Non-Partisan Tempe.ance Work.


The non-partisan W. C. T q. has discov-
cred, or rather is following, for it is no new
discovery, the only effective plan Of tenn
perance work. In circular recently sent
out from Cleveland it states that more than
fifty towns in Ohio have closed their saloons
under provision of the Dow law, and adds:
%In every town where prohibitory ordi-
nance has been passed, it is the result of q
non-partisan movement OF the people. Pro-
hibition, under the local option law, in
Georgia and other southern states, has been
gained by non-partisan effort. The lines
that divided the people into the wet and the
dry were not coincident with the lines that
divided the two great parties, and there was
no third party. The more than S2S, ,0O0 votes
cast for the second amendment in 1885, repre-
sented men in all parties Only by a nom
partisan effort can municipal prohibition be
gained in any town in this state"
Mr. o. D. Cotton, secretary of the Non
Partisan Temperance union, is emphatic in
his declaration that only by the united action
of temperance people in all parties on a nom
partisan basis can the temperance cause be
advanced. He closes an appeal to temper
ance workers in the following language:
"Let those who are partisans or nothing
shout praises or denunciations according TO
party interests, but let those Of US whose citi-
zenship and temperance principles are above
mere partisan advantage lay hold Of and use
to the utmost any and all law that can be
used to either restrain, suppress or prohibit
the saloon traffic, and at the same time let US
seek to arouse and develop temperance senti-
ment Thus shall we the most surely and
the most speedily suppress the saloon and So
cure prohibition. Let US, whether Democrats
or Republicans, cease trying to reform the
people by first reforming parties and turn
our attention and energy to reforming the
people of which the parties are composed

MR.. BUCHANAN's LETTER.
BARNEsvILLE, o., Oct. 9, 1884.
DEAR SIR: Mr.. Taylor, please excuse
the liberty l assume in addressing you
in this style, but justice and the inter-
est that | wish to manifest towards you
| fully demands it. 1t is not necessary
for me to state that We are strangers,
that you will readily perceive. My father
fought and was disabled in the Mexican
war, consequently am working in your
behalf, although l have always voted
the Democratic ticket. I have an op-
portunity of getting six or seven Demo-
ocratic voters cast a vote for you, provI-
| ded you assist in the matter. l will
mention no names, but they are low
class of men, that in my business come
in contact with every day. l have pre-
vailed on them and they have given me
their terms. l am quite limited in cir
cumstances or l would comply. l am
not trying to bulldoze,, or neither am
trying in any way to defraud you.
would refer you to James Cosgrove and
John Anderson of your place, father OF
| Thomas Anderson, attorney at law. This
matter must be attended to by Sunday
or Monday, at least, that is if you deem
it necessary. These parties know moth
ing of me writing. am certain of six
on certain conditions. If you wish ref
erence from this can give you the best
as regards my standing. Let me hear
from you anyhow, whether you present
me few dollars or not.

desires you to see Mr.. Graves and make
such arrangements as you may deem ex-
pedient, provided the demand is not
greater in your judgment than the re
