Your correspondent was recently in re-
ceipt of a very interesting letter from M e.
Bemis who yet retains a pleasant and pay
ing position at Ess View, N. Y. He is yet
firm in the Democratic faith and contiden-
TALLY expects TO see Bryan elected next
month. One OF the theories OF his party in
this state he has however stamped as wrong
and writes, that whatever his views upon
the question OF high license may have been
in the past, that having since lived in New
York state and seen such laws in practical
operation he believes that il Vernon legis-
lators pass high license law of anything
approaching to it, they will make grave
mistake.
