y. n.y. and bus sday, Feb. 3Ist and 23nd
the object being the organization of STATE TEN
HERANcE ALLIANCE. In which SHALL be united all
the moral and religious elements of society in an
active and well directed war against Intemperance
Regarding Intemperance the destroyer of wealth,
character, health and happiness, and as the enemy
of the Republic and the Church of Christ, we call
upon the citizens of Maine regardless of political
religious affiliations, to attend this citing par
tiepate in its deliberations and then unite their
hands and hearts to crush out this great evil.
An amendment to our State Constitution will,
doubtless soon be submitted to the people, and We
must prepare for the coming conflict. IL is time
for counsel for earnest prayer and united action.
This meeting is not called in the interest of any
party or set Of men, nor will it be made the ns'ru
ment of any party; but forgetting everything that
divides in other directions, let us come together
as citizens anxious to advance the moral interests
and preserve the good name of our State and Coun-
try and let organize tor campaign In which ev-
cry good citizen and Christian should unite.
- The usunl reduction Of fares by The railroads may
be expected.
