THE CONTEST IN THE STATE.
But We are engaged not only in great national con-
test but It so happens that in this State the great
| issues of the Government and State policy also
to be settled this fall. (CheeIs.l The Republican
party convention at Saratoga in August laid down
its platform of the principles upon which 1t would
the Judgment Of the people in the coming nGs
stand the principles there enunciated i stand here

" '''' THE TEMPERANCE ISSUE
Let lis see Just where stand on this question.
The Republican party does not venture to dictate to the
conscience Of any mar but It does undertake to say
that the unrestricted salo Of liquor In any community
is great and growing evil. (Cheers) 1t does under
take 10 say that 10000 saloons in the State OF New
York are many than there ought to be- lCheers)
II does undertake to say that from 1900 TO 1000
saloons IN the city Of Brooklyn add much to tho cme
! misery and pa,perism of this city. This Increases
the cost Of government and adds to the taxation and
tie party demands that the fees for LIQUOR n
saloons. and al the time increase the revenue
In doing this the Republican party IS taking no
radical ground Il Is ,h no new deP nS rtd

The number q sd ons Of the lower order has grsay
creased In Pennsylvania the number of saloons has
been reduced full half, and the revenue derived from
that, the amount q crime and pauperism has been
greatly reduced. The number of arrests are growing

THE RUMsELLERs' CONSPIRACY.
But mot by another element in this contest.
All this State have been going 10 and fro for
the last two or thrco months organizing liquor
associations. For what purposes Read their trade
papers, and you will find out. They organized
they say, for sedcfence. They propose to prevent
any more such, legislation as that passed by the Re
have t se their o s During IN S s ssy
have been organized no laws inmical 10 their In
they propose to prevent any legislation upon this sub
They propose to raise vast sum- For any homes,
purpose in connection with the electon7 Do they
propose TO here upon this rostrum and argue
with you upon the desIrablity of leaving the legsla,
ton the liquor question where 1t is M, not al
ell. They tell you that they want Just and wise
legislation. But they pronounce against high license
They pronounce against local option. Thoy pro-
nounce against every proposition that we have sub
mlttcd upon this question, and they go further thar
that In their platform laid down al Buffalo
they declare they In favor Of license for six days
OF the week, from O'clock In tho morning TIL IL
o'clock next night, or twenty hours out Of twenty
four.
Then they say that for other hours than that and
for the sunday business they want to leave it to the
local authorities They want local option sabbath
selling, but not the question Of whether they shall
sell at all or not am willing TO leave the whole
question 10 the sober second thought Of the six
milliens OF people of this State. (Cheers.)
THE NEED OF ELECTORAL REFORM
There is another great reform TO which the Repub-
ncan party is pledged. which is second only to that
OF which have spoken-the reform of our electoral
system lChecrs.l The Republican party has never
