LOCAL POLITICS. A Temperance Delogation Calls Upon Mr. A. M. Wright. His Views Regarding Closing the Saloons and Theatres Sunday. Meeting of' the Ropublican City Central Committee. As M. WRIGHT ON TEMPERANCE. A committee, consisting of Messra, Crum, Goodspeed, Brown, Seoley, Stoddart, nud other prominent workers in the temperance cause, cnlied yesterdny upon Mr. A. M. Wright at his house on Jackson strect. Mr, Crum, who nas the spokesman, sald to Mr. Wright that they camo w the name of the Reform Ani- ance in order to ask him, since ho was o candidate Jor Magor, whether, 1 he was {otrusted with tho control of the City Governmont, he would enforce all the lnws aund ordivances, eapecially those In regard to closing saloons, thientres, nud other pluces of amuse~ ment on the Sabbath? Mr. Wright replicd romewhat hesitatingly that the question was raiher unexpected, aud coutd hordly be answered In a momont, *.1 cannot pledge mysolt to anything,” sald he.. “As I understand 1, the Mayor's oath of office binds him to cnforce the Jaws und to prevent thelr violatlon.

Lxcess must he strictly punished, and I belleve 1hut evory drunken man, b he whom he may, should feel the rigor of the law. Acegrding to my oplnlon, it is the chief duts of the Mayor to preservo the public peace and order, ut to allow everybody to cujoy llte after his own fashion, as long as he deesn’t nterfere with his nelehUors® rights in doing sv.” 480 you would net enforco the law in regard to the CLOSING OF BALOONS AND THEATRNS ON SUN- DAY sald one of the gentlemen. i * Only 80 far as the malotenance of order re- quires {t.

Laws arc a dead letter, it, instead ot protecting all, they give an opvortunity to s part of the peoplo to disturb another part in the enjoyment of the personal Hberty guaranteed them by the Constitution, Such lnws should only be rigidly entorcea wiica their violation disturns publie peace.” * Does pot this take plave In a high - degree when 3,000 saloons are open to the public Sun- day, Inviting to disurder, and when theatres and coucerts keep our youth from church-golug!” “ Omnfons vary on this potnt. You know the disnstrous results of the effort made in 1873 to carry out the law necording to your views, Ex- treme imeasures such as you advocate always miss thelr aim, If the Mayor of Chicago wero to follow vou, geutlemen, the result would b a reaction which uobody woutd wish,” “Can thinga be worse thun they are now, when liquor-gellers are leadinz youth every- swhere into temptationd” said Mr. Stoddart. * Yon know very well that it used to be much worsoand mwuch moredisorderly In Chicugothantt is at present.
