at present, IL how to make q State plat
form on the temperance question 90 that
Il will be like the celebrated coon trap

We don't think any Democratic plat
form need to cay q word about temper

temperance advocates, and practical
demonstrators In their daily lives Of ~
virtues. But tho platform ought 70 con
denim the falIacy aud fanaticism Of pro-
