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.
P. 1) MLCALLUIe, the former P. 1'. A. re-
presentative of East Lembton, is running
there again u a WHITNEY candidate. Mr.
W'IIITNEy hu all sorts ot eggs in his basket.
—It took JAMas MITCHILL al long time t0
make up his mind to sign the pledge. and
he did not do it until he stipulated that he
should receive the straight temperance
vote. - — - -
- We entice that thetemperanee candidate
in Fest Huron has got one good word
to say for Meerut, the former Tory chief
and present temperatrs candidate ill North
Toronto.
- The strange story of Dr. JerYia, and
Mr. HYDE is discounted by the curious case
of the man who seeks election as a prohibi.
tionist and u the canoidate of an anti -pro.
hibition party,
-Anil now the W'H1rNkx candidate in
West lluron claims that the pledge to the
Alliance executive "really deem t mean
anything," and that he bad to take ft so
that "Grit votes_ might be obtained."
-Temperance Liberals should not forget
that HARRY EILREI, the Whitney anti
prohibition-t,.ndi late in South Huron, was
the sponsor of .1 AM Ea MITCHELL, the alleged
prohibition candidate in Wes% Huron.

— Ttere is every reason to believe
that the fore and aft candidate in West

stormy weather between now and election
