For IN. OLio Sta


L. w. HALL. Esq-Sir:-The recent defeat
of the Peoples Temperance ticket is charged by
many upon moderate mad incorporate drinkers,
or runamies, as they are sometimes called. But
others who have closely observed the secret, un-
hallowed and wicked influences that have been ar
rayed against the Peoples Ticket, bsievs it to
have been defeated by the prefsssrd friends of tenn
perance, some of whom occupy influential posi-
tions among the people.
That there desperate effort made by the
leaders ofthe Democracy against the Temperance
ticket, and that they deceived the people by their
faIsehoods and misrepresentation about Bunks,
Free Soitism, Whiggery, and many other equally
foreign questions that had no possible connection
with ths temperance question, to extent rarely
known in political contests, is not denied.
1t was expected that the political leaders aud
dsma gogues Of the opposition. would oppose the
Peoples Temperance Union Ticket with wick
| edness and desperation that could only be measur-
ed by their love Of ium, estimate of Office and po-
litlcal position.
1t was upor tho profassed friends OF Temper
| ance IF a parties. that the Peoples Ticket depen-
ded for support. Upon that support tho friends
of the Mune Law had right to depend With
that support, the ticket would have been trium-
phantly elected.
| But when in onr midst (among the pretended
friends of temperar are found premchers Of the
Gospel. who are often heard TO offer up IN pu6iic
their supplicatone in behalf Of the widow and the
orphan.) are professed friends of temperance, and
yet refuse to sign a cali for temperance conren-
ton, occupying, ourwArdiy negative, or at least
passive position it is not strange that there were
church members and others who were openly op-
posed to the peoples ticket. who pretend TO be
| temperance meu. Nor, with such influences, is
it mystery why the Peoples Temperance Tick
ct was defeated.

Why arc we Defeated.

The question is frequently asked why the Pso-
pies Temperance Ticket was defeated in this
county? The defeat is a morifying one. 1t is
not very agreeable satisfactory to Portage
County ranked among the anti Maine Law
ties. That there is substantial majority in tliis
County for Freedom and Temperance we enter
tain no doub.-but that majority failed of concen
tration in the late election. Various causes pFo-
duced the disastrous result.
In the first place the vote light one. The
aggregate Presidential vote last year was 4s19 -
The aggregate Governors vote this year is 4O56-
the Senatorial vote. the highest on the Peoples
Ticket, 4002-showing decrease OF 800. In that
500, is freedom and temperance sentiment enough,
if added to the Peoples vote. triumphantly to
carry this county. But unfortunately, distruat. in
difference, violent party prejudicss, and per
sonal feeling held back that 500 votes. But will
they always be thus held back!
Many temperance wings and some temperance
democrats voted for Lewis, and yet his vo:e fell
"a under Hale's vote.
The best test Of the relative vote of the three
parties, is probably that Of Secretary of State,
which vote discloses very singular state of facts.
