Gen. Fiske, in his letter of acceptance
of the prohibition party nomination, says
the revenue derived from liquors should
be foresworn, not as an alternative, for
the sake of protective tariff, but pos
itvely for the protection of home. Thus
it is observed that he declares for remov-
al of the government internal revenue
tax from whskcy. Why do not our Dem
ocratic organs denounce the Prohibition
party as a Free Whskey party? Evident
ly they regard it as an ally and do not
care to fight it with the same weapons
that they do the Republican party, VIZ;
falsehoods and misrepresentation.

The REPORTER has not thought it bes
to use the names in public print of thu
many farmers IN the county that have
given assurances that they were leaving
or had left the Democratic party, and ha,
only spoken of the fact in general way
without particularizing, in order to save
them from the whipping in process that
their former party friends will visit upon
them to keep them within democratic
traces. There are lots of them this year
and there are many more who will come
"half way over and refrain from voting.
