Prohibition Rally.
About 350 people assembled
at the Court House Monday night
to hear Dr. E. L. Tiffany, the
celebrated temperance evangelist
ot New York speak on the billed
subject, "Good Citizenship."
Dr. Reevesof the M E. Church,
South presided. There was some
very clever singing by the Philo
math Ladies' Quartette and the
lecture was very creditable. , .
The majority of 'those present
were there out of sympathy tor
local option movement, now be
ing inaugurated and in -the-interest
of which it was supposed
the meeting was called.. It turned
out to be a Prohibition mass
meeting. - -v
.Although originated and fos
tered by the - Prohibition party,
the local option proposition was
made the object ot many scurril
ous remarks by the different
speakers. Why this was so it is
difficult to tell. "
It is the evident intention of
the party to discard local option
altogether and taking advantage
of popular sentiment to push the
temperance issue along strictly
party line.
Popular sentiment being very
strong just now in favor ot ' tem
perance measures, may help the
Prohibition party some, but in
view of the stronger sentiment
against that party being able to
accomplish the desired end, it is
very much doubted if it is pur
suing the wisest course. The
canvass for campaign funds at
the close of the meeting was evi
dence enough that the people
want nothing whatever to do
with the Prohibition party as an
organization or as a power be
hind local option to make it
effective.
Every method known to the
ministerial' protession was re
started to, to extract monev from
the large-audience, but less than
$5 was secured.
There is a large and well-de
fined class of citizens in favor of
temperance measures from a pure
ly non-partisan point of view,
yet wnen made a political issue
will discard it.
