that an Investigation would clear him

The political contest IN Pennsylva- |
MIA this year bears very striking anal |
oQy 10 the one We closed in Maine Ia |
September. We bad q Republican /
party In the field, We had q Democratic /
party Ia the Aeld, and We had q third /
party In the field protesting special de-
v0ti0n 10 the doctrine Of prohibition. |
Maine has been pEohibiticn State for /
thirty yeaFs, and the third party Of pro-
hibitionista 10 this couhtly seemed 20
think that they had g particular patent
right On oil temperance topics, an3 /
they came 10 Maine 20 persuade /
us, q pTohibitoFy State, that tbs /
Republican party had better be disp0s-
sosaed 90 power and that the cause Of /
temperance should be handed over 10 /
the tender mereies and kind care Of the /
Democrstio party. l ind the same con-
dition OF things IN this State, with she /
exception that Pennsylvania has never
pronounced in favor Of prohibition, bat /
We hnd that the third party organized /
foE this purpose and with the declared /
intention Of defeating she Repahlican /
party and bringing the Democratic |
party into power. Nov whatever you |
may think, whatever may think, |
o. whatever any one else msy |
think, aa % the expedionoy OF |
inexpedlency Of prohibition, We will all |
egfee that the one party In tue United |
States which has never done anything |
for the cause Of temperance ls the
Democratic party (applanas) and here
in Pennsylvania, before II Maine, the |
third party, organised especially TO pro
mote tempeFanee, works obviously 10 |
the end os throwing u ell ever In she |
control Of the natuFal, inherited and
perpetual enemies Of tempegance.
