Eight Hours' Demonstration.
(To the Editor.) Sm,—l regret to see as per " local" in last I evening's issue of Star that the convention I to which was submitted the desirability of ■ ■, holding a Temperance Demonstration at fit some fixture date have settled upon the A 29th January. lam sorry this is so, as tbeh^sj Eight Hours' Demonstration takes place o&ym that day, pnd it would be a pity to have'ji two such important movements clash. There '"*! can be no doubt each will militate against the success ot the other: and ag. :J some of the delegates must have known ' & that the Eight Hours' Demonstration took place on that date this year, and the same I day had been fixed for each subsequent I yearly demonstration, to say the least of it, I the selection of the temperance people was scarcely wise. As there are many of the working classes identified with both movements, 1 sincerely hope the temperance societies will see their way clear to tho selection of some other day and date.—l am, &c, Chas. B. Kino,
