Maybe while I'm on the moral side OF
the question no one will rise on me.
They may wait till Sam Small gets on
the political side this afternoon, but l
tell you now that il they do, he'll be
ready for 'em. I've seen 'em rise on
him, and then I've seen him ride EN-.

to q giraffe, and want some fun. Sub

those in the front rows.
In discussing temperance and prohibi-
ton in their moral phases man must
take sides. I'm on Gods side, and I'll
stay there. You can always tell the
character OF meeting by those you find
in the amen corner. Go to political
conventions and see the red.nosed, pot
bellied brewer and distiller politicians
who sit in the front rows and work
things, and ask yourself il you are on
their side. Let this State go "wet" next
November, and look at the gang that
will shout! All hell and the denizens Of
the hell-holes OH this earth will rejoice.
II you vote with them to defeat the
amendment viii You be in their
ranks shouting with them? Now
every man that votes with the Amend
ment forces ought to shout, and there
are none on that side to make him
ashamed to shout. There are not enough
devils in hell or men on earth to keep
me quiet, and Pm going to shout and
speak out and say what mean, and ii
you don't like it, ole fellah, you can cut

got heah-whar is he, by the way? Oh,
thar he is and big Excel was called out

Dispassionately say il We can't agree
on this question let's agree TO disagree.

putting n stop to drunkenness and the
milking OF drunkards, and If you abuse
me for what am, abuse me because l
am the friend OF the drunkards and their
poor, suffering wives and families.

Some men say that if man is honest

God shows what is right and il one fails
to do right he not only knows it but
sooner or later his neighbors will know
that he is not doing right. 1t tickles me
to see the attempts made by some men
to be considered Temperance men. To
Christian man loyalty to Christ and
the right is the supreme thing. Then il
Christ is on the side Of Temperance
what is to keep Christian people from
supporting it. know OF some people
who say that they would have voted for
the amendment in this State il the
Third Party had not stepped in. Now
they say they'll vote against it. They
remind me OF the boy who promised his
mother to be good, but because Jack
did wrong, the boy did not do as he had
promised to and explained it TO
his mother by saying that he was bad

about the two old parties. It was said
that the Democratic party was the
whisky party. Soitis-they don't deny
it. They shy: "Yo' right, ole feiiah!

Here he propounded the inquiry
whether it wasn't time for some one to
get up on his hind legs and how now ?"
The exact quantity OF beer in the "hrew-
er's belly" and other cheerful remarks
of like naturelwere laughed at heartily
by the front seat occupants.
Pm not here for Fiske! No matter
who is elected, vote the curse out. This
should be year for God and Home and
Native Land.
OF local option fights he had, after
having considerable experience, a
rather poor opinion. They were merely

He said there were not hundred men

"niggers" back to them. The men Of the
South have accepted the situation, and
it will be the same with the saloon keep

them they will be glad they were whip

Samuel got big farewell round Of APP

SAM SMALL APPEARs.
At 8 o'clock in the afternoon there
was very large audience in the audi
torium to hear Sam Small's first talk.
He spoke for nearly two hours. For
prohibition, Small said, he wanted u free
ballot and fair count.
He made an analysis OF the Mills bill
and the revenue .planks Of tile two
parties. The difference amounted to
but 10 cents per head per year. He en-
deavored to heap ridicuie on the tariff
as an issue. He said he had four tickets
