 SEETON'S LAST MANIFESTO." 
 
 A FLAGRANT INSULT TO THE ELECTORS OF HALIFAX. 
 
 The following is from llic " Presbyterian Witness" of Saturday, April 25th : — 
 
 'I'liK Mayoralty. — Last week we tlumtilu Mr NTackintnsli would be ittiirncd witliout opposition to reoccupy the chair wliich he 
 filled wiili sntli credit to liiiiiself and advantage to the city during the |)Psl twelve months. It seems however that Mr. Joseph Seeton is 
 now in the field, with the su|)port of the Litpior Dealers Associution, who are confidi-nt of their ability '.o return him by a large majority. 
 
 \Vi" do not imhilge in threits, l)ut kvo miy 1)0 permitted t.i forec.i.st the inevitable. If the induen'.ial and powcrfid body <f men 
 intcrestcfl in tlie I.itpior Trade sp'ing upon the city and seize it, and place its Ma\or and Corporation uiuler the control of their Agent, 
 thev will bring on a conflict wliicli can liave but one issue. Never yet in the history of civilized comniiinities has this sort of thing gone 
 nncheckttl. In the hnig run (and the run will not be very long) the aggressors will be totally defeated. 
 
 Ark the citizens of Halifax willing to be under the control of the Ac.knt of a Liquor Dealing League ? Is such a person to control 
 the election ol our .Mayors ami Aldermen? Are we to be under tlie rule of one special interest and that interest not the most exalted? 
 In our opinicm the reputation ol Ilalilax is very deeply at stake. 
 
 It was sup|)()se(l that we lived in a free country, and people could vote for whom they pleased, but it 
 seems that the " Witness" insists that the Electors must swallow Mr. Mackintosh. What kind of a friend 
 Mr. Maikintosii has been to the Liquor Dealers can be seen by a report of his remarks in the City 
 Council, February _'6, 1884, from a city paper, on a resolution for the City to issue licenses. 
 
 Aid. Mackintosh said the M lyor of St. John simply declined to act under some old law or another. 
 Hut for all thf? tiood his action did he inio;lit as well have oone down to the end of the wharf and spit 
 overbo.'.rd. lie did not think this resolution should pass. The law could not be disobeyed with mipunity. 
 It is bad enouoh as it is, but he did not think it was ri<fht to lead the liquor dealers on to do business 
 when the Inspectur can come in and close them up, and relyinoj on our protection, they will be left in the 
 lurch. He considered that the Acr was plrkkcti.y constitutional. 
 
 Aid McSweeney — Then you differ with the ablest lawyers in the country?^' 
 
 Aid Mackintosh — No, I do not ; if I thouoht I did, I vvoiild simply • lUt my mouth, (Voice, " couldn't 
 do it.") It was easy to see that the Act wotsld be enforced, and that by goin^ contrary to it would sim- 
 ply be allowinji; those people to make a stand, and the Inspector would put the Act in force and close up 
 their places of business. 
 
 Aid Md'herson — How will they put it in force.' 
 
 Aid Mackintosh — By the usual machinery. 
 
 Aid. Md'herson— Not with our police. 
 
 Aid. Mackintosh — There is the machinery for enforcinj; it. All British law can be enforced, and it 
 is the .ylory of the British litiipire that its laws can be enforced. He quoted from the V>. N. A. Act to 
 shiuv that the power was f^iven them to grant licenses " for the raisino; of a revenue," not for the regulat- 
 ing of the business of liquor selling. He could not but protest against leading these people into the false 
 position that the City Council can protect them. 
 
 Two months afterwards the Dominion Government passed an Amendment 'o the License Act, 
 making licenses issued under Provincial laws valid till the constitutionality of the Dominion Act was 
 determined Yet Mayor Mackintosh, by illegal endorsements on City Licenses, and putting dates on 
 them he had no business to, cost the liquor de?Jers ihousands ol dollars. (The Act has since been 
 declared bad and will never be heard of again.) Mr. Mackintosh got all the liquor dealers to sign his 
 requisition that he could, and then his organ turns round and says the business is " not the most exalted." 
 The liquor dealers pay more into the Dominion and Prtnincial revenues than any other busines.o, and 
 consitler their business legal, and ask no more favors than the law allows. 
 
 The foregoing was compiled and issued by Alderman McSweeney, who is running the opposition to 
 Mayor Mackintosh, and who assumes to run the whole city. 
 
 .Jjy Mayor Mackintosh's action with regard to the endorsements on those City Liquor Licenses, which 
 was done under the sanction of the Legal advisors of the City, tens of thousands of dollars in damages 
 were saved to the tax payers of Halifax, as those who demanded and received City Licenses, when they 
 could not get Dominion Licenses, wished to compel the Cit) to defend them in the courts. 
 
 Mayor Mackintosh never interfered with the Liquor dealers, but only protected the City Treasury 
 from a raid from certain interested parties. He only, as he was bound by his oath of office to do, enforced 
 the laws of the Country which were good at the time 
 
 VOTE FOR MAYOR MACKINTOSH and not for McSwceney's nominee.
