Unjust to itself.

The Lewiston Journal has the following
relative to recent article in this paper
The Belfast Journal ntimttes that il was not
necessary for the Maine democratic State con

tmrHhrc LEGISLATION, IL every body knows where
the democracy stand on the temperance u,its-

hutton was tabled 10 catch temperance votes, us

some deputy has NOT performed his duties with
proprirtN. Wouit! he have all police offices
abolished. all laws AGAINST crime repealed, be-
cause some officer has not performed his duties
ludlriouNly?
The editor of the Lewiston journal is
capable Of discussing II question with
ability, after having fairly stated the posi-
ton of his opponent. lie has no real
need to garble or misrepresent the state
mcnts OF a paper with which he takes
issue. except rs II confession that he can
not answer il when fairly quoted. When,
therefore, the Journal instead of man
fully copying the remarks of this paper,
contents itself with such garbling as ''the
Belfast Journal intimatcs," and ''our Bel
fast contemporary pretends," there under
lies the whole Il painful confession Of
weakness. A paper that cannot quote its
opponents language, and reply to it, has
no business with controversy.
The purpose of the democracy is to take
out of the temperance cause the hypocrisy

brought it into contempt Mr. Kimball is a

the class whose daily lives are better
help to the cause than all the penalties
that crowd the statute book. The dem
cratic party is full of such men. We
have no special authority to say what will
be done when the State administration
shall come into their hands; but we
venture to predict that such miserable
nonsense as the law against domestic
wine and cider will be repealed, and that
the contcmptible hypocrisy which floods
the State with liquor from the legalized
rum-shop nj Portland will be known no
more. Whatever of value the law may
have, as demonstrated by experience, will
be preserved; but no more of such tenn
perance rs the present party has inaugu
rated and lostered
In ltering our remarks through its edi
torial ukstand, the Journal completely
reverses our meaning. We said that the
present law places sherif1s under the di
rection OF the Governor, and asked if th'
