electing officers. Although 1 am a stock

at home, 4, at the solieitahon of some 9th
ers, went into said meeting. i soon saw
Professor Porter, William Dean, Robert
Chmmins, and Thomas Budd we're trying to
run the machine III the interests of the
Changers. Governor Co :hran and q, host
of others L also saw were opposed to It.
Professor Porter introduced resolution to
offer one hundred dollars to that Grange
hat would make the best display Of grain,
&c., at the next. exhibition of the Society.
Governor Cochran and myself ih q few
remarks showed up the IridiculOuspess of
the resolution, and it was voted down.
Then Thomas Budd introduced the same,
only differing ID . few Words give that
G .ahge one hundred dolars that made the
best show. This was voted down. It was
evident that tGfangerism WAS on tits last
legs, and a few of its members were trying
to get resolutions passed by. the Agricultu-
raj Association Of such anature to drive
farmers to join Oranges, before they could
successfully compete for a. premium, as
these resolutions cut off all outside persons,
as the offer was to Changers alone. The
Middletown TRANSCRIPT should have given
the proceedings OF the meeting, but instead,
published a long communication .lauding
certain Grangers as very gentlemanlyD Dpeo-
pie and able representatives, and saySLI was
very hmb-like. Now, would say to the
Transcript, the Granger trick of Porter,
Dean, Cdmmfns, and Budd was so otrSnspa-
rent that 1t didlnot reapire any or very little
ammunition from me, for found Governor
Cochran, Thomas Cochran, and others, I
might say the general mass at the meeting
were felly alive to the best insteres.s 8 Of the

But the ladies obtained permisSi0B from the
City Couhcil to dse the room, and when on
Friday, q proclamation was issued by the
other party, announcing that they would
hold a meeting there yesterday, the ladies
preceded ito Mayor Whiteley's Office on

sights were being usurped by their co-labor-
efS in the Temperance cause.
This the Mayor acknowledged when the
facts were made known to lin, and he gave
notice to Mr.. Wells that he could not hold

ness in the temperance movement, he en-,
gagged the Institute Hall, where meeting
Vas held yesterday afternoon. NJ ...,i. i.
The ladies stated to the Mayor that while

upon different principles. The gentlemen
mixed politics with temperance, while they
converted all persons to otemperanee through

brief address, during which he said he be-
Hcyed the temperance cause was more of a
religious than political movement. He
.pitied the man more than he blamed him,
who became victim to sJrong drink. He
thought tnat now during the Centennial
year. much might be done for the good
cause. He concluded by saying: ~ 90
for strict and stringent laws that will pro-
tect your children and my children, from

dc pray to the God Of the Battles to give u
the victory"
