MAY 0, 190L IS ITA MATTER OF PRINCIPLE 7 WHEN the temperance mass meet- ing was held in Goderich about • month ago JAMES MITCHELL was one of the orators, and told the audience that he was glad to stand upon the temperance platform — "that good old platform," be called it—that he had stood upon for some thirty years. He was applauded to the echo, and looked upon with pride by his hearers, as a man of principle. Shortly afterwards the Conserva- tive convention met at Smith's Hill, and owing to the unwillingness of Postmaster MURRo, of Auburn. to immolate himself upon the altar of his party, JAMES MITCHRLL was se- lected to fit the occssion, and he ac• copied the Whitney policy, and the Conseryative convention accepted him without any pledge that he would be true to Toryism and WIIITxIY in the fitime—to come. They were sure of him —a pledge was not needed. Afterwards the executive of the riding temperance people met at Goderich, and JAMES MITCHELL ap- peered before them, chaperoned by WILLLIAM COMPBELL. First the Whit- ney candidate pleaded that his record of thirty years in the temperance ranks should be a sufficient guarantee that be was of the real Strom PURR variety of prohibitionists, and when to that little story a deaf ear was turned to by the executive he began to dick- er with them like a hukster at a fair. "If 1 take that pledge," said he, "I shall lose a lot of votes, and how am I to be compensated 1" " It I sign that pledge will you sign one to vote for me t" And so on, and so on. A man of principle, who believed he was right, would have signed the document at once or have refused to do so, hut this prohibitionist of thirty years' standing was fishing for votes, and knowing that there were sixteen members of the executive ab the meet- ing that day he strove to work them in on his line in the ratio of 16 to 1. After completing his deal JAMIA MITCHELL was through for the time being with the prohibitionists, and at once affiliated with his old political associates. WILLIAM CAMPBELL, presi- dent of the Goderich Conservative association—who had, on behalf of the Conservative party, protested against MercIRLt's signing the pro- hibitionist pledge—again took the candidate to his bosom, and congratu- lated him upon the manner in which be had pulled the wool over the eyes of the executive. Major J••E Bumf— who makes no claim to be a pro. hibitioni t -also took Mtrcnai. un- der his wing, and was his guide, philosopher and political friend in a pilgrimage through the riding. This was a case of interest, not principle. JAMES MITCIIRLI. it out after yotei and whether he getsathem by swallow- ing a pledge which he never in tends to carry out, or succeeds through the canvassing powers and genial qualities of Major BECK amongst the hotel men, he cares not. All is grist that comes to his mill and any old vote is good enough for him. if the prohibitionists like that style of doing business they are welcome to It, but honest men will prefer honest methods in politics,and cannot but Yea pact the candidate who will not bar ter his political prindiples for voteo,nor sell his birthright for a hoped-for mea of pottage. cum', in West Huron and McLu4 in South Huron, the solid conservatives ob- jected to carrying out the tail end of the proposition. - Was it principle or self-interest that caused the "double header" candidate in West Huron to make the dicker with the temperance executive! -In the flood ot election talk Mr. MIT- (HILt'a paper, The Star, cannot stop long enough to say one little word against Mr. WHITNEY on the prohibition question.
