CHARGED WIrq ILLEGAL VOTING.
A Youag Man Arrested on UnIted statel

A Youag Man Arrested on n UuIted States
Warrant Yesterday.
Willard Stout a Republican, was ar
rested late yesterday afternoon on a
warrant issued from Commissioner
Forbes office, charging him with having
voted illegally at the last National cleo
ton. According to all reports the annoy
ance to which Mr.. Stout has been sub
jected is the result OF spite work, there
being no foundation on which such an
arrest can Justly be made.
Several months ago, being out OF work
here, he went to Pittsburgh, having
been offered job there, and took his
family with him, so us to have them by
him, but not with any intention OF Civ
ing up this State as his home. Having
finished his job in Pittsburgh he return
ed to Wheeling. Previous to the cleo
ton, having some doubt rs to his right
to vote here, he consulted lawyer, who
advised him what to do, which was to
present himself at the polls and explain
his situation. Following this advice he
went to the polls at the old court house
aud told his story to the judges, DR.. g.
Baird, Philo i. Kimberly and John
Frew. He was put under oath, his bal
lot adjudged a legal one and accepted.
Now he is put under arrest after acting
in the honorable manner detailed.
After Stout returned here lie went to
work in Cox & Morrison's boiler yard,
and is now out on n strike with the 9TH
or employees in the yard, against the
breaking Of an agreement by the firm.
Stout claims that Mr.. Cox is at the bot
tom OF the arrest.

If it does represent such majority,
what objection is there to it? Is it
not the proper, safe, legitimate
ruling power, according to our sys-
tenn of government and ideas of
liberty? Will not an overmaster-
ing public sentiment make a party
to represent it, and find expression
in constitutions and institu tions-
in statues and public policy7 If
this Third Party represents such
sentiments, why protest against
its effort to secure the adoption of
its proposed policy? What good
will the defeat of a measure, good
and necessary in itself, independ-
emily of the Third Party, or of any
or Of all parties, do? Would it not
be better to assail the issues of this
party, expose its follies, and coun-
teract its sentiment, than to try to
spite it by the foolish and futile
course OF defeating the Amend
ment? In fact, shall we not be
compelled, finally, to beat it by ar
gument. or by giving the people
what they want, or be beaten by it?
6. Whose rights are infringed by
the organization of Third Party,
anyhow? Who hath ordained there
should be two parties and no more
in this country? By what law are
the people compelled to vote the
politicians Republican ticket, or
Democratic ticket, or be disfran-
chised? Why shall not any party
or any number of parties, that can
get support enough to exist, be al
lowed to exist? Will not loyal
Democrats stay Democrats, and
loyal Republicans stay Republi.
cans? Will the liberty of the peo-
pie to vote as they please be taken
away by forming a new party, or
parties :? And how, especially ho,o,
in the name of common sense, hov
can Third Party be prevented, or
any evil that a Third Party may
do be prevented, by voting against
the Amendment?

MARTIN THORNTON.
Surprises his Friends and
StartIeS his Enemies.

We don't mean that Martin
Thornton of the New Brunswick
Hotel, Wheeling, has any enemies,
only as ordinary business competi.
tors are enemies, but he startled
them all the same, when ne settled
the rent question the other day by
purchasing the New Brunswick
outright for $4,000.
While, year after year, his COM
petitors in catering to the public
have come and gone, flashed up
with loudly pretending restaurants,
and disappeared as suddenly after
a few weeks or months, Mr.. Thorn
ton has held right on, building his
reputation in the hearts and tastes
of his patrons, until now he has a
delightful home for his guests,
whether for a meal or for days.
The New Brunswick is nicely
furnished from roof to Easements,
with the best of fare and the clos
est attention to the comfort and &C
commodation of all guests.
We advise all FREEMAN readers
who visit Wheeling to lose DO time
in making the acquaintance OF
Martin Thornton, at the New
Brunswick, 1135 and 1877 Market
Street. He will greet you cordially
and treat you we'll.

l want to do what 1 can for the
FREEMAN and the great cause of
Prohibition. 1t might have been
better for the Amendment if the
organization Of the party had been
deferred till after the election next
fall, but since the party had to
come, and since it was already come
and that to Stay and Grow until
there will not be room in all this
broad land for single Saloon,
have accepted the situation with
out single regret.
l hear people say they are in
favor of the Amendment, and yet
they howl at the "third party" and
say, "That Settles the Question"
1t does not settle the Amendment
question, but it does settle the Dues
ton as to whether they are friends
of the Amendment, and shows
clearly that they are only working
for the old parties under whose
fostering care the Saloon business
has grown to be a ruling element
in American politics. The sooner
the Prohibition cause gets rid of
such pretenders the better it will
be for it, as pretended friend can
do vastly more harm than a known
enemy.
Again l hear people say they
will not vote for Prohibition until
it becomes q National issue.
This is another miserable pre-
tense, as anybody ought to know
that it cannot come in that shape
until its friends by untiring efforts
push it to that end.
Let the watch word still be "The
Saloon Must Co."

