doubt, equally pleased to know; that the
banquet was conducted on strictly tempe-

in water, and not one drop of intoxicating
liquor ofany description was furnished
the guests. There was no "wining" about
it ; "Belshazzar" was not there'; no friend-
ly f'ence was required. Furthermore,
the speeches were just as temperate and.
as strictly in accordancewith truth as the
viands- werevoid of intoxicants: , I`may
here add that there were a goodly sprink-
ding' present of Conservatives; and their
families, who consider social morality of
major importance 'to party triumph,
and had supported Ross and Gibson on
the grounds that they both area staunch
temperance• advocates, while their •oppo-
nents were'not. These .persons saw no-
thing so objectionable in the speeches as;
to .rause them to .retire. Their ladies.
heard nothing, so vulgar as. to cause, them
