MIR. JOHN TODD gives the Greenback
State officials who are perambulating the
State making official speeches savage punch.
He says:
In reading the book of Jude, Chap. I-16, l
find the following: ''There are murmurers,
complainers, walking after their own lnsts,
and their mouth speaketh great swelling
words, having mems person in admiration be-
cause Of advantage" How strikingly illustrative
are these words of the men Of our times-the
office holders who are going to and fro through
ling through fear that they may lose their hold
upon the public pap they have sucked so long,
speaking s'great swelling words" and trying to
deceive the people for their own advantage.

THE Belfast Journal asks a question;
What do the real old fashioned Democrats
of Maine suppose have become of their par
ty friends from other states who have been
accustomed to lend their presence and voices
in aid of the election? Not one speaker OF
any prominence in that class is here. There
has been talk that scores of them would be
in Maine-but not one has appeared. Why
is it? The reason is plain. They all see
what ninnies the soft money Democrats OF
Maine are making of themselves and de-
cline to risk their political regulations with
them. This fact of itself should warn DEM
ocrats to keep out Of the trap.

THE argus found room yesterday for
column article from the Hon. George F.
Talbot setting forth a way in which the
National debt may be paid off in 200 years.
1t found room for an "open letter to
Blaine,'' from Mr.. Isaac 7. Hobson, over
half column long. But it did not find
room for short letter from Mr.. Almon
Young of Hiram, denying the charges of
bull-dozing his employees preferred against
him by an argus correspondent. 1t could
find room for proftless disquisitions on the
currency and for "open letters' that no one
save the writer and the proof-reader ever
read; but it could not find room to undo all
injustice it had done. A fellow feeling puts
it at the service of Mr.. Hobsop, whose
financial record is about as inconsistent as
its own. Motives of policy lead it to ap-
provingly publish the letters of Mr. Talbot,
whose financial views it was arguing against
but year or two ago. But no feeling OF
Justice toward man it has injured leads it
TO publish his correction of the error it had
fallen into regarding him.

Candidate Smith.
The Money He Lends and the Taxes He
Pays.
Bangor Whig.l

Joseph L. Smith has voluntarily come before
the public as the special champion of the poor
man. the special foe to usurers, and clamor-
er for equal taxation. Mr.. G. f. Jordan,
lifelong Democrat. printsa statement OF trans
actions with Smith in which the latter seems
to bear strong resemblance to old Shylock,
and instantly the Commercial denounces it as
"a malicious attack" The Commercial talk is
silly, but the answer put forward by Mr.. Smith
is sillier still.
He publishes some very funny certificates OF
his honesty and liberality signed by Corne-
Illus Murphy, W Henderson, G. Ell. Davis. Il.
D. Wadleigh, N. G. Gould, f. W. Stevens and
F. NJ. Cunningham-seven men who express
confidence in Mr.. Smiths business integrity. J"
These sgners state in their cards that they
have borrowed largely of Mr.. Smith, but do
not state whether ne still holds mortgages ever
them. They arc oil peu'"cra+s or esreenb back :i
these certificates of character are certainly Pc
culiar. Even if Mr.. Smith had been more
than generous with these seven men thai
would not prove that he dealt justly with Mr.
Jordan, and as Jordan gives dates and speclh-
cations, some better answer than these certi1-
Gates would seem to be required. !,
But these documents by Mr.. Smiths friends
are specially interesting in one respect-in the
illumination they give to Mr.. Smiths efforts
as champion of equal taxation" One oi
these parties says he has essn sa oooRp Supplied 6y
er saws 1--WE have also been supplied with
funds on interest by j. L. Smith ''to the
amount of $4,000; another says 81 have had OF
Major Smith 1000 for the purpose of lumber,
ing another says ''The last few years had
of the Hon. j. l.. Smith $4,000 another says
he has had in period of years sin the neigh
barhood of $4,000 from j. l.. Smith III lum-
bering operations.
Now ii the certificates thus produced by MI
Smith answer no other purpose, we think they
must be of interest to the assessors Of Oldtown
In his letter of acceptance Joseph l.. smith
said:
"Taaes are noac rery unequally borne. On
lars should be so changed that all species OF
property should bear their equal burden Of tar
alton.
Now we find that this wealthy money lendel

Republicans Abroad.

Republican voters abroad, who are regis
a word for you. Our citizens go to the polls
next Monday to administer lasting rebuke
to Greenback pretensions. We must make
our majority as large as possible, and to that
end we call upon you 10 come home and
place your votes in the ballot-box on that
day. The opportunity is one which should
enlist the cordial cooperation of every legally
qualified Republican voter who holds the
right of suffrage within our borders. There
fore, Republicans abroad, see to it that you
realize the duty incumbent upon you to
spare one day from business that your vote
may be counted in Maine upon the side of
the majority against the fusionists, and in
favor of sound political sentiment and finan-
cial honor.
EXCELLENT talk to Democrats by the Bel
fast journal: The hard money Democrats
of Maine have an opportunity at this election
to make record of which they can be proud
in the future. The Greenback plants simply
humbug and delusion. Nobody respects
it, nobody believes in it, nobody will hear of
it after this year. 1t is simply party expe-
dent for the purpose of the hour. But
there will be other and quite as dangerous
schemes, and just as unreasonable, brought
out in the future to boost into office the
Democratic managers. You have been and
will be asked to support these absurdities in
the name of Democracy. When thepurposes
Of the leaders ask you to assume all these
shapes to further their ends, can they ex-
pect you to go with them? OF course not.
You might owe something to the Democratic
party if it were true to'itself and it's prin-
ciples. But you owe higher duty to your
country and its welfare. Stand by them,
tten, and don't be wheedled, and twisted
an turned, just to place in office set OF
men who have no higher incentive than de-
sire for Office

1t looks very much as if other people IN Old

HONEST Truth: The election of the Re-
