Aid HUsTLEY said, in responding 10 thedhDt
toast, il afforded him the greatest JOY of his life TO be
present on this OCCASION when after years Of toll the
Temperance people standing upon the threshold OF
victory lie was pleased 10 respond 10 this toast as
BY his GROWING Gov Clark had placed the victory
the lauor.deaers bv their combination and capital
succeed in getting this law declared unconstitutional,
they cannot crush out the sentiment that prevails win
the people and their success would Dc but temporary
He believed that the rumselers' cause was never
before on such shaky ground at present. and conse
quently every temperance man should stand Dy IL ~
it will only exist by public sentiment As the Law
to be enforced at all hazards he hoped that might %
accomplished by moral suasion and in such way that
even its bterest enemies might be won 10 ms cause
and hereafter bless the Temperance men for the great
good they have accomplished
Mayor HALL, in responding 10 the second toast,
said that he felt duly sensible of the honor conferred
upon him. He believed that the people OF Brooklyn
expect more Of him than he will ever be able TO ac-
con pish. He would pledge himself that he would do
his duty fearessy., The question had been asked
him many times within the past lew days, what course
he would pursue the Fourth Of July In reference to
the search and seizure lie had told them that nc IN
tended to do all in his power TO enforce the law a. al
times If these persons woad read the Law they would
perceive that it cannot be enforced that days a far
us search and seizure are concerned a. no Courts
would be in session on the Fourth, and consequently
the necessary papers could not be obtained. La con-
elusion May or Hall gave tue following sentiment;
"The laws country made b. no people themselves,
the people should obey then" lApplsusel.
Judge CULVER replied to the third toast In very
happy and humorous manner, and referred IN a sar-
castle manner to the pursued by several Brook
lvn yauers in their attacks upon him. In regard 10

that law had never been deyised 30 strong as this
| The Rev. w. W. KING ia replying to the eighth
toast took occasion TO say that the papers lied rel
erence to the remarks made by him at the Odeon, IN
! which he was reported TO have said that he would
retIer thar The lives Of twenty thousand persons
should be sacrificed than that the law should not be
| enforced"
Prof MErc.LF, in responding to the seventh toast,
| concluded with the following sentiment:

undue influence remain ISDEPENDEST.
The toasts and speeches extended 10 late hour, and
at the conclusion large portion Of the assemblsge ad
ouned to the upper saloon, where all who felt disposed
joined in Terpschorean exercises, which terminated
the festivities
