Ma EniToa: Senator-elect Quay is not asleep, but on tbe alert, and sounds the toc sin of alarm, or ratlier danger, in time to put every Republican on his guard. He agrees with Republicans generally tbat our State ticket is an exceptionally good one and de serves the unqualified support of every Re iuhlican. ret he also sees the need of active j work in evenr election district between this and the election. Iet us bare it. It is to be remembered that this is an off year" in politics, bettitle tiie well known fact that the whiskey men are op in arms against the " new license law," and will east their vote with tle whisker (any this fall. Siiould the IVnnocratif rty control tbe next Legislature they would not only repeal the " li itli license law " but tliev would also defeat tine submission of a constitutional amendment to tiie people inhibiting the manufacture and sale of spirituous and malt liquors within the Commonwealth. ". Tempera noe workers of all parties wilt find it to their interest to vote for the Re publican candidatea. Prohibition cam come through tliat party only. Tbe Prohibition party can never gain control of" rhe Iegisla ture. and tiie Democratic party and whiskey are inseparable. Let every Republican and every honest and true temperance worker be np and do ing, and wlien the b day of Xovember comes go to tiie polls and vote for Williams aud Hart. Remember w have the Demo crats, tbe whiskey men, and tiie Prohibition party to fight this fail. . Tbe Prohibition ar ty will work hand in glove with tbe whiskey men to defeat the only temperance party that can possibly bring about tbe submission of Constitutional Amendment to a vote of tbe profile. Tbe time has emne when tetn- .era new workers can show their colors. Tbnse who vote for the whiskey party this fall knowingly, and after the elect ion travel over tbe country snaking temperance speejeh ea, must not expect tbe people to believe that they are sincere Mack.
