We ere told that tho outgiying IN
our laat OF our purpose not 10 sup
port tho ticket OF the diStinctiyaly
prohibition party tho present year.
has attracted some COMMENT both
from our temperance friends nnd
thoir opponents. We had scarcely
supposed that other side would have
anticipated o different courso from
us at this time. While not abating
an iota OF our opposi.ion.to the liquor
traffic, and while holding in high re-
spoct tho leaders md disciples Of the
prohibition party, State and Nation
al, We yet recognize tho fact that
there are othor issues which. this
year, in our judgment, should have
precedence. We believe that the nd
minlstration OF President Cleveland
has been n long stride in advance, rs
an agency of political reform, Of any
other We have had for many years,
and that O second term OF the sameis
clearly demanded by tho beet inter
estG of tho people, in order to the
completion Of tho reforms so well
begun, md With which NO have been
in sympathy since 1872 We be-
liovo that the line Of National policy
outlined in President Cleyelands last
annual message IL ofparnmount pros
ont Importance. No lens q man than
Henry George, the brains OF the "a
Dor movement, found in this message
good reason for holding bis own
party in allegiance, and acting with
tho Democrats the present year. In
like manner We hold the endorsement
of tho Presidents views of National
policy es Of moro Importance than
anything which the prohibition party
can effect this year. In this State
tho question is temporarily disposed
Of, while nationally, as wo have said,
the Issues raised by MIR. Cleveland
lead this year.
Whatever others may think, these
reasons sufficiently indicate to US our
duty in tho coming political cam
paign, again to support worthy
nominees of the Democratic party.
But we at tho same time utterly ro-
pudiato and set at defiance tho gag
rule adopted OF Fort Worth. We
shall continue to publish temperance
literature freely, We shall applaud
oil good which may result from the
prohibition Organization and agita-
ton, and orr columns shall be opon
to fair presentation of their views.

Sound Sentiments from an Old Democrat

AUSTIN, Juno i, 1000
Ed. FREE Pass Il admire the
honest and vigorous warfare which
your excellent paper has wagod in
the interest of the people and free
government against tho influence of
alcoholic liquors.
I regard the insertion Of The So
called "heart of oak" plank in the
platform OF the recent convention at
Fort Worth as o stab OF the very ii
tails of the Democratic party. This
plank asserts what every man knows
who has thimblefnl of brains, 10 not
true. The question of prohibition OF
liquor is not settled, and the election
of last August IS not regarded even
by the enemies Of prohibition as q
finality. TO soy in the face of 1870
900 voters, nine tenths of
whom were Democrats, that that the
settlement isregnrded as fnAlity, is
too transparent to need any argu-
ment,
The writer OF this has never voted
any ticket except that OF tho demo,
cratic party, but 1 denouuce tho said
"hoart Of oak" plank, as false and I'M
democratic, and it is not binding On
any mSmber of the party. The honest
impulse Of the people to free them.
selves, from the influence and power
of the saloons cannot be ohoked of
and umotherod by this silly enact
ment Of the convention OF Fort
Worth. The conflict is not ended, it
is irropressible, and J. predict that
prohibition OF tho liquor traffic will
eventually prevail, or else our gov
eminent will degenerate into a
corrupt machine, run and controlled
by the power OF the saloon,
This may seem m oxtrs7igant
affirmation, but il is we'll known, and
it cannot be denied that even now
several of the largest municipal gov
ernments Of this state are run in the
interest of and by the power of the
saloons. More Anon. Texan.
