The placing OF . National Prohibition
ticket in the q I'D ia nothing more or
less than an adjunct or side show In the
Interest OF the Democratic party wha.-
ever votes this ticket gets dstrAots from
the Republican ticket and adds 70 the
Democratic ticket. The saloon element
Of this county is now, and always has
been, solid for the Democratic party. II
ls q Well-established fact, upcontro-
verted and unoontroVerEAble, that the
morality, sobriety, intelligeDea and
business enterprises Of the United
States arc - ten to one found in the
citizens Of this country Who support
the principles Of the Republican party,
end they deposit their ballots for All
great N oral reforms, in addition to the
great principle of protection to Ameri-
cAn inc custtes Consequently every
m N who deposits his vote for the
! National Prohibition candidates is
either deeignedly or iRnorantly aiding
and abettlug the bRse element Of So
ciety; every vote oAst for the Prohibi-
zion electors ls q vote cast In favor Of
the salOon element, and In opposition 10
protection OF American labor.
The leaders In the movement know
full we'll that they can accomplish moth
log 10 national contest that will I'D
vance the interest Of the principles Of
Prohibition, or In prev, n ling the maRu
iscture and sale Of intoK loatng liquors
fhoy simply hold the position ~ the
dog In the manReF, who could not eat
ta himself but was tr Ing TO prevent
the OK from eating the food which was
designed for his sustenaDoe.
There is not enc Of those Prohibition
fanatics but knows full we'll that the
D imocrAtio party Of the country cAters
o the saloon element of society, and
That the Prohibition party 10 REGARDED
by the Democrats as their ally In trying
TO overthrow the great Republican party
Of thts oonnt,y. The Democratic organs
u this country openly declare that they
expect to elect Grover Cleveland BY
the aid Of the Prohibition adjunct. 10
mskiug their estimates in the so-oAlled
doubtful ktAtes 10 the North, they state
thAt the Prohibition votes In such states
will be in excess OF the votes cast for
st. John In 1854, and that the increased
vote will come from the Republican
party, which will insure the election OF
Cleveland In 1888 Does not this show
p Ainly that their only hope for electinR
Cleveland is to induce Republicans to
vote for Fisk2
