Hon. r.. Il. St0rrs at Gray.

One of the largest meetings held in this
County, assembled at Gray yesterday, and as
we learn from a gentleman who was present,
was one of the most enthusiastic of the cam
paign.
The meeting was held at the Town Hall,
which was literally packed full, and there were
enough more outside to fill it again.
The Hon. Warren HI. Vinton presided, and
in short and eloquent speech introduced the
Hon. E. A. Storrs, who addressed the multi
tude for more than two hours, presenting the
issures of the campaign in clear concise and
forcible manner. His style of presenting and
discussing the reconstruction and financial
questions is so attractive, that he DDS an au-
dience as if spell-bound; and his illustrations
so amusing, as to evince thunders of applause.
The people in this County are thoroughly
aroused, and will not go back on their proud
record won during the war.

At the rally in Hartford, Conn, on Monday
evening, to which Mr.. Pendleton rushed in no
haste from this city, he stated that C he would
go back to Ohio with the announcement thai

Blair" If Mr.. Pendleton carries out that in
tention he will perpetrate political fraud up
on the hardshells of Ohio. 1t is false in letter
and spirit. New England is not all ablaze in
that cause and is not intending to cast he1
votes for these dangerous men. A large ma.
jority of her voters are of the other style and
any attempt by Mr.. Pendleton or anybody else
to convey any other impression is afraid ana
they know it! Let this prediction be recol

T., held Monday evening, August Oath, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolued, That it is with mingde emotions
of sorrow and joy, that we have been called to

the cause of temperance has lost thorough

and much loved member.
Resolued That we deeply sympathise with

parting is known no more, and where sick
ness and death can never enter.

forwarded to the family of our deceased
brother, and that they be also published in the
daily papers of this city. Respectfully SUBJ
mitted in Love, Purity and Fidelity.

The Exchange of Priuoners.

Democrats will believe nothing but first class
rebel testimony. Give them man who has
murdered "nigger" soldiers, like Forrest, and
they are ready to give his words the most un-
hesitating credence. Robert Ould, Rebel Com
missioner of Exchange, they have recently had
on the witness stand. They believe his testi-
mony even though its tendency is to prove that
Gen. Grant, who has hitherto been supposed
to have been rather favorably disposed than
otherwise to the Union cause during the war,
was guilty of refusing an exchange out of pure
cruelty and malignity What the exchange to
which he was invited really was, and whether,
when the matter at stake was the destiny of
the nation, it was wise, merciful and just to
refuse it, may be gathered from the following
note from this same Ould to the rebel Gen.
Winder:
SIR:-A fag-of-truce boat has arrived with
$50 political prisoners, Gen. Barrow and seve-
raj other prominent men among them.
wish You to send me at O'clock, Wednes-
day morning, all the military prisoners Except
ofhcers) and all the political prisoners you
have. If any the political prisoners have on
hand proof enough to convict them of being
spies, or of having committed other offences
which should subject them to punishment, so
state opposite their names. Also state wheth-
er you think, under all the circumstances, they
should be released. 11

b tate Politics.

The Boston Herald says that the number of
converts claimed by each party is very nearly
the same. This is not true of Maine where the
Democrats boast of Garcelon alone, while the
Republicans have been reinforced by Tallman,
Sewall, Weston, Craig and many others. Hon.
Isaac Reed, whom we reported few days ago
as new convert to Republicanism, upon what
we supposed was the best possible authority,
proves not to have got his eyes quite open yet.
So much the worse for him.
Among the "Kennebeckers" who have taken
the stump in that county are j. G. Blaine,
John L. Stevens, w. B. Smell of Winthrop
and w. P. Whitehouse, A G. Stilphen and
s. w. Lane of Augusta.
A Kuklux Klan has been organized in
North Wayne.
Senator Morrill, is speaking with fattering
success in Washington county. He predicts
that the Republican majority at the State
election will bet20.000 and that it will be in
creased at the Presidential election.
In every county Of the State we notice that
the Republicans are holding large number of
public meetings, while the Democrats hold
hardly any. That is exactly right. Public
meetings are always the sure forerunners o.
Republican victory.

LET Them Finish Their Work.

Why should the control of national affairs
be taken out of the hands of the loyal people
and their representatives in Congress? The
excited partisans of Seymour and Blair say
because reconstruction, their principle meas
ure, is failure. But remember that four
years ago the same party, in their impatlence,
got together and expressed the opinion, that
the war was failure. 1t soon turned out
that they were mistaken. 1t was their wish
and not their thought that the Copperheads at
Chicago gave utterance to. They wanted the
war to be failure. They did what they could
to make it so. But thanks to the patience
and faith OF the people and the bravery of the
soldiers the war soon afterwards proved glo-
rious success. These fellows are dismal
croakers, and not prophets Reconstruction
promises TO be as successful as the war. AL
ready eight States are restored to their repre-
sentation. Negro suffrage has become fixed
fact, and is fast being acquiesced in by the
very men who threatened not to submit to it.
1t has already borne its good fruits in the
better feeling manifested by the whites to the
blacks and the comparative immunity of the
latter from violence and outrage The indus
try of the Rebel States Frustrated by the war
is rapidly recovering and creating new wealth
to fill the place of what was rashly wasted in a
wicked and unprovoked war. Solid peace and
lasting Union begin to be possible. Let those
| who began the good work finish upon their
| own plan. Trust the loyal patriots who saved
the Union in spite of your reasonable fore
bodings and much to your chagrin. The
country will not trust its destinies in the
hands of the men who betrayed it, deserted it
in danger, made deadly war against it and
did what they could to destroy it. Rebels and
traitors and their accomplices must wait. Re-
pentance and forgiveness are what they need
more than honor and office. A little eloquent
silence, while the people are forgetting their
| evil counsels and evil deeds, would be more
| appropriate than these noisy and proftlse pro-
| fessions of how wisely and patrotically, and
economically, they would manage the political
and financial affairs of the nation, if entrusted
with them. Not yet, not vet! We had about
| four years of Democratic management
under that model government presided over
! by Jefferson Davis, Democratic without SO
much as an opposition of Radcalism, and on
the whole we didn't like it.
