The republican rally in this city yesterday is pro-

A GRAND SUCCESS

procession was concerned, but when one considers
that the sun was pouring down its unobstructed

from
FOUR TO FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE,
many OF them aged and infrm, stood facing the
scorching sun listening to two hours speech from
Governor Boutwell, on some OF the dryest themes
that ever entered political canvass. But al
though dry the speaker impaired charming sim.
plicity to his subjects that both interested and
amused his auditory. He defended the financial

making the sturdy farmers and lumbermen feel on
the matter of taxation something like the cells

The aniable Governor Perham could not resist the
temptation to give OF his peculiar broad smiles
when his brother from Massachusetts, remarked
that hundred years hence no name in American
history would be 80 honored and venerated as that

THE TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION
In the evening would have been very respectable
demonstration in some New York ward, diversified
by the gentle exercise OF throwing about hundred
young varets, who preceded the procession sing
ing Greeley hymns, into the PenObscOt River. The
display Of torches good, the cavalcade fair and
the speaking, especially when Judge Bingham ap-
piled the birch to certain Greeley orators who have
preceded him in the campaign, was quite enliven-
ing. Taking 1t all in all, the republican rally in
Bangor on the 9th Of August 1872 was creditable
affair. Can the Greeley men Guido 1t ?
