Turning Society Upside nown.

1t is said that Prohibltionists are trying
to turn society upside down That is true.
Matters in society at present are not Just
right. The decent element in society is
underneath, the liquor element on top.
The Prohibitionists are getting the prohi-
bitlon lever IN position and piling up votes
on the end of it until they expect to turn
the whole thing over. This will bring the
liquor element underneath and the decent
folks on top. That is, sou see, we propose
to sit down On the saloon, and vet after
all the difference between us and the other
parties isn't 50 great as it might be. 1t is
only matter of one letter. We sit down
on the saloon and they sit down in the sa
loon. Keep your eyes on that distinction

James G. Blaine says his name will not
be presented to the Republican convention
rs a candidate for the Presidency. Then
his rght-hand man and bosom friend in
Augusta, Maine, says he didn't mean by
that that he wouldn't have it il it was
thrust upon him. We apprehend that
neither Mr. Blaine or his friend need take
much trouble to themselves about 1t. The
people of this big country have the decid-
ing vote and we believe they would only
say a little louder what they said in 1881
that they do not want James G. Blaine in
the White House.
