Brewers Convention
DETROIT, May 16.-The twenty third
annual convention of the National Brew
ers' convention assembled this morning in
this city in Harmonic hall, which was
beautifully decorated for the occasion with
flowers and notices. The delegates were
formally received last evening, when a

dress of welcome by Michael Martz, chair
man of the reception committee, and
Mayor Thompson. The latter, after
giving the delegatates cor
dial greeting, continued as follows
THE great cities have ever been the bull
wark of human liberty. History since the
thirteenth century shows what hanseatic
league did for personal liberty and refer
ence was made as to the influence and
power in the same direction by the citi-
zens of Frankfort and Hamburg. This
statement held good throughout the his
tory of the middle ages and In America.
The great cities have ever proved the bull
wark of personal freedom, abiding in a
casual way to the political standing of De-
troit which might be influenced by local
or other cause, in the question of civil lib
erty. He believed that the citizens of De-
troit would roll up vast majority in its
favor. When the wave of fanatics No
rushed over the country, Detroit
stood fast, not knowing anything about
the city's future policy. Not
wishing to introduce politics
into his remarks he felt certain
that the city would ever stand up for the
personal rights OF her citizens. The
| Mayors remarks were received with
rounds of applause.
H. B. Scharmann replied gracefully in
behalf of his associates to the welcoming
| address.
When the convention was called to order
by Mr.. E. Voight in behalf of the local
brewers and citizens of Detroit he vel.

who spoke of the improved pros
poets of the brewing inter
ests, furnishing statistics as to
the increase in the consumption of nal
| liquors and the relative decrease in dis
| titled. The secretary read the report of the
| board of trustees for the year, showing
what had been done by them in promoting
the interests of the trade, closing with the
statement that the principal business be-
fore the convention, would be the adjust
ment of the hop tax question, and the re-
duction or abolishing of the tax on beer.
The report of the vigilance committee
recited the causes that led to prohibition
in Kansas and Iowa, and the decisions of
the courts inTalidating the laws, and touch
ed upon the iniquitiss Of the tariff COM
mission in respect to granuleted rice, in
