FRIDAY Morning. June 81. 1878.
Record of the Grecnback Candi-
date.

The friends of Major Smith. the green
hack candidate for Governor, seek to
evade the effect of his record in the legis-
lature when contrasted with the platform
upon which he now stands. hy saying that
we did not object II his votes in the legis-
lsture at the time he gave them
and ought not to do SO now. We
have never objected to Mr.. Smiths
votes in the legislature. We don't
object to them now We have simply
shown his record in 4 Q Senate and that IL
is opposed to the greenback platform, and
inquired how a man with such record
coul consistently take the nomination
which he has taken, or party pledging
itself to honesty support him. Either
Mr.. Smith voted wrong "a a Senat II and
is right now, or he voted right when "A
Senator and is now wrong A. green
hacker At any rate the discrepancy be-
tween his position upon certain questions
in 1872 and 1873 is of such marvellous
proportions that we doubt if he or any of
his friends can remove il. He would be
a bold man that would undertake to do IT,.
In like manner we find no fault with Mr.
Smith for being a bondholder if be got
his bonds honestly, but we do question
very seriously the propliely or decency or
honesty of nominating a bondholder As a
candidate for Governor upon n platform
denouncing bondhol lers and credit mon
gers Take 1t all in all, the nomination
of Mr.. Smith, in consideration of the
platform on which he is placed and his
record as a politician and legislator as
well as being bondholdor and very rich,
is curiosity such as was never seen be-
fore in Maine politics. Here is the record,
let any greenbacker deny It if he can:

OF the Treasury Is hereby authorized and
directed to suspend the purchase of u. 5.
