The Judge of Probate.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The communication to the
Argus under the above head seems to have
been written by one who either has very de-
fective memory or wifully has not stated the
facts correctly.
Mr.. Drummond did not "attempt to stife
the public voice or resist the popular will, as
therein stated.
There was a great deal of Indignation felt at
the course pursued by the friends of Mr..
Cleaves in attempting to show that Mr..
Cleaves, more than any other man, was es-
pecially fitted for the office; and the indigna-
ton was open and manifest. Mr.. Drummond
only expressed the general feeling of the con-
vention, that the office of Judge of Probate
was as much political Office as that of Clerk
of Courts or County Attorney.
While Judge Cleayes has done the duties of
the Office very acceptably, there are many 9th
ers fully his equals
Certainly it cannot be claimed that Judge
Cleaves makes better or more acceptable
Judge then did Judge Barrows or Judge Wa
terman, and yet while they occupied this posi-
ton the Democrats each year nominated can
didate for that office, and is there any peculiar
ISdooil, JUST dt tillS tlllle, WHY ClcdN6S
should claim and hold the office irrespective of
party?
The only change proposed by Mr.. Drum
mond was to have change of Judge, not that
he had any feeling against Judge Cleaves, but
there were gentlemen in the Republican party
who would and could perform the duties fully
as acceptably as Judge Cleaves. Neither did
Mr.; Drummond propose to have the probate
business managed on party principles. But he
did object, and SO do all Republicans, to hav-
date Of ,axNf1,
for what public offices we shall make nomina-
tons, and for what ones we shall make no
nomination, because a certain gentleman de-
sires an election. DELEGATE

Good Templars Day at South Holli.

A grand temperance meeting under the au-
spices of the Good Templars was convened at
Clarks Grove, South Hollis, yesterday after
noon and evening. Many lodges in the vicini-
ty were represented by large delegations, and
the trains were well loaded with passengers
from the various stations along the line of the
P. & r. railroad. The beautiful grove in
which the meeting was held is easy of access
and is provided with excellent accommodations
for excursion parties. Many improvements
are being made by Mr.. Ira Clark, the popular
owner, upon the grounds, which are destined
to become one of the most favorite resorts in
the state. Mr.. Clark showed much kindness
to the attendants upon the temperance meet
ing, who expressed their appreciation by a
unanimous vote of thanks The invited guests
was a very agreeable feature of the day pro-
ceedings.
Immediately upon the arrival of the after
noon train from Portland, the meeting was Or
ganized with Major H. A. Shorey as Presi-
dent.
Mr.. B. F. Chadbourne of South WATERFORD,
an efficient worker in the temperance cause,
was introduced as the first speaker and deliv-
cred very eloquent and thoughtful address,
listened to with marked attention by the au-
dience.
G. w. C. 7. Chase and Rev. A. S. Ladd fol-
lowed with some excellent remarks.
A duet, entitled 'Arrayed in clouds,' was
then finely rendered by the Misses Deering of
WATERFORD, and was pronounced the pleasant
est part of the days programme, a repetition
of which, by request, took place in the even
ing, much to the delight of all.
A praise meeting was conducted at 4.30 p.
IN. by Mr.. c. d. Starbird and participated in
by Rev. J. Colby, Mr. H. White of Portland,
Col. Millett and others. 1t was very en-
thusiastic meeting.
The evening service was in charge of Col.
Millett, which was opened with prayer by Rev.
J. Colby. Fervent speeches were made by
Rev. A. S. Ladd, Ex-Gov. Perham, Major II.
A. Shorey ,iRev. j. Colby and c. d. Starbrd
Grand Worthy Counsellor of L. o. G. L.
There was an increased attendance and inter-
est in the evening. The grounds were illumi-
mated with Chinese lanterns, and there was
display of fireworks.

HARPER.
The Greenback Meeting Last Night.

