Moulton said that heretofore some of those present had belonged to the repubitean, demo- cratic and other parties, but some belonged to the Prouibition or third party, and it was to talk of this party this meeting Was held. Di. FUNK'S ADDRESS. Dr. Funk, the editor of the New York Voire, was Introduced and said he was quite a young prohibi. Gonist. At the Orst meeting he had attended (in 1884) there were only eleven persons, but two of Whom Were men. The party had now got big enough to speak, and was not here for run, efther. He had teen told that the party never could suc- eted because it was of but one idea. He remem. ered the rrepressible-conflict speech of W. IL. Seward and what foilowed. The prohibition party ‘Was to do as Victor Hugo said Waterloo did— change the universe.

If they were a party of one idea It was more than the Other parties had all together. Both of the present parties want the saloon vote themselves, and while Saloon men are in the parties nether will enforce probibttion. At the close of Dr. Funk's address Mr. Haverell sang “We are Not So Louesome As We Used To Be. PROF. DICKIE'S SPRECH. Prof. Dickie was then introduced. The question presented to them Was, he sald, “Should the prin- ciple of prohibition be backed by a party?” It was a large question, but the tariff and other purely political questions melt into insign'ficance beside an dram. He referred to the or- jor men.
