THE TEETOTALLERS AND THE GENERAL ELECTION.
[To the Editor of the Daily Telegeaph.] Sir, —The paragraph on the above subject in your issue of the 12th instant is far from being: correct. You state there that Messrs Fulton and Barrou are the only total-abstainers who have been reelected. Jvow Mr Barron has been an obstacle of temperance legislation, and 1 am much mistaken if he is not a member of the firm of " Hunk?, Barron and C 0.," Rattray-street, Dunedin, who have done a brisk trade in alcoholic liquors for the last ten years to my knowledge. Dr. Wallisyou also class among temperance reformers, but thorough temperance men look upon him aa the opposite, and will be as satisfied at his defeat as at the reelection of Messrs Dick, Fulton, Allwrijiht. Driver, and J. Green. Although the Good Templars deeply regret the loss of Sir W. Fox and Mr Ormond, tiiey are cheered by the thought that several new temperauce men have been elected — notably Messrs Batbgate and Mr M. W. Green, the latter gentleman beinjr an officer of the Pioneer Ko. 2, 2693, Dunedin.-l am, &c, Otago. December 14, 1881.
