who declares that he will not be longer

which is daily enacted under his very

expect severe criticism and re-

REV. HIR w. FORD
Of Georgetown, Prohibition
Candidate for Congress from
the Ashland Distsict.

REV. Hiram w. Ford is the
Prohibition candidate for Con-
gress from this district, the great
est whisky producing region on
earth.
Col. Breckenridge, his Demo-
cratic opponent, has lately, as Il
pure gratuity, and when there
was no apparent reason for it in
the world, declared himself the
friend, ally and champion of
whisky, by voting in minority
of IL to 81 for the enforcement
Of the Original Package Bill, the
purpose OF which was to force
the liquor traffic back upon the
States from which Prohibition,
in answer to the prayers of wo-
men and the tears of children
had driven this. the most ac-
cursed of all tratiics, the African
slave trade not excepted, that
ever disgraced Christianity and
civilization.
In opposition to this distin-
guished and brilliant, but mis-
guided man, the Prohibition
party offers Rev. Ford, and asks
of the public the minutest in
quiry, not only into his public
record as q loved minister and Il
successful farmer, but ask an in
quiry into the most private de-
tails of his domestic life, and his
private reputation among the
large body of people who know
him.
If anybody can find anything
in him unworthy a Christian
philosopher, preacher, farmer,
politician, business man, neigh
Dor or citizen, all he has to do is
to get his proof and send it to
TmE BLADE, and | will promise
to blast him to the extent OF my
ability; for the Prohibition party
can not afford to have for it,
standard-bearer any man who Is
not as good as the best of men.
The Prohibition party be-
lieves that the private morals
and business success and intcgrl'
ty of its candidates, is fully II,
important rs their intellect
learning or genius. This party
puts its candidates upon thell
record, and it makes their recor,
begin the hour they were born, i
not generation or two betor,
they were bora, and that record
is never ended until the mel
are dead.
The election of Hiram For,
over Col. Breckinridge would b'
worth millions Of dollars to I'll,

aud billions OF dollars in moral
and the highest human happi
ness. 1t would he saying to tn
