there has been dissatisfaction among the

troit, has for eight years been chairman,
and the state convention which met here
yesterday to nominate candidates Tor jus.

ject the selection of new committee
This was evident at an early stage and
Chairman Russell, observing the situa.
ton, gracefully retired.
Michael j. Tanning, of Jackson, was
elected his successor, and the appointment
of o new committee followed. 1t was
claimed that Russell had been 'one
idea" mana prohibitionist--and that
had he pushed to the front other principles
of the platform, including free silver, the
necessity for Populist organization
would not have existed, and that the Pro-
hibition vote would have been augmented
instead of diminished
There had also been overtures from Pop
ulists for fusion, but the radical element
prevailed and the Prohibitionists will
sail under their own flag, but will advo.
cate other reforms beside prohibition and
make vigorous campaign.

DETROIT, Feb. 26.-Only q partial at
tempt was made by the various young
Christian societies to put into force the
Civic Federation plan for Sunday pa
troll to see that all saloons were strictly
observing the Sunday closing law. Not
more than score Of young men were at
work and these visited only scattered sec.
tions during the afternoon. But they
found no evidence that the law was be.
ing violated for the saloons of the city

door-than ever before in their history
Scores of men who found their thirst for
liquor irresistible took the ferryboats to
Windsor, Can, just across the river, and
there quenched their appetitcs.
The Civic Federation crusade against sa-
looms, which has been signally successful,
was started by the Rev. ID. ID. McLaurin,
pastor of the leading Baptist church of
the city. He has secured the cooperation
of police, prosecuting officers and Judges,
and saloonists are i'll such great fear of
fine and Imprisonment, with which they
arc visited in cases Of non-payment OF
liquoy taxes or violation of the closing
laws, that they have shut their doors tight
on the hour. In fact SO strong is the
movement that leading saloonists have
volunteered their services to the fedora
ton in securing the enforcement of the
law and the federation has signified its
Intention of accepting the offer.
