President, closed series of temperance meet
ings at this place last evening. He delivered a
a political speech Saturday night and urged all
temperance people to vote the Prohibition ticket
in the future. Calling upon all Republicans
who would vote the Democratic ticket if that
party would declare in favor of prohibition to
hold up their hands, number of hands were
raised. Calling upon all Democrats who
would vote the Republican licked under similar
circumstances TO hold mp their hands, one
hand went up. There many Democrats
who belong to the organization as Republicans.
Mr. Tanning very unfair in his speech.

SAID that the Repu bllcans in this State were con-
troiled by the liquor element, and that the tenn
perance blanks they had placed in their plat
forms were only intended to dupe the temper
ance people. The most ridiculous statement he
made was that while the Democratic party does
not favor prohibition it does not propose un-
do what the Prohibitionists have done. He
said that the Democratic party was used a
check TO hold the prohibition cart where it had
been drawn by the third party, and that the
Democratic party would not let the cart go
back. He dwelt fully an hour upon George B.
Cox, OF Cincinnati, a saloon keeper who is a
prominent Republican leader, and dismissed
