Speakers urged unity across temperance organizations, argued for measures limiting drunkenness, and called on Parliament to empower ratepayers in parishes to regulate licensing and the liquor trade. A public meeting in Free Assembly Hall echoed the convention’s goals with broad support from ministers and reformers.
