Mr. scogu4LE
said It vas ,,o1,ortant to understand the issue.
The Germans lad raised false ones, and made it
q question OF personal liberty, and Oh 1nnova-
ton of their right to dliuk on Sunday. It had

not to be curbed in their rights. People got
community. Soft was proposed to stop it, as they
would Unsatisfactory. ALI could drink il they
pleased no nationality was hit at but these places
must not be opened Sunday, since it WAS proved
| they caused three-fourths of the murders. They
all knew what Bridgeport meant. The Germans

and it was possible, for he had seen people en-
joy neerschaums and beer, but still the people
Ind 4 right to stop those Bridgeport nuisances.
The real question was, whether those crime
/ manufactures we're to be stopped or not. He
had kindly feeling toward the Germans, but
several thousand Hessians once came here to
prevent Americans getting their liberty. Ger
! mans we're generally good citizens, however, ex-
cept Mr. Hesing, and he might do good if he
went en- in his wild way, by. waking up Amer
icans. AIr. Hesing had said he had worked for
fourteen years for the Germans. But he had
done nothing for education he had only
been activo when liquor YVES menaced.
He, however, believed Mr.. Hesing thought he
WAS right. There were no Issues between par
ties now; it was question Of men. So in this
State there were no issues. He Was glad Of it,
and liked to have the contest brought down to
choice between men. Party ties should not lead
persons to vote for bad men.
l1R. HENRY GREENEBAUM
said he had been identified with the move TOR
the suppression Of crime. He had one day sad
to come friends, every murderer Ehoalo ~
hanged, and every man who killed MS Nl1e
quartered. The next morning he read OF the
Callahan murder, which seemed, on tile lace OF IT,
q most atrocious crime. He determined some
thing must be done. He talked to several 1r1ends

He had, to his regret to run it, only one OF the m
prominent signers being present, tnouen Tue
hall Was full. He felt lie had struck key-note,
and ii tho meeting was not prudently GUIDED,
they were not far from lynch-law. He spoke TO

good committee. Twenty-Five we're appointed,
but only nine or tcu attended. Of the nine even,
committee had asked for an enforcement Of the
Temperance law, was their work done? No;
the very law was defective; it was
wrong to leave the fixing the penalty to tho
jury and there we're still other things to be
done While the Committee was at work an
other meeting Was held in the interests Of tenn
perance. W6iekey and perhaps beer and wine
did harm. The Germans had been much alluded
to. he did not want them to forfeit the.esteem
of his hearers. What they had done in COM
posed to the repeal Of the Sunday Liquor law,
but wanted it modified. They wanted to ehut
up low houses. Then have law that said just
that. He did not want 8 law that put no re-
Igious sentiment must be respected. A
Conference Committee he believed could
settle the matter. He had dreaded q contest on
that single issue, fearing it would result in the
election of bummers as Aldermen. When the
law was so changed es to suppress disorder on
Sunday, they would then have a Christian Sab
bath. The German and French Christians were
good Christians. even if they did have recrea-

Germans, Irish, and Americans would all join
together to advance the interests Of the Chris

THE REV. NIB. HTTREDGE
made few remarks favoring the hanging of the
murderer and Of hanging beside him the man
who sold the liquor which made him drunk.
The issue was so great that it Was Of more con-
sequence to Chicago than the Presidential cleo
ton. There we're things Of more consequence
than party. They had come to neglect, in their
in, national rn1ifica fha a1pcffon 0f
Aldermen and Representatives.. Now, temper
ance men were told that the question Of the
election of Senator merely was Of so much
consequence that everything else must be post
poned to it. He WAS opposed to any discrimina-
ton in favor of beer-saloons, not regarding it
practicable. He referred to their interview with
tile Mayor, and said they met with q reproof,
and we're practically told to mind their
own business. Afterward came his proclamation.
He would venture to say SO cowardly a 6o-called
proclamation could not be found in the annals Of
any city. [Great cheers.] He did not know
him, and perhaps the Mayor did not want to
know him. Political considerations sometimes
entangled man. It was not 80 far from the
Mayoralty to SenatorEIlip, and thence the Gov
ernorship. Had he nobly and manfully met
those who at a sacrifice Of time went to help
him. lie would have had q larger following than
the saloons would ever give him. It was the
time for him to hare made his reputation for all
time. He should have gone around and planted
cannon in the streets, and there would have been
no trouble. The good Mayor would come up to
tile scratch, gradually but firmly
The meeting then adjourned.
