had seen him when other men wsre asleep,

Int voluntarily barred his breast to the

The platform reported by the committee
acknowledges God in the Government; de-
clares thai traffic in alcoholic beverages,
under the laws of the National and State
Government, is productive of crime and
~pauperism, q burden to taxation for penal
and sheitering institutions, and endang-
ering the public peace n ~corrupting
politics, and imposing maV.ifoid other evils
upon The people; these Avs are a little
contrary to good laws, and contrary to our
happiness. and we call upon our fellow
citizens to aid in the repeal Of these laws,
and to lead in the suppression Of this
benefit in the traffic. The history OF
the past "a years leads to the conclusion
that the Republican party is ~insensibie to.
OF impotent for. the redress OF these
wrongs. and should no longer be intruss-
ed with the Government. The Presiden-
tial nominee of the last convention. Mr..
Blaine, has within years past published
and recommended that the liquor revenue
be distributed among the States, and Lo-
gan has devoted his advocacy to revenue
for the support of schools. This is virtu.
ally a recommendation of the perpetua-
tlOA u tlp Y u 6AuOs 1aO 1oA4oS -
is against prohibition, and proves that it
should not be entertained in power and
place. There can be no greater peace TO
the nation than by effecting a compete
ton of the Republican and Democratic
parties for the liquor vote. We favor re-
form in the administration Of the Govern
ment; in the abolition of all sinecure
offices and officers; in the election Of Post
masters of the Government instead Of ap-
pointment by the President, and that
competency, honesty and sobriety are the
essential qualifications for holding civil
ofices; that the collection of revenue
from alcohol liquors and tobacco should
be abolished as a vice of men.
