NEARING TIE END.
ro.lay VIII Witness the Close of IL,

To-day Will Witness the Close Of tho
Third Party Meeting at aIoundsvilIe.
Saturday WAS another pleasant day at
the Assembly hall. The attendance,
however, was very light. At o'clock
3. IN. Rev. T. G. johnson led free par
lament on the franchise, and at l0:3O
Edward Carswell addressed the children.
at the afternoon session the principal
event OF the day occurred, in the shape
OF an address by Sam Small. Not more
than 800 people were present, and the
speaker showed in his manner that the
inspiration produced by empty seats was
not as productive OF oratory and elo.
quence as the presence OF crowd would
be.
His speech was only one of Sam
SmalPs ordinary efforts. He had the
usual amount OF advocacy OF prohibition
and the reasons for his faith. He also
paid his respects to tho Register, copy
OF which he produced, and read a little
editorial squib about himself. The Rey.
,stcr displayed an unusual amount OF
verdancy to notice Sans application for
an advertisement.
In the evening Rev. Mr.. HeIwie, of
Ohio, delivered nm address. The same
gentleman preached the Sunday morn-
ing sermon to good audience.
Had it not been for the rain, which
was falling when the six.o'clock bell
rang Sunday morning, there would have
been a larger attendance yesterday than
on any other day yet. Everybody
hoped that it would clear up, but alas
for human hopes Even when the
afternoon meeting opened the rain was
still falling, and the clouds looked very
threatening. After singing. Rev. Mr..
McClurken led in prayer, after which
some announcements were made.
Mrs. Cougar conducted the meeting,
and said she thought q fitting preface to to
Mr. Smal's remarks would be for the
audience to bow for moment in silent
prayer. This was done, and the speaker
OF the occasion then began his remarks.
He referred first to al editorial in the
Sunday Register, and said he had written
q reply to the editor OF that, which he
proceeded to read. He said, among
other thinga, that that paper had said be
was intemperate in speech at least, and
therefore could not pose as temperate
man. He said he WIS not Il temperance
man. and wanted it distinctly known
by every man in this world and in Hell.
Hall the whisky advocates in this
country are going around saying they
are just as good temperance men rs walk.
He didn't want to be known as tenn
perance man il he had TO bp with those
fellows. He then spoke OF the RESPONSE
bility man shoulders when be votes
for party that ia in favor Of license and
OF the liquor traffic, even though he b a
temperance man His speech was strong
aud argumentative, and was listened 10
with the closest attention throughout.
He had few words to say in defense OF
Sam Jones and his methods. lie said
Jones reached men by his way OF
preaching that other miDislers would
never reach.
The programme for to-day is as iol.
