PersonnlLiberty.

The Ottumwa Democrat, now the
the leading newspaper light in the
Democratic party of Iowa, thus en-
phatically lays down the law for that
party:
Now that reorganization Of the
Democratic party i'm Iowa Is well as
sured, there are many who are in-
quiring as to what position the party
will assume on the Liquor License
Question. The Germans especially
are anxious oD this subject, and 1t is
time that all their fears may be set
at rest. The Democratic party of
Iowa Will stand as it always stood,
for the personal liberty Of every
citizen, and on the Liquor Question
it will declare emphatically for D
we'll regulated License Law. The
Autobiography Party evaded the
issue and declared only in general
terms for Personal Liberty. The
Democracy never finch from any
question, They have always been
in favor of License and will so de-.
clare in their next State Conven-
ton.
Mr.. Evans Of the Democrat, and
his more radical followers, will un-
doubtedly dictate the platform for
the next Iowa Democratic conven-
tion, and will make 1t strong enough
in favor of free whisky to suit the
most violent advocates Of license.
If they do, the Republican party
will be compelled to take firm
ground in opposition; and this we
shall hope to see 1t do, and let the
issue be made squarely. 1t must
come eventually. and it may rs well
come next year. We should not
favor law so extreme that it could
not be enforced, but the features OF
our present law which make sellers
responsible for all damage done in
consequence Of their sales, should be
retained I; and the purchaser as we'll
as the seller should be held responsi :
BILE. Drunkenness should be made a
misdemeanor, and should be made
punishable by a severe fine, If not
by Imprisonment. The Republican
party ca nnot afford to take any
backward step upon this question !;
and we confidently believe it will
not. No permanent success can
come to any party as a result OF pam
dering to the vicious and demoraliz-
ing elements and tendenciesof go
ciety.
There is really no necessity for
making this an issue between the
two parties, and we had INDUCED
the hope that the few hundreds of
voters in this State who have been
holding the liquor club over both
parties for number of years would
not succeed in forcing such an issue /;
but if it must be made an" irrepressi-
BILE conflict" let 1t come. Let it
be fully understood, IL must be, that
the Republican party is temper
ane party, and that the Democrat
ic party desires to be known as favor
ing whisky license law. The sharp
er the conflict the more emphatic
will be the decision. We have no
fears as to the result. Iowa does
not want free whisky, and will not
have it.
