CHAs. JASusON,
Sec. pro tenn.
RESOLVED, First-That the his
tory Of the republican party through
twenty-four years Of wise, judiciOus,
and prosperous rule; four years of
which was through one Of the most
terrible wars, with enemies within
and foes without, fully demonstrates
the ability of republicans to manage
the vast interests of this great and
growing government.
Second-That the cause of temper
ance as a social and moral reform, is
great and righteous cause, and is
in strict harmony with the pro-
gressive age i'm which we live.
Third-That we, as republicans,
believe that the theory of prohibition
is fallacious, that it is visionary and
impracticable as demonstrated in
the experimental states, and hereby
repudiate 1t AS a party principle, and
as antagonistic 10 individual liberty
and the constitution Of the United
States.
Fourth-That the policy of the
republican party, as maintained to-
ward the liquor traffic fully demon
strated in local option and high Ii.
cense, is conclusive evidence Of its
best intentions.
Fith-That we believe, that the
prohibition party is fOstered by
democratic influence, and pay and
thrown upon the republican party
with the avowed intention of dis .
rupting its ranks.
Sixth-That the organization of
the prohibition party will initiate .
toward the defeat of a republican
for president in the coming election,
thereby bringing financial depres-
sion and disaster upon the business
of the country. Therefore, while
we favor the cause Of temperance we
deprecate prohibition as third par
ty, rs a radical move and pledge
ourselves to wage an aggressive war
fare against any influence that has
for its object the triumph of Demo
cratic free trade principles, over the
aud we'll tried policy of
lwenty-four years ofrepuhlican rule.
Seventh-That the rule Of the
democratic party thus far, through
'leveland's administration, by his
ienunciatory tariff doctrine, and
his iudisposition to allow the public
rvenue appropriated throughout
he varied sections of country, to
AIRY ON public improvements,
hereby relieving financial
nllly demonstrates
lack ot craftsmanship, and de-
nands a change nom democratic to ,
rule. II
Eighth-rhst the appointment Of
.uch men as Lamar, 10 preside over
he highest tribunal in the gift Of
he pcople, and the appointment Of ,
'thcr corrupt and inefficient men to
" a stain upon the rccord Of
history.
