what good such society could do, and
whether or no it was best to organize. 1t

Rev J. K. Day, of the Committee on
Resolutions, reported the following, which
were adopted;
Resolred,-ThA, this Alliance is organized Tor
work, and that We. each one OF US, pledge 20 the
officers elected here to-day, an active and hearty
cooperation with them in the furtherance OF every
measure which they may inaugurate 10 promote
the cause OF lNmptfAlffs
ResolreI. That this Alliance extends TO all 9th
CT temperance organizations a cordial greeting OF
love and sympathy, and VIC declare Il 10 DC me
mission OF this gSn EatOn 10 Affiliate AMI cOrd
ally cooperate with every other temperance or
glniLasOn In The state In the prosecution OF the
work OF the temperance reform, and that our held
Of labor shall be such unOccupicd territory ~ the
extent OF our organization may discover
Resolved, That our executive officers be 10
strucied 20 studiously avoid any interference with
the legitimate work Of other organizations, but 10
every branch OF the temperance work in which VIC
sympathetic central point around which may clus
ter all efforts for The fUrtherancC the great ten
per9 nee reform
Resolved That the thanks Of the Alliance are
due 10 the press OF the entire State for the gener'
Gus manner 10 which they have responded 20 our
demands for notices, and the publication OF the
cal for this meeting, and We tender them our sin
cere thanks for their liberahty and kindness.
Addresses of interest were made at both
the afternoon and evening meetings by
prominent temperance workers. And thus
a new engine for the suppression Of that
demon Rum" Is set IN motion If the
society carries out the principles of Its
constitution and resolutions, 1t must be
an aid in the temperance work, If 1t falls
into the hands Of impracticable and schem-
ing men, as has the Massachusetts, ALI
Ance, constantly proposes to organize a
temperance party, or establishes 3 wishy
washy temperance organ, it had better
died in It's birth.
