A Serious Outrage.

Friday night Mr.. Albert G.. Corliss, messen-
ger for the United States District Court, was
attack ed by three men at Peaks Island, and
after being roughly handled was thrown down
violently, when his assailants fled. Mr.. Cor
liss and his family have been camping out at
the islands, and on several occasions lately it
has happened that the sheriffs have gone down
to the islands in the same boat with Mr. Cor
liss. The latter thinks that the men noticed
this and thought he was aiding the sheriffs in
spying out where they kept the liquor. In
fact when the men set upon him they called
him a government spy.

THOSE MEMORANDA
A Folsom to the Rescue.

Major M. M. Folsom, who sustains the ar
duous role of next friend to Candidate Smith,
has written letter to the Bangor Commercial.
We give the material part of the letter.
Those ''mems" believe are correctly pub
lished. The facts, l, as one of the State Com,
mittee, of last year, am fully cognizant OF ana
are simply these. In November last proml-
nent member of the Republican party, then OF
formerly holding an important State once,
gave to Maj. Smith paper with request tlat
he would copy or at least embody it in his mes m
sage; one item was on finance and the other
on ''bulldozing." Upon examination the MAJ
having heard as we all did, the charges OF pull
doing in the South, imprisonmentS IN otlel
States oppressive threats in still others, anu i
even in this State, concluded that IL was .ao
duty of the State to protect the right OF sui
rage in its own limits, and as proper suoJect
for State legislation he would insert thepr"tce-
pie suggested by that item -,
The item in regard to finance he declined 70
insert. and subsequently returned the oflgllai
MSS. with the first mem" STATING !haI uue %I,+
mination Upon reflection the Maj. thougn55
his silence upon the subject OF finance wouiu
very likely be misconstrued and he desired W
express his reasons for not referring 10 ~ ~
length-that finance was a national ana quiz
doing a State subject for legislation and coun-
selling obedience to the laws. This is the sec
ond "mem.'' l cannot possibly conceive
wherein the abandonment of Greenback prln-
ciples'' appears in the transaction.
Now the question naturally arises why did
the prominent Republican wish to insert items
in the Greenback message. was not present
at either of these meetings so did not hear the
conversation-but from what 1 do know am
satisfied it was perfectly honorable to MAJ.
Smith. That object will clearly appear in the
correspondence between G. A. Boutelle OF the
Wing and Courier and Maj. Smith, and as the
Wing and Courier has published the article
from the Boston Journal with its comments
have the consent of Maj. Smith to print those
letters entire whenever Mr. Boutelle will give
his permission-and request Mr.. Boutene to
publish those letters in his paper in full assur.
ing him that Maj. Smith removes all pledge OF
secrecy on his part. The other charges are so
very vague as not to be worthy of further con-
sideraton.
1t will be remembered that Capt. Boutelle
at the very start expressed his willingness to
have the letters published.

The Greenback county convention in Aroos-
took adopted the following platform:
Whereas, The success of the National Green
back party has demonstrated the power OF the
popular will and the earnest desire to aid in
the relief of our burdens, and pointing with
pride to the record made by our party in Maine;
therefore,
Resolued, That this convention reatfirm the
cardinal principles enumerated in the platform
of the National Greenback state convention at
Portland
Resolved, That money is a creature OF law,
or fiat of government, and not of nature, and
governments have right to make money OF
any material or materials they see fit, and that
when made legal tender for all debts, taxes
and dues, neither material can have prefer
ence over another, except in its convenience
for use.
Resolced, That the reduction in state expen-
ditures made by the last Legislature meets onr
hearty approval, and we urge the necessity OF
requiring the state to practice the same econ
omy that is demanded of individuals.
Resolved, That the poor men and the hard
working men of Maine have right to study
the question of finance, and to act with the
political party of their choice, without being
abused therefor, or denounced as too ignorant
to think or too wicked to act.
Resolued, That Joseph L. Smith, in refusing
the offer made by the Republicans to be made
Governor last year at the sacrifice OF his prln-
ciples furnishes additional reasons why we
should use every and all honorable efforts to
elect him as chief magistrate, and we also
pledge our hearty support to the nominees OF
this convention.
