hibitiOnistw Such was the declara-
ration of an active member in a
christian church last Saturday, as
he picked up q ticket for John G.
Houk and deposited it in the ballot
box.
l was panied exceedingly and sur
prised to hear it coming from such
a source. AT the same time l was
forced to admire his honest candor
in making the confession. There
are thousands of voters who act as
if standing on the same principle,
but there are few who express it.
Third party Prohibiticnists believe
in suppressing the the liquor traffic
by law. They believe that in order
to do this, it is necessary to elect
men to Office who will use their
powers to this end, that the coun-
try may be relieved of what they
conceive to be the greatest curse of
the present day to our country, both
morally and politically. They be-
lieve that this can never b. accom-
plished by placing men in authori-
ty who drink liquor, and who Sc
cure their nominations by entering
into compacts with liquor dealers
in order to secure their election.
They believe that il can never be
done by voting for men, who owe
their nomination to the free use of
liquor In the hands of the friends OF
the candidates at convention and
primaries. They believe that they
are accountable to God for the man.

The Rev. J. T. Sexton has just
closed a revival meeting here, in
which there was twenty-three con-
versions, and general quickening
of the church. The Rev. Sexton
has scarcely an equal as christian

their churches and homes and
may the Lord bless him in his
