DIR. e. F. Stewart appeared in our
election returns last week
as the saloon or anti-prohibition can
didate for Mayor. While he was
made such by the auti-temperanee ell
ement, such was not the case in fact,
or rather, by his consent. We felt
confident on election day when the
Dr's. virtues were howled into peoples
ears by saloon men, that there was !
some mistake about it-that he had
not consented to be run in that way.
but as be had left town early In the J
there was no way of correct
ng the mistake or setting him right
before many of his friends who were !
rom principle compelled to oppose ,
his election. And we went 10 press !
asst week before We could see the Dr.,
get the facts, and make the explana- !
ion which should have been made in J
connection with the announcement :
,f the result OF the election. DR..
Stewart did not want to be a candi- I
late for Mayor or any other Office !
but NUN Der OF his friends, amongst J
whom were some of the leading tenn
)erance men Of the city, writing and
igning q request to him for permis- =
ion to run him for Mayor, he con- 7
ented. This consent was given with
10 other thought or expectation, on
lis part, than that he would be the
andidate OF the temperance people
md the business portion of the city, /
nd that he would not be seriously 2
opposed by any other candidate. He
vas warranted in thus thinking on the T
round that he had been petitioned to g
un by several of the leading temper
nee men ofthe city, even Mr.. Rogers, +
Eho was finally elected, signed that g
'etitlon. This was the view the DR..
ad of the situation on the morning o
II the election when he was called t
ut of town to remain the entire day,
Innocent OF the shape af- Z
airs had taken-that he was being ig- f
lored by the prohibitionists and L
whooped up" by the saIoonists. I
That DR.. Stewart had been brought 3
mt by petition, or in any other way,
y temperance people, was not gener- {
lily known some that did know it Y
you'd not adopt him as their candi- q
ate, knowing as they did that he p
vas not prohibitionist. Hence q y
icket with the name of W. T. Rog- Y
rs on it was printed, without his ?
or consent, the prohibi- T.
ionists, nearly unanimously voted it, II
nd he was elected. But the DR.. in
lists that he was not the whisky f
His friends regret that by v
pressure Of froward circumstances q
le was placed in that attitude and 1
bey were compelled to regard him as Fl
uoh.
