For THE RECORD
THE TEMPERANCE LEAGUE.

EDITOR OF RECORD Some writer who
takes in the last number Of the BEACON to
give, not a true account, but such a siurring
one of the organization Of the Temperance
League" as will most crafty personal jeal-
ousy at the risk of hindering to some extent
the work of saving our people from the sin
and degradation of intemperance.
While do not apprehend that any one en-
gagged in the effort to reorganize and consoli-
date the temperance sentiment of our, city,
viii be much affected or for a moment deter
red from their labor, by the attempted ridi-
Guile of sThird Ward, yet it is matter of
a esprit that would take pleasure to cast
ridcule upon those who have grown gray in
the work of temperance.
1t is safe to say, because unquestionably
true, that not one of those engaged in the
business of getting the Temperance element
to work in one channel had the slightest
motive other than the best interest of the
Temperance Cause, in what they did.
The writer of this had nothing to do Of
ficia,y or otherwise with the organization of
the q Iron Clad League did not consider it
a wise thing to do, and is convinced that
most ofthose appointed to conduct it. after
wards came to the same conclusion but the
society had been formed, the punctiliousness
of some could not be gratiied without a
formal dissolution, and as the " Reform
Club was the elder of the two, it seemed
proper that the " Iron Clad League should
take the initial step towards union, which
was done at meeting of that society. A
resolution was then passed instructing their
executive committee to confer with the exec
utive committee of the Reform Club and If
deemed best the two committees to call both
societies together to consider the propriety of
reorganizing as one.
1t would appear the call was made, the
meetings were held, and all who were present,
either by speech or silence, approved of the
action. Those who participated in that joint
meeting had right to believe that all were
