CLEVELAND, June 21.-The Ohio pro-
hibition convention was called to order
in Music hall at 2:3O o'clock this after
noon by Mr. l.. B. Logan, chairman of
the State Central committee. The chair
man read the call for the state conven-
tion and said that the district delega-
tions had met and made their selections
He announced the name of L. j. Burke,
Of Oberlin, as temporary secretary, and
introduced Rev. G. p. Macklin, of Ger
mantown, who led in prayer. After q
short preliminary speech, Chairman

Stewart, of Norwalls, temporary chair
man, as one of the war horses OF the
prohibition party. He was greeted with
an ovation. Mr.. Stewart addressed the

that they had come together as citizens
nationality, race, religion, property,
social position or avocation, on the
bro,.d platform of civil rights and po-
litical equality, demanding equal pro-
tection for all the people against the
crimes and public evils which afllict
the state and nation.
1--WE come" he said, with that grand old
Roman word upon our lips prohibition! That
word which was first voiced by the Roman re-
public in the purity of its better life, and
which has come down to us through more than
1000 years, as the world best synonym OF civil
liberty. This is the twenty.nfth political year
in the history OF tho prohibition pl. ty. over
twenty-four years ago it was first formed In
this city Of Cleveland, and, in few months
otter, It's organization was completed by state
and national convention. This grand conven-
ton. which SO we'll represents the patriotism,
virtue and intelligence OF the people in al parts
OF this great state Of Ohio, Is to nominate our
twenty-fifth state ticket We do not follow the
recent example OF defeated and pertaining
party, in summoning national inquest TO And
out whether we nre yet alive, and II 80, wha,
are we living for.
The venerable chairman asserted TINT on next
Saturday the state OF South Carolina will com
init another amazing and revolving act before
the world With her own hand she will begin
the murder of her own sons, that she may coin
their hearts blood into liquid gold with which
to fll her state and local treasures Wha'
South Carolina W II begin to do thus openly
with her own hand, Ohio and this nation havt
been doing through more than thirty years
covertly, cowardly, by their ofncial agents, BY
their lesalized assassins and chartered murder
ers. This day in more than ,0o) dramshops
acting under, by and for this government, mil
lions Of sons of the republic. myriads OF tht
youth the hope and the flower of the nation
ere chained for destruction, and there, NOR
than 100000 year more than 100000 In th'
last thirty years, have been most cruelty mur
iered, that their hearts blood might thenc'
ripple in streams of liquid gold to Ill
the national, state and local treasures. Ever.
day this blood tide increases in volume and thi
civil temperance reform problem swells Il
magnitude 1t can only be solved through tn
union and cooperation with the labor reform
prohibitionists. The organized power OF tn
LIQUOR men, of malign monopolies, of deprave,
Ignorance, of corrupt suffrage and corrupt gov
ernment are all leagued together against tn
advance Of the FIVE prohibition relative reforms
"Citizen reformers of Ohio" concluded tn
speaker, tive are ut the foot of the mountain
The five allied foes are fortified at the summit
Let US now join all hearts and hands in tn
mighty upward conflict. Another importan
election is approaching Another year OF battle
Is upon Is. Again the drums beat, the bugle
play, the standards rise, the banners wave wit
their symbolic calls to new conflicts and viz
tories. Forward, reformers, oil as one. Charge
Ohio charge!"
Chairman Stewart then assumed tn
gavel and called upon Secretary Burke
