SOME of our esteemed contemporaries
are still engaged in discussing the Ed

war articles. These are live topics,

4 St. Louis paper recently printed
what purported to be interviews with
the members of the legislature of this
State on the question of their preferences
among candidates for the presidency.
The conclusion drawn was that a great
majority of our legislators are rabid
Blaine men. 1t has been plainly shown
on investigation that many of the alleged
opinions are bogus, and so this Blaine
boom loses what little value it might
otherwise have possessed.

JAS. G. BLAINE, OF MAINE,

PROHIBITION MOVEMENT
And illustrates With an AneedOte
From HOratiO Seymour what
HeThinks of George.

Mr.. Blaine, while in Boston en- route
to Philad lphis, was interviewed by
the Record. He said: "rhe situation
in Pennsylvania is about the same as
it was in Maine. Tle prohibitory
party men are det rmlued to destroy
the Republican party. l can speak in
Pennsylvania with much more ease
than in almos t any o'htr ate, for the
reason that the Republicans have put
plank in their platform advocating
the submission of the prohibition ques.
ton to popular vote. 1t is the only
proper way to decide the matter. 1t
was what we did in Maine in 1868,
and can tel them in Pennsylvania
how it worked in Maize"
"How about New York Sta.e?"
at is little different there. Iprs-
sumo if the gu st ON was submit ed
to popular vote it would be defeated,
and that is the very reason why the
temperance faua les oppose such a
proposition. 1t is true that the Re.
publican party has never formally ad-
vocated prohibition in its platform,
but every law that has tended in
any way to suppress; the liq1or traffic
in the State has been passed by Re-
publican Legislatures. 1 remember
an anecdots that Gov. ymour told
me himself which bears on this very
question, and which is, by the way,
against prohibition. Seymour Yves
