The Crucible: How is Danforth a contrasting character to Judge Hathorne?

Question

As you can tell, this is a question that is most likely on a worksheet (and it is)

I'm being asked to explain how Deputy Governor Danforth is a foil character to both Samuel Parris and Judge Hathorne.

Now, I know how he's a contrast to Parris, but I haven't the slightest idea of how he is so to Hathorne.

So if someone could give me a theory as to how Danforth is in contrast to Hathorne; I would be very happy.
