The last resolution of the platform adopted by the Republicans of Massachusetts at their l recent convention is a model:
 ''The duty of all Republicans Loyalty to sup. port the candidates of the party and the duty of nominating conventions to present cand- dates who are acceptable to all Republicans are reciprocal duties of equal force and obli- gation. Profoundly sensible of the impor- tance of the impending election to the nations safety, honor and we'll being, the Republicans of Massachusetts demand of their delegates to the national convention that they use all prop er efforts for the nomination of a candidate whO having the requisite qualifications for the high office of President, will also have the confidence and approval of all who have hith- erto acted with the Republican party; who will invite the support of other patriatic citi zens desiring good government more than par ty success, whose nomination will be most ex- Sedient because most worthy and least ob- Jectionable. and whose triumphant election to which we pledge our hearty and united efforts will give assurance of the continuance of sound l and beneicent policies of administration and of uninterrupted and growing national pros perity. Whlle we do not instruct our dele l gates, we commend to their consideration as l Republican statesman who possesses in an em | inent degree such qualities and requisites for the nomination, the honorable George F. Ed munds of Vermont"
 The enunciation of the fact that it is the duty of party conventions to present accepta- ble names in order to entitle their nominees tn the legal support of the voters of the party, marks forward step in political morality.
 Hitherto the duty of implicit obedience has been preached to the voter, whatever the char
 acter or qualifications of the nominee.

A Temperance Incident.

X very remarkable incident of the Temper ance agitation Tn Winsted wasthe action of the women of that place at the town election in 1879. A tremendous effort was being made by the liquor dealers, and the;. patrons the liquor drinkers, to carry ayote of 'license. " peal to the electors of the town to vote ''no license" to which they got more than taoetrf hundred signatures of women and girls over sixteen. Only about twenty-five of the women applied to, refused to sign it. We cannot give accurately the total number of women and girls over sixteen in the place. but believe, from the best information we can get, that it is not over sixteen hundred. The ladies also made great effort on election day, and the result was a handsome majority for ''no license"
 This movement would seem to have been a perfect success, as we'll as proof of the over wheln,ing influence women would bring to the suffrage on temperance matters. There is one thing further, however, to which we must re- fer as showing how much women suffrage is needed on other points than the direct vote on license The chief practical difficulty has always been, not the passing such vote, but it's enforcement after passage. Take the case ot Winsted, for instance. There is needed first of all a competent officer to execute process. a matter ot prime importance in the service of seizure warrants The Sheriff of the County, though resident of Winsted, is, or recently has been engaged in tue liquor traffic himself; his deputy is also a strong 'license" man and at the very election at which ''no license" was carried, Constable Ryan, the most eff1c- tent officer in the town for the service of tenn perance process, was defeated by the rum power. Had justices been chosen at the same election, every temperance justice would no doubt have met the same fate. Luckily theirs is two years term, and they escaped slaugh- ter.
 How evident it is, then, that something more than women's indirect influence is need ed to secure the enforcement of the temper ance laws on our statute book What we want is the woman's direct. vote,-not only on license, but for town officers Otherwise, the rum power will generally be able to par alyze vote of mo license" by rendering it's enforcement impracticable. at the very time when the majority is clearly against it on the main question.
