and unequivocally In favor of such laws as will
permit the people in their several localities to
have such measures of restriction of the
liquor traffic as they may deem wise. 1t
recognizes that principle as clearly as Ian
guage can express it, although it may not
have seen fit to assume the functions of the
ment of the people upon details. It left all that
to the proper tribunal and to the proper time.
A criticism is passed upon the nomination
of Captain Lemcke by the same purists who
are SO glib with their assaults upon the integ-
rity Of men as good as, if not better than. them
selves. It was a fact. and significant one,
that Captain Lemcke was nominated by the
votes of the strongest Republican temperance
counties-so known--in the State The vote
of the Sixth district was given largely for
him. Wayne gave him 90 out of 81. Henry,
Randolph, Delaware and other counties voted
largely for him. Hendricks and Parke
voted for him with practical unanim-
ity. These votes thus given. and the
ticket as constituted, showed, more conclu-
sively than anything else, that the convention
knew no North, no South, no East, no West,
no imaginary line dividing supposed senti-
ment on any question; but by the magnificent
enthusiasm with which the platform was
adopted, and by the heartiness and unanimity
of the nominations made, that it was thor
oughly representative convention of the Re-
publican party, with war paint on, and ready
to take the war-path against the common
enemy. This is the fact that hurts, and that
has started all the Democratic hounds and
their assistants-whelp, mongrel and cur-into
a common chorus. Let them howl.

A LOUISVILLE man says it was the movn
that caused the earthquake. A good many
had thought it was Winneke's comet that
was at the bottom of the racket, but now it is
all made so plain that even Louisville man
thinks he understands just how it was done.
It took the moon a long time to get in its
work, but it did so at last with a thorough

ton of that orb to make itself felt in mum

WILL some one have the kindness to pass
the cordial to the Cincinnati Enquirer It
took upon itself the office of peace-maker
in the State of Indiana, and sent out
ENJOYS to arrange for pouring oil on
the troubled waters of Democratic poll
tics, and it has not only failed in this
philanthropic effort but is now confront
ed with domestic political troubles. The
charges brought against Mr.. Mcbride, the
Democratic candidate for Secretary of State
in Ohio, are of nature to make sick the
warm heart of the Enquirer, and it is in sack
cloth and ashes foot deep. The Enquirer
walls:
''There ought to be some way out of this
dilemma. There ought to be some way to as
certain the real facts before the State cam
paign opens. Can it not be done9 If the
plaintiff is not playing bribed game to in
jure McBride's political chances, and if Nc
Bride is ready, as an innocent man, to meet
the charges then let the case be called at
once, by agreement, before a special judge
and an impartial jury. There ought not to
be weeks delay. The State of Ohio wants
the facts"
Piling right on top of this load of misery
comes the latest report from the EnSgirer's
missionary, SEM to Indiana for the pufF Pose of
seeking out some corner somewhere where
Democratic harmony can be found even in
the smallest quantities. Writing from Terre
Haute, the home of Senator Voorhees,, he
says:
II am in hopes before leaving the Hoosier
State to strike some Democratic citadel where
there is real harmony. In my triangulations
thus far [ have not found it. There are too
many kickers and heads obtruding their
griefs. Their grievances do not assume any
deep-seated moral or political principle, but
are sequence of disappointed ambition and a
greed for Office"
1t will yet become necessary to offer re-
ward for genuine article of harmony, bear
ing the Democratic stamp. The eyes Of the
party are now centered on the convention
which is to meet in this city to-day to select
a candidate that will be sweetly accepted by
all, and it is confidently expected that the
right kind of man may be found. This much
is certain, however, that the man chosen must
be some one agreeable to the Englishes, father
and son, and their many friends, else the war
will go right on. With Simeon Coy and the
Englishes placated, harmony may come right
in and sit, not only at the table, but on the
table, if it so p)eases. Sometimes it sits
under the table. 1t is to be hoped that there
will be sweetness and light, and that the En-
quirer may have prominent seat at the
feast.

THE columns of the News, at the time of
the lowering of the flag in honor of Jacob
Thompson, and during the revival of Jefferson
Davis in Georgia and other States, were filled
with much more foolish talk" than is the
Republican platform 1t was from our con-
temporary that the platform evidently drew
its inspiration, and il is an awful tumble to
ones implicit faith in the all-wiseness of the
News to be told now that such language is
'foolish," and does '.no credit to good taste. !"

FLYNN and Squire, the last men to be de-

very bitter in their denunciations of the daily

cage, goes to prove that the press has lost
none of its power, nor has it failed to exert
itself for the good of the public. Rogues do

THE second escapade of Victoria Morosini, the
foolish girl who eloped with her fathers coach
man. is just what might have BEEN expected
She must have known that the man Schilling
was not her social or mental equal, and that
marriage with him could have but one result
other than confessing her fault and going back
to her fathers, as she should have done. Instead
of doing that she has taken up with Boston
dude and her speedy descent to still lower levels
is morally certain. 1t never pays for girl to
make fool of herself under the impression that
it is romantic or anything else than unpardona-
bly, stupid and wicked. 1t is to be hoped now
that this woman will drop out of the public gaze
and not take up so much space in the public
press.

The Thing to Try Now.

Prohibition closes the front door of the saloon.
High license will close many a saloon entirely,
and would be the means of making the traffic all
sumo the sburden it now puts on the people.
High licenee would make one saloon watch its
fellows, so that none of them escape the tax paid
by proprietors disposed to be honest. This is the
thing to try in Indiana before proceeding to the
enactment of prohibitory laws that cannot be en-
forced at this time

The Republicans and Prohibition.

A clause was offered in the Repub-
lican convention favoring the submits
sion of the constitutional amendment
for prohibition to the people. This
section of the platform was warmly
discussed, pro and con, and much ex-
element created, when Mr.. Houk
offered the following amendment,
which was adopted:
"That the people have the undoubt-
ed right to alter, amend or abolish
their constitution and form ofgovern-
ment none will dispute. Therefore,
resolved, that the republican party of
the state of Tennessee recognize the
right of the people to have the SUBJ
mission amendment voted upon at
the ballot-boX."
Mr.. Houk made the following re-
marks in support of his amendment;
Gentlemen, l ask you to give me
