Rally I'm winthrop.

The temperance rally was held as adver-
tised Oct 2Gth. The exercises commenced
with praise meeting at Town Hall at Q A.
NJ. led by II. C. Sinclair. From 10 o'clock
to ~, very spirited and interesting temper
ance meeting was held, presided over by b.
C. Jersey. In the afternoon and evening
large and enthusiastic meetings were held
conducted by f. s. French. president of the
Winthrop Reform Club. Spirited addresses
were made by the large number of earnest
workers in the cause who were present from
Kennebec and Androscoggin counties. The
day was a beautiful autumnal Sabbath and
the citizens turned out en- masse, thus evinc-
ing their deep interest in the temperance
cause. The almost universal sentiment ex-
pressed by the various speakers was that the
legislature-elect should enact a stringent law
prohibiting the sale Of cider. because cider is
one of the greatest hindrances to the success
of the temperance cause now to be met with.
The hearts of all were made glad by some of
the young men coming forward and signing
the pledge. The meeting can hardly fail of
accomplishing its desired object, viz, to
arouse the temperance people to renewed ac-
tivity, and persuade them to arise in their
might and drive back to its hellish den, rum,
that arch ficnd and fell destroyer.
