DOVER SOUTH MILLS, July 9th.
L have seen the infamous statement of the
Standard in regard to the war record of Daniel
f. Davis. Now want to say that was in the
same command, Co. d, LIST ID. c. Cavalry, with
him; l was i'll Salisbury prison with his brother
Stephen when he died. L was with Daniel f.
Davis in all the engagements in and about
Petersburg in the year 1864 and knew that he
was good and brave soldier, and always did
his duty. The 1st ID. G. Cavalry was con-
stantly on duty at the front, from the time we
left Washington, as any one can see by con-
sulting the published history of the regiment
Mr.. Davis in the army was a good soldier, re-
spected by all. He devoted his spare time to
his books. L know that near the close of the
war he was very sick, and was for some time
after the close. | have known him ever since
the war closed. He was poor boy, has worked
his way up by his own unaided efforts: he has
a clear, level head, a strong will, and comes
from the common people, and they will sustain
him by their votes this Fall, because they like
him and can trust him. / don't believe the
soldiers of Maine will submit to the cruel lies
told about so faithful soldier as Daniel f.
Davis. Yours,
EDWIN HILL.

As an old comrade of the Hon. Daniel f.
Davis, wish to give the editor of the cam
paign Standard a few items in regard to the
army record of Mr.. Davis, through the col
umns OF your paper. / 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 SANDER in regard to his
character or army record L ever heard, saw
III the campaign Standard of July I'd, which is
as gross lie as ever was told, and no man that
was a true soldier to his country would ever
utter such base lie. enlisted the twelfth
day of August 1868, was on duty until March
31st, 1865, when l was wounded at Dinwiddie
Court House, Va. Mr. Davis left Augusta
with me, was on duty with me at Washington.
Annandale, Yorktown, James River, Battle of
the Weldon Railroad, Stony Creek Station,
Cattail Creek, also on the ten days Wilson
Raid, where it was almost continual fighting
for the whole time, which was enough to es-
tablish good record for any soldierNthis one
raid alone. l believe in giving every man his
Just due, Republican or Democrat, but if the
Universalist doctrine is true, this man that
signs himself "An Old Soldier will new
er receive his just reward.

THE Union AdUocdte is the latest paper to
repeat the Maine Standards abuse of the
Republican candidate for Governor, and
does little villifying on its own account
1t says Davis ''never was in any engagement
at all, nor did he do one days duty after
leaving Washington, D. c., but managed
with, it seems, almost superhuman adroit-
ness, to pass the time either in the hospital
or at home, while his regiment was in active
service" These statements have been proved
to be falsehoods, and before the campaign
is over the Adrocate will be sorry it uttered
them-not because they are untrue, but be-
cause it has been found out

THE Glover report which the Democrats
in Congress refused to publish has at last
found its way into print. 1t makes any
number of loose charges which cannot, we
venture to say, be proved, and accuses the
Treasury of corruption and mismanagement
while under the charge of Chase, Fessenden,
McCulloch, Boutwell,, Richardson, Bristow,
Morrill, and Sherman. Were these charges
worth notice the Democratic Congressional
majority would gladly publish them. Its
refusal to do so shows in what estimation it
held them. They were not worth its notice,
and for once its opinion is the opinion of the
people,

THE Argus in yesterdays issue defined its

IHE argus III yesterdays issue defined its
position on payment of the debt thus:
We are quite willing the owners should take
greenbacks for their bonds if they prefer them
but II they say gold they must have it, A
gress bound us. A strict observance of the
public faith is duty of honesty and patriotism
alike
Last Saturday it said this:
We agreed that banking institutions should
not be allowed to issue currency-but that
their bills now outstanding should be gradually
Withdrawn and public Indebtedness paid off
with the greenbacks issued to take their
place.
Its readers pay their money and take their
choice. Perhaps the arrangement is that
the Greenbacker shall edit the paper of a
Saturday, and the hard-money man of a
Tuesday.
