We learn from gentleman who was pres

has attended several Union meetings in this

have been addressed by Republican speakers
have been large and Enthusiastic and as the

voters of the first District that the fruits of the

which we fought shall be maintained. was new
er more apparent. sstfe
He says that large and enthusiastic meet
ing was held at Limerick on Tuesday last, at
which DIR. Swazey presided. 1t was held in
the square in front of the Town House and
was addressed by Mr.. Bass of Chicago, in a
logical speech of about an hour, and Ge n.
John l.. Swift of Boston. There were at least
1000 present by Republican count and accord
| ing to Democratic arithmetic 10000; there
| were two bands of music. Large delegations
| were present from Parsonsfield, Limington,
| Steep Falls, Newfield and all the surrounding
towns Hon. John Lynch being noticed in the
| crowd was called out and made short speech
| which was received, as his speeches every
| where in the campaign have been, with ap-
plause. In the evening Gen. John L. Swift
addressed the people again. All of our friends
agree that this was the largest aud most sue

Upi.ed State. Bonds.

A writer in the Argus over the signature OF
refers to various statutes of Congress au
thorizing the issue of bonds to show that
there is no exemption of bonds, under those
statutes from taxation by the United States.
and then goes on to say that "the fact of not
taxing them is causing irritation all over the
country"
Is the writer ignorant and is the Editor of
the Argus, who endorses his sentiments, ig-
norant that the United States government is
at this moment taxing these bonds? Let him
look at the detailed statement of income gains
and profits" contained in the printed returns
every citizen is obliged to make of his income
the first of May of each year. That return,
which is before us and from which we COW.
reads; "9.-Frona interest on notes, bonds or
other securities Of the United States"
This is only sample of the unfair treat
ment of this subject by Democratic writer's
and speakers. They are constantly reiterat-
ing, as this writer does, these groundless asser-
tons about hard and unjust discrimination
against the business man aud those who are
owners and tillers of the soil, as well as the
mechanic and laborer, who are using their
means in adding to the wealth Of the nation
by fair and honest industry" Nobody has
pretended that the bonds are exempted from
taxation by the United States, and nobody
that is not either dishonest or ignorant pre-
tends that they are not taxed. They are taxed
as other property is, as the income of railroad
bonds, or bank stock or real estate property is.
If the Regulators want to tax them more
than they tax other property let them say SO,
or If they want to tax incomes more than they
are now taxed, let them say that, but let them
cease to try to dupe us by such glaringIy false
statements of the actual facts of the case
Inc writer we quote from says nothing
about exemption of those bonds from taxation
under State authority. He is evidently aware
OF such exemption, or is as evidently careful
to conceal what he knows about it, giving his
readers to understand the bonds are liable to
be taxed for any purpose for which any prop.
erty can be taxed. We undertook. some DAYS
since, to show by quotations from the acts of
Congress referred to by the Argus and from
the decisions of the supreme Court of the
United States, that the towns and cities are
preeluded from taxing United States loans
Will the Argus tell us plainly whether Con-
Sress can pass laws authorizing this sort of
taxation? Or will it 90 on informing it's read
ers, that when its party comes into power, the
bonds will come in for their share of these To-
cal burdens, which, as we have before said, are
pressing very heavily upon the citizens For
ourselves, we intend to treat this subject fair
ly. 1t is a bad case that requires deception
and misstatements

A. Spofford, Esq, of Kittery, introduced ex-
Governor Hawley who spoke for two hours
aud hall in his most effective manner; dur
ing which time he ably discussed the theory
OF equal taxation and the paying of the ma
tioDal debt in greenbacks. w y
He expressed his detestation OF the mean
policy which turned seven limbless soldiers
from the Navy Yard where they had employ
racnt, and paid glowing tribute to the. boys
in blue. e, n 4r+
Hon. w. III. Y. sHackett next addressed the
meeting in an able and argumentative manner
tor halt an hour and was followed by j. M.
Vandersliee of Pennsylvania, young man
who has just come into the State.

ceived with deafening cheers At late hour

Last evening Hon. B. Hamlin spoke at Spruce

Following the Democratic mass meeting of
yesterday afternoon which had been heralded
long and loud, came a local gathering
called together by few small posters about
town, to listen to the Hon. Lewis Barker OF
Stetson, and reliable parties who were present
on both occasions, say that the Republican
speaker had an audience quite as large as was
called together by those famous Democrats, s.
5 S.aCox and Judge Rice 3 G @Sk Sci
Mr.. Barker spoke for an hour and half in
the open air, and kept his audience interested
to the end, handling his matter in . stirring
and effective manner. His logic is clear and
he has a way of condensing his argument
which avoids tediousness of detail which some
fall into. His audience would have been glad
to listen for another hour. Earnest cheers were
given for the speaker and the State aud ma,
tional tickets. Col. Daniel Elliott, President
OF the Brunswick and Topsham Grant and
Colfax Club, presided.
To show how imposing in figures was the Dem
ocratic array here 1 will state that at the close
OF their meeting they, escorted by the Band
went in procession to raise flag and there
were in the procession just ninety seven, of all

DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENTS is to be
seen at this Office good solid Democratic ar
gument, weighing perhaps pound, brought
all the way from Augusta. 1t is stone 1t is
stained with the blood of a Black Republican.
The Ku-Klux Klans of Augusta presented it
to the Republican organizations from this city,
just as they were entering the cars to come
home Thursday night. A man received it on
his mouth, where it cut and bruised the flesh
severely. n. q. --s' l.
On the same evening the Republican process
sons at Lewiston were treated to the same sort
OF pOlemics. Several men were injured in the
heat of the controversy The 14th of this
month will bring these argumentative Ku
Democracy on that day would be the triumph
of the mob.
The Ku-Klux attacks at Augusta was es-
pecially atrocious. A perfect volley of stones
was thrown just before the train started, one
of which took effect as above described. The
most singular circumstance attending the
affair was the conduct of the police. No at
tempt was made to arrest the man who began
the attack as the passengers were entering the
cars while they gave their whole attention to
the individuals who were SO unreasonable as
to defend themselves. The officers seemed to
be in league with ike Klans, the purpose evil
IDENTIFY being to create a disturbance which
should result in the arrest and detention of
some of the excursionsts at Augusta Anoth-
er effort in the same direction was the greas-
ing of the rails between Augusta and Gardi-
ner, in consequence of which progress was
made at the rate of about mile an hour All
these proceedings are worthy only of gang
of poor whites assembled at cross roads grog-
gerry in the interior of Southern State.
