The q Sentinel - Again,

La the last Dover Sentinel, the editor bos
long. .article in reply to US, which is "windy {"
IN the extreme. AS almost the whole of il is
taken up IN charging US with misrepresentation
and falsehood, We pass it by, and sympathize
with the editor in his distress, seeing that his
craft has been knocked into pieces by Nestor"
and these are the only things left for him TO
cling to.
we had expected that our correspondent,
" Nestor," would have engaged the attention of
the Sentinet, as his article was the " prouosi.
eoh' and ours a mere "corolary" PERHAPS
the Editor felt his inability to demonstrate
We are accused of malicously falsifyino
"hen we say he opposes the Prohibitory Law,
yet he Immediately quotes his language in
favor of Restrictive or License Law. This
he calls, knowing the difference between
tweedle-dum" and tweedle-dee!" !" If he
means to say that Prohibitory Law is /" twee.
dle-dum and License Law is "tweedle-dee. "
we must Confess our inability to see that they
are the same. We never before knew that a
Prohibltory Law and License Law were in
tended for the same purpose!
Again, he says, that we charge him falsely
when we say that the editorial was the ex.
pressed opinion of the "wre- -pullers" of the
party. How dare you, Mr.. Sentinel. take tho
authority to oppose, and urge the repeal Of n
law passed by an American Legislature, with
out knowing the convictions of the partv nnon
the subject! Might we not readily suunoss
that the organ of the party represents the
Pdrty' and not an individual in the party! Do
you dare say what shall, and what shall not he
lhe position of the party, without consultinu
win the members of the party! What is
meant Oy the declarations, in your reply, that
'he American party will not be guilty of an act
oi ioiiy similar to that committed by the Anne.
rican party in Pennsy ylvamia at is their sa ss,
course to stand alone and untrammeIed 6r
just so sure as they amalgamate, lust so certain
are they defeated % This seems like de6n;rc
the position Of the party and laying out its a
luture policy, whether it be the opinion of the 4
editor or the wire-pullers." We like to see h
manly ana independent action, and if this is u
FOUR determined policy, we thank Won for tho .
lotlhcatlon. We most certainly did exnac, h
ne american party to father it's own oifsprinr st
lnd nourlsh and support it, and it is TO be re-. 81

of what would be the result of your course. ca
nd what would be the probable course of the al
ends of Prohibition. We firmly believe thai in
ad the American party stood up boldly for pc
