Democratic party, then Democrats hal right

| billion Democras who resented efforts at parti-
J san ostrac.sm in 1857 should OF ostraci.e Dem

( prohibition In 1857 The prohibition Democrat
! who votes against Roae Q. Mills because ofthat

hibisionist and not a Democrat. And such 8
voter is politically dishonest
II the Jefferson psper does not yet
comprehend the difference between q
ProhiJHtopiSt and s prohibition Democrat
it should consult and compare the vote
cast for Dohoney in 1886 and the vote
csst "tor the amendment" in 1887.
According to THE GAzETTE's concep-
ton OF partisan obligation, that would be
s very poor sort Of PF0hiGitionjst who
voted for Roger Q Mills in opposition to
the candidate of the ProhihtioniStS-ius
as Democrats are very poor sort of DEM
ecrsts who vote against Mr.. Mills becauSe
that gentleman differed with them Ia 1887
on question which thew themselves
CLAIMED to support as non partisan in
character.
THE GAZETTE recognizes Gao boes" In
the Democratic party or outside OF the
Democratic party. During the prohibit
ton CANVASS the voice OF this piper WAS
for honest, unyielding obedience to the
Democratic platform, which plainly de-
claTed that the question of prohibition
should not be made 8 partisan test, and
every prohibition Democrat justated
his SCtion by that plank and re-
sentec the efforts Of ultra ants
to deny them Democratlc Standing and
fidelity because they favored prohi-
bition. How Inconsistent in suca prohi-

in Chicago by Nathan Corwith, Jr. The
senior member Of the firm lives in New

collspse Of the firm was the refusal OF the
Onion Nationsl Bank OF Chicsgo to
further extend time on overdue drafts TO
the amounts of $685. This evening
the bank sued out attachments and
placed them il the Sherif's hands. The