irg's largest Rink on Thursday
last, all day and evening. The
program and meetings had been
wisely planned and were most suc-
cessfully carried out.
A large company of singers, led
by J. Melvin Richards furnished
excellent music throughout. With
Hon. G. w. Atkinson in the Chair
the days work was introduced by
devotional exercises, conducted by
Rev. W. G. Riheldaffer of the M. E.
Church.
The first address was by
REV. j. GIBSON CAN'T,
of the Episcopal Church, on "The
Relation of the Prohibition Amend
ment to Personal Liberty" 1t was
mastery sweeping away of all
the fallacies of the time-worn cry of
personal Liberty" as defense of
the wrongs and crimes Of the Liz
uor Traffic.
MRS, JENNIE M'CLURKIN
followed with an able presenta-
ton of "Woman's Work for the
Amendment" Her address was
an earnest and eloquent plea for
the homes of West Virginia; nor
did she fail to severely arraign the
men who were too Indifferent or
cowardly to defend their own home
circles against the encroachments
of the Saloon. She was heartily
applauded and made lasting i'm
preston on the audience as she
never fails to do.
REV. 8. e, JONES,
Presiding Elder, Wheeling district,
NJ. E. Church, stirred up the SEN
sation of the day in his able dis
cussion OF "The Press as a Factor
in Temperance Work" He justly
and fearlessly denounced the secu-
lar and political press as being
largely on the side of the Liquor
Traffic, and in suggesting possible
reasons for this, pressed 80 heavily
on the corns of the Wheeling pa
pers, that Brother Hart of the In
telligencer, who was present, winc-
ed audibly and sensationally. The
Importance of wide circula-
ton of papers, aggressively advoca.
ting the Amendment, was urgently
pressed upon the audience.
APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES.
Before the meeting adjourned, at
noon, the following appointments
were made:
Committee on Organization, Rev.
S. E. Jones, Hon, G. W. Atkinson,
Rev. J. Gibson CAN'T, Rev. r. F.
Randolph, and Rev. A. l.. Jordan.
Committee on Finance, Hon. G..
W. Atkinson, William Hastings
and J. M. Clouston.
Secretary, W. q. Riheldafer.
REV. DR.. R. F. RANDOLPH,
of the Fourth Street M. E. Church,
was the first speaker in the after

hibition Amendment to the Com
mercial Interests of the State and
There is no room here
for any attempted report of this
splendid address. 1t was a brief,
compact and most striking presen-
tation of the liquor question from
the business and economic stand
points. Application was made for
the address in full for the FREEMAN,
and it IS hoped it will be published
as campaign document.
REV. DR.. r. H. BLAIsDELL,
Of Wheeling Female College, dis
cussed the most important topic,
upon what Basis of Organization

State be United p
This address was listened to
with special anxiety and interest,
as the question to be answered was

partles. he appealed to Republl-
san voters, Democratic voters and
Third Party voters, to 60 to the
polls in November, and with one
mind vote for the abolition of the
greatest curse of modern times.
Rev. Mr.. CAN'T, was called and
made stirring plea for united ef-
fort to close the rum sh ops of West
Virginia.
CAPT. M'cLuRE IN THE CHAIR.
At this point Mr.. Atkinson
called Capt. John Mcclure to the
platform and introduced him as
President of the afternoon meeting,
he having been unavoidably de-
tanned till now.
JUDGE j. L. CRANMER,
discussed The Relation of the
Amendment to the Public Veal"
in an earnest, practical and con.
vincing address. In drawing on
his personal experience, he said,
nine-tenths of the crime in Wheel
ing was caused by drink. His pre-
sentation of the saloon iniquities
OF the city was in itself a most elo.
quent plea for Prohibition. Judge
Cranmer's voice should be kept
echoing for the cause, throughout
the campaign.
THE EVENING MEETING.
ADDRESSES BY REV. M. J. SLEEPY
AND DR.. NoRCRoss.
In the evening Judge J. L. Gran
mer presided. There was large
audience out to hear an address
specially to working men, by Rev.
M. J. Sloppy, of Monongahela city,
Pa, and another eloquent speech
by DR.. A. H. Norcross, of Pittsburgh
Female College. The first address
was especially earnest, practical
and convincing, and was richly en-
joyed, while DR.. Norcross in follow.
ing had to speak against a rafting
rain on the tin roof and was at a
great disadvantage in presenting
his sweeping logic and unanswera-
BILE arguments. He insisted that
the greatest evil in society to-day is
intemperance, and the only remedy
is to stand together and vote the
Liquor Traffic out of existence as
you will do next November All
the anarchy is brewed in saloons,
all the riots that have occurred in
the past ten years were brewed in
saloons, and the respectable, peace
loving portion of the public are be-
coming tired of it and the result in
West Virginia the coming fall will
fully demonstrate this.
THAT SAVING CLAUSE.
In opening his address DR.. Nor
cross said, 81 am here to make
non. sectarian, partisan and
perhaps, nonsensical address,"
Why the able and eloquent speak
or was thoughtful to add that last
saving clause, was not manifest
till near the close of his address,
when he advised the Prohibition
lists to learn wisdom of the liquor
men who are too wise to organize
political machine of their own.
This was the only nomsemsicaI sem
tence in the able speech, and must
account tor the saving clause in
the introduction. An all.sufficient
answer to this nonsense would be,
that the liquor men have no occas-
ion for new machine, while they
already own and control two great,
full grown National parties, as the
speaker substantially attested when
he added, "The saloon power has
always been too wise to set up a
party of its own, but they use their
influence upon the two political
parties to secure what they want,
and they pretty generally succeed"
