LIQUOR MEMS SIDE OF IT.
Political AmiiatioD with Only Those
who FAVOR Peraonal Liberty.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 16, 1S95.-The Ma
tioaal Liquor Dealers. in convention in
this City, This morning adopted resolu-
ton declaring that they are engaged in
a legitimate trade from which a larger
revenue is exacted than any other bust
ness in the United States, and such being
the fact they insist that all citizens are
personal freedom consistent With good
government. The belief Is expressed
that the public demand the existence of
the saloon because it is a public neces-
sity authorized by legislative enactments
and in their opinion the suppression of
the leaGtimate saloon tends to degenerate
the traffic, and society r~etaiiates by sup
which not only debauch the morals of
the community but deprive the nation
and state of revenue.
While no a~fI1iation with any political
party is c-ountenanced, al. political events
will be watched and only those candi-
themselves in favor of personal liberty.
and the strength of the Organization viii
be thrown against any candidate who
caters to the intolerant or fanatieal
They demand from national and local
authorities an equitable regulation of the
retail liquor traffic upon a basis which
accords to them thes same rights as those
engaged in any other legitimate trade,
and they protest against sumptuary leg
islation.
The organization is pledged to resist
all law-making powers attempting to
levy unequal tax or fee on one class of
business and all Illicit and ~disreputable
resorts are denounced because they
propagate drunkenness and debauchery
among the youth of the community,
desecrate the Sabbath and cast odium
on the legitimate trade"

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 1895.-Three
massive flag stones in front of Charles
