On the day above named, the
meeting was in charge of Rev. W.
L. Burditt, and a well filled house
stayed with us all day. Stirring
addresses were made by Bros. Bur-

meeting progressed. The current
of feeling in favor of independent
organization was regular and
strong, and decided victory was
achieved in spite Of the difficulties
that seemed to be in the way.
A permanent organization was
effected by electing Rev. j. W

rotary, and Revs. E. F. Chapman

Wanted Sledge Hammer.

A recent issue of the Chicago
Inter Ocean contains long edltorl-
al on the resem blance Of the pro-
hibitionists of this country to the
Irish Destructionists of Great Brit
ain. The meat of the cocoanut APP
pears to be in one sentence. "The
third party men here believe, or
seem to believe it is necessary to
defeat the party that has assisted
them, in order to assure their own
success"
If the Inter Ocean means to
claim that all our friends are in the
Republican party, and that the
only way we can get them out is
to break them out, | wish to deny
only the first half of the proposition.
And it is politically and morally
right that the party, or the parties,
which Will not keep time to the
step set by the best elements in the
nation, should be brought under
the sledge hammer of public opin-
ion without delay. Let healthy
thought and earnest will WELD the
hammer; and let no good citizen
mourn over the fragments of politi-
cal hard heads which the vigorous
blows produce. Neither let any
try to separate the Republican from
Democratic fragments. AS they
fall together, so let them lie; a
monument to the folly that would
build without either bricks or NOR
tar-that would construct politi-
cal policy with neither wisdom nor
principle in it.

West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1885-09-09
A Prohibition Policy
Must have a Prohibition Party.

Mr.. EDITOR: l am more than
pleased at the course the FREEMAN
is taking on the Prohibition ques-
ton.
1t is clearly evident to my mind
that Prohibition law without a
party behind it in full sympathy
with its spirit and purpose would
necessarily fail to accomplish the
desired end.
The old parties have come to
consider the votes of their whisky
members indispensable to success.
They cannot hold these votes
and give us the laws which we de-
sire. A great moral reform cannot
obtain recognition in the laws of
the land without its own party be-
hind it, pledged to its earnest and
conscientious support.
The experience of the past proves
shat great governmental reforms
are not effected by old dominant
parties. The plea that we can get
Prohibition through the old par
ties is the rankest kind of non
sense. 1t is the Siren song of the
Liquor Traffic in disguise, leading
only to ruin.
Why does the old party press
keep harping upon the oft-explo-
ded lie that Prohibition in Maine,
Kansas and Iowa, is failure?
1t is a simpl matter of fact, ca
pable of demonstration, that the
casesin which the law is defed in
these States, are due to the fact
that the dominant party is opposed
to its enforcement. No sensible
man will deny that Prohibition
can be enforced by party which
desires its enforcement. This con-
slant cry that Prohibition is a fail
ure, is easily accounted for. "7he
auish IS father to the thought"
During the late war L noticed
that those who desired the war to
prove a failure, were always dis-
posed to think it so.
A Prohibition law can be enforc-
ed easily enough if the party in
power is a party which desires its
execution.
Give US Prohibition law with
Prohibition party, in full sympa-
thy with it, and we will risk its
enforcement.
License and Taration are the fun
damental articles of the Democratic
and Republican faith. How can
they advocate Prohibition
We intend to organize Mason
county soon, and you will hear a
good report from it when we get
our machine in motion.
We will certainly have more
than a mere balance of power in
this county. The FREEMAN is do
ing a grand work, and my desire is
that an all-wise Providence may
continue to inspire it with wisdom
to discern the truth, and frmness to
stand up for the right.
Yours, for Prohibition,
