The Press and the Amendment

Our contemporaries who have assumed
that the article in the PRESS of the Sd inst.
entitled "a Candid Warming was inspired
by anybody, or intended to express the view
of anybody, except the editor are mistaken.
1t was entirely an individual expression of
opinion, not suggested by anybody else, and
concerning which nobody in politics was
consulted or informed in advance. 1t was
not intended to have any political signif-
canoe, and has none.
General Dow, whose letter we cheerfully
print, appears to think that the people who
are asked to vote for an Amendment TO the
constitution have no business to question
the wisdom of those who propose it. Touch-
ing what he says about the service of the
PRESS TO the temperance cause, its temper
is too apparent to require reply. Nor
would we care to argue the matter under
er he is just.
The PRESS has made no point of defeat
ing the amendment, has urged no one to
vote against it, has printed the notices, re-
ported the speeches, published the letters
and the appeals of It's supporters without an
tagonism or criticism. We thou that
before voting we might without giving Of
fence take a brief space to suggest one or
two considerations which we feared its
friends were leaving out of sight.
We have no doubt, that the amendment
will be adopted. Still less do we question or
impugn the high and pure motives Of the
great majority of the earnest men and good
women who have been led to believe that it
will accomplish much more than we think
il will accomplish. We can have nothing
but respect for their labors and their faith.
In some way if not in the way they expect
their desire will have fruition. But this
does not affect our deliberate Judgment that
the adoption of the Amendment will not
avail, either Immediately or in future, to d.
minish the traffic in liquor. Upon this judg-
ment we are willing to take the verdict of
time and experience.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1884-09-06

The Rockland Opinion finds positive proof
that Gov. ROBBIE has prostituted the Grange
in the factor alleged fact, that man name.
Hall issued circular asking the Changers to
vote for Gov. ROBBIE and the further fact
that Gov. Robbie advocated the abolition of
the rule forbidding discussion in the Oranges
of partisan political TOPICS" If it can be
shown that Mr.. Hall was acting under the
direction of Gov. Robbie or at his suggestion
we admit that the Opinion has made a
point But that cannot be shown because
it is not true. Whatever Mr.. Hall may have
done he did entirely on his own responsible
ty and not at the suggestion of Gov. ROBBIE.
AS to advocating the abolition of the rule
forbidding the discussion of Bipartisan po-
itical topics' in the Grange Gov. Robbie
never did any such thing. The Opinion has
interpolated the word partisan" Gov.
ROBBIE did advocate the admission of politi-
cal matters, but not partisan political mat
tiers. On the contrary in his address on the
subject he distinctly disavowed any purpose
to introduce partisan political questions in
to the Grange. The rule of the Grange ex-
Guiding political matters, when rigidly ap-
piled, could keep out great many matters
which were of deep moment to Changers,
notably questions which were constantly
coming before the Legislature which were
in a sense political, and it was to admit
these that he advocated a relaxation of tie

ecome a Copiah?

The Argus occasionally publishes an al
legged extract from an alleged letter of Sena-
tor Edmunds alluding in uncomplimentary
terms to Mr.. Blaine. 1t published it yester-
day. The existence of such letter rests
upon very shadowy foundation. Nobody
pretends that he has such letter, and no.
body pretends that Senator Edmunds has
admitted writing any such letter. All the
foundation there is for it is the fact, or al
legged fact, that somebody thinks that some
years ago he heard letter read which he
thinks he remembers contained an uncom-
plimentary reference to Mr.. Blaine. This,
we admit, is better foundation than most
OF the charges against Mr.. Blaine which sp-
pear in the Argus have, for most of them
have none whatever.
