The Shylock Candidate.

The Bangor Commercial finds its voice at
last and says the charges brought against
Joseph L. Smith deserve but little notice,
are malicious, and are ga boomerang" The
strong corroborative evidence of the truth
OF Mr.. Jordan's letter, published on our
local page, and furnished by gentleman in
this city, will be read with interest in con-
nectton with the Commercials language.
That evidence certainly is not due to malice,
and deserves the LOtice of every laboring
man.
The only proof the Commercial offers in
defense of Major Smith is letter
signed by seven men who are In HE employ,
saying that Smith never swindled them
Our correspondent throws some light, too,
on the circumstances under which that let
ter was written. As proof of Smiths inno-
cence of the charge brought. against him the
letter is worthless. The only value it has is
the illustration it affords of the power he
holds over his men, power gained by means
which the Greenbackers so unsparingly con-
denim, and ruthlessly exercised. The name
of our correspondent, Mr.. Davis, is familiar
to many in this city, and they know his
statements can be relied on. Those state
ments arraign the Greenback candidate for
Governor as a Shylock and bull-dozer Of
his employees. Do workingmen or any other
class of honest men intend to vote for such
a candidate?

The National Debt.

The debt statement of September shows
'very satisfactory decrease of the debt less cash
in the Treasury, namely, S3,321 ,39o.95 Tor the
month. In this account of course, appears
only the balance of receipts from taxation and
expenditures for the support of the Govern
ment, as no part of the receipts during the
month from sale of bonds appears in this state
ment otherwise than as transfer OF cash IN
bank to cash in the Treasury, or in reduaon oil
cash ON hand and of bonds due. The balance
of cash on deposit in the banks has been re-
duced during the month from $50, ,537 ,170.11 TO
s25, 800 $40 10, so that the banks have paid dur
inc the month S61 ,016 1896 Another part of
the statement, however, shows that the actual
reduction in called bonds outstanding was only
S37 ,596, ,G40, so that the banks appear to have
paid in over S23 100000 more than the Treas
ury required for the redemption of bonds.
The fact is that the Treasury still holds about
S16000,0OO drawn from the banks, in excess oil
its needs, and beyond the amount which IL

Those Islands.

A Democratic campaign circular is being dis
tributed, which charges that the expense OF
selling State islands ON our coast, was at one
time S1O5O.99, and another 800 more than
the amount received for them. To which a
correspondent of the Augusta Journal replies
by calling attention to the Land Agents and
Treasurers reports, from which it appears that
the receipts at both auction sales were VI ,4l6.-
65. and the whole expenses were 81 $3.50. On
account of mistakes in the titles, the Legisla-
ture subsequently refunded to occupants
$53S17. Total cost to the State above receipts,
$4O4S7, instead of $1,75O.99 as charged in the
campaign circular.
The islands, as we have already explained
had never been considered of sufficient value
to pay for hunting up the titles and selling
them. This was done by the order of the Leg
isature of 1S76-not because any income was
expected from them-but as duty that the
State owed to her people. The islands were
sold by auction for all they would bring. me
mistake in selling islands that the State dlo
not own was one of those errors which nave

ANOTHER LETTER FROM JORDAN.

OLDTowN, Sept. 3, lSI9-9 a. III.
To the Editor of the Whig and Courier:
SIR. In your issue of yesterday you gave me
space for letter concerning my treatment by
Joseph L. Smith. l ascertain by his followers
and the men that he furnishes with money TO
try and elect him to the office that he SO much
Graves that he has been around to get some
kind of certificate to try and show to the peo-
ple that know him least that he is an honest
man.
Yesterday afternoon he sent his attorney to
notify me that he had foreclosed on the mort
gage that he had on my wife's house His
attorney brought me two bills, one calling for
S519 and the other about 5000; but after he
saw that was not to be fooled, he concluded
to take the S519.
As to the citizens of Oldtown l am willing to
compare my standing with Smith, mentally OF
morally AS to Smiths dealings would like
to refer to Asa Mcmahon, Esq. OF Eddington
and to others whose property is not under con
troll of j. L. Smith. Ask Mr.. McMahon II

The City Ticket.

The Importance of electing our Represen-
tative ticket in this city must not be under
estimated. This Winter, certainly, when
the subject of State valuation comes up, we
want ex-Mayor Butler to represent the inter-
ests of Portland in the Legislature. lie Is
thoroughly informed in the matter, has
made careful study of the subject, ana
will present it in the most clear and con-
yincng manner to the consideration OF his
fellow members There is not man in the
city of Portland so well equipped for the
work o1sone who can handle it to better ad
vantage. If the city consults its true inter
ests it will elect Mr. Butler. This is mat
ter that concerns every business man ana
all the property interests of Portland.
And with Mr.. Butler we want a solid Re
publican delegation, a delegation that will
be united, that will be in sympathy with
him, that will, acting as unit upon ques-
tions affecting the city's welfare, make its
influence most powerfully felt. OF course
the Republican party also wants the Repre-
sentatives there because they are Republic
cansr That too is a reason why it is desira-
BILE for the city to send them there. The
next House will be Republican, and if the
Portland delegation is in political sympathy
with the majority it can exercise wider
and stronger influence, and command
more favorable response to its appeals OF
demands That is the reason why, apart
from political considerations, the city
should send solid Republican delegation.
We do not underrate those political consid-
erations. They are of the utmost impor-
tance. We trust no Republicans underrate
them. But, naturally, they only appeal to
men in the party The other consideration,
that upon which we have dwelt. appeals to
all citizens, and should have weight with
them when they go to east their votes.
The ticket has now been completed by the
nomination of Mr.. Nathan E. Redlon, man
whom all who know him will recognize as
worthy of it. He is mechanic, a mason by
trade, and is held in high esteem by his
fellow-craftsmen as well as by all others who
know him. He has been member OF the
City Council, wherein be served to general
acceptance, and is familiar with the inter-
ests and needs of the city. AS representa-
tive of the mechanical industries of the city
he can do excellent service in the Legisla-
ture.
Now let us go to work for the ticket and
give il q rousing majority next Mouday.

The California Victory.

The Republican victory in California is
sweeping. The Republicans carry the State,
electing their candidate for Governor and
three Congressman certainly, and the pro-
liability is strong that they have elected the
fourth. This not only means that the
Republicans control the State but means
also that if by any chance the Presidential
election is thrown into the House the vote
of California will be given to the Republican
candidate. A victory of this nature is
good omen for the Republicans of Maine.
Let us respond to California with astr;umph
as decided as her own.
