Methodist Ministers for Gen. Harrison.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Your readers, as we'll as yourself, have no
doubt noticed that only q few Of the Methodist
ministers of the State have as yet said anything
publicly upon the issues of the present presi-
Dental and State campaign. A majority of
those who Eave spoken have let it be known
that the great desire of their heart
Is to defeat the Republican party. Sueerstgat
the 'free whisky plank as they falsely call
it, are INDUCED in by them without thinking of
the free-trsde plank. They have beenl heard
TO say that the Democratic party has done more
for the soldier than the Republican party.
From the silence of the majority of the Method
list ministers. il may be assumed that we are in
different; but this is not so, but il we speak our
sentiments we are called politicians. and 10
league with the whisky-dealers. The third
party has made the subject of prohibition
q political question, and upon 1t
desire to ride into power and secure the
emoluments of the Offices Of our Nation. 1t has
been asserted, also, that by the action of the
last General Conference the members and min
listers of the church have have been bound to
vote with tho third party. This is not true; we
are now. and have always been, left free to cast
our vote with the party whose principles We
have individually thought to be correct Only
a small percentage OF the Methodist ministers
of. this State are third party men. Hon. Ben

Whisky In sickness Is q necessity as much as

is not to be brought about by heavy taxation,
