The letter of Col. Smith to Gen Rob-

the people as the patriot soldier. With
out considering Roberts claim to the
above title, the very fact of the gang
above alluded to speaking of any man
who served the United States during the
war of the rebellion as a patriot, is enough
to raise a suspicion that there is something
rotten in Denmark. Ii Roberts really

To tie Editor Of the Press:
must say for me- was considerably exercised
when first read in the Democratic papers the
charge that there had been fraudulent transactions
in connection with the sale Of the lands donated
to the agricultural College" l said to myself il
our Maine Republicans, whom have most cheer
fully supported are guilty of the base transactions
charged in the article of DR.. Jordan's, am done
with them. In fact the charge was made SO di-
rect that could not conceive in my own mind
how man could be so wicked as to make it with
out any facts.
know in the terrible days of the war, these
men were constantly filing their papers with false
statements to discourage the people and constant
and our leaders in the field. Then they were ex.
cited and angry and were in sympathy with the
rebels. / now remember that they have constant
ly slandered public men and grossly misrepresent
ed great many things.
But thought they had taken o new departure
There has been so much talk about a new Democ.
racy that had begun to believe that these men
had seen the evil Of their old ways, and had taken
to new and better practices. But they havn't. Ly
ing is their vocation. When they attempt to tell
the truth, they don't apparen ly feel at home, and
conclude that they aren't effective.
But the way in which the Press disposed Of that
Jordan lie, was to my mind, most admirable. 1t
was what they call a boomerang. Why, it had
not the slightest foundation. There wasn't the
slightest pretext for the bare faced statement. In
deed, it so completely shown to be lie with
out shadow of foundation, that l supposed
that common decency would have
prompted the Democratic papers to have washed
their hands of the dsgraceful deed of DR.. Jordan
by promptly and honestly asserting that they were
deceived. Can it be that Democratic editors i'm
agne that they can help their cause by publishing
such glazing falsehoods Do they expect to gain
confidence among decent men by tricks which
should disgust the lowest partisans?
Such base attempts should arouse Republicans
to realization of the character of the Democrat
ic leaders, who must be judged to some extent by
the newspapers they support
cannot too strongly express my admiration for
the care you have taken to expose the base lie to
yindicate our Republican state officers, and above
all to show the people of Maine the desperate
means the Democratic editors taking to de-
lude the people, 1t is squelcher; let it be passed
around. OLD REPUBLICAN.

Ito Mr.. Pillsbury's own account the Captain
was triumphantly acquitted by BRUSH
tribunal. We have not yet heard OF any
tribunal that ever acquitted Mr., Pillsbury
of the charge brought against him by
Capt. Boutelle, and Mr.. Pillsbury resorts to
very queer logic when he replies to Capt
IBoutelle by raising an entirely different
tissue Mr.. Pillsbury will never in that
way escape from the charge of having in
the hour of his country's sorest trial ''in-
cited resistance to the draft"
Meanwhile Capt Boutelle, in the Wing
of Saturday, disposes of Mr.. Pillsbury's
new charge as follows:
1.-THE desperate and reckless man Pillsbury has
seen fit to 60 back some sixteen years, and across
the ocean, to find pretcxt for audaciousy charging
the editor of this paper with the commission of an
infamous crime. The public have the slightest In
terest in the personal experiences OF individuals IN
their private capacity, but Pillsbury has made a
serious mistake if he supposed that we would hes
itate in exposing the atrOcious nature OF his cal
jimmy. On the contrary, we hail the opportunity for
exhibiting his interruptions and INDUSTRIOUS char
acter in all its deformty, by brief statement of
facts which matter ofpublic and official record.
In the year 1909, the present eultor OF this pa
per was the chief officer Of merchant ship COM
manded by his respected father, engaged in trad
ing between the cotton ports and Europe. AT
Liverpool, England, controversy arose with the
crew who wished discharge, to which they were
not entitled in foreign port, and they resorted
to an expedient familiar to ship-masters, that of
complaining to the Consul of ill-treatment in or
der TO attain their object. As in nearly all such
cases, the chief officer was singled out for the
principal complaints, and the crew, under the ma
nipulations just snch pettfogger as Pillsbury,
succeeded in obtaining the interference of the
Consul, who caused investigation to be
held. The charges and complaints were shown
to be utterly vindctive and untounded, and were
promptly dismissed by the experienced British
Magistrate before whom the inquiry was had, and
by the United States Consul, who expressed the
utmost regret that he had given any credence
whatever thereto. 1t is this case thus adjudicated
and disposed of by the representatives of two ma
and the circumstances Of which are
well known to a number Of the most respectable
ship-masters in Maine, that Pillsbury has the har-
dlhood to make the basis OF deliberate and out
rageous SANDER. 1t has been deliberate on his
part, for no person ever told him the falsehoods
which he has uttered, and there is hardly re-
deeming syllable Of truth in the ibeous TRADE of
his invention. Right here, as in the case of the
Franklin Patriot, he will ind himself confronted
by an incontroyertibe record. and to his cost.

DEAOCRdCY IN OHIO.

At length the campaign in Ohio is opened.
and we begin TO hear from the leaders OF
the democracy in regard TO the initiation
doctrine in their platform. Allen. Pendle-
ton and Cary have spoken, all adhering
to the platform adopted in the democratic
State convention. AS specimen of their
ideas we quote from recent speech OF
Mr.. Cary, the democratic candidate for
lieutenant governor:
Congress passed law ncreasing, by very
small amount, the legaltender circulation. Presi-
dent Grant, true to his instincts, and to carry out
the behests Of coupon-clippers and National bank
ers, interposed his veto. The news went upon the
lightning's wing to all the countries Of Europe,
and instantly the wires were made hot by the con-
gratulations Of the money rings Of London, Frank
fort, Paris, and Vienna to the gold gamblers Of
State and Wall streets. Grant had saved the
nests of thieves, and given them a new license to
plumber this great people!

QUEER LOGIC or MIR. PILLSBURY.

VtE II LVUlC VT IN ~ 4 lLLtoDC
The editor of the Bangor Wing some
time since charged Z. +. Pillsbury with
having "incited resistance to the draft"
Whereupon Mr.. Pillsbury published a
card in the Standard addressed to Capt.
Boutelle, telling him that in making the
foregoing charge she was liar"
And then Capt. Boutelle rejoined by
citing numerous extracts from the Frank
lin Patriot edited by Mr.. Pillsbury during
the war, which TO an impartial jury would
seem to fully justify his charge against
Mr.. Pillsbury Of "inciting resistance to the
draft"
All this occurred some weeks since. and
during the greater part oil that Time MIR.
Pillsbury has been absent on western
tour. But the Standard from week to
week during Mr.. PiIlsbury's absence has
given mutterings Of the fearful wrath to
come when Mr.. Pillsbury should return.
Well. Mr.. Pillsbury did return week before
last, and everybody expected that the last
Standard would show some justification
for his having SO loudly called Capt. Bou-
,elle q liar. But on that point, the Stand
ard apparently overwhelmed by the pom
derous weight Of the testimony adduecd
by Capt. Boutelle, is silent as the grave.
But in abandoning his former charge
Mr.. Pillsbury snaps at Boulelle in one of
u
the most odorously inelegant aud malig-
nant editorials with which the olfactories
Of even his own readers were ever assailed.
He accuses him Of sone dreadful crime on
