Meeting Of the Greeley Republicans and
the Old BOurbOns Of Oxford County.

PARIS HILL, July 10, 1872.
To the Editor oftte Press:
1t has been known for several days that an
effort was being made 10 have as large meet
ing as possible of the Liberal p Republicans
and Democrats in Oxford County at Paris
Hill. 4is-------
The thing came to head yesterday. Long
before evening the Democrats from the sur
rounding towns began to put in an appear
ance, cautiously looking for their 'affinities,"
(as Triton would say). Some twenty-five of
these E6eral-minded individuals, the more
noted of whom were David R. Hammons,
Virgil d. Paris, Alvah Black, Kimball of
Waterford, ''Gen." Grover, S. R. Carter and
S. d. Hutchinson, congregated in the dining
room of Cummings Hotel. 'sWhere are the
Greeley menu" was their earnest inquiry.
''How many will meet us and clasp hands
over the bloody chasm?'' Soon the question
was settled by the arrival of s'Col" White
and the two Whitman brothers of Buckfield,
Crockett and Favor of Norway.
The meeting was called to order and the
object briefly set forth. 1t was agreed to
hold two conventions at the same time about
the middle of August and nominate mixed
ticket. In order to have the support of the
'Bourbons" the Greeleyites must swallow
Kimball, in order to prepare their disgestive
organs to handle Greeley.
Oxford County is to be Immediately can
vassed to ascertain the number of Greeley
Republicans and have them drummed out to
this "Democratic-R eform-L Liberal Republican
Convention, SO that the Democratic ring NAV
be placed in their noses and thereby secure
them for Kimball. How many Republicans
of Old Oxford can be caught in this Demo-
cratic trap remains to be seen. $50, g.
The Liberal Republicans of Paris will be
pleased to know that S. d. Hutchinson ''fully
agrees with Greeley except on the tariff Ques-
tiOn." IL Iisst - 80.
The individual who is to take upon himself
the patriotic duty of canvassing the county is
to have Hubbard's place in the custom house
at Danville Junction. & IME H ~
Before adjourning the chairman called upon
the Liberals" to take their places on the OPP
posite side of the table from their new asso-
ciates. The object of this manoeuvre am
told is to discipline these self-sacrifcing and
modest individuals to look each other in the
face tcithont laughing. Such, Greeley Re
publicans, is the scheme agreed upon to force
you into coalition with the Democratic par
ty, for the purpose of defeating Sidney Per-
ham in September 1 thank God that there
are but few of that class in Oxford county,
and that the most of these have warning in
season and time to consider. p.

was the other day called upon to attend Gratz

remarked: cit is seldom, doctor, that you are

FRIEND BENNETT. i wish to inform
YOU of how we got along here last week,
seeing that the Ckrop&cle is silent upon
the Temperance Movement, the Mass
Meeting, and all other excitahlc topics of
the week. | viii try only to give you g
a brief note of how the cat moved:
Monday night, the 18th, great tenn
perance mass meeting was held in the
Court House. There was gentleman
of honor elected chairman, and | felt
sorry for him. The meeting consisted
of the Good Templnr element backed by
the Church, and both parties were afraid
to come out Hat footed against the so-
called whisky ring. But there wns
Achan, the son of Carmi, in the camp,
and the camp could not move with good
grace. He purloined some Of the spoils
of Templarsm, which he doomed to de-
struction. This brought curse and de-
feat upon his followers. He was dis
covered and seat to the valley Of Achor,
north of Dodgesille.
Then they called upon Ahithophel, a
native of Tartarus, one of Eacheus' most
intimate and valued friends but he had
detection in the Templars cause, and
like Satan his father got kicked out Tor
trying to serve both God and mammon,
and he became the bitterest enemy that
the Templars had Being disappointed
that Bacheus did not follow his advice,
and foreseeing the issue Of the day, he
hung himself to "A limb--of the Law.
How, @, Ananias, hath Satan persuaded
thee thus to attempt to deceive the pco-
pie You have gone far enough. BE
one thing or another; not a cat abroad
and pig at home; q saint in church
and g devil in the corner. Come out in
your true colors. Yours,
pErEp
