Prohibition Politics and Presidential Term Debate in 1888
The Freeport Daily Journal discusses third party prohibition gains and losses, argues it never elected lawmakers or carried states, and aided Democrats in New York and New Jersey. It weighs presidential term lengths, supports Grover Cleveland as a four year president, and questions eight year terms. It notes possible special Congress session after March 1889 to push tariff revision and Dakota admissions, with General Harrison likely to call one. It also includes commentary on Confederate parolees and adherence to U.S. law in the South, urging parolees to honor their commitments.
