Gen. Roberts and Col. Smiths
"Open Letter."

The "open letter" of Col. Smith Of
Portland to General Charles w. Roberts
of Bangor, the democratic candidate for
Governor in 1875, was prominent feature
in the campaign of last year. That letter
while acknowledging the personal bravery
of Roberts, charged him with having been
in sympathy with the rebels, with having
left the Union army on that account, and
pointed to the fact. as an evidence OF his
rebel proclivities, that on his return home
to Maine he Immediately allied himself
politically with notorious copperheads like
Eben F. Pillsbury and Marcellus Emery.
One paragraph near the close of that
letter was as follows: I" Had all soldiers
"been as patriotic as yourself. General. it
"is quite easy to see that the Confederate
"cause would have triumphed, and that
1--WE should have had sundered govern
"ment; or if we had remained united, it
"would have been with slavery as the
"corner stone of the republic, with
JEFFERSON DAVIS as President, and
with ROBERT E. LEE as General-in
"Chief of our Armies"
The speech made by General Roberts
the other day in Portland in which he
eulogized Jefferson Davis and Robert E.
Lee, is indsputable evidence from the
mouth of Roberts himself to the truth of
the charge made in Col Smith,s letter
as to sympathy of Roberts with the re-
bellion. We commend his confession of
admiration for Lee to the attention of
those democratic editors and orators who
poured their hot wrath upon Col. Smith
last year. 1t is very seldom that the
accusations against political adversary
are so substantially sustained aud vndi-
Gated by the accused himself as are those
of Col. Smith in his "open letter." Those
who question the Smith letter will be
plucky indeed to dispute the speech of
Roberts.
This year the democrats have candi-
date for Governor who was also in
sympathy with Roberts, Pllsbury and
Emery in regard to the Confederate
cause. From the manner in which the
soldiers at Portland rebuked Roberts for
his praise of Lee, we imagine they will
oppose with fiery Indignation John C.
Talbot, and do what they can to swell
the vote OF Governor Connor.

The rest remained outside on guard.
They made my brother come out from under
the bed," said Ann, and "asked where Square
was and said is he in the room' ? And did moi
tell, and said did not know at first.
Then he asked if they had been at the Clinton
riot and said did not know. Then he said, III
you don't tell. will shoot your - --- brains

They made him come out from under the bed
and started to shoot under the house. Mother
put the children under the house. She was
scared, and put the children under the
house. and they had gone round There
pointed under the house, and told them that no.
body was under there but the children. Then
they came in the house, but could not find Square,
and they went out right where he was, and
snatChed off the weather boards, only one in the
room, and the other went outside the door, and
turntd back the bed and made him come out, and
called him --- of -, and said he
must come with them
Mr. Quick says: 81 told you this if you had
listened to me you would not have come to this.
And they told him to put his shoes on, and | got
them and said will put them on, and had to put
them and could not tie them very well, and
some one said, Let the - shoes be; he don't
need any shoes I put my brothers coat on him,
and they carried him before them he walked be-
fore them"
"Now. what happened = asked the Senator.
"Nothng else," she said.
"What became of your husband 7"
"They killed hi n, she said. 81 never did find
him for a week until the next Saturday. 1t was
near about mile and half to the last bridge to
Raymond in the swamp"
"Who found him 7"
"a colored man," she answered, "who was run
ming off-keeping out of the way of the Rebs
and he came across the body, and went and got
spade and dug hole, and pnt blaze on the
trees all the way out and then we got for US, and
he loaned us wagon, and we went after him that
Saturday.
"You found his body p asked the chairman.
''rhe buzzards," she went on, "the buzzards
had eat the entrails but from the body down here
she explained by motion Of her hand what she
meant II was natural as ever. His shoes were
tied just as tied them. The skull bone was on
slightly, and the other was off. Some we didn't
find. We picked up the rings of the backbone.
We got the pocket-book, and there was the hat
hanging up, and there was this ling, she pointed
to silver ring on her finger it was on the tree,
and the black one, she had an ebony ring on the
same finger, the black one was on the ground
this one"
The evidence of this mans brother showed that
they took no part whatever in the fight at Clinton
but that both of them "broke and run" as soon as
the firing began. Square shot as he was escap-
ing. He was seen o be wounded. and so he was
assassnated by the democrats of the neighbor-
hood.
Scores of men perished in this way in Mississippi

repeal of the resumption act was suf-
ficiently explained by him in serenade
speech at indianapolis Immediately after
his nomination. With Augustus ochell on
one side and John Kelley on the other.
Mr.. Hendricks said to the crowd as
sembled below: "The platform adopted

repealed, and the repeal of that clause
"carries with it every feature OF the law

law worked against imitation. therefore
he desired it repealed. And Tilden now

DEMOCRATIC REFORM.
TIE 7owN OF WINDSoR ZNEvESaI7rGsAs,Tv Z I, :
ING ITS Affairs AFTER rOJhI u"
YEARS OF DEAOCRAI1C HoLH'
S13,443.17 Reported Missing.

The town of Windsor in this county has
been under democratic contro! since 1867
until last Spring,-a period of fourteen
consecutive years. Last Spring the re-
publcans gained the control in the
election, when it was discovered that
there was something wrong in the imam
clal affairs of the town.
In order to have the matter fully ana
fairly investigated, Hon. j. w. fatter-
son of Augusta, an experienced and
competent man in town affairs, was
authorized and employed to examine the
accounts OF the town and report at a
town meeting which is to be held at
Windsor to day.
Mr.. Patterson has completed in thor
ough manner the task Of examining the
accounts of the Selectmen and Treasurer
for the last fourteen years, and will re-
port to-day the startling fact to the tax
payers of that town that $l3, 443.l7 OF
the towns money cannot be accounted
for in any honest manner. The liabilities
of the town as found by him. and as
reported by the old board of Selectmen,
with the discrepancy between them, are
as follows:
Liability of the town as found
by Mr.. Patterson 30,S75.3S
Liability as reported by the Sc
lectmen 17,432.21
Difference between the state
ments of liabilities, $l3,
The town treasury has most clearly
been robbed of this last mentioned
amount. Into whose pocket it has gone
the Auditor does not say in his report.
That will be for the democratic Selectmen
of the last fourteen years to answer.
The valuation of Windsor in 1870 was
but $262, ,212. The robbery it will be seen
is five per cent. of the entire valuation OF
the town, an enormous theft as compared
with the valuation, far exceeding in pro-
portion to property, the great robberies Of
Tweed in New York.
This is an example of fourteen years of
democratic rule in our neighboring town.
For Reform party it is not an encourag-
ing exhibit Unlike large part of the
accusations of fraud and robbing made
against republican town officials by the
organs of the democratic party, this is
genuine case of stealing. We doubt not
the citizens of Windsor are satisfied with
their experience under democratic rule.
1t has cost them heavily. We hope they
are wiser for it.
