iiLADELPHiA, October 11.—Gentlemen :
In t
i New
dra^ronMh^anYas^^^rcsldtntia^oml
inee, together with an ela»»orate statement of
the reasons why, In your judgment, 1 should
take this course. Permit me to reply that I
have given the riatement and request
the carvfm and candid consideration,as,com
ing from men of your high charactci j—° -
merit and that I can neither agre» w* HV
one or com; ly with the other. In luttico
to myself and courtesy to you, I must refer
spociilcally to som* of the leading ressous
which you argue. Bear with me while Ido
this in i
feat possible way:
1. You doirta the cues Ion of prohibition
■Uteri to the people separate from other Is-
hundreds of thousands of other .
and our very modest wish was thero denied.
B. liovlng prohibition a national Issue to blow
out a national curse, wo could not ask aud
the Ucpoblican rarty could not with fairness
grant any loss. Refusing that, the party can*
not have the Slightest possible claim upon
my vote.
& The policy of nutlo"al prohibition 1ms
already been clearly defin'd and approved
by the “great body of the friends of t'n
cause la the United t'tates”—more clearly do
fined and more generally approved by these
than w s the oaticual po Icy con ernlug slav
ery, when that had commonrecogultl u as u
nwonal • issue and arrayed the parties !u
open contest. This national issue may be
s mined up In toe phra-o national Rover-
e gat. over.the liquor traffic—to suppress it
Instead of to legalise, prfttcet aud perpetu-
3 Out of Hie widespread approval
which this policy had attained, and beoausn
of It, came the HtUbur.r c< uvention, with its
more than COO delegates, representing thirty
one Bta ts. and, as t believe, more repr.-s. ntli
tivo of the great body of Prohibitionists
brought before the country than any other
bod> assembled It was a conve tion regular 1 v
called. An unusual interim was given for
temperance people to consider it and pian for
it. Its delegates, as I have said, were citizens
representative character, many of whom
hud recently been active workers in
thizers with one or the other of the
ties. 1 hey went there upon a plain call to
nominate n presidential ticket, and for no
other purpose, and your fuwertlon that a large
part of that convention opposed plac
ing a ticket iu the field has never beforo hoi u
made to my' knowledge, is not jus
tified by the reports of the pro
ceedings print, d In the leading journal
at the time, and is emphatically cro. tradlctcd
by reliable witnesses, delegates and specta
tors, who sot nthecon onllousndare familiar
with all that was th re done aud said. Oa
yvoY third point, therefore, you surely have
wen misinior eo as to facts.
4.1 see nothing more confusing In the Prohi
bition mo ement haul any other, unless yon
mean that It is confusing fhc politicians. Had
prohibition alone been refer cd to lu the
platfo m, you might hay* objected to lt*s“a
one l i» a’’ party. WouufnUuflrago it relegates
to the State?, and conAAuing the policy of
both th- old putties w it* cgtird to The Chl-
nek.\ it Iwt speak* in the old Kopublinnn spir
it, tie' ltepublU-an doctrine,which that
par >. in i- Agreed to catch the vote of the Pa
cific States, now repu* iates. As to imputa
tions upon the Republican candidates, 1 find
only such as appeal to facts, and that appeal

make as well. They should serve
Prohibition plntfonn wero as carefully <
slUcrcu aud or autUoritafively adopted as i
that have thus far beeq presented to the Aw
ican people, sud I am satisfied that they em
body m a high degree and fur more compre
hensively tho w ell-being and prosperity of
our country than do those which have recog
nition iu both the Democratic and Republican
platforms.
c “it Is true,” you say, “that tho Republican
party declined to make prohibition an issue
In its platform.” The party was not asked to
make prohibition an issue of principle. It was
not requested to declare. It was merely a** *
to favor submitting the question to tno y.__
pie. if for it to have done this
would, as you assert, * “havo been
ywycal suicide,” then I seo no hope
l‘'possibility of tho Republican party over
granting ev n in slight u concession to the
t«-in pc ranee people, and I am amaxed that you
should nrgo my longer fealty to that party.
7 and 8. If that party which you call ' the
party of fair play” aud of “majority rule” can
not now nationally declare in favor of both
without political suicide, what hope have \y
that in any State it will long favor either, o.
that us a national body It will ever support the
national policy for which I stand and In behalf
ot which the national Prohibition party is de
clared. Uncompromising hostility to that po
litical par y cannot surely delay its progress us
can covert en ity cncloakcd in friendly dis
guise.
l', 10 and 11. You aro not Republicans, I may
presume, simply because you expect to oleet
your ticket we cannot forego being Prohibi
tionists because we have no sure promise of ut
once ••lcctlng ours, and while it may be unrea
sonable, si ou Insist, tochsngc from bad to
worse, simply for change, it is always host to
fav.-r tho right and to stand by principles, re
gardless of what change m .y be brought about
as tho result. I havo loved my country well
enough to carry a musket in its defense, and
to ri>k my life In Its service. I hold its obliga
tions to every brave defender, and to those
now representing such, as *
sacred. Tno national credit and
resources of tho nation 1 would uot .... ____
pointed, and all that wa? gained for God and
humanity by years of war I would see pi
irved through years of peace, but 17o,t .

