The Portland daily press., 1878-09-07

The Democrats had their last rally at City
Hall last night. 1t was understood that Gen
Anderson was to make Greeuback speech
and there was naturally a good showing of
that party present. Chas. 81. Fling was the
chairman of the meeting, and instead of saving
the Greenback talk for the last of the meeting
as the programme was, he trotted it out first
and when that was over there was no further
interest in the proceedings for at least large
portion Of the crowd. When Gen. Anderson
was introduced he said that he was named out
of order, but thought it might be as WE'LL He
said that he had travelled all over his district
and felt sick. Perhaps this is not to be won
dered at. He said that he wished to thank the
other candidates for the same office to which
he had been nominated, for the gentemanly
manner in which they had discussed the issues
of the campaign. Then he proceeded to make
a savage assault upon the PRESS because after
he had challenged them to quote proofs of his
disloyalty this paper proceeded fearlessly to
show up his acts and words during the war
from his own recorded uttsrances After get
ting through with this TRADE he spoke again of
feeling sick and then went to work to pity the
poor laboring class. This paved the way for
good strong Greenback speech. He said that
John Sherman could not resume because there
were more greenbacks than gold. He did not
want to flood the country with greenbacks, but
he wanted enough for the demand of trade. He
wanted just as many greenbacks as can be
kept up to gold, and still he doesn't believe in
resumption. Iu fact it was terrific struggle
to straddle two horses going in different direc.
tons. In closing he made personal appeal
for votes. He said that Mr.. Reed was opposed
to the views he put forth, while votes thrown
for Cove were thrown away, so if they wanted
his doctrine they must vote for him.
DR.. Garcelon of LIE vision, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, who, by the way, is a
hard money man. made milk and water
speech, taking good care to keep clear of the
currency question and not contradict Gen
Anderson.
A. O. Brewster of Massachusetts, who is q
good speaker, made a very ingenious Demo
cratic speech. He mentioned Senator Blaine's
name when there was perfect storm of ap.
plause. He was very careful what he said
about honest money

of the Maine Veteran Association of Massa-
chusetts, comprising the ID Maine Cavalry and
the 18th and 18th regiments of Maine Infantry,
took place at Boothbay, September 4th and 9th.
On account of the storm at sea the veterans
from Boston were seven hours late. They
were met at the steamboat wharf in Boothbay
by the home veterans, escorted by the Bath
band. The entire company marched through
the principal streets of the village, then to
Fishers Hall, where banquet was provided
by the citizens. After the collation. they re-
paired to the upper hall and listened to speeches
of welcome by Geo. B. Kennson and VIM. b.
Reed of the home comrades. Maj. Eben
Hutchinson, President Of the Veteran Asso-
citation, made pleasing reply. Other speeches.

The following appeared in yesterdays A,

The following appeared in yesterdays Argus
SHERIFF DRESSER FACTS AND FIGURES.
10 the Editor of the argus:
Thirteen barrels of beer were sold in the city
from Saturday night till Monday morning
Where was the sheriff? Eight dollars per Gay
are drawn from the county treasury to pay the
sheriff for work he does not do. Is it fair or
honest to make Taxpayers pay $f16 annually
to the sheriff for service he. does not perform?
Another charge of Sheriff Dresser is twenty
tour hundred dollars annually for warming the
]aii and workshop. From Jan. LIST to July 1st
1873, six months, the County Commissioners
refused to audit sheriff bills amounting to f1f-
teen hundred dollars In other words, the
sheriff claims three thousand dollars annually
ne mas no right to, and hes employed counsel
to recover it.
Does man who makes such raids upon the
treasury of the county deserve u reelection?
Taxpayers have it in their power to protect
themselves by defeating this ''salary-grab"
candidate.
By law the salary Ct the Recorder OF the
Municipal Court is fixed at $500 annually.
The Sheritf's method of enforcing the law in
creases the Recorders pay to $4,000 annually,
and for this increase of salary the Recorder is
assessed heavily to continue the sheriff and
party in power.
The courts of the county are assessed for
political purposes by Dingley, Reed and Dres-
ser.
Let the hard working taxpayers keep these
figures in mind, and remember to give re-
buke on election day to these wrongs.

An Open Letter to the Voters of sfandIsh
and Baldwin,

An Open Letter TO the Voters of StandIsh
and Ii Baldwin,
GENTLRMEN:-The New Era of Sept. 4, rs,
has an article over the signature Of the Green.
back Town Committee, addressed to the voters
of Standish and Baldwin, instructing them how
to vote at the coming election, and in that art-
Gle am charged with violation of my official
oath 10 "valuing rich mans property one
tenth of its worth, and yours, farmers and la
boxers, at their real value;' and to substantiate
such charge they have resorted to the accustom-
ed Greenback loose and random manner of
using figures, and have singled out for the pur-
pose the firm of d. W. Clark s. Co. (ice dealers
of Portland), who have introduced new in
dustry in the town, employing large number
of mep, all from that vicinity, and discussing
large amounts of money among the same every
year and making absolutely nothing from the
town. Now is it safe policy for the inhabit-
ants to extort from this firm, by taxes Even If
the case was as presented by the Greenback
document would it snot be betters to have q
dozen such firms than to drive away one? A
careful examination of the official figures will
show that they have made thair charge without
any regard to facts. The valuation in 1876 was
$4,000; in 1877, $500; in 1878, $4,000. In 1878
additional buildings were made, and taking in
to consideration the depreciation in the value of
property, does it not appear that Just assess-
ment has been made?
do not propose to discuss this matter any
further, but leave the same to the opinion of
all honest and candid voters, and only offer this
in vindication of myself, being one of the
assessors of the town. TOBIAS LORD, JR.
