lived during
his four years administration as Governor
of Kansas 7opeka (Han.) Special to v. Y.
