The election Is over. y very sad
fact ia view of tie returns, yet stern
truth hut ROW that it is over ANA
the fog lifted, it is time to exercise tile
hest judgment and make records of
which We need not be ashamed i'll the
Giture. But while there are ssiSuy
grave SUBJECTS upon which the Old ship
E-u t be. better kcelcd, it is not the
: ,t-ntion to discuss them now.
T!e object of this brief observation
81 to iFuiHt OUT two rocks ia the chan
5el upon. winch ne are liable to wreck.
Mess tie course is changed. In other
Words there is u " hole iOb of silly rot
WLIcH must bC abandoned by sore
e#ticd newspapers CT else tile party
y iI be injured 10y their insensuLe hOwis.
IuPSe papers must ut once abandon
tile mud-sHHgihg tactics adopted to-
ward the pTOhibs. 1t it be true that
The third party pTOhibs voted for the
opposition, we may cTiticise their
Judgment, but under the republican
Principle of free speech and ballot We
must allow them 10 act IS LlleF Choose.
How silly then IS the rot going the
rounds that because of the action of
these men in not voting with us, we
Syili at once abandon the prohibition
5iicI in Our stale platfOrmI Did amy
-nUc7eNer hear OF such uonseusef When
O We put the pruhibitOry plank in OuI
platform it was We believed ia it,
teuets. -And now because a few dis
sTUHtlgd spoilsmcu would throw it Out
Because a few fanatics vote with the
opposition. Mark on words right
hCle! Kansas is for prohibition; the
republican party is for prohibition
When the place hunters and spoilsmel
conclude 10 uIoY this plank out o
aur state platform, the republican par
ty will not only be defeated, but vii
10 literally wiped out of existence il
-JEis state.
AnGther fool cry must be abandOneI
A,y our party if we expect to win il
the next campaign. We must 1T
longer charge uuI HeighbOr5 and fellow
@ citizens with being c;tIamityites an,
UeG-hUnded aichis Is. We know hun
dreds OF these men personally, ever
D onS OF us. We know tile majority 0
o them to be fair average citizens of on
'btSJe; no jetler, no worse than tn
rank and hlC Of our own purity. The
differ from Us politically, which
then perfect right, guaranteed then
in lact 10y the chief principle of Gu
Party.
