First-A similar request was made to me by the friends of temperance, upon which I respect- fully declined to act.
Second-I know of no law, either State or city, authorizing, or recognizing my power or authority to do so.
Third-That it could avail nothing if issued, for the reason that I am not lawfully empowered to issue such a proclamation.
Respectfully, R. F. BROWN, Mayor.
This did not look as if "the liquor dealers never did such a thriving business as during the crusade," else why the petition against these demonstrations. On the contrary, many cases were successfully prosecuted for violation of law for selling. A. W. Train was attorney for the Women's Temperance League.
The mass meetings, as well as others, were characterized by the spirit of devotion.
A large and enthusiastic mass meeting was held at Second Street M. E. Church, and at the usual hour the Second Street M. E. Church was crowded with an audience, filled with the temperance inspiration. Promptly at the hour appointed for the opening of the meeting, Mrs. Hazlett, the President, was at her post. She opened the meeting by reading, in a clear and distinct voice, the Fourth Chapter of Collossians. Immediately after reading this impressive lesson, the entire congregation joined, with feeling, in

singing the sweet and tender strains of that grandest of hymns,
"Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me," etc.
A fervent prayer, by Mrs. Hazlett, followed, after which was sung,
"A charge to keep I have," etc.
Prayer by Mrs. Addison Palmer, and hymn, "My days are gliding swiftly by."
Prayer by Mrs. Thomas Durban. The meet- ing was then thrown open for speaking. Judge M. M. Granger being called out, responded, substantially, as follows :
"I am very thankful for the privilege of ad- dressing an audience of this character, composed, as it is, of women and men who are earnestly striving to better the condition of the world, make homes happy by driving from our midst the one thing that has caused more sorrow and suffering than any other evil that affects the earth." The Judge then made a happy hit upon the old Latin proverb, "whom the God's would destroy they first make mad." He said that when this movement of the women of Zanesville first began, the saloon keepers assembled in great wrath, determined to fight to the bitter end all attempts that had for their object the overthrow of the liquor business.
"They assumed the armor, and chose their own weapons for the conflict. They undertook to make a battle-axe of figures, with which they hoped to stay the advance of the ladies. They opened the arithmetic, and began to compute the long columns of revenue ; they went to the Aud- itor's office, and raked up the taxes raised from individuals engaged in the liquor traffic, added the numbers together, and placed them before the public ; they told you of the amount of prop- erty owned by whisky and beer men, and, with their long columns of statistics, sought to break up the convocation of the enemy. While en- gaged in their computations, did they tell you all? Did they tell you how many saloons there are in Zanesville? Did they give you the num- ber of tipplers-the number of moderate drink- ers? Did they compute how many drunkards we are cursed with? Did they tell you of the crimes, sorrows, broken hearts, and misery produced by strong drink? How much precious time is wast- ed? No, not a word of it. Wealth is the pro- duct of labor ; time wasted is wealth destroyed. For every moment of idleness produced, money is taken from our coffers. Thus, we see, if the weapons are turned, if the beer men are pursued by arithmetic and numbers, the weapons with which they assail us, their battlements are easily overthrown. The ladies of this place have shown wisdom in choosing their mode of operation. Al- ready, in many of our villages, no liquor is sold ; every saloon has been closed. But what would be effectual in these small places, would not be effectual here : public opinion in Zanesville was averse to this movement. A month ago, you could not have made me believe that our City Council would ever pass such an ordinance : pub-
lic opinion was opposed to such a measure ; but it has wonderfully changed since this movement began. The work is not done yet ; the passage of this ordinance is nothing, without its enforce- ment. Public sentiment must enforce the laws, and the ladies of this place hold public sentiment in their own hands. Let the officers know that the people require the enforcement of this ordi- nance. Laws are not enforced when the people are against them. Our officers must be pure. We must refuse to continue in office any one op- posed to the strict enforcement of the newly en- acted ordinance. I heard to-day that a saloon- keeper of this place recently lost a child by death, and, while it was lying a corpse in one room, he was selling liquor to a boisterous crowd in another room, while many half-drunken men were playing cards over glasses just emptied, and to increase the crime, this all passed on Sunday, and but a week ago. This was brought to the knowledge of officers, and no measures were ta- ken to punish these vile offenders of the law. We must make it our duty to see that the laws are enforced, and not be ashamed to make our com- plaints, or afraid to produce our affidavits. Then. and not till then, will the law be enforced, and the liquor-sellers compelled to obey.
The audience showed their approval of the Judge's speech by frequent applause. The ven- erable Bishop Springer, and others, also address- ed the meeting.
After six weeks of unremitting labor, Mrs. Sa- rah Hazlett retired from the Presidency of the League, and was succeeded by Mrs. James (wife of Rev. Dr. James), who occupied the position until October 20th. 1874.
Very interesting meetings were held by mem- bers of the League, in Chandlersville, Union- town, Rockville. Bridgeville, Bloomfield, and in school houses elsewhere, and district temperance societies organized.
Prominent among the gentlemen who aided in these meetings, were: A. W. Train. Judge E. E. Evans, Henry Blandy, D. B. Gary, Dr. James, and many of the clergy.
October 27th, Mrs. E. S. Springer was elected President, and Mrs. L. B. Taylor, Secretary. About this time. great efforts were being made to repeal the beer ordinance. as it was called. and much excitement prevailed. Several mem- bers of the Council, who had voted for the ordi- nance, were induced to change their minds, and the law was repealed. The Sunday before the repeal took place. a mass meeting was held in the Seventh Street M. E. Church. which was addressed by Mrs. Springer, who helt the un- wearied attention of the vast multitude for one hour, and made one of the strongest speeches, in behalf of temperance, ever made in this city. All the members of the Council had been invited to be present ; those who were prepared to stand by the temperance cause were there, and those act- ing in behalf of the liquor men stayed away.
The County Convention met at the Second Street M. E. Church. December 3d. 1874. Mrs. R. S. James called the meeting to order, and

