at Lieut.. Grassford, of the police force, who
made the arrest. The latter shot did not take

ANOTHER GRAND REPUBLICAN
MEETING IN GRANITE HALL.
THE OLD MAN ELOQUENT"
SPEAKS.
COY. pcrham IS Introduced by Horace
Greeley.
Great Enthusiasm.

Notwithstanding the rain TELL in torrents
last evening, the Republican meeting in
Granite Hall took place in accordance with
the appointment. The audience comprised
several hundred of our most thoughtful and
intelligent citizens, few patriotic ladies and
small sprnkling of the best class of demo-
Gratis. l he meeting WAS called to order by
w. Ii. Libby, E>q,, who called upon Judge
Iitcomb to preside. Hon. John A. Bingham
OF Ohio, was introduced and received a cor
dial and enthusiastic welcome from the audi
ence. He spoke for about an hour aud u
halt, with rare eloquence and power We
have no time to give even a synopsis of what
he said. His vigorous, brilliant, glowing
utterances in behalf not of a party, but OF his
country in its present crisis. fell deep into
the hearts of his hearers, who gave response
by often Ieated enthusiastic applause. His
words carry conviction, and we pity the dem
ocrat who could listen to his answerable
argument and patriotic appeals and still vote
for Horace Greeley for President of the coun-
try. AT the close Of Judge Binghams adj
dress, the chair very fellcitously introduced
Governor Perham by reading one of Horace
Greeley's editorials in the Tribune of the
summer Of 1871, in which Mr.. Greeley high
ly extolltd Gov. Perham and hoped the peo-
pie of Maine would be fortunate enough to
elect him Governor. This introduction was
nerrily received by the audience and Gov.
lerham was welcomed warmly as he stepped
forward He spoke about half an hour, on
the issue of the day; be declared the question
to be Shall the country be restored to the
rebels Of the South and their allies2 or shall
it remain in the hands of those who saved it
from destruction? He was frequently inter-
rupted with applause AT about ten O'Clock
the meeting was closed by six rousng cheers,
and the rendering Of patriotic air by the
Augusta Band which furnished the music for
the evening.
The Tanners did not turn out as they
wished and had made arrangements 10 do,

EDITOR or Journal Some of us mill men
along the kennebec, hear that it is said we
are all going for Horace Greeley. But that
cat won't jump. Horace Greeley once tried
to stand upon two mill logs at once and could
not do it. SO says a western paper. In lS4l
when getting subscribers for his Tribune, he
started to go across mill pond on loose logs
They bolted as we millmen know they always
do, and this boiling philosopher and politician
soon found himself on two logs and two legs
which spread wider and wider apart the more
he tried to keep them together, till he liked
to have split up clear to his neck. \ boy on
the shore, called out GO ahead mister, or
you'll be ducked | swow,' He didn't go
ahead" but he did go in up to his neck
That's all he knows about riding a saw log;
and he'll find it about the same if he calculates
to ride into power with one foot on republi-
cans and the other on the democrats. We
shall slide out and he'll catch sousing, true
as you live! Please tell him so when he
comes this way. SPRUCE KNOT.
