We are here a. a great national politi-
c1l party. full Of independence, honesty of
purpose. and hope Of saving the country
ultimately from the follies and crimes Of
the politicians Of other parties. | leave
personal abuse to people and parties that
have nothing better | am here to defeat
both tie other parties. Until last June

voted that ticket when it cost something
to do II. but when the Republican Ma
tioa1l Convention could recognize the
right Of wool to protection. and refuses
t. recognize the wisdom Of protecting
our homes against tile curse Of the liquor
traffic. was done with that cowardly
party. It should be beaten and will be
beaten It refused the request Of that
blessed little woman. Frances 4. Willard
who made It in behalf of the Women ;
Christian Temperance Union, 70 pat into
the platform declaration in favor Of
temperance It feared the Infamous
liquor traffic. and ignored the homes OF
the land
Referring to an appeal signed by Re
publican prohibitionists, and published in
the New York TrsJ,sos, asking him 10
withdraw because he was hurting
the Republican party, the speaker said;
4 also find in that paper an appeal from
a brewer - his fellow brewers not to
desert the Republican party, as it has
fo3tcred anil protected the brewers inter
ests. Mr. st. John said that If the sign
crs OF the first mentioned appeal ARE
the enemies Of the dram shop, they should
have asked Blaine and Cleveland to with
draw. SHALL never retire from this fight
as long A. the flag Of the United States
floats above and gives protection to sin
gle ram shop in this land 1t is too
late for the Republican party to ask any
thing from us. They cannot feed the
/ Prohibition party on tafy any longer
/ will answer that petition at length, but
NOT now, and will ask the 1ri1uae, and
the Republican press to b. fair and print
my response. That appeal shows that
the Prohibition movement is confusing
the politicians 1t is no longer cloud
a. big as a man hand. In Ohio, Michi-
gan and Illinois we haze had such meet
ings tia, tine Associated Press did not
dare give a fair account Of them
M. ST. John spoke Of the increase Of
polygany' under the Republican rule.
and then criticized Mr. Blaine's record
on the temperance question. lie said Mr.
Blaine was ZOO cowardiy' to vote on
tine question at the September election
ia MaiMe. lie was intimidated" the
speaker said by $4,000 saloons.
His excuse was that prohibition is a
local question. Four years ago a man
said tile tariff was local question.
The speaker said the reason why he
gave little attention To the Democratic
party was because for twenty-four years
that party had not influence enough ITO
moyca setting hen from hereggs. Besides. :
he said. the Democratic party has never
prJmisedus anything" 1t has been frank.
