Temperance Party DEAR EXPOSITOR,-V,ver since lest day I have asked myself this c tion : eboeiinon "Did Mr. McLean gain anything • g endorsed by the Prohibition co ention which Met at Henna on Saterd y, May 17th?". Certainly the result as e •wn by the returning officer does not war nt one in thinking he did. Ueborne is town- ship of many temperance voters b t that township gave a majority against A r. Mo. Lean. Stanley has aleo many tem lorance men but they too forgot their prince les for 'Arty. Seaforth has temperance Toeies but did they vote for Mr. McLean? Had either of these townships given its Tory temper- ance vote to Mr. McLean he would have been elected by a big majority. Indeed, if Seaforth alone, had done so he would have been the representative of the ridieg, and i where should Mr.. McLean be better known than in Seaforth? If any people sho ld hide their heads at thia period in- the hi tory of the Province it is the Prohibitionists, who have not only acted as though they had not common senile or judgment given them but who have failed to see that they were being made the tools of the Conservative perty. The temperance party wanted 1Premier Ross to bring before the house a Straight prohibitory law, but he refused to do this unless a sufficient majority of the voters of the Province signified their wish ler this measure. The bill, according to thie opinion of the Premier, was passed lin the House and Mr. Ross was sustained i in it by his tearty. Mr. Whitney, the leader of the Opposition,- declared himself to be in direct opposition to this bill and not only tO it but towards any prohibitory measurea that might be brought before the house. , Every one knows how Mr. Marter;dthe Go serve- tive member, who voted in oppokii ion to his party because of his temperance princi• ples, was treated. When the elect en cam- paign was on conventions were 'eld all over the province by the temperanc lpeopie. Many of these bodies declared' themselves as satisfied with the Rose Governnient but many more declared the R088 Government must be overthrown. d here candidates Were put in the field where there ' were.alreadril Con- servative and Liberal candidates a: the Conservatives gained their point. In South Huron;there were the two Eitraight party candidates Mr. Eilber for the Con- servatives, and thr. MoLean;for the! Liber- als. I do not want to be personal but the readers of your paper kno* -that 14r.

Week Onl MEI% SEAFOR • supported any meas re in favor of that cause. More than this he was the andi- date for the party that has given t,he tem- perance people every advance they have gained in the last thirty years. Mr. L ilber doesnot profees to be a temperanc men and more than that he is supported by a party whose leader refused to ocuntenatice any prohibitory measure, and the , party members in the House, with one exception, followed their leader. Under these circum- stances, then, how in the name of °Ottoman sense could a temperance Tory refuse to vote for Mr. McLean? man who professee to make his politica sub ervientto his temper- ance principles, sir ply could not do so and at the same time be consistent. It is enough to dis use haziest people to to hear men at a chu oh meeting, or a tem- perawie gathering, ta king away about sup- porting an honest te Iperance man, no mat- ter what his politi s, and acclaiming on Christian oitizanship and on polling day walk deliberately int the booth and 'mark their ballots for an anti:temperance man and a party that will give them no co/ene- mies on temperance matters. It is tree the Tory temperance man saye Mr. Ross must be punished. For what ? . Not doing ex- actly as he thought iest, and he will pet out his Government, if he can, for one that will not even promise to consider his meas- ure ; but then, that party is his -the Con- servative party -and ;he forgets he ever said temperance muat °Om° before party. 1 suppose the temperance Reformere voted for Mr. McLean, they could hardly do any - thin elee unless they, too, wanted to punish Mr. Rote., Some of them did not sustain the Government candidate in other ridings. When the temperance people put up a candidate, ta e Reformer voted for him, the Conservative voted for his party. He sate how he could work things, hub the blind Reformer could not see that he was being eeeci for a purpose.- In West Huron, Mr. Mitchell, the Conservative candidate, complains that some of the temperance Reformers did not vote for him. There: was no straight temperance man in that Acting, as Mr. Mitchell had pledged himself to standby his party and also to stand by the temperance people. Let) us be thankful there were some Reformere that could s e a man could not serve two parties when t eee were working in direct opposition to each other. If the Gover ment was sustained, of course he could au port iany temperance measure. If the Government was noteus- tained, and he was • Working for that he would not be asked to vote for a temperance measure, and Oil' there were temperance Reformers that could not see it. Let es hope the temperance party will have acon- vention and conaider what they have done. There are many able men among them, one expects better things of them thau petty spite, and, perhaps, when they have found that their cause has had such a lest - back as will take it years to overcome, and when they consider how near they have come to putting oub their friend in power, and exchanging him ler one that only pleeeels while he uses them, perhape the mist may °tearaway from their rain& No Reformer wants to help en their referendum wheihthe temperance party usei it only to harraskr the Government, and it has clearly been shown there can never be a third party so loneas there is a temperance Tory. The Conserva- tive party knew how the temperance petty would vote, and that 't would get out of it all it needed without rorniaing any support in the Legielature. f any one takes the trouble to !inquire int the previous political leanings of the tempe muse leaders who are loudeet in their talk a out having no poli- ties and overthrowing the Rose Govertnrient, he will find, with ver few exceptions, that they have been ra id Conservativece. should not say "have been," but •‘1 are now." The Conservatives knew how ta), usa the Woman's l Christian Temperance Union and the temperance paper published during the election campaign' It seems a pity that an organization with euch a high ideal as that of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union should allow it elf to be the dupe of a political party. 4., I TEM:ERANCE REFORME.Li,.
