Albany, March 11th, 73.
The New Northirett in its last
issue seems to have had a special de
sire to give the Albany delegation
to the Temperance Alliance a de
nunciation through its columns for
being among the so-called se
eders, and as everything that is
said through the columns of mot
ot the papers seem to have the
same tendency in denouncing those
parties who withdrew from the Al
liance, all we desire is to be dis
tinctly understood in this matter.
Most people look at the mere ac
tion and judge from that without
stopping to inquire into the motives
that prompted the action. The
Nea Northwest says that this "ele
ment desired to show the whisky
ring how not to do it." We do not
know that any whisky ring was
represented there, but taking the
New Northwest who professes to
know all about that element of the
Alliance for authority, that there
was such a ring represented there, it
certainly looks as though its inter
est was on the side of the Nn"
Nortkteest from the fact that the
ring did not want such an organiza
tion as a Temperance Alliance and,
profiting by the experience of last
year, they knew that if its editor,
Mrs. A. J. Duniway, could be
forced upon that Alliance, its objects
in a great measure were defeated,
which was just what they wanted,
and by the assistance of outside par
ties who were not delegates, but
who done the head-work, they final
ly succeeded. Most of the delegates
sent by temperance organizations
who wcni there for the purpose of
working in the eause of temperance
and nothing lse, also realized
the fact that they were powerless
and were simply throwing away
their time, and having a desire to
do something, withdrew for the
purpose of forming the Union, an
organization such as the Alliance
ought to have been. We do not wish
to be set before the people in a false
light, such as working in the inter
ests of a whisky ring. t as anyone
who knows the men and women
who formed the Union to be sound
temperance! advocates notwithstand
ing what the Xew Northwest may
say to the contrary.
