I believe that the most fitting answer for this question would be that the cities contained no alcohol. The Prohibition went into action in 1920 and lasted until 1933. Alcohol was largely banned, and 'dry' states banned the sale of any alcoholic beverages. Dry counties and different regulations on alcohol connected to the Prohibition are still in effect today. Hope this helps.
Compromise of 1877 and home rule is the two ways the 1876 elections signal the end of reconstruction. Compromise of 1877 is one of the two ways they did to signal the end of reconstruction in 1876 the other one was Home rule. The answer in this question is Compromise of 1877 and home rule.
