Improvement OF Business.

From the Portland Price Current
Improvement of Business. We observe a
very decided improvement in nearly every
class of business in this city, as will be no.
ticcd in our review of the markets. And one
of the most noticeable evidences of the in
crease is the fact that the aggregate duties
paid at the Custom House was more than
double this year in the month of June what
it was last year.
Mechanics too, are about all employed now
though there is yet surplus among the labor
ing class, which We hope soon will find re-
munera.ivc employment.

FROM 4 COMRADE.
Manifold, Maine, July 4, 1879.

Manifold, Maine, July 4, 1879.
Editor Wing J. Courier:
1t was with pleasure that learned that the
ID. +. Davis rs its standard bearer. When
the announcement of his nomination reached
this section, there was a general belief that
for once Il republican nominee would take
the field, against whom, even the classifying
democratic press of Maine could say naught.
With regret realize that even Mr.. Davis,
whose life has been one of unblcmished hon
or. whose war record was untarnishcd and
patriotic, is now being maligned by the same
foul democratic press, which was so ready to
advocate the principles of treason.
Mr.. Davis and l were comrades in war,
and a drawer and more faithful soldier never
faced rebel horde and l cannot read the
falsehoods in circulation about his war rec
ord, without offering some protest. Could
these treacherous falsifiers have seen him, on
the 10Th of June, 1864, in front of Petersburg,
when surrounded by rebels, he fought until
nearly every comrade near him had fallen, and
then retreated, bearing away with me, awound-
ed comrade, we believe they would, through
very shame cease to dcfame the patriot sol
der who now leads, and who sciH lead his
party to victory.
The truth is, Daniel F. Davis was q true
and brave soldier. He was my close COM
panion in war. and is dear to the loyal hearts
of his comrades who, with him, tonight to
overcome the powers of treason. Fellow
soldiers, shall we stand idly by and offer no
protest against the vile course taken by po-
litical opponents. with hope to defeat our
nominee? No. Let the ballots of the SOL
ders of Maine, tell to the world that faith
full and patriotic soldier is honored by a
faithful and patriotic soldicry.

The Boston Globe, which is well informed
rs to the plans of the fusionists in Maine says
Although there are three candidates for gov
crnor, yet the fight will hardly be triangular.
as the democrats will pay very little attention
to their standard bearer but will devote their
entire energies first, to securing for them
selves members of the legislature, and, sec
ondly, to helping defeat their own enemy.
The main fight will be in the close represent
alive districts, and, if the opposition act
unitedly, they are morally certain to win.
Last years election was an eye-opener to all
the people of Maine.

First-For having resorted to revolution

Second-For having injured the business
interests of the country by forcing the

misses were rendered them prior to the close
of the last session
'rhir,l-For having attempted to throw
away the results of the recent war by again
eevating State over national sovereignty.
Fourth-For having attempted with
honorable exceptions. to damage the bust
ness interests of the country by forcing
silver coin in circulation of less value than
it represents, thus swindlng the laboring
man and producer by compelling him to
accept eighty-fve cents for dollar, and
thus enriching the bullion owners at the
expense of the laborer.
Fifth-For having removed without
cause. experienced officers and employees
of this body some of whom served and
were wounded in the Union army, and
with appointing men who had, in the rebel
army, attempted to destroy the Govern
ment.
Sixth-For having instituted a secret

the fundamental principles of the Consti-

Seventh-For having held up for public
admiration that arch rebel, Jefferson

served under the rebel flag from holding
commissions in the army and navy.
Tenth-For having introduced large

tnat po1ht forceu It's way through heavy
masses of the enemy into the Union lines.
ID. F. Davis was with his regiment through
all this
Kautz's division was soon after put on pick
ct duty at Sycamore Church, and in the fall
of 1864, the line was attacked by heavy
force of the enemy. The Union line being
much extended and without support, suffered
severely, losing many men, killed, wounded
and prisoners. Among the latter were Dan
el f. and Stephen Davis. Stephen died in
the hands of the enemy victim of hard
treatment and harder fare.
Daniel y, survived the horrors of the enc
my's prisons, but when exchanged his splen-
did physique was entirely wrecked. That
such constitution as he once possessed was
ruined by the hardships through which he
passed is doubtless more inconvenient than
dsgraceful to him. That he was studious
while in the army and since; that he worked
hard then and since; that he was devoted to
high principles then and since, is to his hon
or; and to these facts are due his nomination
for Governor of Maine.
The thousands Of enlisted men and the Off
GERS who led them, and all good and true men
will honor such conduct AS his when the truth
is known. Mr.. Davis sought no rank in the
army, not hes he now sought the high Office
for which y great party has made him its
candidate. IL 1t shall appear that the fores
going statements are true it will doubtless be
