NEMO's COMPLIMENTS 10 OMEN.

Inc dispute between OlneH anu
myself regarding the Ohio vote in
1888 is this. In the first place |
claimed there were only 2S,OOO pro-
hibitionists in Ohio, when Omen
proved by test vote for prohibit
ton Governor (the only true test),
that there were only 1862 prohibi-
tionists in Ohio. What should | do
but drop it? For did not Omen come
to my aid and help me out amazingly,
by saying that there were only 1852
prohibitionists in Ohio? Certainly
he did, and now no doubt repents of
having done so. My authority that
the liquor dealers and prohibitionists
worked together for forty years in
support of the Adair law which gave
to the liquor dealers free license for
those years to sell liquors, is Murat
Halstead; an authority that no
amount of prohibition sophistry from
Omen can wipe out. Omen says:
1.-The N. Y. Voice is the leading pro-
hibition paper in the U. S." Yes,
Omen, and you also should have add
ed, and the most INSCRIPTIONS. The
Voice is sheet that is prohibition
to-day, tomorrow dickers with lead
ing liquor dealers In New York for
political purposes, and the next day
sends barrel of money to Nebraska
to bride honest voters against their
convictions to vote for that curse
prohibition. What was the result?
Nebraska rolled up forty thousand
majority against the cranks, and sent
the Voice back to its lair, disgusted
with itself and human nature. l
said in one of my articles that pro-
hibiton was the worst curse that was
ever Matched in America; and by
degrees, | will prove it so, TO the
satisfaction of every reader of the
BULLETIN (Omen incIuded). Omen
says that the "Farm Herald is issued
by the Liquor Dealers National Pro-
tective Association. This Association
has recently been writing to the post
masters of New York State for names
of all voters, offering premium for
the information. The object being
to send these voters the bogus Farm
Herald. The information is asked
for under the guise of the National
Publishing Association, 142 West
Main street, Louisville, Ky. Over
the door at l42 West Main street,
Louisville, KY the headquarters of
the association fraud hang the fol-
lowing signs in large gold letters:
'The J. M. Atherton Co., Wholesale
Liquor Dealers ) Brown Forman &
Co., Wholesale Liquor Dealers
The office of the Farm Herald
and other bogus papers is in one
corner of Mr.. Atherton's whisky
store very near the whisky barrels.
This Farm Herald, whose very
name is fraud and deception,
Memo quotes to bolster up bad
cause" As far as the Farm Herald
is concerned, the above is false;
and goes to show that Omen is get.
ting off his base worse than ever.
The Farm Herald is, as its name
implies, purely farm paper in
every sense of the word. And is
headed "The Farm Herald, publish
ed monthly by the Farm Herald
Company, 1875 West Main ST., Louis
vile, KY" The corner of Mr.. Ath
erton's whisky store that Omen seems
so familiar with, might have been his
old snoozing corner when so filled up
with tangle- foot whisky, that he
wouldn't know an office from a saw
mill. Again Omen says: "The N.
7. Voice, in this as in other cases,
hunted these things into their holes"
Read the following, Omen, and see
how nicely the biters were bitten.
1t is quoted from the South West:
eve referred, two weeks ago,
to the controversy between ex-Sena-
tor Ingalls, and the prohibition peo-
pie, which has since then developed
so beautifully that we must return
to it once more. 1t will be remem
bered that Ingalls, delivered a speech
at Prohibition Park, in which he
said, in substance, what everybody
knew already, namely: that prohibit
ton in Kansas had proved very
sorry failure. The N. Y. Voice took
exceptions to this, and comparing
this speech with an article on the
same subject in the Forum couple
of years ago, thought these two
statements of the case irreconcilable,
and forthwith sent circular to Kan
sas officials, asking whether they
really conrived at lawbreaking in the
degree and manner described by In
gals. This became known to In
gals and he wrote letter to the
Voice which is printed in its current
number.
"In it Mr.. Ingalls, says that his
Prohibition Park. speech had been
AN extemporaneous address, and
that the Voices quotation from it
was incorrect, imperfect and mutt
lated. The latter point the Voice
meets by stating that there is ample
proof that its report is correct, and
by asking Mr.. ingalls, to please par
ticularize. The reply to the first we
must give in the Voices own words.
1t is too good to be condensed. 1t
seems ingalls, cheated the pious peo-
pie of the Prohibition Park enter
