THE PLHGET0 BUYgFOS lJIfnl1l HIN and Bain and see what you Christians and infidels are going to do about it I a sort of middle position in thiscount between Christians and infidels and I can talk to one well as the other I was born thatway and will never get over it When I was a college boy I not only stole chickens but great big fat turkey gobblers and had young preachers to me eat them and manya time I have been tempted to ask one of them to grace before eating them I was forcibly struck by Horaces line and Saxes travesty In tutdio lulissimus rewdyScotchmantwo watchmen- I know that Mr Ingalls has said that in American politics the the golden rule are an irridescen- tdreamnot in it so to speak While for a part of the decalogue I have no re gard the other part pertains to the fun damental principles of our civil law and in this special words Thou shaltnotcommitadultery good sound Prohibition doctrine importanceAs it is the basal principle of my religion and my from Billy Breckinridges record whole Pollard hyphenation and some other similar hyphenations in his career that have not been so prominently ventilated and can any modem Ration alist vote for such a man I do not care if a politician is a Christian My own man George W Bain is a Methodist against whose thorough orthodoxy I have never heard an insinuation But Billy Breckinridge born and reared in a religious sect the tenets of which have more than any others offended the sense of justice and reason of all Rationalists opposehismade a heroic effort to rid his sect of roastingofbrbiesintions that they dug some where with periodWhile the East he found time to take from his duties as a Congressman to fly off to the West with Lyman Abbott the infidel successor to the infidel Beechers and make speeches to defeat Prohibition defendingtheslingers which scheme was in direct violation of the principle of States principleConfederate soldier In this matter the Billybutterest of the liquor traffic eulogised him to the skies for his efforts in their behalf Jo Blackburn also a Presbyterian and Moodytowhisky guzzler of any men in America would no more have made those speeches against Briggs in the East and for whis ky in the West than he would have got ten himself mixed up in the Pollard tiness If Rationalism means anything worthy of our regard it means good morals and organizedpose to put public and private morals on a plane than anything that orthodox Christianity has done or pro poses to do Without flattery to self I think may safelysay that am the recognized high priest Rationalism for the diocese of Kentuckyand I am not willing to pose in the of one who simply combats the vagaries of Moses and the prophets of the Oldand New Testaments As I have re petedly told you honor Ingersoll for what he has done I think lie has been a hero and that the world is wiser and better that he has lived Though he is not at all in touch with me in my Prohibition and Woman Suffrage work the fact that he has encouraged largelypublishedpeople from all over the United States the majority of them being Prohibition goodIabove the mere dogmatic faith of Christianity show in these people a dency to Rationalism and the fact is that the disciples of Ingersoll have in prac gobecauseand ducats No thoroughly orthodox Christian can be a Prohibitionist According to the New Testament Jesus made wine and drankwine and told other people to drink it and the disciple is not above his master Then as I have said if we wipe from the record of Billy Breckinridge his whole personal impurityno Rationalist can be true to and vote for that man not that he has been a be liever in the dogmas and superstitions t1 if1 hrl ifJ of Christianity in common with all other religions as nearly everybody is but that he has assumed the aggressive and used the prestige of his name and fame and family to combat the principles of Rationalism notedly in the case of Briggs Now is an opportunity for us who call ourselves to show to the world what we mean The man who calls himself Rational ist now and yet will fall in with the ig norant Christian hoodlum sentiment that is reflected by such a as the Lexington Daily Press that tries to crush a poor and fatherless young woman to save a durned old grey headed hypocrite whose life for more than a quarter of a centuary has been one unbroken lie hoodlum gang will vote for Billy Breckinridge should keep his mouth shut after the election when he hears men of more courage superstitionChristianity of any age I feel no dis position to gloat over fact that Breck a has been so to grief and that in anintelectualtilt a young woman has been able to lay the great champion of tariff reform across her knees and link into his exposedrear with her slipper until he has used his silver tongue to beg like a cringing man who sought and gained the bubble reputation at the cannons mouth now pleads through his attorneyand lawpartner Shelby that because he was afraid of herpopand actually claims that the woman seduced him In the history anytltingand Pam en have figured in scandals allied in nature to this but you may add to these the bacarat scandal of the Prince of Wales and the Senator Sprague case and the CarstangShaw case and the half dozen others in American his tory and the aggregation does not ap hndiPidualWhen Eve Adam ran his hand down in itisbreeches pocket pulled out his Barlow knife cut him off a chunk and chawed it and said like a man damned if he would not rather go to hell with his wife than to heaven without her and that sentiment from then down until the time that Breckin ridge came on the stage in this role has been the prevailing one among men who were worthy to be called men But as Raleigh threw his cloak into the mud for the Queen to walk on so has this man Breckinridge who has a great part of his life in bloviatmlabout Southern chivalry throw into the mud and crush under his remorseless heel this joung woman whom he seduced and of whose children he became the father while he had a devoted living wife in order that his dainty Presbyterian feet elected from sUpperSinfrom the contaminating soil of earth What then shall of Bill Owens His biography is short and sweet but gamblerblooded and deliberate to refrain from drinking liquor in order that he might win the money of those with whom he plays cards This is notoriously true commonly said among his friends who are now working for his nomination among whom is Editor Garrett of the Georgetown Enterprise He is a man who scoots out when the grand jury is going to convene and wants testimony about gamblers- I have heard itsaid of him that he is an infidel I do not know about it If he is and has the manhood to say so I would honor him for it and he would spike my batteries He will play the Christians for their votes just as muchas Billy Breckinridge would Now what shall we say of Bain Born a poor man in your midst he has by in dustry and honestly gotten him a beauti fel home in this city and is just as clean as Billy Breckinridge is unclean He is known and loved as a man and an orator from ocean to ocean and has been ten times as many people as have heard Breckinridge and Owens those two men were bringing upon Kentucky the disgraceful herOIcallylaboredand has stood among those at the very head of the national councils of the Pro hibition party A more knighly man never drew the breath of life While he has the substantial and genuine qualities of a man he has among women and among men a courtliness of address a suaviter in tnodo worthy of Chesterfield and his equal in all the highest and grandest essential elements of a Congressman never went from Kentucky to Washing tonWhat is Democracy It is an effete imbecility in intellect and a rottenness in morals the stench of which offends high heaven and the doom of which is even now signed and scaled What is Republicanism It is worse than highway robbery It has robbed the treasury of States just as literally and truly as Honest Dick Tate robbed treasury of Kentucky and worse than Tate it has used this money to corrupt under the guise of pensions franchise for partisan pur is Prohibition It is in its moralaspects the grandest political or ganization that world ever saw and in its financial aspects it is by far the wisest embodyment of political reforms that leas been

