HIS RECORD


The coalition candidate for Senator from
Western Oxford, is hardly u fair repre-
sentative of our people. During the dark
days Of the rebellion, his ncighbor, say,
his principal residence was in Canada.
Personally, we do not know the man, but
we believe the loyal citizens of Oxford
County have not forgotten the war and
the sacrifices which they made to assist
in prosecuting it to successful termina-
ton. While they bear this memory in
mind. and while it is freshly called to
their attention daily by the vacant chairs
at the frcsidc, and the empty sleeves and
useless limbs that are exhibited on our
streets. they will never voluntarily give a
man the right to prefix "Hon.' to his
name. who bore no share of the public
burden in those dark days, but who skulk-
ed in a foreign country until the conflict
was over. and then returned to ENJOY the
blessings which others had saved from the
threatened wreck. No soldier, no man
of honor will vote for skcdad1lcr.

REBELS TO THE 'FRONT.'.

A certain class of men in Maine, be-
lieye that our people have forgotten the
war. Our lenient policy toward the
South. and the restoration of so many
southern rebels to power, have had ten
dency to lead some to think that the past
has been forgotten. We see this fact very
plainly by the conduct of the present
campaign.
First we are invited to meet body. of
our citizens and with them to discuss the
questions of national finance. We hard
" enter upon this conflict which threatens
to divide our party before Eben F. Pills
bury. one Of the most violent of North
crn rebels, comes to the front and takes
from our opponents the control of their
own organization. He says We are not
70 discuss national affairs nor war issues,
but affairs of State. He Is particularly
anxious that we should not refer to the
war, because the people object to his rec
ord ON that difficulty Tie wrote his own
record. and we give our readers the ben
Ell, of part of what he wrote. He is the
man who denounced greenbacks as shin
Masters. the soldiers as Lincoln hirehngS,
and who declared that Lincoln's record
would stink and shine like rotten mack
crel bv moonlight No wonder he does
not wish 10 discuss national affairs. But
what is It that brings this man again 70
the surface in political affairs; 1t is the
hope that by divcrtinE our attention from
the questions at issue, and b, CRYING stop
thief. he may be placed in power, and
point to the fact, from the United States
Senate. that the people of Maine have
forgotten that they were loyal TO the
Union. He sees men Ike himself who
malicrcd the martyrcd Lincoln, and de-
nouuccd the war, set in high places from
other States, and he believes the people
Of Maine are ready to do likewise Are

SMITH ON TAXES.
PREcEPT AND PRACTICE.
iBangor Whig.)

tBangor whigJ
Candidate Smith, in his letter of ac-
ceptance, expressed great sympathy with
the tax payers, and made a bid for popu-
larity by the following plant against
inequality of taxation:
"Tares are Ho,o cery anequdlly borne
oar lars should be so changed that al spe-
cics Of property should hear their EQUAL
BURDEN or TAXATION"
Candidate Joseph l.. Smith has long
been regarded as one of the wealthest
men of this neighborhood, and has for
years been known as one of the prominent
money-lenders of the Penobscot valley.
This rich man, who expresses such a
desire for equal taxation, paid in Oldtown
the present year on his property on as
sessment by officials of his own political
party, the enormous sum of
SIIL7j.
One hundred and clccen dollars and
ssraty-fee cents is the amount contributed
by this wealthy refomer toward e2',ol,z-
ing the burden of taxation,
As the rate tax in Oldtown is % per
cent the tax assessed represents Joseph
L. Smiths taxable property as amount
ing to just
S3.S53.45.
How anxious this reform candidate
must be to have AL species Of property
bear their equal share of taxation" Can
it be that all of his property except some
four thousand dollars is invested in Gov
eminent bonds and thus exempt from
taxes; No, it is hardly propable that he
Is so extensive q bond-holdcr as that.
Yet he is taxed upon less than four thou
sand dollars, while few have any doubt
that he will spend more than twice that
amount for political purposes in The pres
ent campaign.

hard for the people of Oldtown-where

DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS IN MAINE

Bangor, Nov. 26.-The Wing will to.
morrow morning state that Boutelle of the
republican committee has obtained positive
evidence that the democratic managers
have been secretly substituting altered and
amended returns, contrary to law. The
constitution aud laws require that the re.
turns sent to the secretary of state BY the
town clerks shall be signed and sealed up
in open town meeting. Mr.. Boutelle, the
Wing will assert, has evidence that the
clerk Of a certain democratic town in one
Of the threatened counties forwarded his
returns Immediately after the election in
precise accordance with his record. AZ late
as the second week in November this clerk
was informed by other town officers that a
prominent democrat requested q new return
made, as there was some trouble with the
returns from that and other democratic
owns. The clerk, it is asserted, did make
a new return, which was forwarded about
the middle Of November, in which he cor.
rected the errors and supplied the omissions
complained of, although the town record
shows them just as they appeared in the
original returns.
