tccting hand of official power In their
struggles for life aud happiness, opposes
the importation of paupcr labor under
contract To compete with our citl-
Zens, and opposes convict labor as
being in opposition To the free labor
of our country. ON the subject
of prohibition the resolutions say: Con-
stiiutional prohibition has been fruitful
of discord, perjury and discrimination'

ance, but rather destroyed the pure fire
side influence which must be the loving
power to control the appetite of the
weak and hayward. That II
has never been endorsed or
acuuiesced in by n majority OF
our people; that II is an assault upon the
personal liberty of the citizens; that II
has destroyed and literally conliscated
private property without compensation
and il is not in harmony with the SPIRIT
of free people to dictate To an in-
dividual what he shall eat, drink or
wear, and what religion, if any, he shall
profess. In view of the foregoing and
other reasons We demand a
rcSubmiSsion of the prohibitory amend
mont, and pledge ourselves To work un-
ccasingly for this object. We demand
the repeal of the present obnoxious
and unjust law for the enforcement of
prohibition, and in it's stead well reg
ulated liccncc system, rigidly enforced,
whereby the interest of true temperance
may be promoted and the liberty of the
citizen restored, and we reiterate the
views of your worthy candidai"
in his letter of acceptance, that laws
unnecessarily interfering with the hah-
its and customs with any of the moral
sentiment of the civilized world, and
which are consistent with good citizen
ship and the public welfare, are unwise
and veXatious.
The resolutions were unanimously
