The Recorder wishes 20 make prediction, and
thatls that Republican conventions In this state
will not hereafter 20 back on Republican issues
and Republican doctrines by attempting 70 pan
der TO supposed popular craze, like chat OF the
Peoples party. One such an experience as we
have had In 1890 ought TO last us for all time TO

only lost the elections but came near losing our
self respect -HoIion Recorder, Feb. 70, 1891
Here is a plain acknowledgement
that oil the declarations of Republi-
can conventions and Republican plat
forms favOring the reforms demanded
by the people were mere bypOCritical
pretenCes designed only to catch
votes. There was no sincerity be-
hind them. Since il is seen that the
people discerned and repudiated their
hypocrisy, they now regret that they
committed themselves to anything not
distinCtively Republican, that is not
distinctively plutOcratiC, and they
promise not TO do so again.

does not seem to sanction the sale of
liquor at the Chicago worlds fair, nor
does 1t require the existence of traffic
privileges to cover this fair land with
breweries, distilleries and saloons, which
are wrecking houes, breaking hearts and
grinding down souls into the mire of
w~retchedness and woe. The following
resolution was adopted after a lengthy
debate: That we consider it the duty of
all Temperance men to support candidates
for public Office who honestly pledge them
selves to labor for the enforcement of
Sunday laws closing liquor saloons OF that
day; that we deem it the manifest duty OF
every TEMPERANCE man to circumference
any candidate for public office who de-
clares himself or Is known to be commit
