ing certain things and for the restrict on of
! the sale of cider he thought the legislature
was bound to give them the privilege to say
whether they would have such an amendment
or not He did not know whether or not the
gentleman from Thomaston desired to drive
the temperance people out of the republican
party.
| Mr.. Moore disclaimed any such intention.
| He did not know that they existed there As q
body.
Mr., Robinson-They do exist there. If
| they should be driven out Of that party there
would be a very small party left. The re-
publican party hsd solemnly pledged itself
that this amendment should be submitted to
| the people, and he did not believe
it was going back on its word.
He had been a republican ever since he had
been anything. But if the republican party
| should 90 back on its word and deny to the
| people what they now ask for, he had no
doubt there would be temperance party
| formed within two wears from this time.
