Flag Raising at Stevens Plains.
Brilliant Examinations and Effective
Speeches.

The Republicans of Stevens Plains had
made all their arrangements for flag raising
last evening, and the occasion was looked for
ward to with great interest by the citizens of
that vicinity. The result even exceeded their
most hopeful expectations, for the demonstra-
ton proved to be one of the best of the CAM
paign. The Republican organizations of this
city, including the Pioneers, Continentals, Ar
tilery and young Zouaves, accompanied by the
Portland Band, left the Republican Headquar-
tcrs at about half-past seven o'clock; and
marched up Congress to Geeen and thence to
Deering's Bridge, where they embarked on the
horse cars for the scene of the evenings cele-
bration.
At Woodford's Corner the procession left the
cars, and being joined by the Loyal Loafers"
of Stroudwater, Capt j. b. Bates, and a COM
pany of boys from Capicic, took up the line of
march for Stevens Plains There were abont
5000 torches in line and the light which they
created added to the brilliant Examinations of
the residences on Pleasant street, made the
scene almost as bright MONDAY. The resi-
dencs of Rufus Durham, Esq, was magnif-
Gently illuminated and decorated with flags
Cnlnese lanterns, etc., Wnlle the SfOunsS pre-
sented an equally brilliant appearance. The
flag was unfurled short distance above
Mr.. Dunham's residence amid the dischage of
cannon, the bursting of rockets and the cheers
of the assembled multitude. Brief and effec-
tive speeches were made by Col. John G. Cobb
of Desring, and w. w. Thomas, Jr., Esq, of
this city, both of which were received with
great applause. Col. James NJ Stone was de-
tanned at home by illness, which rendered his
speaking absolutely impossible. As whole,
the affair was decided success, although a
few envious and disappointed followers of
''Honest Uncle Horace" attempted to create a
disturbance by their feeble attempts at cheering
for the philosopher, which were however stop
ped without any serious trouble. The crowd
present was estimated at one thousand.

JUDGE DAVIS'S POSITION.
An Authoritative Statement.

The Washington Patriot prints the following,
which is understood to be an authorized ex-
PLANTATION Of Judge Davis's position, aud that
of the Democratic members of Congress from
Illinois toward him ~
We are requested to publish a copy OF the
following telegram, which was sent to Chica-
go last night, In order to correct one of the
many erroneous statements which are daily
%telegraphed from this city. 1t Is very well
known here In all political circles that Judge
Davis has carefully and becomingly abstalned
from taking any part whatever In the move
ments 10 present him as q candidate for the
Presidency by the united opposition; that he
has written no letters on that subject; that he
has made no committals; that he has In no way
changed his original position, and that he has
future course in regard 10 any contingency
that may arise:
frelegrsm.I
The statement published In Illinois, that
one.haIf of the delegation In Congress from
that State is hostile to Judge Davis as q can
dldste for President, Is wholly without foun-
daLion. On inquiry their position is found to
be- about this: While they do not propose to
interfere in any way with the movement of
what are called Liberal Republicans, they do
not disguise their anxiety that the action of
the Cincinnati Convention will be such as to
secure the cordial CO. operation OF all who de-
sire to shake off the military incubus that now
endanqers the very life of free government.
Five of the six Democratic members, Messrs.
Robinson, Marshall, McNeeley, Crebs and
Stevens, believe that In the life. person and
record of Judge Davis are combined more OF
the elements of success, and less to arouse
the prejudlces, and repel patriotic citizens
who desire reform In the administration or
the government, than In any other Republic
can name that has been suggested In this
connection, and that he would Insure that
cordial cooperation OF all the elements of op-
position, which would render success a Ger
tainty.

CINYASSING FOE A COALITION.

WASHINGTON, April IA.
The Democratic members of Congress are
consulting among themselves regarding their
political course In view Of the Cincinnati Con-
vention. Some of them freely express their
Willingness to vote for the nominee of that
cuuveution, provided the demonstration there
shall give promise of success, and The plat
form be Of sucn a character that they can Tn
dorse 1t. They say chat they want only the
enumeration oil a few general principles. Some
of the anti-administration Republicans have
been privately exchanging Views with them
in order to arrange a basis OF coalition. It Is
generally agreed, however, by the Democrats
that their course will be governed oy the
National Democratic Convention whether 1t
shall agree TO support the Cincinnati nominee
or make a nomination Of its own.

TIE a. A ORACLE.
Grants Friends Trying to Brighten
summer from Attending.

WASHINGTON, April 9.
Since it has been stated that Senator Sum-
ner would be among those who would attend
the Cincinnati Convention, q studied effort has
been made by the friends of the admlnlsLra-
ton, who maintain personal relations with
MI. Sumner, to persuade him against going.
The President aud his friends admit that the
presence of Sumner at the convention would
give great weight to 1t, and would be likely to
draw of a large number of the old-fash!oned
Abolitionists, who have heretofore trained
with the Republican party, but who are dis.
satisfied with Grant. Sumner has been assur-
ed by these dlslnterested friends that by
going to Cincinnati he would forever shut
The door against a return to the party
lold, aud would place himself squarely on the
9th. r side. Notwithstanding this 1t Is bellev-
ed that Sumner will go aud take the conse-
OuenceS.

he made q long speech, In which he said that
the party led by Trumbull and Schurz favored
States rights, and In that party he had no con-
fdence. s'But," he continued, .'tne Republic
can party must come up higher. Though Gene
raj Grant is an honorable man, and one for
whom 1 expect to vote, (Cheera,) yet the
Republican party has other leaders besides
General Grant. Enthusiastic applause. There
is now a man at Washington who represents
the future, and is a majority In himself, q man
at whose feet Grant learns wisdom; that man
is Charles Summer. (Applause.) I know
them both; they are great men, but Sumner Is
steady. He is nc Pickering light. For twen-
ty-fve years he has worked for the Republi.
can party, and I hope I may cease forever If
I cease to give all honor to Charles Sumner"
On motion, the House rose and gave three
cheers for Charles Sumner.
