Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1882 — THE NAKED ISSUE [ARTICLE]

THE NAKED ISSUE

Prohibition is not the question nor is female suffrage the issue The simple question and the simple issue before the people now i this: Shall the admendments be 0 submitted for approval or rejection at a special election?” In other words, bhall the majority rule? Shall the people have a voice in this matter, or shall the liquor sellers of Indiana— purse-proud on ill gotten gains, (the price of blood, of sorrow, and of shame,) dictate to the people with all the old-time arrogance of the slave power. This is the exact size of it. This is what the Tippecanoe county Democratic platform says in plain English, and this is wharf; the nomination of Francis Johnsou and the rest implies. This is why Prosecutor Woods and Representative Oglesbey declined.— LaFayette Courier

Don’t fail to notice the announcements of the republican meeting in another column. Col. DeMotte speaks at the court house next Wednesday evening. Let him have a large audience by all means. Major J* W. Gordan who will speak at the court house on Friday evening of next week is one of the best political orations in the state, and is specially strong on the amendments question.
