ter stay there" Capt. Boutelle called Mr..
Smiths attention to these published declar-
atoms and asked if they were true. Mr.
Smith replied that the candidate of party
was expected to be in accord with his party
and he did not propose to be an exception.
He further stated that the ideas which the
Lewiston Journal representative seemed to
have carried along with him were at variance
with what | intended to convey" To this
Capt. Boutelle replied that in view of this de-
NAL there could be no doubt that he (Smith)
was not ri in accord with the principles of the
Greenback party.
This Boutelle correspondence will not held
Mr.. Smith out of his present dilemma. 1t did
not take place until ten days after the publica
ton OF the Lewiston journal ''interview,"
which caused wild commotion in the Green
back camp. So that before Capt Boutelle
wrote to Mr.. Smith he had been set upon by
his associates with vigor that was akin to
ferocity He saw that he had made great
blunder and he would be fool to repeat it,
But even the experience with the Lewiston
Jourdal reporter did not repress the trading
prOpensties of Mr.. Smith. In few DAYS he
50 far recovered from the bulldozing of the
Greenback managers as to write the letter,
fac-simile of which we publish to-day, 1t is by
this letter that the public is to Judge of Mr..
Smiths intentions; and judged by that letter,
can any candid man say taat it is not his con
viction that Mr.. Joseph l.. Smith was ready to
betray the creed of the Greenback party to
secure hcpuoncan VOTES 10 make MIN Gov
ernOr?
In conclusion we beg to suggest that the
word of Mr.. Smith and his spokesman who
made him the Greenback candidate, cannot be
regarded as entitled to any credence in this
matter When Mr.. Smith heard of the Jour-
nal revelations, and before he saw them, he
asserted in the most positive manner: eff
they claim to have any writings from me they
are forgeries." When Mr.. Smith and his
trainer, Major Folsom, read the journal reve-
lations and understood that fac-simile of the
letter, with the writer's initials, might appear,
confessed that, his man had written letter.
thus contradicting, point blank, Mr.. Smiths
most positive and sweeping denials.
We do not propose to pursue this subject
further. Mr.. Smith has both denied and con-
fessed by proxy. His letter proves that his
denial was a falsehood, while his subsequent
force of the proof of duplicity and treacheIy
which his letter fixes upon him. To call him
the duplex Smith is puttsng it very mild.

Above we present fac-simile of the letter
of Joseph L. Smith, published in the Boston
Journal from the original. 1t is a letter writ
ten to Republican as bid for Republican
votes, and is damning evidence of the treach-
cry to his party which at one time Major
Smith contemplated and partly carried into
execution. The next friend of candidate
Smith, Major Folsom, admits the authenticity
of the letter given above Below we append
the Journals comments:
Boston Journal
THE DUPLEX SMITH.
We publish to-day fac sinaHe of the letter
which Hon. Jose lh l.. Smith, the candidate OF
the Greenback party in Maine, wrote to Re-
publican as a bid, for Republican votes Our
correspondent has already given history of
the negotiations and the reasons why Mr..
port of the Republican members of the State
Senate SO that it will not be necessary to go
over the ground again. That this letter is
bid for Republican votes, why does Mr.. Smith
lay so much stress upon bulldozing in the
South? Mr.. Smiths friends insist that this
letter involves no abandonment of Greenback
principles. So far as Mr.. Smith is concerned
Individually, that is true. He never had any
such 'principles.' But how about those
who believe in the ''fiat' money lunacy
did not this letter propose an abandon
ment of that party? Did he not propose to
ignore it and his principles? If not, what did
he mean when he said: my present opinion
u.s. shall not refer to it, Specie resumption
and the whole financial question: in case I
have to draw up message?" Did he not
practically say tlrat in case resumption was
successful the issues raised by the Green
back party in the campaign of 1878 were no
longer valid and living ones? Resumption
has proved a gratifying success; and if Mr..
Smith did not ignore his own declarations he
would decline the Greenback nomination and
tell the leaders of that party that its issues
as irrelevant to the present as a last yeats
calendar.
The Democratic Greenback organs in Maine
and elsewhere hope to break the force of the
disclosure of Mr.. Smiths treachery by the pub

Courier. After the publication of the Lewis

stated that there Unjust be gold somewhere

The State Prison Accounts.

