ton in spots, would ii not be well to strength
en- the hands of these good men of the Repub-
Iican party who brave the opposition OF many
in their own anksl and encourage them to go
on to perfection in the good work just begun,
rather than furnish a club for the Democrats
to pound them over the head by voting a
strainght-out Prohibition ticket? We ask,
wouldn't this be well at the present junction
of temperance and Prohibition work in our
states-Honit0f.
We have thought over the whole ground
traversed in the editorial of the MONITOR,
from which we make the quotation above,
and after the most careful study of the en-
tire question we are firmly persuaded that
the way to success is bv clean-cut, straight
out Prohibition nominations. We know
that this plan will here and there through
ont u state work against some good men
who are placed in nomination by one OF the
old parties. But on this question two or
three things may be said
First. a few good men in the legislature
are powerless, as party measures are the
results of caucus agreements. suppose
ten good men are elected to the legislature,
what can they do for temperance if the
caucus decides against temperance legisla-
ton?
Again. we ask in all ~frankness. what can
the Republican party do for Prohibition
while there are so nan liquor men in it?
From 1865 to 1884 many temperance men
worked within the lines of the Republican
party, and during these nineteen years we
received nothing but empty promises; not
a single temperance measure WAS passed.
In 1884 more than 600o New Jersey Prohi-
bitionists voted for St. John. This caused
a remarkable uproar IN the Republican
party. We were abused without stint. and
charged with having set the aus of tenn
perance back twenty years. But as re-
suit of that vote tie cause of temperance
was brought to the front as never before.
In 1885 our vote went up TO about 1000,
and in 1886 to about 10000. Then the
leaders of the Republican party said,
Something must be done for the temper
ance people or they will all leave US.
The something that the party did was the
high-license l~ocal-option law. Thu it
will appear that as a separate party we Sc
cured some temperance legislation in two
years, while as temperance workers with
in the Republican party We received abso-
lutely nothing in nineteen years If we go
back to the Republican party we will sur
render all that we have gained; it will be
necessary for us to begin anew. A large
Prohibition vote isa power that will be
felt by the old parties, while temperance
men in the Republican party will have no
perceptible influence in moulding plans
that nave originated among anti-temper-
ance mcn.-ISmpsrance Gazette.

Is prohibition q good thing for the peo-
pie? Certainly not. Now look at it for
yourself. If prohibition be good for the
people, as claimed by its advocates, how
comes it hat every run soak, sucker and
seller oppose it? How comes it that every
scalawag, brewer. dead-beat and black
leg, with a few good men thrown in, howls
like a western cyclone every time its adop-
ton as a state amendment is proposed? II
a good thing why did the rum barons,
saloon keepers, horse jockeys, gamblers,
confidence men, and men of no confidence,
move Heaven and earth over in Pennsyl-
yania last week to CON pass its defeat?
1t cannot be a good thing or the paid as
sassins of Haddock and Gambrell would not
to-day be walking the green earth as free
men, while their victims, who were merely
trying to enforce a Law the people saw
proper to enact, sleep in premature and un-
timely graves. 1t canpot be a good thing
or its promoters would not be rotten-cgged,
burned out. and quietly put out of the
way" whenever or wherever so 'fresh" as
TO talk about enforcing it. 1t cannot be
a good thing, oil such a mild form of pro-
hibition as local option would not have
been fought tooth and ~toe-nail'' by the
ram hierarchy Of cur State last fall and its
defeat planned and brought about by the
same hierarchy 2 little later.
No, prohibition cannot be a good thing
for the people-if the rum drinker and
seller be the people.

many of you can certainly tell

Prohibition state Convention.

The Prohibition voters of the State of
New Jersey in the various counties, are re-
quested to meet in their townships and
wards, and choose delegates to their county
conventions. BY a resolution of the State
Central Committee it was requested of you
that in your county conventions delegates
be chosen to a state convention to be held
in the Grand Opera House at Asbury Park.
on Thursday, July 18th, ats o'clock, p. NJ.
and continue two days. Said convention is
for the purpose of nominating a candidate
for governor to be supported at the ensu-
ing election, and for such other business as
may be brought before it. At your county
conventions you will also choose three per-
sons to represent your county on the State
Central Committee.
The basis of representation in the State
convention, will be ono delegate for every
twenty votes or fractional part thereof,
cast for governor in 1886. The chairman
of each County Committee will promptly
attend to this matter, and it is requested
that -FOUR county conventions be held at
the earliest moment, and that a correct
list of delegates, duly authenticated, be
mailed to the secretary, at Bound Brook,
NJ j. This is very necessary as the con.
vention under the call will contain nearly a
thousand persons, and a complete list will
aid very materially the work of the conven-
ton. Signed,

\ few more '~'eye-openers" like that Of
the late Pennsylvania election will enable
the rank and file Of the Republican party
to see and admit, what the leaders have ali
along seen but would not admit, that theil
party as political organization is inimical
to the cause OF prohibition. We are not Of
the number who insist that because the
Republican legislature of Pennsylvania
gave the citizens Of that State the privilege
Of voting on a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the sale Of liquor, that the
party as per consequence were committed
to its support. Not at all. Neither do we
regard the so-called privilege of the legis-
lature as a privilege at all, but simply as
the discharge of a duty delegated them by
the people, whose servants they are.
Forthis reason we have condemned with
swift condemnation the action of the last
legislature of our State and the pig-headed.
ness of Senator Philip Baker in putting
themselves and himself, as representatives
of the people, above the will of the people.
If political reports en- all sides be true it
can't even be said with fairness that the
Republican legislature Of Pennsylvania
gave the people the chance to vote on the
amendmendment at the behest of the peo-
pie, but rather as a tub thrown 70 the pro-
hibition whale for the benefit of Republi-
can fishermen. The Republicans of Penn
sylyania could easily lave carried that

Tuesday, the 18th, had they been disposed
Had they made an issue oft, as they did the
tariff last fall, the amendment would have
come out with anywhere from 50, 600 to
100, 600 ahead. But it didn't come out
that way, did it? And it received a good
many thousand Democratic votes, didn't
it? And all the Prohibitionists? And the
Republicans didn't need a single vote
from either of the last named parties to
have carried the amendment, did they?
