 A pr. Jekyi and Nfr. Hyde.
 'T would remind the gentleman from Jefferson. {" said MT. Long. that I have urged the bills in the House referred to because they were in the Democratic platform. It i'll becomes the bewhiskered pr. Jekyl and Mir. Hyde to speak of me in such way. when he knows that local option was In the platform and when he knows that he votes one day one way and an- other ,lav another"
 There was a revolt here when even the temperance element began to chafe under the seemingly intending pro- hibition legislation.
 MT. King. of Jefferson. said he had enough.
