in Music hall at 2:30 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 Il. j. Burke,
of Oberlin, as temporary secretary. and
introduced Rev. G. p. Macklin, ofGer
mantown, who led in prayer. After
short preliminary speech, Chairman
Logan introduced Hon. Gideon L.
Stewart, of Norwalk, temporary chair
man, as one of the war horses of the
prohibition party. He was greeted with
an ovation. Mr.. Stewart addressed the
delegates as fellow reformers, and said
that they had come together as citizens
of Ohio, without distinction of sex,
| nationality, race, religion, property,
social position or avocation, on the
broad platform of civil rights and po-
litical equality, demanding equal pro-
lection for all the people against the
crimes and public evils which afiict
the state and nation.
"we come" he said, with that grand old
Roman word upon our lips, prohihitionl 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, the world best synonym OF civil
| liberty. This is the twenty-ffth political year
| in the history Of the prohibition party. Over
| twenty-four years ago 1t waSfirst formed in
| this city Of Cleveland, and, in few months
| after, its organization was completed by state
and national convention. This grand conyen-
| ton, which so well represents the patriotism,
virtue and intelligence Of the people in oil parts
| of this great state of Ohio is to nominate our
| twenty-hfth state ticket We do not follow the
recent example of defeated and perishing
| party, in summoning national inquest to fnd
| out whether we are yet alive, and If so, what
are we living for.
The venerable chairman asserted that 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 fill her state and local treasures. What
| South Carolina will begin to do thus openly
| with her own hand. Ohio and this nation have
| been doing through more than thirty years,
| covertly, cowardly, by their Official agents, by
| their legalized assassins. and chartered murder
| ers. This day in more than 201000 dramshops
acting under, by and for this government, mil
| lions of sons OF the republic, myriads of the
| youth, the hope and the flower Of the nation,
| are chained for destruction, and there, more
| than 100000 year, more than 100000 in the
| last thirty years, have been most cruelty mur-
| dered, that their hearts blood might thence
| ripple in streams of liquid gold to fill
| the national state and local treasures. Every
| day this blood tide increases in volume and this
| civil temperance reform problem swells in
magnitude 1t can only be solved through the
| union and cooperation with the labor reform
| prohibitionists. The organized power Of the
| liquor men, of malign monopolies, Of depraved
| ignorance, of corrupt suffrage and corrupt gov
| ernment are all leagued together against the
| advance OF the five prohibition relative reforms.
"Citizen reformers of Ohio" concluded the
speaker, 1--WE are at the foot OF the mountain.
| The five allied foes are fortified at the summit
Let us now Join all hearts and hands In the
mighty upward conflict. Another important
election is approaching Another year Of battles
is upon U.s. Again the drums beat, the bugles
| play, the standards rise, the banners wave with
their symbolic calls to new conflicts and vic
tories. Forward, reformers, all as one. Charge,
Ohio, charged" ''s''f
