Section 5. We appeal to every pa
triotic citizen who desires to free him
self from completely with the liquor
traffic, secure relense from the domi.
nation of the vicious elements in the
body polite, and aid In disolving the
Infamous partnership that exists be-

traffic through tax and license laws
to unite with us at the ballot box
in patriotic purpose to destroy this
iniquity.
1t was over the adoption of section
five that the first discussion was
raised.
The original reading enumerated
various questions, as examples, ant
1t was feared that this might leav
a loophole for Woman Suffragists an,
other fusionists to wreck the newl,
simplifed and rejuyenated Prohibit
tion party. The section was fnall,
amended to its present reading.
When the adoption of the preambl
was approached, it was suggeste
that the reference to tho ethics an
teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
would bar from the party many bt
levers of Prohibition, who were nc
believers i'm Christ. 1t was finally d,
clded by vote, that the article b
adopted as read.

MASS MEETING.
The Speakers and the Talks They
Gave.

Nearly every seat in the auditorium
at the Grand opera house was oc.
cupied Wednesday night, when the
mass meeting in connection with the
convention was held
Hon. q. w. Stewart Of Chicago spoke
briefly and rapidly regarding the
needs, the history and the future of
been madennd the lessonSto be learned,
and declared that fusion and success
were impossible companions for Pro
hibitiou. He described how impossible
it would he for an alliance to be made
with either of the old parties, with
chance Of carrying an election, how the
addition of planks concerning side
issues could only be a weakness and
not IN added strength, predicted Il
bright future and near reward for
the single issue Prohibition party, and
ended by introducing, as the speaker
of the evening, Hon. Clinton n. How
ard, of Rochester, y. y, presidenr of
the Prohibition union of Christian men,
of that city, who interested and pleas
ed his audience, most of whom were
in sympathy with him and Prohibition.
The address was intended as a tenn
perance lecture, and. touched wide
variety Of subject to add interest and
spice ms an entertainment.
Mr.. Howard, who has been active
in temperance work in New York and
is an organizer OF reputation, Is small
physically, and very slight. His ad
dress is, however, magnetic and tn,
audience was kept in complete com
mand from start to finish of his talk.

In the address of welcome, by Rev.
A. B. Coats of this city, Akron was
lauded to the skies; her enterprises
and great manufacturing Industries
enumerated, her various points of beau

ty official to a Democrat representa-
tive today. at was Pete who estab-
lished the fish fry business Mt the
lakes south of the city, and for %
years he has done his best to cause
the fish fry to be known far and wide
as a Summit county institution. The
Summit county blue gill, properly
cooked, is a delcacy with which no
other fish compares, and the public
has not been slow to appreciate this
fact. The fresh spring waters in which
the Summit county fish live, and the
quality of their food, have much tc
do with giving them their delicate
flavor"

''where we will find you work inside
of n hours"
Referring to the work for which
they had assembled, Mr.. Coates said,
in part: "I.css than year ago, the
government Of this city was conducted
on strictly Prohibition lines, for five
days. A negro, crazed by liquor, had
attempted an unnamable crime. 4
mob, inhamed by liquor, attempted
vengeance, and worked its own sweet
will for twenty-four hours. When the
people came from their places, it was
| found that the riot had cost two hll-
man lives, and quarter of a million
dollars,
when the Mayor recovered from his
stupor, he promptly closed the saloons
aud for six days quieter and more
orderly city than Akron never existed
showing the benefits of Prohibition.
Then, with inexcusable stupidity
the saloons We're again opened"
The address of welcome was respond
ed to by Rev. II. A. McLane, of Toledo
who commented on the difference in
the behavior of the people who wer,
gathered for this convention and th,

like gatherings Of the other parties
Rev. McI.ane Is OF impressive pres
cncc and forceful speaker.
Judge Ilewson +. Peekc, of Sandus'
| ky, who was introduced as temporary
chairman aud delivered the opening
address. was keenly analytical, witty
one moment and scathng in his de
nuuciatlon Of both the friends of the
saloon and those who really were op.
posed to it, and yet were instrumental
In helping the liquor element.
Judge Peekc briefly reviewed the ca.
reer of the Prohibition party, it's pro
grcss and its blunders, analyzed ana
denounced the policy which had in
troduccd the Woman's Suffrage plank,
and others in the platform of the Pro.
hibition party, denounced the leaders
who had seeded from the ranks Of
Prohibition, and said, "we are here to-
day to dance OH the political graves of
the enemies of Prohibition, past, prds-
cnt and future.
IF the Union Reform party had ste
ceeded in its purpose few years ago,
there would not be party in American
politics today, pledged to destroy the
saloon ,gyp
Judge Peeke emphasized the neces-
sity of doing away with factions. "lIv-
cry man who votes for Prohibition,
votes to destroy the saloon" he said.
The leaders of the party in 1896 came
in for another roasting for their
"treachery," and the Australian ballot
system was designated as another en-.
envy of Prohibition, because of the
many Prohibition votes which were
lost in the scattering vote
"a secretary of state, who was un-
able to pass the bar examination of the
State of Ohio, can disfranchise $1,000
voters in Ohio. 1t is shown by the
scattering vote that after all the years
of the Australian ballot system, about
one voter i'll sixty cannon mark his bal
lot"
The case of Keller VS.. Koerbcr was
Preferred to, in which, he said, "the gov
crnment is SO solicitous of the welfare
pay twice as much for his drinks as II
white man. / advise every colorcd
Republican to either drink ) cent beer
or leave the party"
"The candid Prohibitonist must ad-
init that we have some cranks in our
- midst," continued the Judge. The
e large bulk of our voters have yet to
learn that it takes money for politics. -
h Judge Peeke showed the unwisdom Of
i, having any but the anti-saloon plank
le in the platform of the party, and show
d ed that the parties, which grew out
d had not lasted. He advised that mem,
a bers of the Union Reform party who
ii had left the ranks, be taken back with
ct ont reproach and hoped that the lessons
lie of the past, bitter though they We're,
rs would benefit the party. He advised
IL the selection of candidates who would
IN talk and would make Il fighting cam
paign and predicted that the future
is was bright with promise for the Prohi
s, bition party.

In many OF the western and midland
counties of England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
foods within living memory. Happily
few lives were lost, but hundreds OF
folk-mostly poor-were washed cut OF
hearth and home. Farmers, small and
great, lost cattle. sheep and poultry
and immense damage was done to all
kinds of property. One comic incident
was remarked at Alcester in Worces-
tershire. When the water, fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad to see What
loss he had suffered. AS he passed
through an orchard he was greeted
with the piercing squeals of a per-
picked pig, which had got mixed up in
the boughs Of a damson tree. Probably
1t had been borne into the branches by
the rising food. When the waters
went down it was left high, and pos
sibiy dry, but terrified out of it's wits.
