' inst. lias just reached me in which
1 yon ask my views in brief ns to what
should ho the uction of the next Dent
ocratio State convention, in order to
■ hurmonir- and unify the Democrats
<d lexns. My answer is that we
should leave the question us to the
liquor ti'iillic w hore it was iell by the
State Democratic convention ol lust
year. I ho inaj rity aguinst Slate
\ prohibition in the form it was sub-
! mitted is so largo that it would lie
I unwise, for some time at least, to re-
submit t- e question to the people.
: Audit would be equally unwise for
the next convention to adopt a reso-
lution ugainst prohibition, in view ol
Die large Democratic vote polled lor
it ut the recent election.
In us much as the last Slate con-
vention treated the subject as non-
partisan and us our Democratic gov-
ernor recommended the submission
ot the question to a vote of the peo-
ple. mol as our Democratic legisla-
ture voted in subm t the question to
Die people as a tion-purilaan qites
lion, at u time when no other than
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution were to he voted on, and
that it was known before these
things occutrod that Detnoeruis
were divided in opinion on thi- uucu
lion, and as this action was hud to
test the question ol prohibition, nnd
at the saute nnd to preserve the
unity and hai mony of the Detnocrut
ic party, good faith und common
lairnos- requires that the support of
or opposition to prohibition should
not be mado a u-sl to purty lealty.
It cannot ho presumed that the
State Democratic convention of last
year, Gov. Ross and the Stut« legis-
lature acted on this subject with a
view to entrap Democrats who be-
lieved in their good faith, so as Id
secure an opportunity to read Do ip,
om ol the Democratic parly, or that
they intended by tbeir utiion to dis-
rupt the party. A c must
