The 'political sit eation, rom a tem-

candidates pledged to the abolition ot
the bar, and, failing eatie a‘ction from
one !party or the other, to put a.11inde,
peadent, candidate into the field,
The meeting was held in. toe,' Carmel
Peesbyterian Church and 'was Presided
o r by Mr Johci Scott, of Exeter, mid
, ile the decision was unanimously
hached,there Were times when the con-
vention developed evidences of insacrif-
icing partisanship. On the otner hand
there were men of 'strong Conservative
tendencies who did not hesitate to pot
their temperance principles flet and
openly declare that they would vote
at the next election for the party that
was pledged to give them the ,reform
they all se imuch desired. .
• A rumor that Rev. E. Ge Powell of
Exeter was working to get an inde-
pendent nomination was evidently cir-
culated with a. view to injuring Mr:
Powell in his work as Field Secretary
ofl tae Dominion Alliance for the wnole
county, by imputing political motives
to *him, many, Conservatives, resenting
his outspoken ' sentiments regarding
Hot: 'Mr. Hanna. However, that. yarn
was set at rest 'by Mr. Powell at the
outset .de the meeting, 'whet -0)19a gave as
the ;Bole reason for calling the convent-
ion tah necessity of their considering
the sitziation, and said What he certain-
ly had tno ouch political 9.mbitioris. •
, Rev. Mr. Muir, oft the Dominion Al-
liance gave a vigorous reply .to those
who t. wanted temperance kept' out of
politica. It was absurd, he poipted out,
to keep talking and praying for some
legislation, and to refuse to take the
powee they- had in their own hands.
The principal impediment to the desire
for legislation was purely political. If
it- were possible. to havel a privet,. -bill
providing for the abolition of the bar,
one that would noLimperil the Govern-
ment, he believed there were many Con-
pervatives in the House Who -would/. -vote
for it. ".Yesein•aheir sleep," commented
someone.. • . '

the apeaker. "I mean a prevate bill,
but the trouble is 'any hill Would carry
a vote- of censure." He Td not favor
the formation of a third party. The
Only men who did( not want temperance
in politica were timid 'dens, the heel-
ers end the party bosseh. His advice
-was to look for re„ man in the political
,majarity to: pledge himself to -the ab-
olition of the bar, but ie they could
