1S IT A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE 7
WHEN the temperance mus 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," he 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,
Si a man of principle.
Shortly afterwards the Conserva-
tive convention met at Smith's Hill,
and owing to the unwillingness of
Postmaster Mosso, of Auburn. to
immolate himself upon the altar of
his party, JAMIE MITCHELL was se-
lected to fit the occasion, and he ac•
cepted the Whitney policy, and the
Conservative convention accepted him
without any pledge that he would be
true to Toryism and WHITNEY in the
time 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-
peared before them, chaperoned by
WILLLIAM CAMPBELL. First the Whit-
ney candidate pleaded that his record
of thirty years in the temperance
ranks should be a sufficient guarantee
that he was of the real Stools Putts
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, "1
@hall 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
met" 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, but 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 .JAM[R
MITCHELL was through for the time
being with the prohibitionists, and at
once affiliated with his old political
associates. WILLIAM CAMPHELL, presi-
dent of the Goderich Conservative
association—who had, on behalf of
the Conservative party, protested
against MITCHELL'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 Jog BECK—
who makes no claim to be a pro-
hitiitioniet—at.o tools MtrcusLL ten.
der his wing, and was his guide,
philosopher and political friend in a
pilgrimage through the riding.. Thts
was s cage of interest, not principle.
JAMKE MlTCiuiLt. is out after vote)
and whether he getsethem by swallow-
ing a pledge which he never in
tends to carry out, or succeeds
through the canvassing powers and
genial ,lualitiee 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.
i1 the prohibitionists like that style
of doing business they are welcome to
it, hut honest )nen will prefer honest
methods in politics,and cannot but res
pest the candidate who will not bar
ter his politioal principles for voten,nor
,yell his birthright for a hoped-for
mea of pottage.

CHaLL in West Huron and McLssi 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
Wed Huron to Ruske the dicker with the
temperance executive!
— In the flood of election talk Mr. Mir.

enough to nay one little word against Mr.
WiterseY on the prohibition question.

there again as a WHITNEY candidate. Mr.
WHITELY 111.11 all sorte of eggs in his basket.
— It took JAMse MITCHELL a long time 10
make up his mind to sign the pledge. and
he did not do it until he stipulated tnat he
should reoeive the straight temperance
vote.
— We notice that thetemperancecandid:tte
in West Huron has got one good word
to ray for MARTI'', the former Tory chief
and present temperaire candidate in Korth
Toronto.
— The strange story of 1)r. JaKYII, and
Mr. HYps is discounted by the curious case
of the man who seeks election as a prohibi•
tionist and as the canoidate of an anti -pro•
hibition party.
—And now the WHITNEY candidate in
West Huron claims that the pledge to the
Alliance executive "really doesdt moan
anything,' and that he had to take it so
that "Grit votes might be obtainel."
— Temperance Liberal. should not forget
that HARRY Fiume, the Whitney anti
prohibition candidate in South Huron, was
Die sponsor of JAMss MirciegI.L, the alleged
prohibition candidate in West Huron.
— The alleged temperance candidate has
bean canvassing the riding, aided and as
listed by Major Jossru BMA, and some of
the electors have noticed that the Esta
part of the combination predominated in
the sanctum
— TI -ere is every reason to believe
that the fore ami aft candidata in West
Huron is likely to encounter exceedingly
stormy weather between now and election
day. It is hard for WHITNEY and prohibi
non to sail in the same boat.
—WII.,.IAMCAMPuLE,whoat the meeting
of the temperance executive said, "On be
half of the Conservative Association I ob ter( t
to Mr. MI•n'tlst.t'e signiug the temperance
pledge," is now working tooth and nail for
the mac who signed the pledge.
— The taking of the temperance pledge by
the Tory candidate in West Huron was not
a natter of principle. It was simply e
business deal to gel votes, and he would
not sign the document until he had tied up
the temperance executive to vote for him,

ing if you art over twenty-one years of age
and will take the trouble to register, if you

four days of next week is the time to regis-

— According to The Star and other Tory
organs Mr. WIIITNtr is still offering noth-
ing but "goal intentions." Comparing
this with the progreesire policy of the
Liberal party in the past and tor the future
the ('ooservative leader must think the else•
tom are to be caught with chaff.
