Judge Wells losing his discretion. and
his violent opposition to the Maine
Law
In that Alfred speech Of Judge Wells, n
f..-l-

In that Alfred speech OF Judge Wells, a'
reported by his friends, he said ..
II any man in this State should purchase iq,
uor in a foreign country or in New York, and
give his note for IL, payable in given time, that
note by this law is not collectable. When the
note Is DUE the creditor presents IL for collection
but tae debtor declines payment-he Is not LA.
bic under the Maine Law-and so he cheats his
honest creditor out Of his just dues. This Is the
morality OF the glorious Maine Law.
Now all who are at all familiar with the
+" Maine Law" know that the provision
alluded to by Judge Wells (though missta-
ted by him. has been in force ever since
lSl6. The law enacted that year contains
the following:
SECTION 10. No action shall be maintained,
upon any claim or demand, whether il be note,
account, bond order, dralt, acceptance, or other
security or evidence whatever. made, had or CIV

gotiable paper, in the hands Of holders bonaide,
and for valuable consideration, withou, notice,
expressed or implied, Of the consideration.
The law enacted last winter did not alter
this section, but simply declared it to DO
still in force. Yet now Judge Wells would
seek to impress upon the people that It Is
some new enactment Of that tyrannical Re-
publican Legislature. Shame on such a
course Judge Wells is fast losing the res
