SATURDAY, APRIL "a, 1886.

Our space this week is largely oc-
cupied by articles discussing the tenn
perance issue which is to be decided
next Tuesday. The question is most
important one, and should be care
fully considered. 1t will be noticed
that all the articles in this issue are
in opposition to license. This is not
our fault. Two years ago we invited
communications for and against local
option. and published all that were
offered. That invitation has never
been Withdrawn. but the advocates
oflIcense have not awaited themselves
of the invitation by Offering anything
in their interest for publication dur
ing the present contest. We believe
in full, free and fair discussion of
every question affecting the interests
of our citizens. and the columns of
the REPUBLICAN are alwaysopen for
that purpose to any citizen of our
county.

Senator Browning was a Democrat
and wanted his bill TO pass the House
as it came from the Senate, and did
not wish ii to go into the hands Ot the
Delegates from Garrett. as he Was
afraid that they would amend it. His
motion failed for want of a cOnstitu-
tional majority. Why was this done?
L suppose that he did not wish us TO
see this unfair provision in his bill.
The next morning the bill was ham
ded to us and we reported it to the
House on the 18th, with an amend
ment which was adopted by the
House after considerable discussions.
On Wednesday following Mr.. Cas-
kill, of Allega ny, made a motion to
re-commit the bill and amendment
to IL special committee. 1t was so re-
terred, ana IA majority IF the commit
tee reported the bill fayorably, with
the a;iendments which Mr.. Brown
ing and his lobby had prepared be-
fore the bill was re-committed, and
were in the hand writing of the Sec
rotary of the Senate. One of the
amendments was prepared ty the
Speaker of the House. Our amend.
ment provided that the election
should be held this fall, and that the.
present law should remain in force
until May Isl, 1887. Mr.. BrOwning's
am endment to the original bill struck
out the fall election and provided for
special election, which / objected
to, and l believe that majority Of
the people of the county will sustain
me in the position l took. / think
that the liquor men of Oakland were
too hasty in seeking the repeal of the
law. have never denied the people
the right to have the question re.
submitted, at the right time and in
the right way.
AS to the high license provision,
Mr.. Browning and his lobby's cut
and dried amendment "cut out the
high license feature" and he made
the proposition and was seconded by
Mr.. Hole. Mr.. Browning had the.
amendment ready in his desk. from
whence he brought it, and it was APP
pended in my presence. This MIR.
Browning will not attempt to deny.
So far as Mr.. Browning having to ac-
cept the amendments to his original
bill, they were his own amendments,
and he must be held responsible for
them.
| haye been compelled to thus far
trespaSs upon the columns of your
paper in order that the people may
see the matter in its true light, and
will close by saying that / 4 ave stated
the truth and am prepared to defend
my position at al! hazards, whatever
may be said to the contrary, in order
to cover up the mistakes of others.
