To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
A very interesting communication in your
paper of the 30th inst is headed who is
Responsible" The inspiration of this ar
ticie seems to have been the murder of
Griffin, and the logic is admirable leading
to a conclusion, however that shows party
idolatry. Every temperance advocate should
read the article, and then see how
a great purpose flags under the lash of
party servitude which leads his CORE
spondent to condemn the pre- city adj
ministration and to conclud' article
with the admission that the c. of pro-
hibtion would win to-day in Indianapolis
if we had leaders of sufficient courage TO
demand it." No such leadership, however,
is claimed for the party to which your
correspondent belongs. 1t may be because
of your failure to report the Prohibition
city convention that u. l.. See" does not
know of the actual existence OF the kind
OF leadership he desires and of a platform
with a sufficient courage to demand pro-
