This is the verbatim report OF Mr.
Mills statements az given In the Exam
liner this morning. The Examiner say
the explanation ought TO be satisfactor,
and induce prohibition Democrats TO vot
for Mills.
The Day, this evening, says Col
Mills statements, as published above
were OF course read with general interes
to-day, both by Prohi0ltlonists and ant
ProhibltiCnists. The Day made carefu
note Oh the CRITICISMS IRON both quarters
There were some antl-Prohibltionlsts win
said they Thought Col. NILS had mad
a very satisfactory explanatlon--had don
himself great credit, In fact-and tina
Prohibition Democrats should cease dis
playing lukeWarmness In his behalf
Others (anti-Prohioitlonists, too said IN
explanations ala not better matters much
that II would have beer wiser in MI
Mills to have NOT said anything at all, un
less prepared to enter complete an,
thorough denial OF the allegations.
general remark with the gentlemen
giving this latter opinion was; "Mills ha
been very indiscreet. Why couldn't h
have followed Coke and Ross exampl
and avoided the subject OF prohibition al
together He was not called on to ex
press himself. F" With Prohibltionist
(and nearly all OF them are Democrats
there was general sentiment that MI
Mills had not bettered matters at all
Here and there one said, "Well, Roge
means well and this VIII teach him
lesson. We will have TO try him again !,
Bat the men OF this view were very fey
indeed. AS a rule, judging from tn
consensus OF prohibition opinion
