He said, prohibition is pre-emi-

day. 1t lies at the base of all the
other reforms that this country
now needs, and it will not be long
till the strongest forces of this Re-
public, the agriculturists and the
working men, will combine their
efforts in fixing it permanently in
the Constitution of the nation.
When they do this, the same COM
bination will elect proper officers to

NEW JERSEY STIRRED UP.
Prohibition Enthusiasm at White
Heat.
The following is from Prof. A. A.
Hopkins last Lecture Bureau let
ter.
Read it and get walked up:
x x x Three years
ago attended the State Conven-
ton at Trenton, and there were
forty delegates present with a doz-
en- lookers-on. Last week the del
egates numbered 500 and there
were spectators by the hundred.
The convention well matched ours
of last year in New York, 1t was
rare and unapproachable in char
acter. The spirit of it was de-
lighttul. Its enthusiasm swept
forth with contagious effect. l
put it beside our gatherings at
Pittsburg and Syracuse in mem
DRY and shall always be glad l was
there, Neither time nor space is
at command to tell about it in de-
tail. General Fisk presided tenn
porarily and permanently, and he
is the ideal chairman-so ready, SO
CHEEKY, so prompt. He had Sc
ries of vacations each day.
White-haired Horace Waters set
everybody wild that first after
noon by saying in his five minutes
speech that he had come over from
New York to help nominate Gen.
Clinton B. Fisk for governor, and
the thing was as good as done
then and there. But would Gen.
Fisk accept? That was the ques-
ton. His letters were in the pos
session of many gentlemen saying
he could not. The nonnies had
been claiming him as their own.
He was clearly and avowedly with
us his friends knew it, and the
public ought to have known it by
abundant proof; but would he
lead?
On Friday word went around
that all doubt had been SIT aside.
Judge Ferry, Gen. Fjsk's intimate
friend, whom he had sought to per-
suade into Candidacy, would &C.
oept. So the general decided he
must. And when they nominated
him by reclamation that morning,
enthusiasm found its climax. 1t
was like the scene at Pittsburg af-
ter St. John had been nominated.
When Gen. Fisk said at last; II
shall serve," the air was rent once
more for minutes with a storm of
cheers. Hats waved in the tumul-
tuous air. Handkerchiefs foated
about like big snow fakes. Men
shouted themselves hoarse. Till
finally some delegates started sing
ing praise God from whom all
blessing fow," and the whole con-
vention joined in, and tears ran
down strong faces, and General
Fisk stood there quivering with
emotion, his face shaded by one
hand and the spirit of gratitude
hushed every heart.
They raised about $4,000 to push
the campaign. They have plat
form that is tremendously pointed
and powerful; they have a leader
more popular than any other man
in this State; through him they
will command great help from the
Methodist church, of which he is a
conspicuous layman; they have
many able and influential men in
their ranks, and you will see lively
work in New Jersey this season.
