THE PROHIBITION sBLI,-oUT.

The Journal has already said that it has
proof that the subscription list of the Monitor
Journal, which assumes to be the organ of the
third party Prohibitionists, has been placed
at the disposal of Democratic candidates, so
that they could address them their letters, in
closing ''pasters." The evidence is con-
stantly accommodating showing that Mr..
Shiel, at least, is lending himself
to the Democratic party, and affording, in
so far as he is concerned, corrobora-
tive proof of "a secret alliance" between the
ayers of the third party canvass. That there
is such an alliance is as morally certain as
any fact can be. Everything goes to prove
it. It requires neither postscript 'jokes"
by Smart Alexis" nor argument to
demonstrate it to any man Of ordinary
intelligence, who can put two and two to-
gether and know that they make four, and
who is not so blinded by his malice or self
conceit as to ignore the principles upon which
men of common sense proceed in the ordinary
affairs of life. This charge is nothing new.
1t does not depend upon any newly-found
testimony. 1t was patent the day of the
meeting of the ''two conventions" and
a very large number of the best
temperance men of the State recognized
the fact at that time, and declined to
be led into the Democratic camp by the
schemers. A great many, however, thor
oughly honest and conscientious, adhered to

WOULD it be improper to say that at least
it was indelicate for young ladies to wear
badges bearing the legend "Tell the truth"
with the significance it earliest 'Tell the
truth" are the words put into Cleveland's
mouth when the story of his immoralities was
first given to the public. ''The affair that he
does not deny" and to which 'Tell the truth"
refers, was that he debauched a v%irtuous
woman and deserted her when she bore him
an illegitimate son. The young ladies of
Springfield who wore that badge of shame will
live to despise themselves on account of it.
