| During tile week We nave asks q
about 100 persons for an opinion in
regard to the assassination Of Rev. G.
C. Haddock as it stands related to the
temperance reform The following
| are among the replies received
ROBERT WEST, EDITOR CHICAGO ADVANCE.
Mr.. Haddock has, | think, accom-
plishcd more for the cause in his death
than any ten men can in life. His
blood will cry for vengeance against the
| liquor power and God win hear the cry.
REV. R. S. cANTINE
There can be but one thought in
the matter Of the death Of Haddock.
He died as martyr, and the blood of
martyrs viii be avenged, not BY blood
but by the overthrow of the rum pow :
er in Iowa.
A. K. TULLIs, PASTOR NJ. E. CHURCH,
MAcoMB, ILL.
Iregard the murder Of Rev. g. O.
Haddock Of Sioux City, Iowa, as both
cowardly and villainous, and stands
as one of the strongest assurance of
The downfall of the rum traffic.
REV. JOHN ALABAsTER.
The best evidence that cause is
l
bad is its resort to violence and mur-
der. The saloon has given an unmls-
taxable proof of its inhuman spirit.
Yet let temperance be encouraged for
when lawlessness uses bombs and pis-
tolls the people wake up.
PROF. SAMUEL DIcKIE.
The murder Of Mr.. Haddock is the
natural result of a mistaken policy,
that of expecting private citizens to en-
gage activity in enforcing law. It
teaches the import of competent Off
cials elect and sustained by constitu-
encv determined to destroy the wretch
ed traffic
R. W. BLAND, PASTOR WABASH AVE
N. E. CHURCH.
An institution which seeks to per-
petutate its existence by resorting to
assassination will not much longer be
harbored by the American people. 1t
is not TO be wondered at that the in
direct cause Of crime should occasional
~ take direct hand in it.
l. c. PITSER.
Infamousl A dastardly outrage
which ought to open the eyes Of Iowa
and the whole country, to law-defying
ani reasonable character of the sa-
loon element. Ii this does not result
in sweeping every open saloon out Of
Sioux City, and the state of Iowa
then will justice fail.
REV. J. NJ. CALDWELL.
The nation is ready for war, and
the newspapers have columns daily be-
cause Cuttings personal imprudence
occasioned his arrest and detention In
a jailor's private room. One of Gods
noblemen sought the enforcement of
law, and was assassinated by the
whisky demon. No one proposes war
against the saloon, and the newspapers
are silent
W. T. MeLoY, PASTOR FIRST UNITED
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Violence and intimidation have new
er in the end helped any cause.
Brave men will not be made towards,
because of the foul murder committed.
Satan has oyer-rcached himself and
aroused the friends of reform. Rev.
Haddock has not fallen in vain. Yet
he is only one of many strong ones
slain by this liquor interest.
REV. w. II. HOLMES.
Rev. Geo. G. Haddock, by his death
becomes the Owen Lovejoy Of prohi-
bition. LoveioY was killed because he
was an Abolitionist, and Haddock was
was killed because he was Prohi-
bitionist-one of the working kind.
The reason why the saloonists hated
him was because he did something.
His death viii prove him Sampson.
Let cur watchword be: .sRemember
| Haddock"
sAM WOODS, QUINCY, ILLINOIS.
Human slavery triumphed in the
murder of Elijah P. Lovejoy, but from
his grave aroge spirit that crushed
the life out Of the traffic in human
flesh. History repeates itself; and sa-
loonism triumphs in the murder Of
Rev. Geo. G. Haddock, but from his
ashes Phoenix like shall rise a Meme
sis in the form of awakened conscience
that will throttle the traffic iu human
souls. The Lovejoy Of our reform has
| fallen; ballots are weapons, let freeman
avenge his death.
GEO. c. w1LDISc, PASTOR NJ. E. CHURCH,
/ MONMOUTH.
The atrocious murder of tue heroi.
Haddock should, and will l trust, put
new strength in the arm and new
courage in the heart of every tru,
Prohibitionist It should make rs Al
one man in the battle against thi
cowardly and murderous foe. Gu
watchword should be: mo ccmpro
mise, the accursed saloon must gol''
