guilty of such conduct. The
churches turned men out for acting
as county dispensers and
church members could not consistently
vote tor a law that they
would not let their members enj

Col. Schrumpert declared that

Col. Writst*n referred to his
I services in t he constitutional con

made 21 record. He hud delinito
plans tor the increase of the revenue
of the common schools,
which, if elected governor, he
would 6iil)tnit to the legislature,
lie wanted the college to live as
long as time lasts.
ARf'IIKK <>N PHOIIIHITION.
Mr. Archer made a passionate
speech directed chiefly against
' prohibit ion. !t was such men as
[the prohibit inn candidate and the
old whiskey sellers who made it
iso hard for tin* dispensary law.
Keat herstone hoasted of the
j church having expelled members
because they sold whiskey. Sweh
conduct on the part ot the
I churches, if a !o*lt were not call
Jrd, would carry us hack to the
' days of per-a-cut ion for heresy md
witchcraft. The men that bought
I the liquor doubtless participated
iu expelling from nieinherdiip the
man that sold il t<> liim
there no church member* that

' can't enforce their prohibitory
