The following letter from Bishop
Galloway to the Clarion-Ledgerfu fully
explains itself, and demolishes any
third party movement in Missis-
sippi:
"In your issue of July 5th. a com
munication appears entitled "Masons
and Saloons" written by Z. g. De-
Lap. With his views a. Il Mason on
the recent action of the Grand Lodge
| have nothing to do, not being "a
member of the order. But to one
passage ! have a right to object. Mr..
DeLap says:
"'I am aware that the Mississippi
Prohibitionists claim that theirs is
not a political movement, and yet
last, weeks issue of the Clarion
Ledger contained a call signed by a
Bishop of the NJ. f. Church South,
for Il State Convention, and for what
! purpose No other, in fact, than TO
| nominate electors for the Prohibition
candidate for President, Clinton b.
Fisk. If this is not a political move
| will feel grateful if some Il who
knows, will tell me what does con
stitute a political movement".
at will be observed that Mr.. De
Lap aftirms positively that the pur-
pose of the proposed State Prohibi-
ton Convention is no other, In fact,
than to nominate electors for tue
Prohibition candidate for President.
Having written the .''call' myself
affirm as positively that no such pur,
pose dictated it and no such action
has been proposed. The following
Declaration adopted some years age
in State Convention, and reatlirmed
at each annual meeting, has been the
unvarying policy Of Mississippi Pro
hibitionists: We further declare il
to be our conviction that the cause
of Prohibition should not be entan,
gled with politics. Without disturb,
ing the party utilization of any citizen
we ask his support Of this great re,
form, which should be sacredly en-
thrOned above the contests for mere
place and power
"In the National Convention which
nominated Gen. Fisk. there was nc
representative from Mississippi,
There may be some friends Of the re-
form in this State who favor a. third
party, but their views have never
been even presented to a State Con
ventiOu. 1t is not the purpose OF
/ those calling the approaching Con-
ventiOn to "nomiuate electors, ana
| have every reason to believe that
the de~Iiverances of the body will be
in entire accord with the non-parti-
san policy of the past
Respectfully,
CHAs. b. GALLOWAY,
