Gathering of the ProIsibitionists Last Night
-Ringing Speeches by DR.. Satterlee and
C. e. Holt.
rison hall, and ringing speech was deliver
ed by Rev. w. w. Satterlee, upon the attitude
of the prohibition party in the municipal
campaign, and upon its adherence to Mr..
Wyman, the peoples candidate, whom it
had endorsed. He said the prohibit
tionists were bound in honor to
give their united support to Mr..
Wyman and so ives every man whose sig
nature was attached to the call made upon
that gentleman to become the candidate of
law and order in the approaching contest
for mayor. The prohibitionists endorsed Mr..
Wyman and in doing 30 they proved their
willingness to combine with good citizens of
all shades of political opinions in getting a
reformed administration. Mr.. Wyman was
asked to run as an independent candidate
by men of all parties and
he said, II am your candi-
date, gentlemen, and will stand so until the
close of the polls on election day." The men
who called upon him made an honest con-
tract and pledge to adhere to him, but some
of them now back out since the Republican
convention. The Prohibition party has de-
monstrated its willingness to 60 half way, nay
two-thirds of the way, to meet the Republican
party, but what have the Republicans done.
The men of that party who signed the call
are now ordering their names to be
stricken off The are endeavoring by every
suggestion to get Mr.. Wyman to withdraw
and to get the prohibitionists to fall into line
yield up our eternal principles and coalesce
with them. Mr.. Wyman is a conscientious
citizen, who is urged by fair means and foul
to get off the track for Pillsbury, but he will
not do it, despite all the interviews in news
papers, and all the stories you hear to the
contrary.
We shall hold steady and calm. No need of
fretfulness ON our part. We shall act eau
tiously and carefully. We have exhibited
the good sense to fall in with the movement
of the majority, and thus have evidenced
both wisdom and good judgment. This mat
ter will terminate all right Mr. Wyman will
run as the peoples candidate and will stand
by the men that stand by him. The vacillat-
ing Republican signers to the call
are now twirling and twist
ing, and none more so than the
most keenly. Mr.. Wyman is ignored, be-
cause, forsooth, he is not an intimate ac-
quaintance of Washburn: Fletcher, Sabin,
Gov. Hubbard and the other Republican
bosses. If the Republicans undertake this
kind of campaign, they will get enough be-
fore they are through. The Republicans
have been in power in this state for the past
twenty years and what have they done in all
that time for the cause of temperance and
moralitys
way and we need expect no mercy from
them. They tell US we have no right to petit
ton the legislature for prohibition as it
when they get into cramped place they beg
of us to help them out. We have no more
sympathy with the Republican than
with the Democratic party. The
Republicans are unrepentent. We
shall stand upon two principles, -anti-rum
and anti-bossism in political parties and we
will win.
Chas. Evans Holt followed in few peril
nent remarks, during which he said the pro-
hibitionists had now firm grip that they
never had before. Mr.. Wyman was in
hearty sympathy with the cause of prohibit
ton and would not retire from the contest
despite the garbled interviews and
lying stories circulated. The party organs
are guilty of wilful Misrepresentation, and
frequently give interviews and speeches
which are the very opposite of what was said.
The interview reported as being held with
Mr.. Wyman should not be credited until he
spoke himself.
Mr.. Albert A. Lawrence then announced
that on Monday evening a citizens meeting
would be held in Market hall, where Mr.
Wyman himself would talk and explain his
