POliticaI-HOn. A. G. LebrOke Declares
for Hayes and Wheeler-The Excursion
Season, etc.

FoXcRoFT, July 80, 1876
To the Editor of the Press:
The Republicans Of Dover and Foxcroft op-
eued tie campaign this evening by throwing to
the breeze two large Hayes and Wheeler flags
-one in Merrick Square, Dover, the other in
Foxcroft Square. Dyer's Cornet Band and the
drum corps furnished music for the occasion,
and after raising the Foxcroft flag speeches
were made by Col. j. B. Peakes and Hon. A.
G.. Lebroke. Mr.. Lebroke claimed to belong
to no political party, but he could not sit silent
and see the massacre of the negroes at South
Carolina upheld and excused by the Demo-
cratic press. Although the Republican party
might have faults, he felt that he could trust it
sooner than the party which took for its leader
a man like Samuel j. Tilden. A large crowd
was assembled to hear the remarks and the
hard hits of Mr.. Lebroke were like hot shot in
the ranks Of the Democrats. After the speak,
ing was over the band serepaded Mr. Lebroke
at his residence.
The annual excursion season at Sebec Lake
has opened and large numbers are going there
for berries, fish, health and pleasure. The
steamboat, under command of Capt. Hayes, is
in good order and makes quick trips At the
head of the lake we find Capt. Crockett at the
Lake House ready to make all comfortable who
may trust themselves to his care, and the dis
ciple of Isaac Walton may here find an ample
field for indulging in his favorite pastime, and
also get we'll paid in fine specimens of the fin
ny tribe. Salmon trout, pickerel and white
perch abound and fine strings are brought in
