Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1891-12-19

About that National Commit
tee plate" | have this to say.
During my temporary suspension
the National Committee suspended
the issuance of that very valuable
matter, much TO my regret, and
has not resumed l published its
matter therefore, past due, as the
best l could do. [ hope the Pro
hibition press will get the Nation
al Committee to issue that plate
again.
As to Prohibition nominations
for the coming city election in
Lexington | am in favor of it.
Rev. Prof. McGarvey has bull
dozed the Democratic toughs of
the town by that Blue Grass
Blade sermon that he made to
men only, in the Broadway
Christian church, more than has
ever been done before in the his
tory of the city The policy of
some o. our best Prohibitionists
is to keep "hands Off and let this
Democratic dog fight go on until
they arnihilate each other after
the style of the Kilkenny cats.
--HRta- McGarvey will take the
stump" as he says he will do, if
they nominate the right kind of
men, and Rev's. Matthew and
Felix, and Lawyer Beauchamp
will back him we can make it i'm
possible that Lexington will have
as its Mayor a saloon-keeper who
was not long since indicted for
selling whisky to minors, who has
been a principal manager in race
course that has lately had to make
an assignment, who had a pool
room in his hotel which | think
was one of the two that the Cir
cult Court has lately suppressed,
for whose conduct his friend Mr..
E. d. Sayre, apologized to me
about a year ago by saying that
he was drunk; who the editor of
the Lexington Transcript says
paid him $4,000 to help him to
get the nomination, with very
strong circumstantial evidence
that he bought up the Lexington
Leader the same way.
| am property owner IN Lex
ington, and there is hardly any
man in the town that [ would not
rather see Mayor OF Lexington
than Hull Davidson, except, as
| have said before, think it may
be best for these degenerate prod
igal sons of noble sires 10 eat
husks with the still slop swine a
little longer until they get their
bellies full Of it.
l think we ought to have our
candidates, and have rs candi-
date for Mayor some model man;
and though | am a hereto | would
rather have him good orthodox
Christian; and one of two things
we will do; we will either beat the
saloon candidate tor. Mayor, or
We will show to the world that il
large majority Of these fellows
who march to church with Il
Bible under one arm and Il hymn
book under the other are Il lot OF
damned hypocrites who will vote
for Il Democrat who runs race
horses and bar-room and pool
room, before they will vote for a
Christian gentleman who would
scorn 10 do any OF these.
| want the Prohibitionists OF
Lexington to consider the sugges-
ton Of Bro. Thomas. Prohibition
is bound to come 10 Lexington
before long, and it's simply
question for you to determine
whether the election of HUI
Davidson will bring it sooner than
the election of some proper klnC
of a man.
We don't want to be in an,
hurry about it. We ought II
have a meeting OF men opposed It
the present management OF things
and if they think it's best to giv'
the people a little more of thu
chair OF the dog it's all right
and | will simply announce t.
the Prohibition party OF the coun
try what our policy is.
