Rdsoleed, That the platform of the National
Prohibition party meets our entire approval
and endorsement.
2-That we hereby endorse our nominees for
President and Vice President, General Clin-
ton i. Fisk, the soldier with untarnished
name, the Christian at work, and the philan-
thropist always in the front in deeds ofcharity
and DR.. John n. Brooks, a man of principle
and power. Also our candidate for Congress,
VIM. II. Nicholson, who stands a man among
men, and to our candidate for Assembly we
pledge our loyal support.
3-That the tariff issue, which seems to be
the fight between Republieansand Democrats,
is a war of words and not of facts or priEci-
pies, both parties being divided on the sub
ject among themselves.
4-That we see in the present aspect of tenn
perunce work reason for renewed zeal and ac-
tivity in the Prohibition ranks for straight
out prohibition.
5-That While we recognize whatever there
may be of good in the Local Option law and
cheerfully gave and now give our aid in the
carrying out of its provisions, we fail to see
any reason for the abandonment of our work
for prohibition on Prohibition party lines, and
we hold that it is the duty of all true Prohibit
tionists to stand by Prohibition principles,
and support only candidates who stand
squarely upon the Prohibition platform.
IT no party that on any pretense or in
any degree stands committed to license, high
orIow, has any just claim to the suffrage OF
temperance votes.
