breach is the iaul; oi Mr. Flanders and his
supporters. Before having This city. OF
his trip to the Sound, Mr.. Flaud rs was
initiated into the Temperance ordcr Of Good
Templa,s, at sptcia! meeting called for
the purI osc. Whether he intended 10 use
his connection with that highly rcspccta-
bic and influential order to promote his
political success, let subsequent facts de-
ic, mine. Before his nomination. during
the convention, and up to the day when he
united with the &c, Templars, Mr.. Flan-
dcrs was known as liberal patron of
drinking saloons and Wholesale dealer
in liquors. Immediately following his con-
nccion with that order, the Olympia Tri-
bunc, the leading organ Of the Radical
party in Washington Territory. was liter.
ally filled with illusions to "whisky." "old
Bourbon" ETC., in connection with the
name of tho Democratic candidate; the
evident purpose Of which was to represent
! Mr.. Flanders by innuendo. as the temper
ancc candidate. The temperance dodge
has been abandoned by Mr.. Flanders and
his friends, undoubtedly for the reason that
they were making no political capital there
Ly. A gentleman-of undoubtcd veracity.
writing us from Olympia. asks if it is true
that Mr.. Flanders joined the Good Tenn
plars before leaving here and says, "he now
takes his regular drinks and his friends
deny that hc is n member of the ordc.." "
This proves conclusively that his object
! in joining the Good Temp!ars was political,
and that he disrcgards his oath and brings
contempt upon tn. order where the whisky
influence is in the ascendant. What faith
can people put in the promises and pledges
of u man who holds his moral obligations
50 cheeply as to be put on or put off as his
personal interests may dictate. Mr.. Clark
is not a total abstinancc nor al ia'cmp"r-
ate man. His habits are unqucs'ionably
rs good as those of Mr.. Flanders; Int he
is 10 hypocritc, protesting one thing and
prac,icing the reverse. We do not charge
Mr.. Flanders with intcmperancc, nor mean
to insinuate that his habits unfit him for
the duties of the position to which he as
pircs; but we do charge him with seeking
success by false and hypocritical pretenc.s
dishonorable alike morally aud politically
and with bringing dishonor upon a tenn
pcrance' organization by attempting to
prostitute it to his partizan purposes"

As an original and independent PROPOSE
