the United States by the apostles Of
temperance TO introduce the Maine law
in all the States. They are taking
active measures TO at least prevent it in
this State. Although great brewers
are virtually at the head, great care has
been taken to interest the prominent
LIQUOR dealers who had heretofore
generally held aloof from the movement,
aud placing them in front, give more
general character to it. The result OF
tuis combination was meeting held by
the liquor dealers last week, in which
all the anti-temperance element were
united and which adopted series OF
resolutions, and drew up q petition to
the Legislature for modification OF the
laws of this State. This petition has
since then been circulated extensively,
the entire German press addressing
ardent appeals to their readers in its be-
half, and circulating a petition as extra
sheets of their papers, with requests to
forward them signed to Julius Freid,
burg, President Of the liquor dealers
organization. Brewers, saloon keepers
and all the different trades dependent
on them are working the matter up to
the best of their ability, and large sums
have been pledged by them to be ex-
pended to carry it through. A great
mass meeting and an anti-temperance
procession is contemplated to be held
at no distant day.

to pass the resolution hurriedly, and he
thought it would be better to wait till

Mr.. Bayard replied that if he had
based a speech on mere newspaper
items. Mr.. ConKling would have been
the first to call him to order. The
allusion to his motives he thought un'
grounded and necessarily ignorant, as
Mr.. Conkling had no means OF ascer'
tanning them except from his public re-
marks yesterday. Besides, judging
from Mr.. Conklings action in reference
to the organization OF the Retrenchment
committee and its Investigations, he
feared that the Senator from New York
