delegate voting in the negative:
Resolved. That the first concern of al, good gov
is the virtue and sobriey of the people and
the purity Of their homes, the Republican party
sympathizes with all wise and weldirected efforts for
the promotion of temperance and morality.
This is wise and timely resolution lt does
not commit the party, AS such, to any line Of
policy. but expresses its sympathy with the vir-
tue aud sobriety Of the people and the purity Of
