show tnat the members Of the Temperance Alliance
were no better than they should be that modsr-
ate drinkers had led and do cad the world that
the quahers never applied force TO carry out their
peace principles tina. temperate drinking did not

are Ease and disgusting; that DR. Hun had proved
their aisy that medical fats and statistics destroy
the temperance argument; that he had never known

drnkeI all his life Mr.. G. then brought up the re-
turns OF the Chief OF Police saying that the reported
arrests lor drunkenness were all mooasnine. Grim.
mails cid not dare drink for fear Of exposing their
crimes. Mr.. C. then looked over the statistics Of
fered for his notice in TAe Tribune He said the Sc
cret history OF these Police statistics was most DIS
graceful These statistics, he SAID, presented nearly
double return for every arrest, as generally two
meH were concerned in the same arrest, and both
reported II as their exclusive work. Then the de.
tailed Police force, order to show that they have
done something, each man of them, return a iiss OF
30 or AZ arrests per month, when often not single
arrest had been made. This was the way that
the great increase of crime" came about He fur

especially ia regard to the murder cases OF a few
years past I'VE are sorry 10 say that he did not
noce he cases Sn;S we POINTED on. 10
tons, the Maine Law, which he examined Ia detiit.
He said the Law was now regarded IN Maine Itself
an outrage upon vested rights, and that II could
never be enforced. But SAID he, no such Law
can be passed here without violating the Char
ter OF this City, for that Charter gives the Mayor
and Aldermen the power If licensing persons
to sell liquor, and it takes two-thirds of the
Legislature and the consent of the people to alter
the charter Mr. Camp said that Neal Do VS. reports
OF the working Of his law were untrue the law was
drank In the State Of Maine than ever before.
lCheers1 Mr.. G. then urged The re- peal OF the duty
on brandy, after which no landlord would insult MS
customers by offering them bad brandy or other mis-,
cradle liquor. Thence he proceeded TO defend hotel
and public house keepers from the charges made
upon them by Temperance speakers The en-.
forcement of a Maine Law, he said, would
flood our streets with blood. [Chsersl Tnen
he took up the political intention which he dis
covered in the Temperance movement. IL was Tor
the purpose of uniting Church and State, 70
forge chains TO enslave us: they mean 10 eie-
waite themselves 20 place and power; they are
traitors; they abuse the poor; they make it
crime to drink glass of beer, and misdemeanor TO
sell It, But they will learn that their Alliance, unit
ted with all the bigotIy and tyranny OF the earn,
cannot enforce such a Law In this proud City. The
speaker closed his Grafton by cautioniHg the people
of the canger such usurpatons as were clearly In
tended by the Holy Alliance OF Teetotai Fanatics,
and called upon his hearers to watch and resist all
oppression we shall then triumph, said he, and
have the satisfaction of seeing truth entirely vcto-
