The baltimore VI. Conference


ANCE TO POLITICS.
At the Baltimore NJ. T.. conference i'm Ralti-
more yesterday the report OF the committee
on temperance, after expressing sympathy with
the original purposes of the State Temperance
Alliance, says that ii would be best hereafter
for the friends OF temperance to refrain from
organizing political party and remain strictly
non-partisan.
The Rev. C. w. Baldwin said the adoption Of
the matter under discussion would he commit
ting the conference To a partisan action. as il
would be taking side with one Of the two diViS-
ions into which the temperance cause had found
itself. The Rev. Thos. II yers wanted the confer
ence to declare il had no political alliances. lie
thought the late Presidential campaign had
thrown the temperance cause back ten years
The Rev. Mr.. Brown thought il had been
thrown back twenty years. He said he didn't
like to talk politics, as il was the meanest of all
Subjects. The Rev. c. III. Richardson moved To
re-commit the committees report with a view
TO having II SO modified as to satisfy all The
motion was adopted. The change soon after re-
ported back by the committee was not consid-
cred satisfactory, and il being stated thar the
committee was hopelessly divided. a motion 10