George W Haiti For this I will not get even the glittering glory of oratory for I am no orator If then under these circumstances I cast my vote and use my mite of influence for the Christian gentleman

and that if the speech sec onding his nomination is made byairy J11Reaucltanip gracefullythanthat it would perhaps he in better taste speechesfrolllThe policy of the campaign is to ex hibit practically a fundamental principle- of Prohibition politics namely that the office should seek the man rather than that the man should seek the office Col Bains political views and his powers as an orator are so thoroughly recognized throughout this State that there would hardly be any occasion for his taking the stump after the ordinarymethods of the old parties yet are very earnest calls for lull he will be advised by his friends who will manage the cam paign to respond to them and will al uost certainly do so Lhile Col Bain will of course make rafe as the champion of Prohibition le is his friends feel themselves arrauted in believing that his support ought not to be and will not be limited to party Prohibitionists but they be politicsdemand that all moral citizens of this district regardless of any previous tical or should bine to support Col Bain whose life ha been one of the highest personal purity and intelligent philanthropy as opposed to the narrow partisanism and immoral- it of any man now likely to oppose him It is by his friends urged that both the 1 moral reputation and business interest of the Slate of Kentucky have been so damaged by the notoriously immoral character of manyof the men in late thereisregardhcThe national reputation of Col train is such that his election to Congress from this the most distinguished and historic district of the State would do as touch to elevate the State in our own estimation as well as that of others as the career and exposure of Breckinridge have don to disgrace us and to make the name anil fame of Kentucky a stench

