The convention then resolved itself into q

never before witnessed at a meeting in the
county. When q Brown man would offer res
olution the Leyden crowd would howl him
down, and the same would be done by the
Brown crowd when Leyden man would make
motion. Major W. Funk, prominent law
yer here, is Browns champion, and he stood
upon the platform all day in his shirt sleeves.
The Leyden men made repeated threats to re-
move Funk from the platform but he would
fold his arms aud defy them to undertake it.
He WAS called Republican by the Leydeu
crowd and be applied epithet TO them which
reflected on their ancestors. Every other man
in the crowd WAS drunk, and the others were
not sober by any means Finally vote was
taken upon the question OF ins structing the dele
gates to the congressional convention to vote for
Leyden. and although fully two-thirds of those
present voted against the motion the chairman
declared it carried. The delegates to the State
convention were instructed to vote for Hon. w.

convention were instructed to vote for George
X Gwartney for prosecuting attorney. Brown
will not abide by the decision of the chairman
in declaring the county instructed for Leyden.

The Phoenix gives this week a report
which embraces all the essential points
made by Mr.. Penniman in his third party
prohibition address on Tuesday evening.
That few temperance people agree with the
view of the situation as stated by him goes
without saying, but there is small need Ia
enter into an argument on the subject The
course of the Republican party in Vermont
in granting every demand made by the pro,
hibitionists, in the way of the most string
ent laws which it is possible to frame, is the
best argument that can be advanced, so far
as that party is concerned. The need of
special recognition of the prohibition idea
in call for a party convention is not ap,
parent, and if the speaker had been entire,
ly fair and consistent he would have recog
nized that the platform which was adopted
at Burlington expresses the fullest sym
pathy with all effective temperance work,
The aptness of the allusion to bull-dozing
in Vermont is not altogether apparent, but
we are glad TO know that the third party
adherents never use SANDER as a weapon
Will they admit it to be also true that they
never represent as unfriendly to the tenn
peranee cause those people of stanch tenn
persnce principles who do not happen t.
agree with them as to all of the best meth
ODDS to be employed in temperance work
