Our Rights Denied.

The following resolution was Of.
fered in the Point pleasant Demo
cratic Congressional Convention
and voted down:
"Resolced, That it is the sense Of
this Convention that the people Of
this State have a right to vote on
the question of prohibition"
How any Convention, especially
a Convention calling itself Demo.
cratic, and composed of American
citizens, can have the consummate
arrogance to thus boldly deny the
right Of people of free state to
vote upon the question of the Ii
quor Traffic, is hard to compre'
hend,
A Convention which takes such
an absurd and untenable position
is unworthy the name of Democra'
cy, and deserves the scorn and con-
tempt Of a free people.
Such doctrine is not Democracy,
is not Republicanism, is not COM
mon sense-in fact, is nothing az
all except an abject confession that
the body which puts it forth has
servilely resigned its claims to po'
litical freedom and bowed its neck
to the degrading yoke OF the Wills
KY rabble.
Will the sturdy independent vo'
ters of the 4th District sanction
such outrageous action?

The Republican Convention.

The Wood County Republicans
met on Saturday to choose dele
gates to the Congressional and
Senatorial Conventions. A plat
form was adopted containing the
following resolution:
We arraign, as contrary to the
spirit of our Government, the con-
duct of the Democratic Legislature
in refusing to give the people of
this State an opportunity to dis
cuss and to vote upon the proposed
Prohibitory amendment to the
Constitution, and we favor the sub
mission by the next session of the
Legislature to the voters OF this
State of such an amendment.
This is an indication of progress.
The Democrats of Writ county
also adopted a submission resolu-
ton.

GRANS VS.. STONES.
We're Throwing Now to Hurt.

We gave considerable space, last
week, to the matter of Mr.. Hudson's
letter under the head Of "The Free
man Indicted" We did this for
the reason that the letter, coming
to US direct, furnished US an OPP
portunity to refute the slanderous
clamors in the same vein, that
come to US in vague volleys
through our exchanges, and which
we hear from mad partisans wher-
ever we 60.
It is very easy for a bitter Re-
p1bls can to charge that the Free
man never did this, always did that,
and so on, and just as easy for a
surly Democrat to swear the Free
man always did this and never did
that. But none of these ratings
prove anything.
From the time the Freeman was
founded, its editor has been hearth
ly in accord with the general poll
cy of the Temperance people Of the
State, as expressed through their
regular Conventions, and Execu-
tive Committees, regularly appoin-
ted.
The policy Of grass.throwing was
honestly and faithfully tried, till,
at the Grafton Convention, it was
decided to try what virtue there
was in stones; and the Freeman
has been whacking away with
stones ever since, and so have the
Prohibition boys all along the lines.
And it is no surprise that somebody
is getting hurt. We are throwsng
to hsgt. But to every charge that
the Freeman isn't Throwing fair"
we demand the specifications, and
will refute them every one, just as
we refuted the charges made in
Mr.. Hudson's letter, with the re-
cords and the facts. See last weeks

Organize the Forces.

In the raging conflict between
the Home and the Saloon, the
great need of the hour is oroanS-
satien. The policy hitherto follow
ing OF sharpsAoottng and bsshwhaek-
ing on the skirmish lines of the
old parties has been only effective
in annoying and e1asperating the
enemy.
What is now wanted is a
thoroughly organized, compact line
of battle, and a bold charge right
into Liquordom's Headquarters.
There is no longer room for petty
parleying and bargaining over
temporary terms and advantages.
Unconditional Surrender lie the de-
mand of the hour, and bold
charge all along the lines will
secure it.

The Conviction OF the Chicago
Anarchists.

Every lover of liberty and order
has cause for sincere thankfulness
that the trial of the Anarchists, for
completely in the murder of several
policemen, at the time Of the Hay
market riots in Chicago, has result
ed in the verdict Of guilty and the
sentence of death. The doctrine
that the right Of free speech and a
free press carries with it the right
to incite arson, riot and murder il
intolerable,
1t destroys tho very foundations
Of liberty, and places the lives Of
innocent men, women and children
in the power Of the most desperate
set of fends that ever went in
human form. The diabolical plots
of these villains must be suppressed
if it costs the life Of every Anarch-
list in the land. Happily, there
is little cause to fear that the re-
suit of this trial will prove abor-
tive. 1t was conducted fairly and
honorably by judge who seems
to fully realize the gravity of the
occasion, and it is not likely that
any grounds can be found on
which the verdict can be set aside.
Fortunately, too, there is no
possible political advantage which
the Governor could gain by a par
don or a communication of the
sentence. The enormity Of the
crime aroused such indignation
against it's perpetrators and such a
strong desire that they should re-
ceive the full penalty of the law
that the Governor who would dare
to interfere would meet with such
storm of rebuke as few men
would be willing to encounter
There is no room for red-handed
Anarchists to ply their trade in
free America. Law is the bulwark
of liberty and must be preserved

An Illogical Conclusion.

Woman Suffrage Attacked on Nsa0
Grounds.
"Time was when we were strong
| " of the opinion that could wo-
men vote, they would soon put
down the liquor business; but we
confess that cur faith has been
somewhat shaken. There is no
bar in the place where the present
writer gets his dinner, daily
Hunts Hotel-but there is one
next door, and when anyone calls
for wine or beer, the waiter goes
into the other place and gets it.
There are often days together when
we do not see glass of liquor
brought in for a man; but we
think that during the past six
months we have seen more women
than men sitting at tables with
glasses of liquor before them and
yet the women do not number one
quarter as many as the men. If
we were to judge by what we see
in that dining room, we should say
that the women of Cincinnati
drink more than the men do. Gin
cinnati's hill top resorts are pat
ronized by both sexes; and though
we have never visited one of them
during an evening, yet we are led
to the conviction that there is very
little difference between the two
sexes in the matter of liquor drink
ing in those places. No, it is not
so clear that the women can be re-
lied upon to vote for Prohibition"
Journal and Messenger.
We have looked long and anx-
iously at the above paragraph to
see if we could not find some indi-
cation that the writer did not in
tend it to be taken seriously; but
we are sorry to say that we can find
no such indication. How the sdi-
tor of the Journal and Messenger
can be led, by the incident he re-
Iates, or by anything else, toignore
the glazing fact that the number
of men who either condone, or in
dulge in, the use Of intoxicants, is
immensely greater than the num-
Der of women who do SO, is past
our comprehension.
Such conclusion as he arrives
at, and from such premises, is i'm
measurably nore illogical than it
would be for some chance visitant
at Hunts Hotel to regard the pres
ence of the editor in a room with a
crowd of drinking women as evi.
dence that he is in the habit oil
seeking dissipated company, which
we all know not to be the
case.
No, dear Journal and Messenger,
tsnere may be arguments against
woman suffrage, but all opposition
to it on the theory that our wive.
and sisters and mothers are more
favorable to the liquor curse than
men, must ignominiously fail.
