order-loving men that have the welfare and
perpetuity of this great nation at heart and who
wish to eradicate from our country its greatest
enemy, intemperance, thereby restoring peace,
prosperity and happiness i'll thousands of its
homes.
Resolrcd That we condemn the action of Jas
G.. Blaine in retaining from voting either for or
against the Prohibition amendment, recently
submitted to the people of his State as the act
of one who would shirk duty and responsibility
whenever il came III coniiictwith his individual
interests; and We declare that said refusal to
vote was the more CCuSuTabc. coming as il did
from one who. within few years has given his
testimony publicly that the prohibition law in
Maine was success, and had leSsened crime
and pauperiSm and We declare that such omis-
sion 10 vote, and the public avowal of il. was
either the result Of moral cowardice, or an open
bid for the votes for himself at the coming cleo
ton of the supporters Of the liquor traffic. and
of the vicious and corrupt elements of society;
and we declare that such action upon his part
shows him TO be lacking in true manhood, and
the votes of ireemen.
