TIE Argas says the Republican campaign
is one of evasion. That is not true; but il
is true that the Argls can evade more ques-

other newspaper that was ever known. 1t

the Artful Dodger of journalism.

THE Springfield Republican calls the atten-
ton of all of us to the fact that the United
States has become creditor nation, and that
the debasement of our standard of value
the logical result of the silver agitation and
legislation-will simply make it possible for
the debtor Europeans to pay us the balance
of trade in the inferior metal. That is a
pretty policy for us to pursue.

THE Greenback papers in this State have
asked for weeks how the soldier has been
treated The pension lists and the soldiers
homes are answer enough. But how will
the Greenbackers treat the families of sol
diers? Let us turn to the records of Messrs.
Lamson, Poor and Brown, as published in

Boston Journal: The indications from
Maine continue to be of the most hopeful
character. The Republicans are hard at
work and enthusiastic. Their meetings ev-
erywhere were largely attended last week,
and the most satisfactory interest manifest
ed. The Greenback-Republicans are return
ing in large numbers, satisfied that they
were deceived last year or determined not to
be the means of turning Maine over to the
Bourbon Democracy.
The Portland daily press., 1879-08-21

A USEFUL contribution is unintentionally
maid to the Maine campaign, by the Lon
don Saturday Reriew, when it says: 1.-The
resumption of specie payments, OF which the
Americans boast so much, is in reality an
initiation of the currency. The greenbacks
remain in circulation, and to these has been
added mass of gold and silver. This has
fostered speculation which by and by may
be productive of embarrassment. The sit
uation is therefore not without its dangers.
But on the other hand the persistent bad
weather which is so disastrous to Europe
will pour new wealth into the United States!
1t is unfortunately only too certain now that
the demand for American produce during
the next year throughout western Europe
will be enormous"

published elsewhere, shows up very clearly
: the record of one Greenback rcformer ana

The Portland daily press., 1879-08-21

THE following is the light in which Honest
Major Smith looks to the Albany Journal:
The Greenback candidate for Governor of
Maine does not escape from the charge Of
duplicity which is made against him. On the
contrary, it is clearly fastened. The charge
was that Oh the failure of an election by the
people last year, he wrote letter Offering to
abandon his Greenback views if the RepuD-
licans in the Senate would make him Cover
nor. He replied that such letter if it eX-
listed, was a forgery. His principal manager
admitted that letter had been written, but
denied that it would bear any such construc-
ton. Now fac-simile of the letter is pub
lished, plainly in Smiths handwriting, signed
by his initials, and stating just what was
charged. That party is rather disposed to-
wards bargains, but this is little the most
brazen yet revealed.

WE call the attention of all our readers to
the advertisement of the Honest-Money
League publications. They ought to be in
the hands of every voter in the State, and
had the sound principles they inculcate been
understood by the people of this State last
wear Maine would not be in the ridiculous
plight in which she now finds herself.
The Portland daily press., 1879-08-21

THE New York Herald takes firm ground,
when it says concerning the Sprague scan
dal: ''The press has no business in the un-
happy alterations of families or their dis
putes. 1t only gratifies morbid and pruri-
ent curiosity when it opens its columns to
such matters, and we conceive that an up
right journalist only oes his duty-a duty
for which all right-minded readers will be
grateful-when he not merely refuses to
publish the current and unauthenticated
gossip in such cases, but closes his columns
even against such statements as the persons
concerned may in the irritation of the mo
ment be perhaps anxious to make public.
Of what possible use is it to the public to be
told in column after column that A, B and
had dispute over the dinner table or
elsewhere, and what each said to or of the
other? The burdens of life are already suf-
ficently great without adding to them the
filling of newspaper columns with what is
essentially private and cannot be disclosed
without encouraging the spirit of little tattle
and gossip, which is the pettiest and mean
est vice of mankind"
The Portland daily press., 1879-08-21

THIS from the Ar0osto0k Pioneer: A
Greenbacker named Solon Chase, who is
awful anxious to be Congressman and
assist in remodeling our national financial
system, amused the people of Houlton last
Friday evening by his ridiculous nonsense
about the price of pork, butter and eggs, and
those poor fellows who want to raise the
mortgages upon their farms. He didn't tell
his audience that a chicken, dozen of eggs
or pound of butter will purchase more tea,
coffee, sugar, molasses, or dry goods now
than at any time during or since the re-
beIlion He left that fact for us to state.
Neither did he impart to the mortgages the
secret of how to obtain from the Govern
ment treasury, except by rendering an
equivalent, the greenbacks which his party
desires issued.

ter written by Voorhees,, and suggested to
the Argus to print it in connection with its

Argus did not accept the suggestion. Per-
haps it has forgotten it. So we reprint the
letter:
To his Excellency jefferson Davis President of the
Confederation of States.
INDIANAPOLIS, December II, 1S6O-My friend,
Capt. Francis A. Shoup is about visiting the South
with his sister, on account OF her health have
known Capt. Shoup since our boyhood. We were
schoolmates. He is graduate of West Point, and
in the army lieutenant four years. No more
honorable or upright gentleman exists. On the dis
turbing questions of the day his sentiments are en-
tirely with the South, and one of his objects is
probable home in that section.
take this occasion to say that his sentiments and
my own are in close harmony.
d. W.yooRHEEs.
Shoup got his appointment as an officer in
the Confederate army. There is another
letter, showing Democratic loyalty, written
by a Democratic Senator from Indiana.
Here it is:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Malch l. 1861.
MY DEAR SRAkllow me to introduce to your
acquaintance my friend, Thomas Lincoln, OF Texas.
He visits your capital mainly to dispose OF what he
regards great improvement in firearms. rec
ommend him to your favorable consideration as
gentleman of the first respectability and reliable in
JESSE d. BRIGHT.
The writer of the first article is now SEN
ator from Indiana, and the Argus gives him
praise. The writer of the second letter-a
letter not so bad as the first-was expelled
from the Senate. Which man got his dues?
