DEMOCRATIC WARNING.
The People Want the Whisky
Question Settled Now. sd

The following sound advice is
given to the readers oil, the Lincoln,
heb, Democrat, by it's editor, who is
a Bourbon of Bourbons:
"The Democrats in Iowa made q
gallant fight, but lost ground. Not
much, but enough to show that the
fight against accomplished prohi-
bition Is futile. Next year they
will lose more ground unless there
is an awakening on the tariff ques-
ton, and prohibition is accepted
IS fixed thing not to be meddled
with. Handicapped by devotion
to whisky, Iowa Democrats could
not win. Whenever a solid citizen,
friendly TO the tariff reform, felt an
inclination to vote with the Demo-
crate, vision Of free whisky
popped up before him and he vot.
ed the Republican ticket straight.
With most men prohibition is a
close, tangible and present thing,
OF more Importance than the dis
tant and difficult tariff. The ma.
jority OF men can wait to adjust
the tariff, and regulate the rail
roads, but they want the whisky
question settled now. And the
Democrats, by their hostility to
accomplish and benefit prohibi-
ton, have made Republican rule
in Kansas perpetual-perpetual as
politics 90. 1t will take a genera
ton to outlive the fruits of past
folly in that State.
The Democrats of Nebraska are
following fast in the footsteps of
their brethren in Kansas and Iowa.
Unless they unload the whisky
burden they are doomed to the
same endless servitude of hopeless
minority as Democrats are now en-.
during in Kansas and Iowa." 81

Cremating Valuable Dogs.

Last week they had grand Dog
and Poultry Show at Columbus O.
On Thursday morning a disastrous
fire occurred, destroying nearly all
the valuable dogs, poultry and pig
con stock on exhibition, which in
the aggregate was valued at $780,
900. The Famous Gordon Setter,
Royal Duke, owned by Walter
Hammett, of Philadelphia, valued
at $4,000, broke his chain and got
out singed. The only other dogs
saved were the champion English
setter, Paul Gladstone, of Pittsburg,
value $4,000, and two Irish set
ersand a pointer belonging to resi-
dents of Colu mbus, which had been
taken home night. f- 81
Among the dogs burned were
Patti M, prize pointer bitch, of
Cleveland, which has taken prizes
at all the kennel shows, and was
valued at $4,000. In all, over
three hundred dogs of different breed
were lost, composing the finest dis
play ever made in Ohio. We are
by no means partial to doge, but
certainly are opposed to the crema-
ton process Of curtailing the Ca

TRECA4PAIGN or 1855.
The Impor tance Of q Large Pro
hihiti0n Vote. .

The year 1883 win be one of
transcendent Importance in the DO.
litical history of our country. The
leaders of the old political parties
are preparing for q life and death
struggle. The Democrats elected
the President in 1884, by a very
small margin and they have ma
jority in the lower house of Con.
gress. The Republicans hold the
Senate and the Supreme Court.
Thus one party has the executive
and lower house Of Congress, while
the other has the judiciary and
upper house of Congress. The bat
tie of next year must determine
the destiny of one Of the old par.
ties, and both will put forth their
strongest possible efforts for VIC
tory. = 49,
While the Prohibition party was
an important factor in the battle
OF 1884 it will be a much more i'm.
portant one in 1888. It will be
hated by both the old parties. In
the South it will be hated by the
Democratic leaders, and in the
North by the Republican leaders.
Every effort will be made to reduce
our vote to the minimum both in
the South and the North.
The success of the Prohibition
movement demanus that there shall
be q large vote next year. A large
increase in every State next year
will be of the utmost Importance,
as it will prove beyond q doubt
that the reform is taking deep
root in the hearts of all the people.
1t is much more important that
there shall be q general advance
throughout all the States, than
that there shall be q large advance
in special localities.
The management of our party in
every State should be wholly UNI
selfish, the great object being a
large increase in the vote. This
end should be steadily kept in view
in Ohio. Fifty thousand votes
next November should be the am
bition of our State Executive Com.
mittee and of every Prohibitionist
in Ohio. DIR. A. B. Leonard, in
