Some people uia; think that owing to the quietness the former leaders of the temperanci party that the temperance questioi will not be considered at all in till coming election, but that the ques tion will be ignored entirely. There fore, the friends of the teiuperanc? party will not take trouble or particular about paying their rate! on or before the 1st day of March, ui the law requires. Now let me state a few facts ant venture a suggestion towards remedy ing the trouble. The former leaden of the temperance party were ap pointed last year by a regular, organ iied temperance league as a com mittee to select a ticket to be kuowt as a "Temperance Ticket. Thii committee, utter consulerauie con sulfation in the committee room, de cided upon the ticket.

The commit then went to work to secure th( consent of those whose names hat been selected, which I assure was not an eusy task. Men offered excust after excuse, but after much hart pleading the ticket was finally mailt up and reported hack to the league, and was adopted by the same league At this juncture let me give one ex cuse so many offered for not wanting to go on the ticket, and I must con fess it was a good one. They said: "i would not object if it were not for the abuse that our own party heaped upon the councilmen when elected and who voted upon some question that was contrary to their views." A councilman ce nnot vote upon all tious to please all, theiefore he censured in no mild tones and abused in a shameful manner. Please take notice and give ever) mau the right to his opinion upon these questions when called upon ti vote in the council. Now, again, in explaining the situation in the las; campaign, 1 want to say that aftei the league had adopted the tickel and it made known, some of oui warm temperance friends who did no! attend any of the league meetings and therefore were not consulted heaped vengeance upon our headi for selecting men on the ticket whom thev did not like.

By their talk and denouncing these men no doubt the) got a few followers, and the eonse quence was that the temperance ques tion was defeated by the loss of out man on the temperance ticket. Sucl proceedings, and some other acts ii about the same keeping that havt taken place during the last year b) our cwu party friends, have disgust ed the former leaders, and thty desirt now not to he the recognized leaders but to be known as true Voters. Now the remedy I would siig gest is that these parties that had suci serious objections to the temperance ticket last year would produce a full fledged temperance ticket next week in the Register. and 1 will guarnn tee that the former leaders will vote for it without a scratch, and that il our people will see to having their head taxes paid in time we will elect the ticket. And if this is done there will be no need of the former cry thai the old ring, or the clique, or a cer tain few got up tiie any such remarks to be made, and you will find the "old ring" walkiug up tc polls with their head taxes paid and voting the straight temperance ticket as usual.

Now let me say in conclusion that I urge every temperance voter, and ev erv one that desires to see our town free from the rum traffic, to pay his head tax on or before the 1st of March. There will, no doubt, be a temperance ticket in the field, put in by some one, and you will have the pleasure and opportunity of voting for the ams. Do not depend upon the conn ty court. We have enough temper auca voters iu our own town to stop it iu our couticil, if our people will only vote the straight and solid ticket without scratching. Do not let your prejudices and personal dislikes keep you from votiug the solid ticket, but remember that a principle is iuvolved.

Hoping that a word to the wise is sufficient, I am one of the bo called former leaders. 8. S. THE MODERN INVALID Hus tastes, medicinally in keeping with other luxuries.
