TO the Editor of the Press
In your issue of the 14th, is reprint of an
article from the Chicago Alliance under the
above heading. 1t charges the temperance
men who have replied to DR.. .Crosby's Monday
lecture, with being intemperate in their Ian
guage and unduly excited. Sc The Alliance
makes no specifications. but charges this in
general terms. / deny the whole of it,ossIf !, ,
DIR. Crosby's lecture was entitled "A Calm
View of Temperance, but it was vehement in
its style and manner and crowded with the
most offensive epithets against the temperance
workers and their methods. These epithets
included in their broad sweep, Rev. Drs Ly-
man Beecher, Edwards, Marsh, Porter, Pond,
Tying, Dutfield, Albert Barnes, Patton Gan
nett, Charming, Miner, Woods Payson.
Manning, Gov. Briggs, Gov. Long, Gov. Slade,
Gov. St. John, Henry Wilson, Abraham Lin
coin, Lucius NJ. Sergeant, DIR. Warren, DIR.
Rush, DIR. Mussey, and a host of Others The
language hardly affords adjectives and adverbs
more offensive than those applied by Dr. Cros-
by to all temperance workers. including these:
iBulldozlng; atrocious; unmanly; false; over
bearing; tyrapnical; falsehoods; its principal
agencies are falsehoods; hypocritical self-seek-
ers; they mob down independent though; mud
throwers; carry the the war into Africa: the
total abstinence system is false in its philoso-

DR.. Crosby posed as a beligerent; he said:
II take no apologetic position. carry the
war into Africa" That is, he made war against
temperance men and their methods, in which
methods temperance men the world over are
agreed. After swinging the shalalah in the
way he did, it is pitiful, I think, to complain,
even If 1T were true, that he has been hit back
He was answered by Drs. Gordon and Miner
of Boston, DR.. Cuyler, President Hopkins,
Wendell Phillips, Mrs. Foster and others. In
all those replies do not remember one harsh
word, yet the writers were all expressly in
cldded in the attack of DIR. Crosby upon tenn
perence men ard their methods. He thought
to crush the temperance cause; but the New
/ York Independent suggests that the DR.. mis-
judged his own power and the strength of his
enemy. 'u NEAL Dow.