Mrs. Ohl, from the Committee on Resolutions, reported a series of resolutions, remarkable for touching on the secret of active aid or embarrass- ment of temperance work, with telling force.
A general invitation to speak was responded to by ladies from Norwich, Dresden, New Con- cord, Cincinnati and Zanesville. Rev. Dr. Kingsbury and Rev. Dillon, also. The presid- ing officer followed with a feeling address- rendered more touching from the fact that this was the first time for two months her voice had been heard in a public temperance meeting, on account of illness. The convention closed with prayer by Rev. Mr. Shrom. At the evening session, the meeting was presided over by Doctress Johnson, who delivered an able address, of which the following is an extract :
"We bring before you to-night a few statistics, which are of a local character, and being strictly official, are pertinent to the occasion. We have within the city limits, including druggists, 108
dealers-wholesale and retail-in intoxicating liquors. Within Muskingum county there are 136 licensed dealers. [We omit the enumera- tion as given by townships. ]
"The ordinance, as modified, went into effect November 12th, last. For a period of thirty-two days prior to its repeal, there were nineteen ar- rests for drunkenness ; and in nineteen days af- ter the repeal, there were forty-three arrests. During the past month, $162. has been received at the Revenue office-more than in the previous month. In view of these facts, there is no danger of getting out of work, or languid, for want of something to do. In fact, the enemies of tem- perance are enjoying "a season of revival" just now. Their windows are fresh washed, and they are permitting the clear light of day to enter the dark places, which have been so carefully guarded with blinds and screens for lo these many years. The spirit of belligerency is abroad among us ; harmless telegraph poles, one of the engines of enlightened civilization, were the cause of serious difficulties-and yet men were permitted to pile barrels, one on the top of the other, until they reached the second story windows, painted in gay colors, and labeled with choice brands of liquid fire, and who dares to lift their voice, much less their axes, against such an obstruction? As an article of merchandise, vast sums are invested and made in this traffic, and nothing so sears and deadens a man's conscience, and drags him away from his moral moorings, as the excitement of rapid money making, and by doubtful means. "And then, the question comes, what can we do to stay this great tide of iniquity, which reaches every grade of society, and casts its dark shadow over the most sheltered firesides?
"One of the first things to be done, and which is being done, is to make the dealing in liquors disgraceful. To make every man engaged in the traffic, wholesale or retail, be he rich or poor, feel that there is a ban upon him; and every one that drinks it, that he has committed a crime. Then to create moral sentiment enough to com- pel Legislatures to pass laws to prohibit the man- ufacture of liquors, and to send men to Congress who will enact laws to prohibit the importation of alcohol in any form. This is the manner in which we must proceed, and what must be done. if we are to have any permanent reform.
"The time has been, when, to the apothecary and the physician, alcohol was a necessity, but chemistry has made such advancement in the last twenty-five years, that many new substances have been introduced, which largely supply its place ; prominent among which are glycerine, carbolic acid, bi-sulphide of carbon, benzine, and other articles, the products of petroleum and coal. To the physician, alcohol is a convenient article, but by no means a necessity. In the laboratory of the chemist, it must continue to be employed, unless we dispense with some useful agents, but need never be seen outside of those walls.
"May the day speedily come when we shall have emancipation from a bondage. compared

There is no business of- fering to unscrupulous per- sons such opportunities of profit by dealing in or pre- paring spurious goods as the drug business, owing to the skill necessary to detect such impositions.

