b0ro'.
The postponed celebration by the republi-
cans over their recent victory, which came off
Monday evening, was a grand success in
every particular. The street concert by the
band, Mr.. j. NOVEL; acting as marshal,
brought together large crowd, filling the
streets in every direction. All through the
village the stores and dwelling houses of the
republicans were brilliantly and beautifully
illuminated with candles inside and several
with Chinese lanterns outside. The illumi-
nation, together with a large bonfire at the
four corners, made the streets as light as
day. The village cannon, under the direction
of Nathan Dolan, spoke loud and long the
glorious victory. After the street parade, we
found Citizens Hall completely packed with
as enthusiastic a crowd as ever assembled in
the place. The tables fairly groaned with
the large amount Of refreshments provided
BY the ladies, and to which ample justice was
done by the large assembly including the
speakers who refused to say word until the
inner man was supplied. That being done
they gave us some rousing speeches. Mr..
Orrick HAYES was master of ceremonies, and
in behalf of the ladies', presented our repre-
sentative-elect with large pyramid cake,
brought in by Miss Ada Shorey. Around it
were placed in large letters the name of
Names next Governor, ID. F. Davis. DR..
Butler responded in a stirring speech of about
half an hour, in which he fittingly referred to

tative, for better man could not have been

Mr.. Leslie C. Cornish of Winslow spoke

platform was greeted with applause. We
have several times invited Mr.. Owen to join
with us in our republican rejoicings, but new

excellent treat which he gave us. Mr.. Owen
has many warm friends in Vassalbero, and

Senator Blaine closed an entertainment that
will long be remembered by the people
of this place. Z. w.
