LsoturoSin the Opera HOuss on Prohibition,
AFaiE.SEsd Audisnps Present.


Ex.Gov, John P. St, John, Of Kansas,
lectured at the Opera House, last night,
on prohibition. There was . fair house
down stairs, many ladies being present
In the course Of his remarks Mr.. st. John,
evidently disappointed with the attend
Rncs, told OF the crowds he had drawn in
the Southern States, and said the Republi.
cans Of the North, who, inthe earlier days,
had plead for tolerance, ought TO be
tolerant themselves, and willing TO hear
what was to be said on the Prohibition
side. Mr.. st. John was lecturing last night
for an admission fee, 90 that the lack OF =
full house was not necessarily to be At
tributed to the intolerant spirit OF this
community.
The speakers general proposition was
that the saloons are the great curse OF the
land, and that the way TO deal with them
Is through prohibition. He said that
neither Of the old parties iavors prohibi.
to bless either Of them, and therefore can
not consistently vote with either Of them,
and that the Prohibition party is the only
safeguard Of the home. He predicted that
in I've years every Republican Of to-day
would be found either in the Democratic
party or the Prohibition party.
GOV. st. John is q man Of large frame,
ungraceful in his general movements but
not lacking in grace Of gesture, His voice
is harsh and not pleasing, running to 9
peculiar and long-sustained monotone.
His style is free-and-eRsy, Rnecdotal, and
more suited to the political stump than
TO the lecture platform. He is not q rea-
soner and deals little with argument. He
Is at his best in sarcasm, which he uses
with good effect, in mimicry, which he
uses with skill, and the telling story to
illustrate point. Good humorsd himself,
he kept his audience in good spirits, often
bringing down the house with laughter
and applause. Thelecturs was entertaining
throughout, though somewhat marred by
an indicate cockroach story. Thslectursr
was introduced by Rev, ], O, Hull, who
sat on the stage with Rev, DR., Cunning
ham, Rev. Walter r. Long and j. NJ.