The malignity, mendacity, and ignor-
ance of the Camden Herald are conspicuously
shown in the paragraph below, headed
PORTLAND ADVERTISER PLEASE EXPLAIN.
When Warden Rice showed to the commit
tee appointed by Governor Garcelon what the
assets of the prison were, his boOk-keeper gave
the account of J. A. Creighton & Co., of
Thomaston, as follows: Balance of account
due $661.94, which account they placed to the
credit of the prison. Since that time Messrs.
j. A. Creighton & Co., have presented their
bills, audited by S. G.. Rice as clerk, and in
stead of their being in debt to the prison, the
prison was owing them S2t4.00, and of this sum
was one bill for interest on balance due of
$3.50! Will the Adyertiser explain why this
is thus?
To that paragraph the Advertiser responds
thus
A correspondent of the Adcertiser has called.
on Messrs. Creighton & Co., at Thomaston,
and reports their explanation of this extraordi-
nary statement. They say that both balances,
are correctly given. They have running ac-i
count with the State prison, and at the time
when Warden Rice exhibited the account, they
were owing the prison $661.94. Some time
afterward they had settlement with Ward
en- Tolman, and then the prison was owing
them S214. There has been no dispute about
the account, and Mr.. j. A. Creighton, though
a Greenbacker, is very indignant at the at
tempt of the Camden Herald to help along the
cause by such transparent trick. :.

The Governor and Council were in session
all day Wednesday, hard at work examining

The Back Bay Nuisance.

More interest was shown in the health COM
mission yesterday, and twenty-four gentlemen
appeared at the Aldermens room between the
hours of II and o'clock, before Drs. Gerrish
and Ring.
Among the gentlemen were Messrs. Rice, A.
A. Strout, J. III. Drummond, William Senter,
Charles Payson, w. W. Whipple, Rich, Wins
low, Chase, Hitchings, William Allen, Jr.,
and District Attorney Lunt, residing on Dan
forth, New State, High, Cumberland, Deering
Pearl and Oxford streets. All spoke of the
odors as either those of bad vault, slaughter
house, piggery or tannery. They were noticea-
BILE with the wind north and northwest, and at
low tide. These odors were simply awful at
times. Mr.. Drummond said, if necessary, all
his neighbors would form a procession and
come down en- masse to complain. Mr.. Rich
thought the odor came from what was emptied
on the flats. Mr.. Winslow thought the flats
should be covered with gravel. Mr. Lunt
thought both the city and private individuals
were responsible for the state of affairs. The
smells were more noticeable this year than ever
before, many said.

Rambaud's History of Russia.

We have much pleasure in calling the atten-
ton of our readers and the general public of
Portland to the above history. 1t is published
by Estes & Lauriat of Boston, who have al
ready gained a wide and well-deserved reputa-
ton by the publication of Guizot's histories of
France and England.
good history of Russia has for long time
been needed in American literature, and we
have it in this work. Rambaud's history is of
the highest repute, having been crowned by
the French Academy. 1t would follow that
the work is the best produced. Until the Cri-
mean War Russia was but little known in this
country, though its history is one of the most
important and exciting of all the nations of
Europe. At the time of that war she took a
position in European politics that she has
maintained ever since. Her history from the
time of the Tartar Khanates and the Norman
invaders to this day when she is a mighty Eu-
ropean and Asiatic power cannot fail to be of
great interest to all of us who desire to acquire
an intelligent comprehension of the politics of
Europe and the changes through which Eu-
rope has passed. The present state of affairs
in the great empire, the development of
Nlihilism, and the grievances of the down.
trodden races that murmur against the iron
rule of the Gar, certainly should command
our closest and most intelligent acquaintance.
The Turko-Russian War, too, is fully treated,
and as well the march Of Russia toward At
ghanistan and her constant encroachments on
Asiatic territory The history will be brought
down to 1880, and thus will become a book for
reference and general reading that no library
will like to be without.
The work is handsomely gotten up, printed
on fine paper profusely illustrated with steel
and wood engravings, and containing many ex-
cellent maps. 1t has also that indispensable
aid to the student, full and accurate index.
Capt Brown is the agent for this vicinity.
He is known to us as a truthful and trustwor-
thy canvasser, having already canvassed GU
zot's France and England here. Any persons
wishing to see him can find him at Perrv's
Hotel.
