THE HIGH.LICENSE QUESTION.
As the Democrats will cast themselves into he
arms Of the lquordealcrs there Is strong move
ment among the delegates TO the Republican State
Convention 10 adopt high-license act In taking
this step the Republican delegates would only be
following the example Of the Republican members
Of the Legislature. Two years ago the Crosby High
License bill applying only to New-York City, was
passed by the Republican Legislature and vetoed
by Governor Hill good many Republicans think
that political mistake of considerable magnitude
was mado the succeeding fall, when the action Of
The Republican Legislature in passing the High ,
|
party platform put forth by the Republican State
Convention. There dispute about tho mean
Ing Of the plank which deprived the Republican
party Of the advantage it would have derived If 1t
had been beyond question one approving high license
But, nevertheless. when the Legislature Of 1858 met
was evident that there considerable increase
II hghlicensc sentiment among the Republican :
MEMBERS In 1857 they could not make up their u
minds TO pass high-license law applicable to the 7
ntire State and they limited 1t to New-YOrk Yet ,
n 1888 they almost unanimously favored high .
icense law covering the whole State. and showed p
heir sincerity by passing bill with that provision.

LET THE WEIGHTS BE RAISED. tC
Here and there about the state there is considerable

rarely had man In the House OF REPRESENTATIVES
