of Greene; Member of Board of Public
Works, Amos Miller, of Logan. The
following is the platform adopted:
1. The protection of life, property and
| home by the legal prohibition OF the liquor
traffic of the State is the most important
duty of the lawmaking power.
2. That no government should cuntravene
| the purpose of its formation by taking into
public service those who are connected with
| the liquor traffic, or addicted to the danger
| Gus vice Of drinking.
3. That since the work of legislation il
political and all other parties fail to advo
cate or promise prohibitory action, a special
| prohibition party is demanded.
4. That the right of suffrage rests on nc
mere circumstance of color, race, former
social condition, sex, or nationality; but in
heres in the nature of man, and when from
any cause it has been withheld from citizens
of our country who are Of suitable age and
mentally and morally qualified for the dis
charge of its duties it should be speedily
restored by the people in their sovereign
capacity.
5. Since virtue, education and intelligence
are necessary to the well-being of republican
institutions, we would foster the free schoo
system, denying to all religious sects and
other associations control or management o
| the funds for its maintenance, and enforcing
| by proper legislation the education of all the
| children of the State.
8. We favor the free use of the Bible, moi
as ground Of religious creeds, but as a
| textbook of the purest morality, the best
liberty, and the noblest literature, in oul
| public schools, that our children may grow
| up in its light, and that its spirit and princi
Iles may pervade our nation.
z. The Christian Sabbath, moreover, was
ordained for the good of man, and Christians
in a Christian country should not be de
| privcd of its peaceful enjoyment by the
