Dunn was uwitetl to speak, but he had no experience to ire. He had been a member of the counci for four years and temperance had never been discussed in it. He was, therefore. not inclined to give his opinion until it was needed. He would ad- vance the public interests to the best of his ability, but if the temperance peo le nomi- noted him as their champion then e might spee:,li1ut not till then.

He did so. but it fell likea wet blanket on the company. He denounced the Scott not and declared that the temper- ance movement hri retrograde}! during the past twenty years. He had trait-lied some, and if the sorry spectacles seen in Scott act towns were to be introduced into Kingston he would mourn the fact. He protested that the temperance party was always ex- treme, end no laws they made could he worked pronerly. He saw no reason why men should not have liquor if nature de- manded it. He ictured the Scott act as it now stood, and w en he asked how a man was tnsecure liquor that he needed as medicine, someone said. Do without." There was laughter, and Mr. Shaw jumped u 11 those who would_ snatch that away w nich would do good and save life. This showed what kind of men they were. He was favorable to tem rance. favorableto laws that were equita lo and just, and to show his spirit was willing to stand by W. p R. Mclioeaie as the temperance candidate.
