The WHARF-Ttis we'll known that
this paper has for years advocated
the building Of a new wharf, or the
improvement Of the old one. We
have urged this improvement until
people became interested in it. We
had no other object in view, nothing
was hidden behind it, so fur as We
were concerned. Now comes tx" in
the Monitor, and charges that the adj
vocacy of the wharf, is done to d.
vert attention from the real issue,
which he says is License or no Ii
cense," for the sale of Intoxicating
drinks. Make the issue that if you
desire. We have no interest in the
matter, one way or the other. But
we will say if such crazy fanatics as
*" are to be the leaders in the
movement against License" they
will be handsomely wallopped at the
polls. With such men as *" no
great improvement can be advocated,
for the town, unless those favoriug it
are charged with being drunkards,
@hiskeyitcs, license men, &c. Away
wish such damnahle fanaticism.
