It will make Good Tetnpinr llrunsoq aud some of his followers think a little. For some tiuie there has been* tuik that the prohibitionists and out-and-out noti-dispensary people were going to combine aud prevent tho dispensaries from being established, by withholding the signatures of the majority of the freeholders. Mere is the statement Governor Tillman made to the press yesterday : "It is my opinion, ami it maybe taken for what it is worth, ihut any prohibitionist who refuses to co-operate with uie in the estnblishing of dispensaries by not signing the petitions ?f itie dispeusets and assisting tho government in eve?y pos?ihle way to enforce, rather than to pravent it going into effect, they will regret it. "The threatened alliauce between the whiskey men end other political opponeuts, who are in fuvor of it. mnv brim* about mirli n (ate of dissatisfaction as wilt seriously cripple in* in injr efforts to help the cuuso of temperance. "If the prohibitionists arc bumbo /.led by the opposition luto leuding their aid te this end, they will be likely to find themselves in the Condi-ion of the dog in the fable, who, seing his ehudew rellecicd in the water, napped at it and lost what he had. "l'here will be absolute prohibition in every county where the Bale of liipior is prohibited by law. Not even druggists being allowed to sell it for medicine, nor can it be shipped into those countries by express or otherwise under the new law, and. therefore, the experiment *s to whether the people will eland absolute prohibition will be mad* in at least six counties, and I sha'l tske particular pains to see thai the law is as trictly enforced ia these counties as it is anywhere ilse, let it coal what it may.
