litter Recess.

The convention re- assembled at 9 p. M,
and after a great deal of cheerful buzzing
in which the slight sprinkling of the fair
sex present freely participated, it got down
to business.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization was submitted. The
committee named Mr.. Williams as the per-
manent chairman, and Mr.. Frank McGraw
as secretary. Adopted.
In accepting the position of chairman,
Mr. Williams made neat speech referring
to the cause OF temperance as relating to
the system of national government.
He said that the success of the two great
parties depended upon the support of the
liquor traffic. The speaker referred to the
struggle of the anti-slavery power, stating
that as abolition was the only remedy for
slavery, SO prohibition was the only RENE
dy to wipe ont the liquor traffic. The sup
porters of the temperance movement might
be derided and called cranks and fools, but
they Ehad noble work to perform, and
one that would be classed in magnitude to
the cause that liberated the slaves.
The Lord was on the side of temperance
and he would support all earnest workers
in removing the blight of our land. The
speech was applauded.
