At a large temperance meeting held on Sunday evening in Hartford at Roberts opera House, the principal speakers were Judge Blydenburgh and Mir. James Galla- gher, of New Haven, and remarks were also l made by O. D. Aibee, of New Haven, and John G. North, chaplain of the New Haven jail, who had spoken during the day at the | State prison, the jail and at meeting in East Hartford. The first speaker was Judge Blydenburgh, who called attention to the i'm portancs of choice of the right road early in life and showed how easily wrong turr at the beginning could lead to degradation and misery He described the temperance l work recently done in New Haven, the large and enthusiastic meetings here, and in con nection with the benefit to be con ferred by this work spoke of tht | possible trouble to develop betweeI labor and capital and said that the way 1 for the workingmsn was 10 abstain and lay uK | money against the time when such conflict | might find him without resources. and Of the l strength he obtained from knowing that he could not be made destitute in 8 moment fl ! it were impossible for him, for some time, te earn wages Mir. Gallagher in opening his address paid high tribute to the city ot 1 Hartford, not only for her wealth and cul- | ture but for her sbrewd business sagacIty in | capturing the capitol from her sister city, | New Haven. There were no important | issues between the two leading parties of l to-day. Temperance men will be heard in the near future. He appealed to the liquor dealers to give up their nefarious business, and asked the business men to come forward and help on the good work as 1t would put | money in their pockets 1n the end. He de- | preciated the sale of liquor in the legislative halls of the nation. His address was inter- spersed with amusing anecdotes to impress the point upon bis hearers. MT. Albee and Mir. North spoke briefly. new feature of the meeting was the presence of two ladies to receive signatures to the pledge. They were seated in front and during the evening 8 number of those in the room signed their names The meeting lasted till after 10 o'clock.
