THE AuNriEs IN JERSEY.
Prominent Anti-Saloon Republicans
~ Suuelched by the G.. c. y.

Prominent Anti-Saloon Republicans
m souelched by the G. c. -.
The anti Republican saloons got the
better of the anti-saloon Republicans in
the New Jersey state convention recently.
John Y. Foster and DIR. II. X. Carroll, who
are prominent anti-saloonists, were de-
feated by men who were in sympathy with
the saloon interests.
The most notable feature of the day
was the clash that marked the meeting of
the anti-saloon and the liberal" wings of
the party. The latter element made it.
self heard before the committee on or
ganization when it was proposed to report
John Y. Foster, q prominent anti-saloon
leader, for permanent secretary The
pressure against him was SO strong that
the name of Mahlor II. Pitney, of Norris
town, had to be substituted for the sake
of harmony.
Foster is editor of Frank Leslies
Weekly, and has been secretary of Re-
publican conventions and of the Republi-
can state committee ever since the war,
but has of late mixed too much anti
saloon with his politics to suit his Essex
county neighboTs Mahlon H. Pitney, of
Morristown, was put in his place. Eos
ter's sacrifice was not down in the pro-
gramme of the leaders, but they concluded
that it would be only fair to let the con
vention have it's own way this once, es-
pecially as they didn't care much for Fos-
ter anyhow. So nobody made any fight
for him. s..-. . st
Later in the day Foster came to the
front, but only for another knock down.
Franklin Murphy. of Newark, had pro-
posed DIR. Hermon II. c. Herold, gentle
man of liberal views on the liquor ques-
ton. for alternate delegate at large, when
Mr.. Foster sprang to his feet. and, in
measured language that was meant to at
tract attention, named DR.. Henry X. Car,
roll, editor of The New York Independent
and prominent figure among the tenn
perance workers of New Jersey. The bal
lot resulted in the defeat of Carroll.
The anti-temperance element put itself
again on record IN the convention during
the reading of the temperance plank in
the party platform, which is as follows:
And protection of the homes of the peo-
pie by the due restriction of vice and in
temperance and we congratulate the leg
islature of this state on their honest,
earnest and courageous efforts to restrain
the evils of the liquor traffic and indorse
their action

reference to the liquor traffic there was

Georgia Temperance Men Demand State
Prohibitions. and No Sumptuary Plank.
The Georgia State Temperance conven-
ton met in the state house in Atlanta.
The convention was not under the aus.

nothing more nor less than an anti saloor

dresses were delivered by Rev. J. B. Haw.

strongly favoring state prohibition law,

ton party .-,5.
A large number of resolutions were in.
troduced, which were referred to the com
mittee on resolutions. Among the reso
buttons was one calling on the state
Democratic delegates to sec that an anti.
sumptuary plank is not inserted in the
Democratic platform by the st. Louis con.
vention.
1t was decided to nominate Legislative
tickets on the single issue of statutory
prohibition for the state, and it is ex,
ply between prohibition party and a
rum party. r
A mass meeting was held the night pre-
ceding the convention. Sam Small was
the orator. In closing his address he
said: make prohibition a square issue

effort deliver Georgia. Let's have reign

sly sherman symp.thi.e..

Sherman's letter to the anti-saloon Re.
publican convention tells the result of his
long experience q in the temperance work
of Ohio. II certainly would support all
reasonable measures tending to restrain
the evils that flow confessedly from tho
sale of liquors in the saloon. Tho remedy
depends SO much upon the state of public
opinion in the community in which the
law is to operate that no rule of prohibi-
ton or even regulation can be success
fully enforced in all places alike. In Ohio
we feel that taxation. regulation and local
option are the best methods that can be
devised. but stronger even than these are
the moral Influences and examples Of
those who mold public opinion. ~.

Hamilton Again Attempts -.lurder-Dy.

The Press Utters No Word of Protest.
How Long, oh, Lord How Long?
Col. Jopes s. Hamilton, the murderer Of
Roderick d. Gambrell, has made cow
ardly and, in intent, murderous assault
upon another Prohibition editor. B. 2.
Hobbs, editor of The Bookhaven Leader,
is the victim of his rage this time.
Mr. Hobbs is an able young man, O
warm Prohibitionist and an active sym.
pathizer with the sentiment that has
called for the punishment of Gambreil's
assassin. He is, however, moderate and
conservative, and not one of the hot
headed spirits whose words have been so
fiery since the Jackson tragedy. He at
tended the Hamilton trial at Brandon, re-
porting the proceedings for his paper,
with appropriate comments upon the dis
closures. and the disgraceful result.
After the Adams Martin tragedy at
Jackson, Mr.. Hobbs boarded the train for
that city. He carried heavy valise and
made his way through the car, looking for
a seat. At the door he passed Col Hamil-
ton and his brother-in- law, DR.. Robert
Buck, who were on the train, returning
from New Orleans.
Finding no seat in the car, Mr. Hobbs
turned back. Hamilton and Buck had
followed him. and as he turned they con-
fronted him. Without provocation and
witho,A warning Hamilton struck Hobbs
a blow in the face Before Hobbs could
recover, Buck had covered him with his
44-caliber revolver, and, remarking that
Hamilton was unarmed, shouted Twill

armed. and replied that that was no place
for such difficulty. but that if Hamilton
and Buck wanted to murder him to "blaze
away" His two assailants then left,
probably checked from further assault by
the crowd in the car. ak ga
In Shippensburg, Pa, J. G. Rummell is

banishing the saloons from the town.
He is now one of the candidates on the
Prohibition electoral ticket. On the morn
ing of May 12 the front of his store was
blown out by an explosion of dynamite.
There is no doubt that the outrage was
committed by saloon men. Tne

templar of the L o. G. T., was recently

tions. Sands was prompted to the act by
the spirit of revenge and the encourage
ment of the liquor sellers of the county.

pear at the next term of court

There is disposition on the part OF
the republicans of Dakota to urge upon
the national convention the right OF the
party within the territory 10 full repre-.
sentation in that body upon the basis OF
population. If Dakota was q state, or.
two states, it's quoto In the national CON.
vention would be twelve votes. AS the
natiousl republican party is committed
in favor of statehood for Dakota. it can
not with consistency refuse its demand
for full representation in the national
nominating body. To be consistent
with itaelf we are inclined to the opinion
that Dakota should seek no partioipa-
tion in the nomination of q candidate it
cannot help elect, butlf Dakota goes
into the nominating convention there is
no reason why it should not ask for it's
full representation. There will be no
greater inconsistency in casting twelve
votes than in casting two votes. II the
territorial convention decides to elect
twelve delegates they should all be
placed upon the same footing. The pro.
position to select two delegates who will
be certain OF admission TO the oonven-
tion and ten delegates who will be only
applicants for seats, il carried ont, would
be confession of uncertainty when
there should be no uncertainty. II the
territorial convention is OF the opinion
that Dakota is entitled TO twelve dele
gates itahould send twelve and among
this twelve there should be no difference
in standing to be alike entitled TO
seats. Fl the national Convention decides
against Dakota's demand the twelve can
be admitted and accorded one-sixth of q
vote each. The delegation will then be
strong in numbers if not in votes and
the Six hundred thousand Dakotaians
will be more fully represented than by
the lesser number. This matter Ia to be
l,decided at the jamestown gathering OF
the 18th inst. to which delegates from
Yankton county will be elected next
Saturday.
