Is Prohibition Possible Through The
Old Parties?

For The Voice by II. Clay Bascom:-
"You are making q great mistake by
starting a Prohibition party" said a
nice old gentleman. you will throw
the Government into the hands of the
rum party, and spoil all prospects for
temperance REFORM"
THIS remark expresses a prevalent
impression among those who suppose
that the Republican party IS in some
sense allied to the temperance cause;
but the assumption is erroneous, and
inference unWarranted.
The national Republican party is in
the control Of the liquor traffic. Its Or
ganizers drink rum, it's managers use
floods of rumin working up campaigns,
it's candidates travel from place to place
before election and treat multitudes at
hotels and club-rocms. They leave vast
aggregates of money at the saloons to
be used to treat voters election-days;
they befriend the liQuor-dealers and al
tiliate with the drinking classes. Like
their Democratic rivals, Republican
politicians and Republican candidates
with some exceptions drink rum, and
are in sympathy with rum-sellers.
The whiskey power controls Repub-
lican legislation as truly as it controls
Democratic legislation, and, in the
main, the Courts are in the domination
Of rum. Attorneys, judges, and ]urles
drink. and it is little less than a moral
impossibility to enforce any law which
involves liquor interests. Thus, with
our electoral legislation and judicial
forces under the dominion Of rum, we
are. driven to new %expedients for relief
1t is not affirmed that there are not
more temperance men in the RepuDll-
can party North than are found in the
Northern Democratic party; put the
liquor element has the balance or
power in both parties, and n party
can do little more than the other 1or
the temperance cause
Hut, 1t is urged, it were wiser to on
serve what temperance clement is now
found in the Republican party ana
struggle patiently until the balance OF
mower can be had. This IS Impossible;

sacrificetE to secure that end 1t is,
therefore, impossibleto make Il balance
OF temperance power in the Republican
party. This is apparent in reason and
shown by history, 1t will be ramelm-
bered thai we have less states; under
p%rohibitory policy than obtained many
years ago. "v':
What, then, is the relief? Obviously,
it can only be found in a third party.
There are many temperance Democrats
who can never beinduced to unite with
the Republican party; nor will temper
ance Republicans unite with the'Dem-
ocratic PARTY; but, as the sequel has
proved, both will come from tie old
parties and join hands in a ceTnmon
conservation to fight rum under a new
party banner. When the temperance
men o fboth old parties haveall united.
they Will have become a balance of
power. They ear then command a ma
Jorlty, elect a President, and work up a
public sentiment which will ultimate
IN national Constitutional Prohibition.
1t is folly to talk about re%volutioniz-
ing the old parties. This is not the ma
ture OF civil or ecclesiastical systems.
Human regeneration presumesea new
birth; old things pass away and all
things become new. Luther protested
against the corruptions of Rome, and a
new Church was the product. Wesley
only attempted to revivifythe apathet.

Methodism from the effort. Great Bri.
tain oppressed colonial Subjects, and
their revolt ultimated IL American in.
dependence and a new nationality.
Southern slavery held q balance OF
political power and defed party purga,
ton or national abolition. Not until /;
new party was formed, was the slave
system disturbed; and the Wing part,
had to die and share q resurrection t,
life through the Abolition party bcfof,
the new Republican party could aLol

Just as lo2sg as Che liquor traffic oil
garchy can dominate the old parties
rum will remain king; but the Prohi
bition party is a verify; it has receive'
its sacred commission, and the intens

1t seems that some one has raked IN
a charge against Judge Clifford, but the
Watertown Courier disposes of it i the
following paragraph:
We have the very best authority fol
asserting that the report published in
the democratic papers in relation tc
Judge Gifford's having hired a saloon
at Pierre is absolutely and unqualified.
~ false. On the contrary, Judge Gif
f2rd's most ardent supporters were sol
id temperance delegates from some o:
the southern counties, and the worst
charge made against him was that he
refused to expend a dollar to secure his
nomination, but depended entirely up.
on the personal exertions of himself
and friends.
TO those who know Judge Clifford
the denial is hardly necessary.

There is much complaint over the

Whether these complaints are just or
unjust is a subject for discussion and
no doubt convincing arguments adj

the law off, with the evident purpose
Of inducing the legislature to amend it
