POLITICAL TEMPERANCE.

4 SMALL-S1zED GATHERING.
4 special meeting of TEMPERANCE people was
held in Room Il Pacific Hotel last evening. At
half-past O'Clock about n dozen gentlemen had
assembled, and were called to order BY J. W..
Goodspeed, at whose request NJ. StockweI
offered q short prayer.
After few remarks from the Chair, in which
he dolefully spoke Of the encroachmcnts OF the
rum-powcr and the necessity Of saving the
world from the evils Of intemperancc, MIR.
Dewey offered the following series Of resolu-
tioDs, which were considered seriatim and
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. The political parties Of the day are,
all Of them, bound in the tolls o! rum powcr and
WHEREAS. The Christian and temperance Eentt-
ment Of the city has weight whatever in the
controlling councils OF the aforesaid parties; and
WHEREAS, The right OF American citizenship, as
intended by the founders Of our Government, is ns-
sailed to its dishouor by the spirit Of lawlcssness
that prevails within tie ranks Of the PARTIES in H.
rum poWcz,-a power that to-day threatens the ez-
istcncc OF the Republic;
HeSolred. That we proceed on. as Christian and
temperance citizens. to organize for the purpose
of counreraciing the baefu policy Of all the par
tics and that snch organization he for the purpose
do to vigorous contest ut the polls on every oc-
casion Of municipal, State. or National contest
Aesotred, That u committee Of i've; incl: INCLUDING ing
the President, be appointed to proceed With the
organization OF the city By wards.
Nesolred, That a committee Of four be appointed
10 prepare address 10 the temperance and Chris
tian voters Of the city.
Mr.. Wade Abbott referred to the desecration
Of the Sabbath by the saloons and theatres, and
urged an active organization. He believed that
too much talk had been expended, and not
enough work.
Mr. Goodspeed believed that the Temperance
people should organize bg wards and thus make
themselves heard by doing so they would be
more or less successful. At the present it might
he considered too late to put ticket in the field,
but by organizing nov the advocates OF temper
ance could effect something hereafter.
Mr. Stockwell, who had ledi PRAYER, spoke to
the resolutions, and said that the best thing the
Temperance party could do would be to vote
against \. II. Wright, the Republican candidate.
Then, when they had accomplished his defeat,
they would secure the respect Of the Republican
party. carter Harrison had made no pledges.
Wright had gone back on his temperance record.
1t wonl1 be better for them to take the least of
two evils. And for this reason the speaker be-
lieved that it would DC better for the temper
ance cause to defeat Mr.. Wright.
Mr.. j. VI. Wood spoke in favor Of organiza-
tion, aud told some touching stories relative to
the confidence and trust reposed bv whisky
men in those who are opposed to them.
and related several instances wherein he
