publican party, and have always been a Re-
publican, aud have tried to stand upon the
Declaration OF Independence, and bear aloft
the stars and stripes; but could not indorse
blue laws, coercion and prohibition, aud was
driven to support Hon. Adolph Biermann for
congress. During the past three years have
stood almost alone in this city, in favor of
license and liberty. and against all sumptu-
airy laws as are reflected by that great plank
in the Democratic platform made at Chicago
At this election the opposition TO sumptuary
laws carried the day by a handsome majority,
and hope that majority may be increased
hAf our next spring election. And console
&pysef with the memory that there always
WAS a charm in The Democratic story
about free trade and hard money, and
I am free TO pronounce the country safe in
the arms Of the Democrats. All hail to the
administration of Grover Cleveland.
