THE REMoNsTRANCE AGAINST LICENSE.
Mrs. Blain, Secrs.ar read the remcn-
STRANGE pledge, and while the ladies were
circulating it far signatures, the choir
sung hymn, selected by Mrs. Alice Van
valkenberg.
CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.
1t was amusing to see the candidates
for Office shirk the issue. This is the
poorest dodge these gentlemen could
make, and how scratched they may become
by meu who love principle and honor
above party. Society may justly ques-
ton whether such men can be trusted
AT the completion of the pledge can
vass, the Secretary announced that two
hundred and fifty names had been secured
to date, on the ladies' pledge.
DIR. Jacoby and w. B. Hess, Esq. be-
ing called out, made creditable speeches
The DR.. let drive some very just shots on
those who thought they could shift re-
sponsibility
The ladies announced a meeting at 3
o'clock, on Monday evening, and the au
dience adjourned with the benediction.
MEETING OF TUESDAY EVENING.
The Temperance Mass Meeting on
Tuesday evening was conducted by the
men, and was not so enthusiastic or i'm
pressive as the previous one
Mrs. Borton, President of the Ladies'
Temperance League, announced that H.
G.. Thayer was requested by the ladies to
preside. Mr.. Thayer took the chair and
made the usual speech, made by most
politicians on assuming such. He was
very fearful of personalities and hoped
there would be none" He makes good
chairman only he gives men a little too
much latitude as to time and is inclined
to fiatter, whether things be good or in
different.
The choir sung, and VIM. Kendall was
called and made pointed speech. He
talked reform as if he meant it, and asked
some questions of the audience that are
worth bordering before they attempt to
reform others. He spoke to the present,
and while some men would construe his
speech as too aggressive-it is just the
right thing for all who would do right
and make no compromise with evil; but
go forward steadily and surely.
DR.. Sherman followed with some re-
marks at length. The DR.. assumed this
reform to be of God, and after running
over the history of temperance reforma-
ton for about twenty years. He thought
this, beyond all of them. He cautioned
the ladies of the terrible enemy with
which they were engaged" but thought
he could be conquered by caution, &c.
After singing, G. r. CLANCY spoke. He
thought the ladies could only do up this
work right, and wanted them to visit the
"Court House and see who followed
vhiskey clients into the courtroom" II
was true, and he had seen men perjurs
their souls to please the saloon keepers
judges, juries and witnesses had beer
bought. He thought the time would
come when it would be unpopular fol
men to sign license papers, &c.
DR.. Carpenter, of Warsaw, was called
cut, and made speech of some length
ard some good points. But we fear ht
was ready to anticipate martyrdom OF
some of the fair sex. He referred to the
es.uti ful incident of King Edwards the
3D.. at Calais influenced by the interces
sion of /. is beautiful Queen, and thought
men were not totally depra we'd; bu
could be so reached by the woman, how
ever hare Of heart.
The che r was requested to sing, anG
the pledge was circulated for signatures
after which, Drs. T. A. & A. o. Bortor
made few remarks. Prof. Chase prt in
his excuse, and c. VI. Reeve responded to
cali by saying the apeakers had moi
agreed, and then went off into an anec-
dote to illustrate his point.
We forgot to put Vim. Hill on the
record, as the best speaker of the evening
The merits of his speech being brevity
and positive committal. his heart and
hand were in this work and l,e would do
all he could for it." Such are til e kind the
ladies call for.
An announcement was made for la.
dies meeting,at 8 o'clock Wednesday, and
the meeting adjourned.
