Judge Pershing, the Democratic

man, but he told a correspondent the
day after his nomination, that he did
not believe in resuming specie pay

was possible to bring it about.
He thought the action in Congress
in passing law to that effect hasty,
unwlse and immature, as no adequate
means were provided for carrying il

thoroughly in accord with those so
emphatically an; ounced in the Erie

4 SUGGESTIVE INQUIRY.

To the Editors Of the Le'ciston Journal:

ance man. would like to know why it is neces'
sary for nearly every Democratic newspaper in
the country to constitute itself an apologist for
rum and rum-selling. Is temperance incompatible
with democracy Or what is the explanation OF
the universal pandering on the part of democratic
papers to the rum interest! b.

from an intelligent and well-known dem
ocrat in this county-one who is accus-
toned to vote the democratic ticket with
out scratch. We happen to know that
since Gen. Roberts, the democratic candi-
date for governor, announced that his
candidacy would be. on the platform Of
uncompromising hostility to the prohibi-
ton of drinking houses and tippling shops.
many democrats are seriously considering
with our correspondent. whether they can
consistently give their votes to such can
didate. Obviously. Roberts regards his
anti-prohibhion speech as his strong card,
and as raising the great issue OF this cam
paigD. He seeks votes not because he IS
"A democrat but because he is in favor OF
wiping from the Statute Book our laws
prohibiting clearinghouse and tipping
shops. Every vote cast for him will be
counted everywhere as against prohibition.

We have noticed with good deal Of in
terest the expression of the democratic pa
pcrs of Maine in regard to the political
contest in Ohio. And we find that the ex-
preston thus far made has been one of de-
sire for the success of the democracy Of
that State. Particularly has the personal
organ of General Roberts, the Bangor
Commercial, evinced lively zeal in the
canvass for William Allen.
Now when it is considered that the most
prominent feature of the Ohio democratic
platform Is that which declares in favor Of
farther initiating the currency, of larger
issues of rag money, of irresponsible
banking, and OF reputation of the pledge
of the government to take steps for the
redemption of its promises to pay in
specie, how inconsistent, absurd and dis.
honest is the position Of the supporters In
Maine of General Roberts. who while
avowing themselves to be for hard money
desire the success Of the rag money party
1t is well understood that if the Ohio dem
ocrats succeed in electing Mr.. Allen gov
ernor, standing as he does upon an infa-
ton platform. the result will be to
strengthen the advocates of more paper
money and reputation of the faith of the
government. and enable them to carry the
national democratic convention for their
peculiar doctrines. Let Ohio 60 demo-
cratic next fall, and it follows as certain
as fate that the democratic platform in
1876 will declare for imitation. II Mr..
Allen is beaten and Hayes elected infla.
ton will suffer a defeat that will cripple
and defeat it next year. Yet with the full
knowledge that these things are really SO,
the democratic press of Maine, claiming
10 be of the hard money, sound currency
party par excellence, earnestly hope tor
the triumph of the rag money ticket Of
Ohio. although that triumph would be the
heaviest blow that could be struck at
sound currency. Were the currency qres-
ton simply local, affecting Ohio alone, the
result would be Of little conquence; but
AS it as a question which affects every
State and every person in the Union as
much as 1t docs the State and individual
citizens of Ohio, the issue is of national
importance. concerning the voters of
Maine equally as much as the voters of
Ohio.
It is only just TO say that some of the
ablest democratic papers in the country
have preserved their consistency as hard
money advocates by denouncing the Ohio
democratic platform and exposing the
evils which would ensue were it to become
the prevailing policy of the country. but
the democratic papers of Maine. and not
ably General Roberts home organ, are
found casting their influence for the rag
money candidate and platform of Ohio.
Whether they have become converts to
the doctrine Of imitation, or whether they
believed in it while pretending to be OPP
posed to it, we do not undertake to say,
but we do say that whoever aids in the
election Of William Allen as governor of
Ohio in the fall election is logically Joined
to the rag money men and regulators
and has no claim TO be classed anywhere
