those unoffending persons？ I will not run amuck and vilify and
defame them； as teetotal tracts and platforms would most assuredly
do； if the question were one of drinking instead of driving： I
merely ask what is to be done with them！ The reply admits of no
dispute whatever。 Manifestly； in strict accordance with teetotal
doctrines； THEY must come in too； and take the total abstinence
from horseflesh pledge。 It is not pretended that those members of
the procession misused certain auxiliaries which in most countries
and all ages have been bestowed upon man for his use； but it is
undeniable that other members of the procession did。 Teetotal
mathematics demonstrate that the less includes the greater； that
the guilty include the innocent； the blind the seeing； the deaf the
hearing； the dumb the speaking； the drunken the sober。 If any of
the moderate users of draught…cattle in question should deem that
there is any gentle violence done to their reason by these elements
of logic； they are invited to come out of the procession next
Whitsuntide； and look at it from my window。
