MOUNT VERNON.
Rousing Republican Meeting
5000 People Present.
Great OvatiOns to the Speakers, senator
Blaine and Hon. VIM. p. FRYE.

With such fair day as Saturday was, the
rally of the republicans at Mount Vernon
could not be otherwise than successful 1t
was magnificent meeting, not only in point
OF numbers, but in the enthusiasm, in the
ovati0ns that were accorded the orators and
in the good results which will follow from it.
The great crowd which gathered in this little
country village, all came there by private
convcyanccs. They came fockng in early,
and when the time announced foEshc meeting
arrived, fully three thousand people were
gathered about the speakers stand. There
were delegations present from sixteen towns
in Franklin, Androscoggin and kcnnebec
counties. People were there from Farming
ton, Winthrop Augusta, and other places far
and near. The speakers stand was erected
in a favorable location, at the foot of rising
ground. SO that all could see the speakers
and where they could be famed and kept
cool by the passing brcezes. The audience
was an excellent one 1t was attentive; it
was orderly; and it seemed to be highly
pleased by the words of those who addressed
them.
Besides Senator Blaine and Hon. VIM
L. Frye, the orators of the OCCASION the
stand was occupied by prominent members
of the party in various sections. There were
two bands present, the Winthrop and Read
field. 1t was approaching half past two
o'clock, when Mr.. Carson Of the town COM
mttec, called the gathering to order and in
troduced j. S. Berry. Esq, of Wayne, a.
President OF the meeting. Mr.. Berry in ac-
cepting the duty, made few admirable re-
marks and II en- presented Senator Blaine,
who was welcomed with the most ringing APP
plause. Mr.. Blaine spoke for two full hours
and his remarks were able, convincing and
well received He spoke upon the financial
and Southern questions, and considered AT
some length the matter of State expenditures
Mr.. Frye followed. being most heartily re-
ccivcd. lie had not intended to speak so
long but the demands of the crowd were such
that he continued to address the people till 8
o'clock His speech was quite similar To that de-
livcrcd in Augusta. His closing remarks
werc specially eloquent and well chosen.
AT last the meeting closed, but the people
seemed reluctant to leave even after
listening three and onc-haf hours to the
speeches.

The greenbackers hung out a flag from
their headquarters on Water street Saturday
evening. DIR. Crooker made the little speech
upon the occasion, and the Augusta Band
discoursed music. After the flag raising II
greenback meeting was held in Granite Hall
which was addressed by General Sargent of
Massachusetts. The hall was well filled, but
the speaking did not seem to be very accepta-
bic TO the audience, which began 30 thin out
very soon after the speaker commenced, and
continued to until the close. The remark of a
greenbacker who was present. that it was the
mcanest speech he ever heard, and that such
speeches were making republican voters every
day. expresses very correctly the character
of the speech and the general opinion con
corning it.
