WHO DARE DISPUTE IT?

In the last issue of ths Rensselaer Republican is an article beaded “Personal Liberty in Politics.” Among many unanswerable?) things occurs the following: “Tbe personal history of each man on the Republican ticket may not show life-long sobriety, but the ticket REPRESENTS TEMPERANCE SENTIMENT and those who favor submission should vote it straight.” Next after this article comes repoit of Jasper County RepublicAn Central Committee. “In the absence of the chairman, M. F. Cbilcote, D. D. Redmond. President, F. W. Babcock was chosen Secre.ary.” Now who will call in question the sentiment of our Jasper County Republican ticket? controlled by a Cen tral Committee at whose head stand t.je names of such well-known temperance men. No longer doubt! bu? show “your political integrity.”— Would’nt you be a “weak” temperance mac, and a “doughface”, indeed, to show yourself so “non-compos” as to doubt that all the temperance sentiment is with the Republican party, and all the anti-temperance with the Democratic party? TEMPERANCE REPUBLICAN.
