The opposite principle is represented by Hos,rTo

These gentlemen occupy substantially the sane posi-
top-that of opposition TO the great measure ie-

Mr. ULJ.ASs 8 gentleman Of considerable abili-

Temperance Society Association, of any same
kizd or degree, has he ever been a member or with
which he has in any manner Identified hnselff When
has he ever declared himself in public or in private
ia Gror Of the prohibition OF the liquor traffic. The
true TO these questions must satisfy all candid
minds that Mr.. ULLNAsS,s anteoedents are not such
as 10 entitle him TO the sDreges OF Temperance
But even on the supposition that they are sa,isac

the Temperance cause in its darkest hour-hss de.
voted to it time, money and intuence-and hestated
not while yet the idea Of prohibition wa, unpopular,
TO commit himself to il fully and unreseryedly simply
because he believed it TO be rghf To desert such
man at such crisis would be virtual betrayal OF
the interests Of prohibition and premium, not to
life Of devotion TO great principle, but to lifelong
indifference, not to say practical opposition, to that
principle Surely Temperance men will not so wrong
themselves and the cause they love as to withdraw
their support in the very crsts.hOur of that cause
from its recognized champion We would do no in
justice to MIR. Ullmarn, shall we eau in question

nominated him.
But we cannot shut our eyes 10 the tact that the OPP