the same sonic time since and by persons in various parts of the United States in answer to my Encyclical Letter One of these letters was writ ten by Mr L H Grober of Covington Kv lie knows nothing of me except through my paper and I know nothing of him except through his letter I re publish the first part of his letter be cause I think it is speciallyrelevant KV July 26 93 Charles Moore Esq Dear SirI am in receipt ofyour favor of the 22nd instant In reply to your query how I like your paper I desire to say that I like it very much and admire your although I am not in sym pathyWltll some of your doctrines par- ticularl Woman Suffrage and Irohibi- tion In my humble if the cause of Prohibition ever triumphs it will be through Woman Suffrage Of course this is what you are trying to bring about But suppose you establish Woman Suffrage you will find that the only women who will take any active inter simplemindedcIeluded psalmsinging kind who will after they succeed in crushing the liquor traffic and with determined preachers to lead them on next turn their attention to Freethinkers Infidels and Atheists and venture to predict that the Editor of the Blue Grass Blade would find the G region so uncomfortable that he would be glad to find refuge in some wicked beer drinking city Cincin nati for instance- likedont think the wives laborers and working would have time or inclination to neglect their household duties and become politicians This business would be left to their more fortunate sisters those whosccircnmstanccs enable them to live without toil or drudgery the latter class you know arc the main support of churches and meaning the Protestant denominations- By advocating Prohibition and Woman Suffrage I think you are furnishing your enemies with weapons for your own of Kentucky know you as orator ami writer to be a woman of exceptional intellect this gentleman who perhaps does not know ou would indiscriminately blend you with those simpleminded deluded creatures of the churchgoing psalmsinging kind who with determined preachers to lead them will next turn their attention to thinkers Infidels and Atheists now as well as I that of the wo went to church last Sunday rn who went to show their Hast iS to one who went to learn ith which to bless human tw and everybody knows minded deluded creat churchgoing psalmsinging hose who have succeeded to Aaron and Hur to hold up ite hands of the soldiers of o ru church militant m a woman like you to me in my work as a Woman Suffragist am bound to see the force in Mr Grobers reasoning that I am furnishing the stick to break my own head Assuming for the sake of argument that in Cur differing religious opinions are right and that I am wrong you certainly have not forgotten the fable of the man and cloak and how the wind f and the sun tried to make him take off You dont often have an infidel to tell coursehkeyoursIt makes me hate religion and drives me further from it The miraculous claims of Christianity can not be sustained by cold logic and demonstration and neither you nor any preacher in Lexington will hazard those claims by an attempt to sustain them even with me unskilled in the arts of oratory as an opponent before- a Lexington audience There is then leftIlogicallytenablemen purer and better and more gentle and patient and loving than others But to me you do not show these characteristics to anything like the extent that a number of infidel women have done With such men on my side as Jefferson Franklin Tyndall Darwin Herbert Spencer Huxley Buckle and Draper and with such women as Madam de Stael Mrs Ward of Robert Hll mere and Helen M Gardner and withsuch men on your side as Talmage Sam Jones Drs Raiusford and Van de Water and Billy Breckinridge you do not hesi tate so to assume the infallibility of your position and the fcllahilily of mine that you cut me off from all dis cussion rolling out your little Procrustean trundle lied stretch me or saw me off as the case may demand to suit the standard that you can successfully erect only because you have the advan tage of numbers on your side If might makes right and I should alike most reverently retire from our contest with the overwhelming numbers that oppose our views of Prohibition and Equal Rights At least nine tentlms of the voters theIalleged fine a license as it really is and is intended to be Three Christian men here one of hem being a minister of this town and he names ofall of whom I am read to furnish you on demand have argued with me for the licensing of the bro thels of Lexington just as earnestly and religionyourletterpaper and adroitly stiking me withan iron a velvet glove I received letter from a man ordering a discontin uance of his paper the grievance ote being as in your case the attitude the Blue Grass Blade takes on religious questions Like you he kindly and justly paid me for the papers that went to and to his mother in a distant personalfriendboth when Iwas a Democratic editor and a Prohibition editor He is a mem ber of the Short Street Baptist Church in Lexington and has recently become whiskybondedPresbyterian Internal and Internal Rev appointedWillie of the silver tongue and the brazen cheek This same Shelby is the son of the noble grandsire who was first Governor of Kentucky and he i also the daddy of the featherweight pugilist that recently figured in that pacitas Willies champion in Washington court house This Baptist whisky storekeeper lately met me in Lexington at the corner of East Short and North Limestone and in language even more zealous mid en thusiastic than that in which you de fend your religion argued to me that the brothels of Lexington should be li licersingothe f t that is being made for the licensing of the saloons namely that the and the brothels are equally intended t gratify the appetites of men that have t be gratified or unlawfully and that of course it is better that it should be done lawfully A very weal gentleman of this city who is a phy sician and a banker and an active and prominent man in the Methodist church made exactly the same argument to me as we stood on the southeast corner of High and South Upper streets A cler gyman in the Episcopal church in Lex ington with a cross hanging around his neck made exactly the same argument to me in the jewelry store of Mr A Jones in this cIty Jones one a his parishioners being present am joining me in opposing him plainlyplanlanguageown medicine Your letter to me doe you the injustice to identify you with those three and tends to slut mouth to

now exists but the whole Christian reli gion as taught in the New Testament the enenn of Prohibition do this- recognizing that the main part of Prohi bitionists are Christians and while greatly admire the character of Jesus of Nazareth occupy this position be cause while two per cent of the Christian voters of America vote for Prohibi tion ninetyeight per cent of them vote against it Whilejesus was a great infidel and reformer and did an immense good for the world the New Testament rcpresenlhinmmidanmomiits represents that he made wine at Cana of Galilee as his first miracle If Jesus oflhisto

the argument un her this head and willsoon publish itIIn the subjoined extract from a letter of Rev Dr George Van de Water as it was pnblised by the New York Voice it will be noticed that the man urges this story of the alleged mir aculous making of wine at Can a of s Galilee to justify liquorjj as saloon keepers Some lime ago Rev New York City from ed the establishment or drinking saloons to b with the churches each churcT its own drinking saloon Preci same argument that Dr Rainsford for the conducting of the saloon in nection with each church congregation would sustain the conducting of brothel in each congregation for the benefit of its own members male and female The argument was that human beings had stronganimal passions that could not be subdued by law and that the best way to make lawabiding citizens of the people would be to legalize the institutions that are intended to gratify these passions Cityhasford the former claiming as will be seen from the subjoined extract from his let ter that the saloon is to be the great means of saving souls to Christ I am glad to see such utterances Thc show that the Prohibition work is driving these lying hypocritical reverend scoun drels to desperation and that as Doctors of see a necessity for heroic treatment for the malady of their patient Exactl the same kind of talk pulpitjustnot merely apologized for the infamy of slavery but showed and with resistless force from the New Testament that slavery was right I do not propose to answer the argument real or socalled of Dr Van de Water It would take utv printhischurch is the

man looks at saysitplication table that it is a tissue of lies from begginning to end all you can do in answer to such a man is to call him a fool That is all that can be said for Rev Van de Water To
