GOOD TEMPLARS
AND
THE NEGRO QUESTION:
REPLY TO MR. HOYLE'S CRITICISM OF
MR. GLADSTONE'S PAMPHLET.
By WILLIAM W. TURNBULL, G.W.S. OF SCOTLAND,
AND SECRETARY TO THE UNITED EXECUTIVES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND
IRELAND.
M R. GLADSTONE'S plain statement of the facts connected with the
Disruption in the Independent Order of Good Templars has so
sadly annoyed Colonel Hickman's followers, that Mr. Hoyle has felt
constrained to attempt to pick holes in it. His criticismf however, does
not alter the facts, or any one of them, as it is only a series of blunders,
evasions, misrepresentations, assumptions, and assertions, through
which the confusion of his pamphlet becomes worse confounded.
Mr. Hoyle is singularly unfortunate. He was asked to preside at
the London Conference. Its object was to negotiate regarding Re-
union. He went expecting to hear Oronhyatekha's Liverpool speech
answered: but when, twice over, it was referred to, he, as chairman,
ruled it out of order, and has since said that he waited in vain
to hear it answered. He looked into the R.W.G.L. Journals, that
are admittedly defective, and not finding what he says he expected, he at
once rushed to the conclusion that the British Representatives
had done nothing to benefit the Negro. Lastly, he
takes up Mr. Gladstone's pamphlet, and looked for a. reply to the
several points raised by myself [himself] in my [his] review of the
Negro question. Poor man! What a disappointment it must have
been to him to find his name was never once mentioned ! And as be
cannot recognise his own ideas when expressed by others, he cannot
see that the replies to them answer him too. But other people can;
and here is the testimony of one better qualified to judge than Mr.
Hoyle. Professor F. W. Newman, late of Oxford, writes to the 'alch-
word of January 31, that he had been requested to reply to Mr. Hoyle,
but since I have read the ample and decisive statement of the G.W.C.T.
of Scotland in the Glasgow meeting of January 12, nothing more
seems to me needful; except, indeed, that our own G.W.C.T. [Bro.
Malins] should advert to some points, of no importance in my judg
ment, yet made much of, because a bad cause catches at
frivolous, argument.
