the Republican party is attempting
to set itself up as the "God and mo

the records and statutes show that
the Democratic party has framed all
the salutary and good temperance
laws now in force, and that the beer
brewers and liquor sellers always
used the Republican party to "get
in their best work" instead of the
Democratic party. The same condi-
ton of facts exist in a majority of
the other States.
The Republican party in Ohio is
hypocritieal onthe temperance, as

of the party that one year it carries
an election by making a great clam

year by a howl about rebel claims,
