Paco1vad Tbot xua haI;aua ~ bo ,,;oo;olo
of prohibition and demand its enforcement
against the liquor traffic, and that in the Pro-
hibition party lies the only hope OF securing
this end;
Resolved, That we congratulate the Prohi-
bition party on the results of its twenty
years set back" as shown by the wonderful
growth of the party since 1884, and by the
auti-saloon disintegrating movement in the
Republican party which has been forced by
the defeat of this party by the st. John
campaign. praise God from Whom all
Blessings Flow
Resolved, That in the death of Rev. George
G. Haddock we recognize martyr to prohi-
bition by the hand of the saloon power as
upheld by the impotent enforcement of law
and connivance at crime by the Old political
parties, who are in league with this rebelious
foe;
Resolved. That by their history both the
old political parties, in their relation TO
monopolies and the oppression of labor have
shown themselves unworthy of confidence
and that the new growing party of Prohibi-
ton, soon to be in power in both state and
nation, and which b as from the beginning
declared for the rights of the laboring classes,
is the only hope of reform and we bid these
reformers welcome to our party and our
work.
Resolved, That we hail with delight the
grand movement among the Scandinavians
towards prohibition and we do see in this the
negatiOn of the assertion that the foreign
population would always carry the state for
the liquor interest. This foreign element will
help redeem this state from the LIQUOR
power.
After some discussion of the matter of
assessments, the convention adjourned.
after instructing the county committee to
fill all vacancies.

AS an appropriate wind-up the conyen-
ton listened to half-hour address from
Elder w. W. Satterlee. who in a highly
sarcastic manner dissected Blaine's bid for
the Prohibition vote. At the Cincinnati
convention that nominated Hayes. he said.
Blaine had tried to capture the liquor vote
by saying that our home industries must be
protected meaning by that that the indus
tries which make drunkards should be sus-
tanned. Now he is trying to catch the Pro-
hibitioniStS with the same chaff. He ey
pressed himself as decidedly hopeful for
the future, being certain that the principle
of prohibition within a few years will con-
troll the government. state and national.
He predicted that an amalgamation with
the workingmen will soon be made.
