History Repeats itself.

The Rockland Free Press thinks that
there are democrats in that county who
will be dissatisfied with the nomination of
Greeley, and in number sufficient to give
Knox County to the radicals. 1t says
If good management governs the republicans
in this county, it is among the probabilities that
it may be redeemed this fall. We 90 for liberal
treatment for the democrats who accept Grant
instead of Greeley.
The plan won't work. 1t has been tried
before, in effect, and failed. The gospel
according to st. Luke says
And the devil, taking him up into high mountain,
Showed unto him all the Kingdoms of the world in
moment OF time.
And the devil said unto him. All this power will
give thee, and the glory of them; for that is de-
livered unto me, and to whomsOever l WILL give
it.
If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be
thine.
We don't believe that the first demo-
Graf will PROSTATE himself.

Week bstore last, the wife Of Tyler H.
Wasgatt Jr, whit from her fathers
house in this city to her home in Hamp
den, accompanied by her little girl. She
had along with her little bonnet trunk,
such as ladies often take in travelling.
On landing at Hampden from the steamer

one of those whom the new liquor law
enlons to be vigilant in ferreting out the
illegal sale Of intoxicating liquors, accos-
ted her. and demanded that the trunk be
unlocked, that he might examined its con-
tents. The key had been accidentally left
at Belfast, so the trunk could not be
opened. The official then took up the
trunk, gave it a shaking, and requested
the keys of the bystanders, that he might
try them upon the lock. A crowd gath
cred around, and in presence of them all
this lady and her little child never sub
| ected to those insults from an officer of
the law whose duty it was to protect
rather than abuse the detenceless. Mr..
Wasgatt will be remembered as for many
years a clerk on the Sanford steamers,
and most worthy gentleman, at present
engaged in the manufacture of lumber.
Mrs. Wasgatt is the daughter of Freeman
Miller, of this city, and a lady of the
highest responsibility. And the pretence
of this deputy sheriff was belief that
Mrs. W. had liquors in her trunk!
Now what the friends of this lady de-
sire to know, and what the people of the
state have a right to be informed Of is
whether this proceeding is sanctioned by
the head of the state administration? Are
the ladies of Maine who may be travel
ling. to be subjected to such insults unre-
buked by the proper authority2 1t will
not do to say that this deputy sheriff is
alone responsible 1t is not So The in
tersiied sheriff smelling, cider law, pass
ed last winter, has this provision
SECTION 1. 1t shall be the duty of sherils to
| obey all such orders and directions relating to
the enforcement and execution Of the laws OF
the state, rs they shall from to time receive from
the Governor.
This is portion Of the cider law, and
places sherifs under the immediate direc-
ton of the Governor. Now has Cover
nor Perham issued ''such orders and d.
rectons" as compel his subordinates to
search the bonnet receptacles of the ladies
they may find travelling unprotected?
viii some one Of the Governors organs,

how this is? The people OF Maine care
nothing for such poor instruments of OPP

pay their respects next September to the