with which human slavery was but a drop in the ocean."
Doctress Johnson was attentively listened to, and her address made a deep impression.
Mr. J. T. Shryock, Mrs. Fee, Mrs. Robert Caierns, Mrs. C. D. Caldwell, Rev. Mr. Porter, Miss Eliza Warner, Mr. G. N. Guthrie and Mrs. Long, made short speeches.
January Ist, 1875, under the direction of the President, the League began another series of Gospel Meetings and temperance work. The President opened with a powerful discourse on prayer, and its relation to the temperance work. The second evening, Mrs. V. Bruce read an able essay on Faith, which was followed by others, on the same topic. Mrs. James read an intensely interesting paper on Love, in answer to those who justify their indifference to the cause of temperance, on the ground that " it does not touch me." She asked, "was it because sin had touched Christ that he reached down to save fallen man? Or was it not his very sinlessness that made him a better Savior?"
The third evening Mrs. Addison Palmer dis- coursed, with eloquence, on individual Christian- ity, to the gratification of the audience.
The fourth evening, Miss Virginia Stevens and Doctress A. M. Johnson, discoursed on Spir- itual and Physical religion, closing the series of meetings, which will be remembered because of the deep spiritual interest that pervaded them. So deep and general was the interest that the workers resumed their home duties, feeling that the hearts of the people were one, and could then go on the even tenor of their way without fear of molestation, only continuing their weekly meetings. And for two years there seemed no particular manifestation of interest in the subject.
When Francis Murphy attracted attention to his work in Pittsburgh, the President, Mrs. Springer, with the League, again held meetings, assisted by Rev's. H. A. Delano, O. J. Nave and W. P. Shrom, and secured the assistance of Captain Martin and Mr. John Best, two reformed men from the scene of Mr. Murphy's operations. During these meetings, many hundreds signed the "Murphy Pledge," and almost every re- formed man has since become a member of some Christian church, and many of them are now honored citizens.
The temperance work, thenceforward, has been chiefly in the hands of a society known as Rechabites, although the Womans' Temperance League has not been formally disbanded.
The order of Rechabites set forth the words of the Prophet Jeremiah, chapter xxxv, verses 14: 18, 19, as the inception of the covenant they make: "The words of Jonadab, the son of Re- chab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed ; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment. *
* * And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites : Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel : Because ye have obeyed the com- mandment of Jonadab, your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he
hath commanded you, therefore, thus saith the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab, the son of Rechab, shall not want a man to stand be- fore me forever."
The first organization of this kind was :

THE MUSKINGUM COUNTY EMANCIPATION SOCIETY.
To promote the abolition of slavery, and of op- pressive laws.
This society was probably " the wave near the shore " of the great tidal wave that swept over a large part of the country fifty years ago. Dr. Kingsbury, in his historical sketch of the Presby- terian Church, of that day, says : " This church was organized during the excitement which grew out of the anti-slavery movement in the country, and no history would be complete which left this subject out of view ; not only because some of the founders of the church were among the origina- tors and active promoters of the movement in this section of the State, but because, also, from the diversity of sentiment in the congregation. For many years it operated as an irritant, and rendered the duties of its pastor more difficult and embarrassing."
On Monday evening, June 24, 1833, five men -Levi Whipple, A. G. Allen, Thomas Gurney, M. B. Cushing, and H. C. Howells-met at the residence of the latter, on the northeast corner of Van Buren street and Woodlawn avenue, to dis- cuss the subject of slavery and oppression, with a view to attempt the organization of a society, "on the broad principles of total emancipation, as soon as possible." After discussion, it was agreed that each individual present should invite his friends to another meeting, which was appointed to be held on the following Saturday evening, at the office of Mr. Whipple, which stood on what is now Muskingum avenue, between the residen- ces of Mr. A. C. Ross and William R. Hazlett. This was with a view to the formation of a soci- ety "for the Promotion of Freedom and Univer- sal Rights," and a committee, consisting of Messrs. Whipple, Howells, and Allen, was ap- pointed to draft a constitution, to be submitted for adoption to those who should assemble.
At that meeting, there were present, Levi Whipple, Chairman ; John Goshen, Thomas Gur- ney, Horace Nye, H. C. Howells, M. B. Cush- ing, John Quigley, Charles Mathews, William Joiner, and A. G. Allen. The latter acted as Secretary. The committee appointed, presented a constitution, which was adopted, and signed by all save Messrs. Goshen and Mathews.
The first public meeting was held. July 4th,
1833, in the Zanesville Presbyterian Church, where, after discussion, the constitution was amended, and the name of the organization changed to "the Muskingum County Emancipa- tion Society, to Promote the Abolition of Slavery and Oppressive Laws." This constitution, though not numerously signed in the city, received the signatures of two hundred and twenty persons, in various parts of the county, within a short time.
October 26th, 1833. the monthly concert of prayer for the abolition of slavery was first held at the Stone Academy, and was continued many years thereafter, meeting in the basement of this church, on the last Monday of every month.
A Bible Class for colored adults, was also formed, and subsequently a Sabbath School for colored children : these classes afterwards entered the Presbyterian Sabbath School for whites, where they continued until the colored people were able to organize schools for themselves.
