A saiemitc at thc Prohibition aOn.
Venstnn.

MIR. EDIToR:-I attended the National
Prohibition Convention held at lndianap-
oils, Indiana, on May 30th. and thought
wonld give you a few Of the impressions
gathered there, though You no doubt heard
fully from it through the newspapers.
We left Philadelphia at twelve o'clock,
May 2Sth, and were dne at indianapolis at
noon on the following day, but Providence
ordered otherwise, as on the afternoon of
the 28th heavy storm accompanied by
hail occurred in the mountains of Pennsyl-
yania, which caused landslide from
the mountains near the noted Horse
shoe Bend covering the railroad track to a
depth Of from four to six feet, with stone
and earth, which it took 100 men five
hours to remove, thus OBTAINING Onr arrival
at indianapolis until the evening of the
Goth.
After being we'll quartered at the Grand
hotel, we took occasion to hear the
world renowned Sam Small speak in
large tent, which was crowded to over
flow ing. Some of the delegates attended
the contest which was going on, called the
"Demorcst contest for medals offered by
w. Jennings Demorest for the best ora
tioDs ON the subject of Prohibition, th G
contestants being young men and women
under twenty-one years Of age.
On the morning of the 30Jh the Conyen-
ton was promptly organized by the cleo
tion of Rev H. A. Delano, Of Connect-
cut, as temporary chairman. Mr.. Delano
is a Baptist minister, and few years ago
was threatened by one of the good deacons
of the Church over which he ministered,
that if he prayed at certain Prohibition
meeting which was about to be held he
would kill himself together with his flock.
The good man consulted with his wife,
aud the plucky little woman told him to
pray and die, if need be, and he dii pray
and lost the pastorate of his church as a
consequences.
The convention was of very large pro-
portions, being composed of more than a

the dramshop door over against her home.
They always took it as their major premise
that man and woman were TO work on side
by side, shoulder to shoulder for the pro-
hibition OF the liquor traffic, and that this
meant going together to the polls.
Gently. bnt with the persistence of grag
itation, they went to mems conventions,
wrote their resolutions and placed them in
the hands of some good man who was al
ways there ready and glad to help these
women" steadfastly they reasoned of
Righteousness, temperance, and judgment
to Gomez they utilized post-oflice, press,
and telegraphic wire; pulpit and platform
always saying 'Prohibtion first, womans
ballot afterward: both are parts of one
tremendous whole; what God hath joined
together let no man put asunder,"
Truly ''we have what we take the most
pains for, and women must be up and
doing, if in these days they expect the CO.
operation and fealty of men in politics,

have done this, the ruling power repre-
sented in the manhood of church and state
has said, 1T shall be as You wish;" wher-

pre-arrangeDlent Of plan; s,oeet reasonable
ness in debate: patience IN defeat; inuinci-
Jility in purpose, these on the part of
women command not only the respect, but
the brotherly goodwill of American men.
There is no other way out; there ought to
be no other; and 80 my brain plans, and
my heart pleads, and my purpose strives
with WOMEN, that they pray deyoutly and
then hammer away stoutly. speaking unto
the children of Israel, that they 90 foracard,

this, no earthly inspiration comes to me
with greater charm, than when think of

call of that Illinois voter whose voice rang
out in one of our campaign songs of the
early day:
"Rally then, rally then,

Give women Home Protection,

May this chorns re.echo through the
