A "Loony" Greenback Leader.

OCARBOkO, aug. To-
Fears are entertained for the leader of the
Greenback faction in this vicinity, lest he may
lose his equilibrium altogether. He has
worked very hard to bring the discordant ele-
ments of his party into line, so as to retreat in
to the old bunker Democratic camp, with
colors at half mast, ii. e. take half the Offices
and humbly atone for their sins by voting as
the rebel power might dictate. 1t was hot
weather. and hot work. 1t was an important
crisis Some had deserted, others threatening
to- especially of those of Republican antece-
dents. But the work was accomplished and
success was panacea or partial relief. Yet
at times he is not quite himself. The other
night he was humming his favorite couplet,
We've got them dovetailed together,
Now we are birds of one feather,
when his horse walked out in front of his
store, which aroused him from his reverie, and
the inquiry was whose horse is it, and
where he came from? After careful examina-
ton he decided his head was not a horses
head, but colts head and belonged to Re-
publican neighbor After putting him in his
stable he discovered one of his horses was
gone, which proved to be the one he had
hitched.
In this state of mind, it was little rough to
upset his legislative proclivities, after he had
made trade with the Harpswell Democrats
that the nomination for representative should
be made by the Greenbackers of Scarboro.
However they are all birds of one feather,
honest and loving, and if the winning man
doesn't decline in his favor, when Scion comes
with them steers, they will all pull together

A Greenback interrogation Put to Rout.
WINTHROP, Aug. ]

WINTHROP, Aug. Is.
The Davis Club in continuing its noble
work is meeting with great success and much
encouragement The district meetings have
been well attended and considerable enthus-
asm has been manifested, especially at the one
held at East Winthrop on Friday evening.
The principal speaker on that occasion was A.
c. Otis, Esq, and when he had finished speak
ing C. S. Robbins a leading Greenbacker, de-
sired permission to ask questions. Mr.. Otis in
behalf of the meeting said he conld ask all the
questions he wished He was profuse in his
queries and all were answered correctly and
intelligently, but in different manner than
the questioner expected judging from his
complete discontinue and the satisfaction eX-
pressed by the audience In return he was
asked to answer some questions, which he
agreed to do. Several questions were put to
him. but with his own knowledge and the
armful of documents he carried with him, he
was unable to answer them, and got SO con-
fused that he asked consent to speak and de-
fine his position. He was granted ten min
utes tme and when he finished his endeavor
to explain, the audience was as wise as when
he began. Mr.. Robbins ridiculous failure
will prevent him and any of his associates from
entering Republican meeting with the view
of tuanting Republicans into Democratic
Greenbackers. The next district meeting will
be held at the Fairbanks school house on
Tuesday evening, and on Thursday evening in
the Cobb district.

SOUTH DURHAM, Aug. IS, 1879.


Mr.. EDIroR:-Seeing in this mornings
Argus piece headed Republican roughs at
a Greenback meeting" and knowing that the
piece was base, dirty falschood, will give
you the facts of the case. The Greenbackers
of the district there are only four) engaged
Greenback speaker by the name OF Storer from
Auburn, to hold meeting in the Ricky Hill
school house, and advertised "joint discus
sion." The speaker opened the meeting at
73O p. M, by stating that any one present
could ask him any questions they chose and
he would answer them. When he had been
speaking few minutes he made wild state
ment about the circulating currency OF the
country, and gentleman from Brunswick
doubted the statement when he was told to come
and see the figures for himself, which he did
and found that the speaker had made mis-
take of some hundred billion, in attempting
to read the figures Mr.. Storer then told the
Brunswick gentleman to wait until he had
spoken 80 minutes longer and he would then
give him the same length of time in which to
try and reply. The speaker went on for 80
minutes in language that we think would put
Major Willett, the Hallowell Greenback
speaker, to DluSl AL the Close tHo hepupii-
can from Brunswick arose and successfully dis
puted every point made by the other, and
proved to the audience how little the Green
back orator knew Of the finance and the condl-
ton of the country When he had closed the
speaker from Auburn jumped to his feet and
for an hour or more denounced the republican
party in most violent language. When he had
winded himself, the Republican supposed he
was to have the privilege of again replying to
him. This was denied him, whereupon one Of
the school agents of that district arose and
told the speaker he vas acting in an unfair
manner The Greenbacker said he should not
give another Republican chance to speak
that evening. The gentleman from Bruins
wick arose and thanked the speaker for the
few minutes he had given him, and he
received an answer that he was welcome to it,
as he had acted in a perfectly gentlemanly
way"
As to the Republicans breaking up the meet
ing it is false, as most of the noise was made
by Democrat, who voted the Greenback
ticket last year. This is known to be fact, land
the Gree nbackers who were present will
testify to it.
The meeting then closed as the farmers were
all disguised by the loud mouthed orator from
Auburn.
The two Quakers who were present said they
never had an idea of leaving the Republican
party, and if they had they would be too much
disgusted by the Greenback exhibition to ever
enter the party.
At the close three cheers were given for the
Republican candidate, Daniel f. Davis.

Count one for the Greenbackers. sample
Greenback large and enthusiastic meeting was
held Saturday evening in Harding's Hall. AS
many as dozen Greenbackers, backed by as
many more old liners and Republicans met
and pretended to listen to S. T. Springer's wild,
school boy harangue which he had very i'm
perfectly committed. Perhaps the weather
had something to do in making the crowd
small, but the absentees should thank their
kind stars for having such good excuse for
staying away. No doubt Mr. Springer convert
ed good many to the Greenback faith, but
they must have been among those who didn't
hear him, for it worked in exactly the oppo-
site direction upon those who did.

Republican Rally at Fairfield.


The Republicans of Fairfield held their
second rally at Fairfield Hall Saturday even
ing Aug. 10th, and like the first it was
grand success. The dull, rainy weather pre-
vented not only the friends outside the village
from attending, but also the holding of an
outdoor meeting as had been planned. The
hall was well filled with an attentive au-
dience, nearly all of whom were voters The
speaker, Herbert NJ Heath, Esq, of Augusta,
commanded the closest attention of the entire
audience throughout his address. The argu-
ments were presented in clear, concise,
logical manner, the points at issue carefully
stated and the conclusions so clearly set forth
that the Republicans are fully satisfied, and
this is especially so with the question OF State
finances about which so much is claimed by
the fusion speakers. Mr.. Heath met every
one of these bogus claims and showed their
falsity in manner that won hearty applause
from the audience. SETH
