money democrat. He was nominated a
year ago as such, and is the same now as
then upon the money question for aught
that has been heard from him.
So, as we said above, the greenbackers
in Kennebec county have no candidates
for senators. What they will do about it
is not yet decided, except that there will
be serious revolt from the ticket, which
no power will be able to prevent.

Signs of Improvement Of Business
in the West.
Stetson, July 9TH, 1879.

The following from the Grain Cleaner for
July, 1879, published at Moline, Illinois,
gives indisputable facts that speak of the nl-
provement of business in the West 1t says
There seems to be one of two things very
evident, and they are either that the milllers
generally throughout the West have made
money in the past year or else they have
great expectations for the future. There has
certainly never been season in which so much
improvement of every kind has been made as
during the present season. The desire to i'm
prove and increase capacity seems to be al
most universal. New mills are being built,
and old ones improved and enlarged every
where, or at least wherever there is wheat
grown in sufficient quantities to make milling
an object
turning prosperity We believe that every
kind Of industry is recovering from the
prostraton forced upon it by the panic of 10,
and subsequent causes. In fact, brief tour
of inspection through part of the West sat
isles us that this is true. p hopeful spirit
prevails throughout, and great activity is oh
servable on every hand.
We hail these signs as favorable omens
for the future of this country and think that
in a short time the bad effects of the "hard
times" will be no longer felt by any class of
people who are industrious and willing to
work.
The coming fall trade will undoubtedly be
larger by far than ever before, and in all
probability the fall and spring trades will run
close together that the interval between
the two will scarcely be noticed.

which controlled the State convention.

Editor Of the Wing j. Courier:
As an old comrade of the Hon. Daniel F.
Davis, wish to give the editor of the CAM
paign Standard few items in regard to the
army record of Mr.. Davis, through the col
umns Of your paper. l was born and have
ever lived, in the town of Stetson; have
known Mr.. Davis all through life, and can
truly say that the first word of Islander in re-
gard to his character or army record ever
heard, saw in the campaign Standard of
July I'd, which is as gross he as ever was
told, and no man that was true soldier to
his country and to his comrades would ever
utter such base lie. enlisted the twelfth
day of August, 1863, was on duty until March
3lst, 1865, when was wounded at Dnwd-
die Court House, Va. Mr. Davis left Au-
gusta with me. was on duty with me at Wash
ingtOn, Annandale, Yorktown, James River,
Battle of the Weldon Railroad, Stony Creek
Station, Cattail Greek, also on the ten days
Wilson Raid, where it was almost continual
fighting for the whole time, which was enough
to establish good record for any soldier
this one raid alone. believe in giving ev-
cry man his just dues, republican or demo-
crat, but if the Universalist doctrine is true,
this man that signs himself IAN Old Soldier
will never receive his just reward.

Corporal Davis and General Rob-
erts.

The Maine Standard and Eastern Argus
attempt to justify the SANDER upon Cor
poral Davis by asserting that it is no more
than the republicans did to General Rob-
erts in 1876.
This shows how hard they are pressed.
Now the charge made against General
Roberts in Col Smiths letter, was not one
calling in question his courage. In the
letter Col. Smith said at is with great
satisfaction thas recognize your
personal bravery and your general pop
''ularity with your command" What
the letter did say about General
Roberts was not that he was a coward,
but that he resigned his place at the dark
est period OF the war. when the govern
ment was in need of every man it had in
the army, and came home to join hands
with Marcellus Emery, Eben F. Pillsbury,
and others of that stamp, in their course
Of opposing and embarrassing the admin
istratton in its efforts to put down the re-
bellion.
This was no SANDER, but the plain truth
known to our citizens generally, and new.
er denied by any democratic paper at that
time.
This is very different thing from the
outrageous lies printed by the democratic
papers about Mr.. Davis, which his com.
rades of all political parties have risen up
to stamp as untrue. 1t is not II Islander to
speak the truth Of candidates for office,
however severe that truth may be, but /,
is an infamous thing to publish such re.
ports as the democratic organs have con-
corning Davis, when there is not word
Of truth in them.

DEATH OF JUDGE SMITH.

Hon. Henry G. Smith died at his
home in Memphis, last Tuesday, of
heart disease. He had been in at
tendance at a meeting of the citi-
zens held for the purpose of consid>
ering city matters, and returned to
his home in apparently good health
and spirits. He was engaged IN
cheerful conversation with his wife
and daughters. says the Avalancbe,
when suddenly a palor was discoV-
cred on his face; he pressed his
hand on his breast and called out:
Z" Wife, I feel like fainting," which
were his last words. He fell to the
floor and expired instantly.
Judge Smith was at one time on
the Supreme Bench in Tennessee,
and was a lawyer of very
decided ability. He was a
man of pure character, and
commanded the respect of all who
knew him. He was a member of
the Senatorial branch Of the last
Legislature, where by his ability,
integrity and manly independence,
he won the admiration Of all. He
was q man of strong convictions and
had the courage to avow them on
every proper occasion. We regret
exceedingly to hear of his death.

THE GREAT QUESTION.

We are glad to see influential
Democratic journals like the Nash"
vile american coming out on the
State debt question. We have
feared the Legislature, which meets
next Monday, would simply ignore
that issue, and let the State go on
from bad to worse, until reputation
would become inevitable. Our fears
were based upon the policy adopted
by the party in power in the can
vass of last fall. Their platform
favored an equitable adjustment,
it is true, but we were left to infer
what they regarded as an equitable
adjustment. Their standard-bearer
on the gubernatorial ticket declined,
on every occasion, to say what he
would consider an equitable adjust
ment, though pressed on several Oc-
casions to do so.
But we are led to believe there
are men in that party yet who will
take bold grounds in favor of hon
esty. The following editorial from
the american of Thursday morning
is to the point:
THE Legislature which meets
Monday will be held responsible for
its dealing with the financial cOndi-
ton of the State. All admit that we
are burdened, and all know that pay
ment has not burdened the State.
Whatever else it may be, payment has
had no part in il. After trying the
policy of fatal esse, after fully satis-
tying ourselves that the State debt is
