Nothing briggs purity IN WsBsVh
and politics insO disrspate so quickly
and certainly 40 hypOqsisy aud cans.
These two traits arc the attending evils
Of every good purpose or motive. For
long time, leaders Of the Republican
party have taught their followers that
whatever is truly good, moral, honest,
faithful, decent, sober or intelligent
among the people, is found among and
InursssAtlly belonga - that party,
and tbat the bad inneeall disIonpat,
unfaishfal, iudsOSns drdAksn, igaafAht
elements of society are to be found IN
the Democratic. party. Especially have
Republican leaders, for years, (until
recently been teaching tho people that
that party wis . temperance party.
So pefsistsnslY and assiduously has
this been .aaght and Insisted uPon,that
the tenperancs o. prohibition element
in that party were led to believe that
when the demand nhoud bo made, that
party in national con sention assembled
would not hesitate to put prohibisory
plank in their platform. The demand
was made At Chicago,and these leaders
at once avoke to the truth Of the fact
that they had . very large aizsd sle-
plant on their hands. Protests came
up fsom Republican liquor dealers and
saloon keepers all over the country
threatening q dsfeaStho psrGy 10 case
II aoceded TO The demand Of "these
crazy prohibition fanatics" and the
party completely ignoted'this demand
tor prohibitory plank, and followed
the dictates Of the liquor dealers. On
the other hand the Democratic party, a.
party, is opposed to'prehibition, and
has not indulged in any hyPocriecali
cant professions 10 favor Of 1t. But. Al
in the Republican, 30 there is in th'
Democratic. pErsy, asany senfporanC'
men, fact that has been apparent fol
years, bat, Republicans thinking h
make party capital, sought to consro
vert this truth aud make profession o
7 great friendship for the cause Of probi
bitios. But, now, that their eyes hAv'
become opened to tho fact that this ap
parent endorsement Of temperance ha
injured them, tasy bavO all at oncs dis
covered that the prohibition sentimen
is very strong in the Democratic party
and they now point with the mos
unctious satisfaction to what Dsmo
Q cratic prohibitionisIs arc doing in Dem
ocratic states. We have no doubt th
q leaders Of that party xoull rejoice
!. see the Democratic party espouse th
. Cause Of prohibition, for they now bs
!. lisve it would result IN the return c
a thsir party 70 power At ones. All 9
!. these things go to shov that these cam
. hypOctiticaI leaders Of the party woai
q cheSrfully espouse either side Of tbs
Is question if they thought IL would n
,e turn them TO power. They would .
IN freely ally themselves with the liauC
r. dealers as they wsuld with the prob
" bitionists. We speak now Of the car
sr leaders of thst party and not the votel
ID in general Of the party. We run 4
d risk of being called a false prOPhs
when We say that neither Of the prsssr
political parties will ever espouse ii
as cause Of prohibition.

He has a deal Of craft of Ibe wiser

may be in error aud ovel-cOn6dent
