Then there came the next question ; What were they to do at the election. It wa« a question he proposed to himself three years ago. He was hauled over the coals and called all manner of aames, and suffered for bis ■ini he supposed. At the present time he had to vote either “ continuance— he would die first—(applause)—or ho had got to vote 4 reduction.” And what wa* the good of that—closing up the little miserable houses, and leaving the tied houses. He hsd come there that night because he had heard that there were no licenses in Linwood, and that an eff rt was being made to get them in* He would exhort them to keep it out. Let them remember that under the present system every hotel and open bar planted in their midst was doingd evil’s work ” (Loud applause.) It was decided to make every effort to gain redaction if not No-License at next election, so that at any rate one of the houees in New Brighton would be closed up, and there would be no danger of its transference to Linwood as was proposed.
