TEMPERANCE CANDIDATES.

TEMPERANCE CANDIDATES.
We have known JosEPH HoxIE nearly twenty
wears. and do not remember that we ever
saw him drink Alcoholic liquors, and, though
he probably does drink sometimes, We are sure
no man ever saw him intoxicated, however
slightly. Can the intimate friends Of Joseph
c Morton say as much in his behalf
That Congress District is undoubtedly
Wing. and will elect Wing Member OF Con-
gress unless a part of its Wing votes are
thrown away. Every Wing vote cast Tor
Morton is simply consent TO the election OF
Tweed. who may very well offer TO pay Nor
tons election expenses in consideration OF the
aid and comfort the payee is rendering the
payer. But is there any sense, any reason
in Wings throwing away their votes on Morton
and so electing Tweed Who believes the
cause of Temperance is to be adyancedby such
a course
Asto the man Joe HOxie we could set forth
far more reasonable excuses for opposing him,
growing out of the Political complications ofthe
last four or FIVE years, than any of those who
are now making set at him. We may see hit
TO reckon mp old scores with him one OF these
DAYS. Just now, however, We can only see
veteran and Jealous Wings hard worker
for the Good Cause as long so we have had
vote-a capable, efficient. respectable citizen
opposed and in danger of being defeated by
prominent Member of our most corrupt and
brazen.faced Loco-Foco Common Council
We should feel ashamed evermore if such
man as Hoxie were defeated BY such man as
Tweed and we had not done our utmost 20
prevent it. Wings of the Eastern District
to throw away vote on Morton is to repay
with perfdy life of hard service in your cause
Poll every vote possible for JOSEPH HoxIE, the
only Wing who can possibly be elected
As to Members of Assembly, we say, Vote
for the regular Wing candidates where you con-
sistenty can, but not if that obllges yeu to vote
against the Maine Law Wherever there il a
Maine Law candidate, and only one of that sort,
we should vote for him whatever tears by 50
doing If the regular Wing candidate is for
the Maine Law, so much the bettcr-yote for
him. But our last Legislature ,oouid drive the
friends of the Maine Law to the wall-could
not submit the Maine question TO the People
so here We are. That Legislature might have
taken the question for ever out of politics, but
would not If the Assembly shall be thrown
away in consequence, on their heads be lit
But what sense is there in nominating Tenn
perance candidates for Assessors, COnstablss,
&c. We cannot perceive any, and do not recog-
nize any claim on the part of candidates NOM
mated by Temperance Alliances to Temper
ance votes, save as the cause of Temperance
is to be promoted by their election. Presum-
ing all the candidates for Judges to be men of
good habits We shall make up our ballot for
judges without respect to Temperance nOm-
nations, and 80 1--WE presume) will most others.
And even the running of Temperance cand-
dates for Assistant Aldermen strikes us as un-
wise, because untimely. Whenever we shall
have laws that, fairly enforced, will dethrone
the monster Rum, then it will be worth while

be attained in this direction until after the pas.
sage of the Maine Law. Let us do one thing
at a time
Generally, the running of Temperance and
Maine candidates for Assistant Aldermen can
have no other effect than the perpetuation of
the present corrupt sway over our City affairs.
Take the With Ward for an example, Will
liam d. Andrews, the Wing candidate for As
sistant, last year and this is a most exemplary
citizen, would make an excellent Councilman,
and is a consistent TettOtaler of long standing
We should have no hesitation in supporting
him unpledged, rather than waste vote on
Hewitt, aud thus aid to perpetuate the Tweed
ascendency. Sowe should do wherever men of
MI. Andrews stamp are presented 1t will
do TO trust such. Temperance men: be wise
