Where Tho Wine and Spirit Gazette
Stands.

The New York Wine and Spirit Ga
zette is the acknowledged organ of the
liquor sellers. The Republicans Of New
York city have nominated reform"
candidate for mayor, and The Gazette
speaks of him as follows in its issue of
Oct. 12:
1--WE are glad to learn from publish
ed interviews in the daily papers that
Mr.. William l.. Strong, the candidate
for mayor of all the elements opposed
to Tammany Hall, is a man of liberal
views, having disposition to treat all
interests in our great cosmopolitan COM
munity with impartiality and perfect
fairness. His assurances seem to have
given entire satisfaction even to our
German fellow citizens, who are among
the most earnest advocates of personal
liberty. The Wine and Spirit Gazette
has already frequently pointed out the
fact that the mayor is powerless to
make or unmake laws He has merely
to do with their administration. But
we are assured that if elected mayor,
Mr.. Strong will not interpose the infiu
ence Of his Office and position against
any proper modification of the existing
excise laws that may be demanded by
public opinion and the best interests of
the city. Thus, then, the liquor trade has
reason to be satisfied with Mr.. Strong
as the candidate of the united opposi-
ton to Tammany Hall and its corrupt
methods"
The whisky trade is perfectly salts
fed with either the Republican or Dem
ocratio party, for no matter which
party is elected the rum interests are
safe in either case.
Reader, are you satisfied to vote the
same ticket?

A MAN CAN BE ON EITHER SIDE
EVERY PUBLIC QUESTION
AND STILL BE A CONSISTENT
REPUBLICAN, OR DEMOCRAT.
THERE MUST BE UNION.

w. Jennings Demorests Words of Wis
dom.
The liquor traffic is now intrenched
in politics, and it is there we must meet
it. So unless the people, in the majesty
of their political power, are aroused to
combine in one grand, united phalanx
of opposition and through the virtue
there is in the ballot hurl these auto
cratic despoilers, this piratical horde of
unscrupulous liquor dealers and their
sympathizers and abetters, into an abyss
of annihilation there is nothing left
but certain anarchy and destruction for
our country.
The moral revolution and the grand
results of prohibition can only be
brought about by the united effort Of
an earnest, determined people, with
their combined will and purpose, with
out compromise, concentrated and crys-
tallized into votes at the ballot box.
This makes an imperative necessity
for a distinctive Prohibition party-a
party composed Of conscientious and
determined voters-a party not only
combined to secure just law, but party
with moral and political power to en-
force the law for entire prohibition,
without compromise or Cancellation.

"That we favor an organization

We believe that the political aff1liation

personnel of their respective candidates,
supporting those whose declarations
show them to be enlisted in the cause of

Keep in mind the following from

ring in November, 1902, in which Of
four Prohibitionists residing in four
consecutive houses, three of them per-
mitted matters of business to deprive
them of their votes, although in each
case little forethought would have
enabled the voter to express himself at
the ballot box While such extreme
cases are rare, yet we lose heavily by
the multiplication of individual in
stances Let our voters whose duties de-
mand much absence from home so plan
their affairs as to have day off, if nec-
essary, on Nov 6. Let local committees
everywhere see to it that complete poll
lists are i'll the hands of competent work
ers at each voting place, and that every
Prohibitionist is brought to the ballot
box before the polls close.
There ought to be no difference about
a matter SO important.
What profit is it to win new converts,
if either they or the old liners neglect
citizens duty on election day? Surely
we have right to expect a large

Day by day it is becoming more and
more apparent that the democrati0

trade principles it aroused before tho
rebellion, and which it has so loudly
denied for years past. The following

show the force of the drift:
The free trade element in the house
is feeling pretty good over the presents
status of the tariff fight, which ia
