Huch IS GENERAL WM. f. Packer 5
record in the Senate ef 1882, and such are
ais votes hPonl tlte subject Of. the prohibi-
fory iiquor law which passed the Senate
that year, as pro we'd bv the journal Of the
; ,aa;e, which is the oGly authorized record
of proceedings. Aud yet his pFtizsn
frlenJs, aud the unpiincipled press which
I..Jris hiul for Governor, are mean enough
a7d reckless enongh, to deny that he is or
yer ~ II favor OF ptohibition, and round
iy abuse ull who asssrt that he voted for
pr'.h.hliery liqnor laws We say again =
n4~e shcSs Senate Journals ia our once,
and can slow them, day, and date. and
page. 70 any man who wishes to see them,
c Sno desires to know the whole truth on
tc.s subject. And we will here remark that
nc: oily did Geni. Packer Make speeches
IN iLo Senate in favor Of the bill, and vote
as mere proved, but according to the we'll
remembered logic of the Bedford Gazette,
ne gaze tie casting rote on tie final passage
Of tbs neoEstrous Mime Liquor Lar.
For on looking al the faal vote, it will be
o5served'ihe bill passed BY II yeas to l5
nays. Consequently If Genl Picker had
voted nay, the bill would have been defeat
cd on it. final passage, by a lie vote, and
evidently HE gofe fof the bill was What sa
yed it.
l;It tie same reckiessness and disregard
nj the truth which has heretofore denied
ihat Packer Vas prohibitiouist, may also
deny that tie bill whici, passed the Senate
IN 1852 VAS prohibi;ory Maine Law.
fhc bid was ul7de up Of fifteen sections,
and IS therefore TOO long for publication
entire, but in order that all doubts may DO
removed on this peiat, and all mouths stop.
