Secretary Sherman's Reply to
Democratic Questions.

At the Lewiston meeting. Mr.. Sherman
spent few moments in noticing some of the
questions which had been prepared abroad for
him to answer. and were published in the
columns Of the Argus.
On arriving in Portland | found = demo-
cratic paper, said to be the most influential
democratic paper in Maine. and it propound
ed TO me great variety of questions. Ii
looked to me like set of errogatorlcS
propOundcd by some clever lawyer to bother
a witness. | looked over these questions to
find what it was the people of Maine desired
me to talk to them about. Judge my amaze
mcut to find that twelve of these questions
related to dispute that had occurred in
Congress the last ten years, whether bonds of
the ntcd States should be printed by nri-
vate bank-note company or the Bureau
of Printing. This barren topic proposed to
me. Mr.. FRYE could have told YOU all
about any day without importing me from Ohio.
This matter was not decided by the Trcasu-
ry Department; it was decided by act of Con
greSs two or three years ago. \ law was
passed in Congress requiring that these Sc
curitics should be published in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. When | assumed
the Office of Secretary of the Treasury, be-
ing modest man. | concluded that | would
ialv the democratic House, directed that |
should in pursuance of law, print these secur
iiieS in the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing and it was so done. and | did not sup
pose there was any controversy about it; but
twelve of these questions related to this very
important subject.
The balance of the questions. sixteen in
number, related to what is called the Glover
Committee-a committee appointed by dem
ocratic House to explore the Treasury De-
partmcnt, to see if ANYBODY had stolen any
money. Mr.. Glover came to the Treasury
Department. Every facility was given him
to examine all the rccesses of that great de-
partmcnt. He was allowed experts to aid him
in that work. and after it was all over he did
not find that nvbOdv had taken any money he
longing to the United States of America; and
| am glad to say to YOU that for three years
not one single dollar of public money has
been lost or wasted from the Treasury De-
partment.
Mr. Glover made a report that he did not
find that ANYBODY had stolen any money but
he found there had been some irregularities
from time to time committed in the depart
ment several wears ago. They found one
honest. lar-minjcd man. DIR. Linderman. and
he democrat, and they bounded him into his
grave upon what honestly believe was
ldlet anu NulpNHitb Nii''i-N' ilt ltlpii was
made to democratic House. and, though
some democrats were drawn into the meshcs,
the House decided that it was not worth the
cost of printing.
All of these questions it was desired
should speak about were rejected by demo
cratic House and democratic committee.
Mr. Glover was not returned to Congress,
and some time after gave his report to some
newspaper to print, at its own expense or at
his, don't Know which

Corporal Davis RecOrd.-HIs Cop
perhead Slanderers.

To the Editor of the hennebec Journal:
Noticing Gen. Leavitt's letter to the edi-
tor of the Standard, in this mornings Argus,
| desire to call attention to the fact that
from Oct. 20th, 1868, to Sept. 18th, 1864, there
is space of time not covered by the Adju
tant Generals report to Pillsbury. Now,
will Gen. l.. kindly state from the reports OF
lst ID. C. cavalry and the 1st Maine cavalry,
where the companies to which Corporal Da-
Wis belonged were during Mis period. If il
has become necessary to drag the Adlutant
General into the canvass officially, from
what know of that gentleman, he will fairly
give both sides when asked to do so.
This predict, will show that the COM
mand to which Davis belonged was actively
engaged. and he at his post of duty. Let us
have the whole record-the whole truth.
One word more. 1t seems that very i'm
portant point has escaped the Standard ed-
tors, and that is that Corporal Davis always
obeyed orders and went where duty called
him, until stricken with disease, for which he
was not responsible.
Il matters but little where a soldier served
so long as he obeyed all orders and performed
faithfully the duty imposed upon him. As we
heard an old veteran of the war declare few
davs since, 81 don't care whether Davis ate a
dozen rebels at the front daily, or performed
his whole service in some safer place, so long
as he went where orders called him."
That is the whole case in few words. Did
he enlist to serve the country? Yes. Did he
so serve honorablv and faithfully in all places
where his commanding officers ordered him?
Yes. Was he ever accused of a want of pat
riotism lack of zeal, disobedience to orders,
or want of personal gallantry? Nerer.
The meanest part of these attacks on Davis
lie in the inuendoes about his sickness. Re
Gently, the Argus has caught the diarrhGa
theme, and hints about remedies, etc. Well,
what else can you expect from the Standard,
or from the Argus? Their editors called the
soldiers during the war ''Lincolns hirelings,"
Government paupers," etc. and Pillsbury
was particularly bitter on President Lincoln,
as we all remember that classical allusion to
him, "He shines and Stinks and stinks and
shines Ike rotten mackerei by moonlight"
That is what Pilisbury said of Abraham Lin
coin. Since that, who cares what he says
about Corporal Davis
Gentlemen of the combination, keep right
on twitting about the sickness of Mr.. Davis,
we can stand it if you can, for every attack
you make adds one thousand to his majority
by the people. SOLDIER.

SOlOn Chase's Failure at Portland
The FusiOnists Down i'm the
Month";

To the Editor of the Rennebec journal:
Your correspondent being in Portland
Thursday evening, and having seen the an
nouncement that Solon Chase, in the interest
of the democrats and greenbackers would re-
ply to Secretary Sherman, of course had a
curiosity to hear the old mans story. There
was half hall full, perhaps two-thirds full,
and Solon labored and shouted, and pounded
his hands, but "nary reply" He dwelt prin-
cipally upon butter being at II l-2 cts per
pound, and the price of cattle &c. We took
a stroll about the city after the meeting closed,
to hear how it took. At one point four of
the highly respectable democratic capitalists,
owners of national bank stocks, money lend
ers, merchants, were grouped together, and
such countenances while one brought down
his fist and remarked "Now you see what
you have done! % One hundred of you signed
that cussed card in the Argus, committing us
all to that kind of clap-trap that we had to-
night Solon Chase can't be my leader, not
this year. Where was Bayard, where was
Thurman? If we were to reply to Secretary
Sherman's great speech why didn't we take
time and have some one here who could do it
decently at least. tell you that farce at
City Hall tonight will give Portland and
Cumberland county to the republicans.
AT anotherpoint two greenbackers were met
and they were not aware they were talking so
loudly. They in substance said cold So
Ion has lost his faculty, he made an awful
poor effort tonight, and we must see what
can he done to offset the disaster of the
meeting"

gentleman of South Hollis, a few days
since, assured us that greenbackism in his To-
cality is fast assuming the character of "dis-
solving views" They are dwindlng away as
a party organization. If the editor of the
State Democrat is very anxious about it, this
gentleman can give the names of fifteen men
who voted the greenback ticket last year who
will vote the republican ticket next Septem-
Der if they live. Everywhere are the repub
an-greenbackers leaving the truck and
dicker drive, and returning to the true fold
Encouragement for Solon Chase may be
found in the fact that in January last, Mr.
c. c. Hayden of Winslow, bought pair of
steers of John Clafflin, for Sl05, with which
he did his farm work for the past six months
and sold them to Mr. Derosher, of this place
for $3.50. No wonder people laugh when
they hear the story of 'Chase's Steers :"
They are destined to pass into an everlasting
political joke, to be laughed at by democrats
when they ransack the dictionary for the def
nition of their whiom partner WaterriHe
