INDIANAPOLIS. May 80,

Pr0f. Samuel Dlcklo called the
Prohibition National Convention
to order this morning in Tomlin-
son Hall. More than 5000 persons
were present. wo-thirds Of these
were delegates and alternates. The
assembly was purely American in
it's character. Five great flags
bearing the Stars and Stripes
dropped from the ceiling to the
platform. Bunting was generous
ly used to set off the long white
strips of canvas bearing notices
rejecting party sentiment.
Above the platform was an
immense banner, with the double
motto,
''No sECTIoNALIsM IN PoLITICs,'
"No SEX IN CITIZENSHIP"
Many delegates arriving on
morning trains marched in large
companies direct to the Hall.
When st. John made his way
through the crowded aisle to the
Kansas delegation, he was recogniz.
ed, and greeted with wild cheers.
The New Jersey men came in be-
hind the orange banner of the Y Dung
Mems Prohibition League. They
were led by their chairman, who
carried at shoulder arms crank OF
bronzed tin six feet in length, The
Convention saluted their symbol
with stunning shout. The New
York delegation received the ap.
plause that is always bestowed on
New Workers in National Conven.
tions of every party. The utmost
good nature prevailed.
OUR CANDIDATES ALL ALIVE.
Chairman Dickie called to the
platform the Presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates of the last
four campaigns. First came James
Black, of Pennsylvania, and the
Rev. john Russell, OF Michigan,
who ran in 1872 with 5,708 votes.
Neither Green Clay Smith nor
Gideon T. Stewart, who composed
the ticket of 1876, were present.
The Hon. Neal Dow, of Maine, and
DR.. II. A. Thompson, of Ohio, who
led the party in 1880 with 10,305
votes, received an ovation as they
came forward. William A. Daniel
of Maryland, absent, but John P
st. John, the hero of 1884, Yves
welcomed with mighty shout as
the candidate who raised the vote
to 152, 454 votes in that year. Miss
Frances E. Willard, of Illinois, and
Mrs. Mary T. Lathrap, of Michigan,
were also invited to the platform
amid general applause. After sing
ing America" the Convention
opened with prayer by the Rev.
Sam. Small. Prof. Dickie then
said:
"While it is fact that of the
sixteen Republican and Democrat
ic candidates nominated during
the last sixteen years only four re-
main to this day, the eight NOM
inees of the Prohibition party are
by Gods providence preserved to us
till the present hour"
An outburst of applause followed,
and at the Chairman's suggestion
the delegates rose and sang, "Praise

ADDRESS OF WELCOME AND he
sPoNsE.
Don't set the cause back t,oenty gears !''
Col. Eli F. Ritter, of this city,
made the address of welcome. He
said the statesmanship of this
country had gone to seed, and no
better proof of it could be afforded
than the fact that the leader of a
great party had announced as one
OF the principles of his party plat
form that tobacco is a necessity.
Laughter. The speaker dsclar-
ed "the war is over; the brave
men quit fighting in 1866" and
the delegates rose up frorn their
seats and cheered. eff you are"
he included, "what l take you to
be, you are welcome to Indianapo-
lis. Yanks and Johnnies, you are
welcome all. l have but one
thing to urge upon you in making
your platform-don't "set your
cause back twenty years."
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
Organization was next in order.
The names of the Rev. Henry A.
Delano, of Connecticut, for tenn
porary Chairman, and ]. B. Gran
fill, of Texas, for secretary, were
presented and endorsed with en-
thusiasm. Both are comparative.
ly young men, but they stand high
in the councils of the party. On
taking the chair, Mr.. Delano re-
piled to Col. Ritter's address in a
few well-chosen words. He said
eve are here, North and South,
to stand for God and Home and
Native Land. Old issues have
passed away. Achilles pauses in
his tent. A gentleman wanted to
know if there would be many
'cranks' here. l hope he is here to
see for himself. / thought at that
Prohibition meeting in New York
it would require a special &C.

Methodist Church out of our party,

A GAvEL FROM THE ST. JOHN EFFIGY
POST.
Delegate Needham, of Kansas,
presented the Chairman with q
gavel of historic interest. He
stated that it was made from the
post on which st. John was hung
in effigy by the Republicans after
their defeat in 1884. The gavel
and its history created a sensation
and st. John was called for on all
sides.
"My friends meant well on that
occasion; )" said the tx Governor as
he responded to the call, "they had
to be doing something, and they
thought hanging somebody in
effigy would put back the prohibi-
ton cause twenty years. But
thousands who would have hang
ed US in effigy in 1884 are with US
to-day. The Democratic party
went out of power because it hang
ed men in effigy for their opinions
on the slave question. 1t ought to
have served as lesson to the party
of moral ideas"
PERMANENT OFFICERS.
The roll of States was called and
the Committees on Permanent Or
ganization and Credentials selec-
ted. The Convention then ad-
iourned till three o'clock on the
motion of Prof. Dickie, who stated
that the National Committee
thought the Convention should do
honor to the day set apart for de-
corating the graves of the dead
soldiers of the Civil War. On reas-
sembling the Committee on
Permanent Organization recon-
mended the following officers !:
Chairman, John P. st. John, of
Kansas; Secretary, the Rev. Sam
Small, of Georgia; Assistant-Secre-
taries, J. B. Cranfill, of Texas, and
Mrs. Matte Mcclellan Brown, of
Ohio.

MS remarks he said: "The wires
bring US news to-day that one of
its leaders, feeling that Republican
Babylon is crumbling, has conclu-
ded not to be caught in the fall. !"
Johnny D. Finch, the only child
of the late John B. Finch, was
presented to the Convention, and a
gold medal commemorative of the
action of the National Committee
last November was formally pre-
sented to him. The medal was in.
scribed, Adopted as the child of
the Nationa! Prohibition party of
America, at Chicago, Nov. 80,

Second Day.
5000 PRoHIBs BOILING OVER WITH
ENTHUsIAsM.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 81, 'SS.-For
hours this morning, immense
crowds were wedged in the streets,
waiting for the great doors of the
great Tomlinson Hall to swing
open. At every point Suffrage was
the chief matter of discussion.
Two handsome vases filled with
lilies of the valley, almost hid ex.
Governor st. John from view when
he called to order the second days
session of the National Prohibition
Convention.
Prayer was offered at 10 o'clock
by Rev. A. M. Richardson, of Kan.
sas, and the routine of business
went along smoothly until the re.
port of the committee on rules was
presented.
THE FIRST LIVELY sKIRMIsH
On the suffrage issue came in
considering the report on Order of
Business. The Report limited all
speeches to 5 minutes. The Anti
Suffragists, led by Walter T. Mills,
of Ohio. and DIN and Richmond
of Wisconsin, fought valiantly for
more time, but were overwE elm
ingly defeated.
WIVES AND MOTHERS THERE FIRST.
Hon. Geo. G. Christian of Chicago
insisted that the question had been
thoroughly discussed for months
the land over, and the minds of
delegates were all made up. He
said, illinois mas been flooded with
anti-suffrage documents, but the
fact is that our mothers and wives
got in their work first, and Illinois
is solid for the plank.
A memorial of the Prohibition
martyr, Rev. George Haddock of
Iowa, was adopted by a rising vote
of the vast audience.
And now came the most touch

determination of
