Rev. VIBBERT, the prohibition apos-

Saturday evening, and althougha por-
ton of his address savored of the fan
a tic in the main, he fired hot shots of a
logical cast. For instance he told some
homely truths about the republican
party, that are incontrovertible. He
said that the republican party thought
it had a first mortgage on the Prohibi-
tion party, by always asserting that
tits temperance party; that 1t made
that assertion three hundred andsixty-
four days In the year and on the three
hundred and sixty.fifth day casts its

with many other home.spun truths
