Temperance Candidates,

To The Editor Of The Tribune;
Will you allow me a small space in your
columns this morning | wish to say few
words to Temperance Wings in reference to
this days canvass would say in the outset
that the writer is and has been for long time
a h0ronghg0ing Temperance man-that he has
labOred with all his strength aud ability in the
way of writing and speaking, to advance it's in
feress and has been connected with almost every Asso
citation to accom- fish its objects. Such being the fact
the writer cannot consistently justly be charged with
hostility TO cause which receives large share of his
energies and undimini.hed support But notwlthstand
Ing this he is Wig and has also devoted portion
OF his ability TO advance the noble Wing cause The
writer and his fellow Temperance Wings will be called
upon to-day to support candidates who claim their suf
frsge on the ground that they fully and entirely de-
voted to the advancement Of the Temperance couse.
However good and cuff lent such claim may be ia
i,sef seems to me that Temperance Wigs ought to
take O things into consideration before ting their
votes for candidates solely the ground that they are
7tmpcronce Now some and = majority OF these
candidates are Loco Focos and while they may possibly
carly out the wishes Of their Temperance friends, in
some Instance on every question of difference tween
The two parties they viii be found in deadly hostility to
every Wing measure. In voting nor Members OF ~
semby for nttnce, there are many questions oil vta
interest TO the Wings which ought not TO be forgotten
ard he nee they should hesitate before casting their votes
for a IMAM simply and solely on the ground OF lem
perrnce ,,.,,
Take another view of the matter Whist Wing don't
know that Loco Foeo Temperance men Will as general
thing support their oER regular nominations VIII
many OF them be caught voting for Temperance
Whigi Far 'front.' In many Wards II IL certain that
the Temperance movement Is mere ruse OF the Loco
Focos TO draw OF as many Of the Wings as possible
from the support of their candidates. and thereby
directly and the elecii OF the LocoFocos 10 office
and when ia Office they very easily tTRa their pro
misses and whcie Temperance then 1t is also known
Hat many OF the wiepullers in the Temperance ranks
are Loco-Fcco rtMmies Can Temperanccmen be duped
any longcri Why not look 10 things just they are
The candidate in the nth Ward, on the Temperance
Ticket is rank Loco-F0co, and as Significant iaS
The fac with his name Inscribed thereon may be seen
.foaripe from Hotel in that Ward Let Temperance
Wings sssst in eleciing him 10 the Assembly and do
they suppose that he will he anything but LocoFoco
Trust him NOT In the Why cen iiAte you can Teposs
confidence though he Is not bound by pledges lie VIII
do what every good Wing do, and support at the
same time, every Wing Interest Fellow Temperance
Wigs let us act wisely in this matter, and like men,
and not bring reproach upon the cause we love. "

Mr. CHAPINS SPEEcH.-One OF the most
enthusiastic Of Temperance meetings was held on Fri
day evening in the City Alliance Tent in Eighth ay,

ting from 900 to 500 persons and then the immense
area more than 90 feet square was so closely packed
with men standing that almost impossible for any
one to crowd through The great subject Of discussion
the Maine Law-the means to obtain and the hope to
enioic 1.-THE daring attempt to burn the Tent on the
previous evening and the near approach othe elections,
were enough to render any such meeting enthusiastic.
But the great attraction excellence and power OF the
meeting consisted in the eloquent address Of Rev.

The Men of California.

Mr. Bates, formerly editor of The Detroit Ad
rser write home that there can be reasonable doubt
that California will vote for Scott In describing sOmep
lcu meetings he says, that in his opinion no State in
the Union has greater proportion Of most excellent
learned and classical public speakers than California
Underneath the toughest exterior, under long beard',
dirty shirts and hats that would brighten people, you
will find familiar with the classics both ancient
and mCdeIn the bOysa at EtOn Cambridge or Yale.
Where such as Gen. James Wilson has many
equals few superiors he hes anywhere)you can imIg
inc what treat these gatherings must be- large
proportion Of the miners dashing and elegant young
men from the South, Kentucky, Tennessee Louisiana,
North Carolina, who having participated IN the Mexican
war shared in the pers and participated in the gones
OF Gen Scott, naturally enough fall in at the word
Nearly all these gentlemen crossed the Plains from the
ondness for danger and excitement that led them
to Mexico, and while you find the garb and habilmcns
Of the mountain trapper, you behold in the wcarer
combination of boldnoss and genteness, of outward
roughness and inward refinement of love for wild life,
yet devoted attachment to books which is As strange
il il interesting In all our crowds you will meet
with men in the common garb of miner whose man
ners and whose minds and cultivation would add bril-
lancy TO the accomplished saloons of country.
AS cOnvcraonsts and popular speakers they far excel
Northern and Western men, and have heard under
a rude conversations between them that our pro
feeeore III the lecture of the colleges might well

We ask every workman and mechanic to
read the above and then to answer TO himself
the question" Is it not true ?" II true, let
him next answer to himself the question
Can honestly vote for the LOcoFOco candi
date for the Presidency or for Members of
Congress? We say honestly, because, al
though for the sake of party he may be dis
posed TO endure for himself the loss resulting
from low wages, he cannot honestly act in
any manner tending to produce such loss
to others. He knows that Messrs. Pierce,
King, Walbridge & Co. hold to the doctrine
of buying in the cheapest market, be the con-
sequences what they may to their fellow-citi-
zens-tO the very men who vote for them.
He knows that they hold it to be an act Of duty
to buy foreign hat for $4 80, with perfect
knowledge that the American halter cannot
pay fair wages to his workmen and sell a SINH
lar one for less than S.. He knows, too, that
they would deem it contrary to sound principle
topay Sc for an American pair of boots when
they could have French pair for So, even
though they know that to enable the Ameri-
can bOotmaker to sell at similar prices he must
80 far reduce the wages of his wOrkmen as to
deprive them of the power of feeding and
clothing their wives and their children. Can
he then honestly vote for such menl
We hope that every laborer and every me-
chanic will carefully reflect upon these things
before deciding how they will cast their votes.
We hope they will answer to themselves the
question, Is THE DEMocRATIo PARTY PLACE
