BR1DGToN, Sept. 2, 1872.

.s BRIDGTOE, Sept. 2, 1877.
To the Editor of the Press;
Last Saturday evening both political parties
held meetings in this village, the Republicans
in Gibbs' Hail. and the supporters of DR.. Gree
ley in the Town Hall. 1t had been announced
for several days that civilian Ell. Clifford,
ESQ.,, Liberal candidate for Congress from the
the First District, and Hon. J. T. Williams, a
dress the citizens ofSrdgton on the evening of
Aug. 31st, music by the Bridgton Band, and a
grand display of fireworks after the meeting.
With such a programme the Greeley leaders
were confident of success. The arrangements
were all perfected but the crowd didn't appear.
The band played its sweetest strains in the pub
lie square, the leaders rushed hither and thith-
er, and still no crowd. Finally the distinguish
ed speakers, escorted by the band, marched to
the Town Hall. We have heard good deal in
regard to the large number of so-called Libe-
rails IN this town, and we expected to see them
out in full force. Arriving ct the Town Hall
the array Of empty seats did not furnish the in
centive to fire the heart to eloquenee. By act
ual count there were present in the Town Hall
ITO men and boys and 60 ladies' The hall was
not one-third full. The whole thing was a per-
feet failure in every respect, so much 30 that
they could find no one who was willing to send
off that grand display of fireworks"
At Gibbs Hall, which was crowded, there
being present over double the number at the
Greeley meeting, A. A. Strout, esq.,, of Port
land, made one of the most eloquent and effec-
tive speeches of the campaign. In point of
numbers and enthusiasm the meeting was in
every way grand success. lridgton seems to
be wide awake, and if these two meetings, with
the odds in favor of the Greeleyite,, they hav-
ing the band, &c., are fair tests of the two par
ties, you can count on Bridgton for an increas-
ed majority over last year. VISITOR.

The voters of Maine must be peculiarly
sensible to such a consideration. Tbey are
intelligent enough to see through the fraudu-
lent pretences of Presidential candidate who
is endorsed by Charles Sumner as an original
and persistent abolltionist and by unrepentent
rebels as their best friend; who assumes to
be the champion of Reform and gets his
most effective support from the Tammany
Ring; whose benevolent and infantile coun-
tenance beams with equal benignity on all
the classes whom he ever indignantly de-
nounce with all the vile epithets contained in
his voluminous vocabulary of abuse.
The old Republican voters of Maine do not
need to be told that it is safer TO trust kind
and faithful administration than such a man
as Mr.. Greeley has disclosed himself to be
during the past few months. If thew have
ever admired the former conduct of the
New York Tribune they must reject the
editorial candidate for the Presidency who
has swallowed larger mass of opponents, ap-
parently Observation-Disclosures than ever before
trusted candidates, powers of digestion and ac-
cept the faithful Executive who has honestly
enforced the laws which Mr.. Greeley has advo-
Gated.
These propositions seem to be too plain to
need argument. Aside from all these, there
is the important fact that the industrial in
terests of the country are involved in this Is
sue, and this is view of the situation which
so intelligent mass of Industrious produces
as the people Of Maine are peculiarly
qualified to appreciate. 1t is an issue be-
tween certain progress and development of
our resources and doubtful series of finan-
cial experiments and general distrust and un-
certainty, This issue can be decided
by the voters of Maine, if they will drop
all local eonfiderations and thrill the nation
with result like that which decided General

A Candid Review of the Situation.

Every thoughtful Liberal Republican will
of course give one more thorough review in
his own mind to the grounds on which he
proposes to desert the party of progress, and
unite with political organization that has
always opposed human progress and human
liberty. Hundreds who few weeks ago were
beginning to identify themselves with the
cea ition movement have returned to the Re
publican party, strengthened in the faith by
their temporary departure from the right.
But those who remain dsaffscted ought not
to take so important step as that which they
contemplate without reviewing once more tho
whole case in the light of all that has taken
place since the memorable first OF May, when
the reformers assembled at Cincinnati. What,
then, is the prospect at the present time that
the succefs Of Mr.. Greeley, which hi. friend,
seek to render more probable by increasing
the vote of the Democratic candidate next
Monday, would give us more honest, eco
nomical and successful administration than
we now have?
Fist. az to the candidate, it must be uni
ver.ally admitted tina; the originators and
most conspicuous and deserving friends of the
Cincinnati movement regarded the nomina-
ton of Horace Greeley as removing all ground
for claiming that reform element in the
gathering had succeeded. Judge Stanley
Matthews, the Eueniag Post, Judge Hoadley
and others have told tho American people
very plainly how they saw political intrigue
coming in to thwart their good intentions,
and how the worst elements in American pol
itics, instead of the best, got the upper hand.
1t is well known that Schurz, Trumbull and
Sumner accepted the result only after long
and painful deliberation. Nor has the candi-
date, by his conduct since his nomination,
done anything to prove groundless the dis

guess he has found'by this time that it was

To-Day the election of State officers takes
place in Vermont. Vermont has been so
hopelessly Republican that the Democratic
vote has rarely been brought out. Its largest
vote was for Governor in 1868, when it
reached about 1900. With the purpose OF
aiding the campaign in other States, the
Democratic leaders will bring out the full
party vote and the Liberals claim that they
will swell the vote some 5000, making the ag-
eregate Democratic vote 10000. The Repub-
lcans put the Liberal vote at 5000 and expect
to bring their own vote up to $1,000 to 10000.
The Republican majority in 1870 was 81 300.
In 1868 the majority for Governor was 1926.
