NATIONAL CANDIDATES.
Xhe Prohibition Candidate * for President
and Vice Pretldent Officially Notified.
GOT. St. John , of Kansas , and Mr. William
Daniel were officially notified at Cuba , Now
York , on the 25th , of their nomination by the
prohibition party for president and vlco
president. The proceedings were hold nt the
camp meeting circuit grounds , a grove two
miles from Cuba , a temperance camp meeting
lasting flvo days being in progress. Prof.
Dickey * , chairman of the notification commit
tee , was introduced to the audience and the
candidates , whom ho addressed as follows :
"Gentlemen : I am to speak for the com
mittee representing hero to-day the national
committee of the prohibition party , recently
In session at PittsbnrK. In harmony with
political usages and in keeping with the dig
nity and importance of the high position in
which wo shall endeavor to place you , wo are
hero for the purpose of notifying you in this
official and formal manner of your selection
as candidates of the national prohibition
party for the positions respectively of presi
dent and vice preldcnt of the United States.
The convention which thus honored i'sclf by
BO wise a selection was no ordinary g t it-ring.
There were men there bowed under thu weight
of many years who , n generation aso , mot in
the same hull to organ zo for victory what
seemed to some a hopeless cause , the battle
against that other slavery. Young men were
there with the ardor of youth and devotion of
heroes ; women were there Knincis Willard ,
and Mary Woodbridgc. and Mrs. Burt , and
Mary Lathrop , and Esther Hugh , representa
tives of the best brain and heart of American
womanhood. It was a convention of earnest
men and pure women , who were there to ex
press the conviction that the government
ought to be a government of the people and
by the people , and not a government of the
saloon and by the saloon. It was a conven-
t'on representing a powerful constituency
from all points of our land ; a constituency
composed of citizens grown tired of the spec
tacle of two old political parties reviling each
other in their eagerness to serve the liquor
traffic going down upon their faces In the
dust before the moloch of men and crying out
in the language of the Scripture , 'Am 1 not
thine ass , upon which thou hast ridden ? " I
need not assure you the prohibit on party will
give you the most ardent support. If wo do
not succeed in electing you to tLe high posi
tion for which you have been named , we shall
enjoy the proud satisfaction of knowing that
our candidates wrre the only candidates and
our party the only party that ought to suc
ceed , ana now , gentlemen. In the name of the
noblest womanhood and the purest manhood
of America , I invoke the blessings of Almighty
God to rest upon you. and may that divine
power which rules and overrules in the affairs
of the nation and of men vouchsafe unto you
such measure of strength aud courage and
wisdom a * snal ! enable you to bear well the
burdens which the national prohibition party ,
with supreme confidence , now lays upon you. "
ST. JOHN'S HEPLY.
"Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commit
tee : In receiving this formal notification of
my nomination for the highest office within
the gift of the people by the national'conven
tion of the prohibitionists , permit me , not
withstanding that the distinction was not
sought by me , to assure you , in view of the
unanimity with which it- was given , of my
high appreciation of the great honor it con
fers. There are more candidates in the field
to-day than there are political issues. Upon
the great question as to what shall be done
with the traffic of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage , both the democratic and republican
parties are united in 'favor of making the
traffic permanent , while prohibitionists de
mand that it shall be forever placed .under the
condemnation of the laws of the land. This
is an issue clearly made and , I think it proper
to say , the only one to-day that really reaches
the Heart and conscience of the citizens.
Upon this issue we go before the people , the
ource of all political power. Let us appeal
to the reason rather than the prejudice : let'
those resort to personal abuse and scandal
who have nothing better to uphold their
vci
cause. The prohibition party is not organiz
ing as a mere threat or menace ; it is the out
growth ! of rapidly increasing crystalized sen
timent against the great evil of the age , an
evil that the old parties dare not attack , but
against which this young party of the people ,
in defense of the homes of the nation , 1ms en L
tered upon a warfare that shall never cease 51
so long as the flag of our country waves its 51P
protecting folds over the legalized dramshops. 51o
In this struggle let us ever remember that we o
are accountable to God ; that our duty to Him Bbi
paramount to our allegiance to any politi biai
cal party ; that pol'tieal ties will never in His aiai
Bight excuse a ballot for any pat t- that does ai
not stand up fearlessly for the right. The InP
home will have nothing to fear if the people InPi
vote as they pray. " Pi
JI . DANIEL'S SPEECH. tn
"Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee -
tee : I am profoundly gratified for the honor
conferred by selecting me as one of the
standard bearers for the great reform move
ment. I accept the nomination for the ollicc-
f vice president and to do
, expect so more ar
formally by letter herealter , knowing well
that it is one of responsibility and involving th
nc little of personal sacrifice. I appreciate 30
his honor , not merely as a personal one , but tc :
a token of appreciation by the convention toHi ;
earnest , solid prohibition work that lias Hi
jceri done in my native state oi Maryland cu
ivithin ] the lew yeirs past. T also appreciate In :
as an indication of the desire of our breth- da
eu of the great north and west to obliterate
ill sectional party lines and build up a grand
inion party , composed of the best elements
both sides of the line in an array against
hc worst enemy of mankind. The represen
tatives of protection to homes everywhere
ire fighting against the saloons. ThN dispo- sp
lition Is more clearly evinced from the lact
hat I am the first person selected since the niY
var from a southern state as a candidate for niTl
national position , and I trust this action Tl
vill be the harbinger of that reipii of ha'r-
nony , good will and unity throughout the ex
and. which a poet has described as the union ic
lakes , the union of lands and the union of , , .
tat. s. None can sever the union of hearts , n'
he union of hands and the Hag of the union
orever. Whatever may be the r. suit of this ' I
iffort C so far as the precise number of votes
tolled is concerned , I believe the agitation to ;
of immense advantage to the cause and ov >
he country. I believe the result will be to
ivet the earnest and thoughtful attention of
he American people upon the liquor traffic , ve
his : gigantic crime of crimes , so as to cause ri
speedy adoption of such measures as will rim
Teatly hasten its overthrow. The duty of m
he hour is to crystallize and organ ze the si
irohibition sentiment. We have already en- sino
ered into political action and thus , Imvintr a no
tandard to which we can rally , we shall more II
apidly form whatever else ot sentiment that wi
nay be needed than in any other way. I
ave but to say in conclusion , that I shai : do wi
in my power now and henceforth to bear br
nward this prohibition standard. "

The Dial hand evidently did not look
