PROHIBITION fARTY,

October %, 1888.
The present campaign, though
characterized by less of personal
scandal than marked the campaign
of 1884, is nevertheless distinguish
&C. by the most desperate and un-
scrupulous methods known in par
ty warfare in the desire of each of
the old parties to defeat the other.
Lacking an abundance of daily
papers, and without facilities for
promptly and widely reaching the
people, we are compelled to antici.
pate the expected movements of
our opponents by placing Prohibi-
tionists on their guard concerning
late developments in the campaign.
AS evidence of the desperate and
interruptions processes resorted to
by the old parties, we need to call
attention to a few recently and
somewhat thoroughly exposed
frauds. The Republican National
Committee is sending out to Tenn
perance men, documents pleading
for their support on the ground
that the Republican party proposes
to protect the Home against the
Saloon.
Republicans for the Saloon.
From their headquarters at 81
Fifth Avenue, in this city, they are
also sending out vast quantities OF
documents, chiefly printed in the
German language, denouncing the
Democratic party as the friend of
Prohibition, and assuring the sup
porters of the saloons that their
safety lies in endorsing the Repub-
lican party and securing the defeat
of Democracy.
Let no man doubt the over
whelming proof already produced
to substantiate the foregoing state
ments. Allow nee to put this mat
ter in the first person, and over my
own name to say that I haze IN ma
possession such documents, coming d.
rectly from their National Head9uor-
ters, and supplied by the Supersmtemd-
emit of their German department.
'The Democrat" a Fraud.
Another fraudulent effort largely
directed against the Prohibition
party, is the paper known as the
Democrat, published at 20 Park
Row, in this city, and sent to both
Democrats and Prohibitionists in
all parts of the land. Published and
paid for by the Republican party,
it seeks to disgust Democrats with
their party by pleading for the
rankest Free Trade; and, what di-
rectly concerns us, it seeks to alien
ate Prohibitionists from the Prohi-
bitior party, by complimenting
the Prohibition party, praising the
Democratic National Committee for
printing and distributing Prohibi-
ton documents, endorsing the
Voice, and in general giving out
such utterances as would lead it's
unsophisticated readers to believe
that the Democratic party was
heartily and financially supporting
the Prohibition movement.
Do not be deceived by this Re-
publican fraud designed to secure
votes under false oretenses.
The Brewers Circular.
Issued from Hoboken Street, New
York "a street which, by the way,
does not EXIST, a supposed brewers
association aOhich has no existence
outside the Republican Committee. is
sending a confidential circular to
individual Prohibitionists, saying
that "we are interested in the in.
crease of your VOTE" x y x
land If you need funds to continue
your campaign, call on u.s." Let no
Prohibitionist receiving this circu.
lar be either alarmed or deceived.
No brewer will contribute to our
funds, and neither brewer nor bum.
