The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1890-07-11

delivered n OF the best addresses Of
the meeting.
Mrs. Buel then said a few words. She
is n OF the best takers among the
ladies who are present, having a clear,
ringing voice and good delivery. At
l0:45 the
PROHIBITION EXPERIENCE MEETING
was held and Il large number told SLOW
l came to he d prohibitionist." This
session was conducted by Rev. T. G.
johnson, Of ParEe,sbrrg, who f~rstspoke
entertainingly o! his own @: 1erience. He
was followed by most ofthe ladies named
above and by Messrs. Cartwright, OF
Wheeling, Doyle, Rev. Mr.. Stewart and
B. L. Grow. After several had spoken,
Mrs. Yonger said, like u speaker who
had preceded hey, she had fought, bled
and died for the Republican party, but
she had become discouraged at the time
OF the Chicago convention in 1855. That
convention was packed by liquor men.
She spoke at length on the point that
prohibition can only be hoped for
through the Prohibition (third) party.
That men who vote with the old parties
and pray for prohibition, vote for
whisky and pray for temperance, and so
it will be go long as they vote with the
old parties, and they can't get out of it.
Her remarks were well received and ap.
plauded. It was past meridian when
the benediction was pronounced and
the hundreds who had been Toasted in
tellectually went forth 10 hunt satisfac.
ton for the inner man.
A,good crowd again assembled at two
O'clock. After music and PRAYER Mrs.
Buel spoke for the Union Signal, making,
in her entertaining manner, even that
dry subject interesting. Mrs. Mary T.
Lathrop was then introduced. In her
speech Wednesday she won a high place
in the esteem Of her hearers. and a larger
audience greeted her yesterday. Her
subject vas the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, and right ably did
she handle her subject, showing that she
knew whereof she spoke. She gave a
historysof the origin and foundation of
the Union and also a glimpse Of its work
not a political organization, but polit-
ical thinkers. If they were less, they
would be idiots. The organization that
is mere partisan confesses itself q nonen-
tity. At the start the Union found it
impossible to try to save the drunkard,
apd not sec the man who sold him the
liquor. But that man pointed to his
license by the Government. T%histurned
their attention to the Government and
political parties. 1t tried to get the
Chicago Republican convention to do
something but failed. 1t could not
always stand outside, 80 it must look out
for other aid. So.
The speaker then paid her respects to
TIE NoN.pARTIsAN W. c. T. U.
She said all the leading non.partisan
workers, and she knew most OF them,
are closely allied to some Republican
politician, and when they met to form
their national organization they receiv-
ed kilograms from leading Republican
politicians. Talk about a split in the
". C. 7. u. 1t isn't a splinter. Speak.
ing Of the assertion that women are bet
ter qualified to be political leaders than
men, she said that one reason is that
women are more religious, more atten-
tive to church duties. That you will
find from four to ten women in church
to one nan on Sabbath evening, es-
pecially il it happens to be bad weather,
so that the brethren can't get out. On
the question Of religion in politics, she
aatd: II believe in God in government
and in Jesus Christ in politics.

A prominent gentleman said to the

son SO. The other day when he an.
nounced ,p conference Of third party
leaders, he used the word prohibition
and invited all prohibitionists to
went, but I am no third party
prohibitiopist by q good deal. It is un-
lair and misleading to speak OF all PRO-.

Of the Prohibitioniats are outside Of that