than upon tho perpetuity
/ party In power, and
pairiot and humblo defender of my
untry in its former need, I cannot
* arty attachments hold mo silent
deadly cnomy than rebellion bids us
Ut and *ork hl« will.

—r that ignores its principles and evades

excusing Mr. Blslno for bis equally gross
neglect of outy In dodging a rote on the pro-
hibltlon amendment in his own State, for
the slightest analysis of tho situation would
show yon that It was only to the submission
of such an amendment that his party s na
tional convention had laid any au-
thorliy upon him, while! the long time pol
icy of the party iu his State, submission be
ing granted, should have commanded him
to vote on the principle. If prohibition were
not, as Mr. Blaine says, a national issue,
he surely was not Justified, bccauso of any ac

from which your request purports to emauaU*,

go outside tho State for co-operation.
In coucluslon, gentlemen, peimtt me to say
that so long as the government Is an open
partner In the liquor business to the extent of
‘JO cents for every gallou of whisky made and
sold—so long as men may and do illicitly sell
liquor In violatlouof State lawundertheunUed
States tax receipt, which makes the government
partlceps crimfnls In such elllct sales, so loDg
ss in the District of Columbia and in the Ter
ritories Congress may and does permit that
which It should forbid. Just so long this Issue
of the liquar traffic will remain a national Is
sue, and just so long the Prohibition party will
be a national necessity. In vlewol the fact
that said party presents tho only Presidential
nommeo standing on atcmpeiance plauorm,
would it not be more consistent for steadfast
tempetance men at once to demand the Imme
diate withdrawal of your own candidate, and
thus avoid all possible calamities to which
you refer, including as you term it, “a thing of

tinue the warfare on the liquor traffic as long
as I live and the flag of our coun nr waves its
protecting folds over a legalized dram ►hop.
1 therefore appeal to all love s of God aud
country and homo to burst asunder the party
shackles that havo bouud them, aud, ris-
tug abo vc mere partisan considerations, cast

in intimidating honest voters, while the
Republican press construe the.conduct of
the police force nnd deputy sheriffs in a
similar manner, comparing it to Missis*

Cleveland. October 15.—The Prohibi
tionists cast 39S votes for E. J. Morris for
secretary of state, 378 f r Rost trough for
Supreme Court, judge, 397 for Kinderdell
for member of the board of public works.
The average Prohibition vote was less than
400.
Columbus, October 15.—The interest in
the election has not yet abated. The
streets were crowded all night and are
still in that condition. Business men a-e
discussing tho. result in the most animated
manner. Nothing has been received to
change the ct-tiuiates made last night.
Complete returns have been received
from twenty counties. The report-
were never- so prompt before. This
indicates that there wero hi
scratched tickets. A great deal of mystery
surrounds the Prohibition vote, and upon
Uti-jnml the withholding of the rep >rts from
a few counties the Democrats base a hope
of (rutting down the Republican majority
below 15,000. The contest for Congress
man in the Third district is very close, but
as Morev, the Republican candidate, runs
ahead of his ticket 132 votes in Clermont
county, which makes a change of over 600
votes in favor of the Republicans, hi*
friends clAim his election. The indications
are that Johnson, the Republican candi
date for Supreme Court judge, has n ma
jority of 3,000 in Hamilton county, and
that he has run ahead of the other candi
dates, notwithstanding the opposition of
the li nuor interest. If this is confirmed, it
will show that temperance Democrats
i-cratched their own candidate nnd voted
for Johnson.
Cincinnati October 15.—Total unofficial

follows: The Democrats elect Campbell in