The much lauded Colonel Jesse III. Harper
OF Illinois addressed about thousand people
at City Hall last evening. For coarseness and
ribaldry of manner and language, ignorance
and misstatement of facts, and violation of
common decency, Harper surpasses any Green
back orator that has yet spoken in this city,
His speech was made up, as a matter of course,
of denunciation of John Sherman and the Re-
publican financial policy, without the slightest
attempt to be logical or truthful, and was il
Illustrated with stories and incidents that were
decidedly ''off color" The temper and char
acter of the crowd and the speaker might be
well seen in the manner with which the deris-
i've illusions to Beecher, Talmage and other
noted clergymen were greeted. The greatest
applause was given when he said John Sher-
man lied in his throat "and so that remark
was repeated. The speaker quoted quite fire.
quently from history and cast some aspersions
upon ''Seneky's wife, which were as favorably
received as the delineation of "Seneky'' him
self. Twice it was said that the shrinkage
in the value of money has always caused
Heaven to weep and Hell to hold jubilee.
Much was said about SECRETARY troubles and
the speaker made frequent use of what he
called "Kankakee Latin Then certain
neighbors of the speaker, Joe Hickson, Mr..
Kiester and others were portrayed in magma
ton and made to hold dialogue with John
Sherman, very much to the amusement of the
auditors, and the imagined discontinue of the
Secretary. Tasso was quoted as authority on
ancient history, and Allison, Macaulay and
Doubleday were declared the three greatest
living authorities on the same subject. The
speaker expressed willingness to bet $50 and
thought he could borrow the money in the
city. He doesn't think any Republican paper
in the city would publish one of Thad Stevens
speeches as an advertisement at dollar
line. The best things said were about the
Democratic party, of which he made these two
statements: That the Democratic party is
the s'amen, tail end of the machine that is rum
ming BEFORE" and that it has always trotted
under the hind axle of the Republican wagon,
and its idol is the golden calf" Another ex-
preston was this: That the Republicans
think "God made the gold dollar in little
back room and threw it out where John Sher-
man found it," Land monopoly, against
which much of the jeremiad was directed,
produces among other things "lunackasy.' 5t
Col. Harper has been bowling good deal for
a week past and his voice stuck badly in his
throat in consequence. When in good trim he
is a match for our own Fogg, which is the best
advertisement that can be given wind ma
chine. Why he is called Harper it is hard
to tell. He must have been born Whooper.

DANGEROUS Observation-Disclosures are
predisposed to violent attacks of collie and
cholera-morbus during the summer season, or
to chills and cramps during the winter months
and in consequence are obliged to exercise the
greatest care as to what they eat and drink.
No anxiety need be felt in this respect if once
supplied with SANFoRDs JAMAICA GINGER,
which promptly relieves the worst cases, and
renders severe attack impossible if taken
when the symptoms first manifest them
selves. 1t is also an elegant addition to ice
water, seidlitz powders, wine, and the strong
est liquors. Be careful to call for SANFoRD's.

Forepaugh'S Circ11s

We hear words of praise on every hand in
regard to Forepaughs grand circus and me-
nagerie which will exhibit in this CITY next
Thursday. Our exchanges say that the street
parade is simply immense, and the tent show
is not one whit behind it. The menagerie en-
braces a splendid collection of wild animals in
Guiding u elephants, a lot of .camels and the
great Behemoth. The riders in the circus in
clude the best performers in the business.

CAMP PINAFoRE, Aug. 5, 1879.

CAMP fINAFORE, Aug. D, 1913.
Impatient to escape from the blistering heat
of the city and enter upon the enjoyment of
camp life, an advance guard of the Cunners
came out to Portland Head on Saturday. In
consequence the v G. A. did not muster quite
SO strong as usual on departing from the city
yesterday. But if there was lack in num-
bers there was no lack in iollity in the party.
We all rejoiced to leave the pent air of the
city and to inhale the refreshing sea
breeze, to listen to the breaking waves and to
watch the surf Dreaming along the shore. And
then 1t was such relief to eyes wearied with
the glare of brick and stone walls to have only
the broad ocean in view, sparkling in the sun
light, or gilded, as it was last night, by the
moons mellow beams
We found the tents pitched on our arrival
and were welcomed with hearty greeting.
From the looks of things, it was very evident
that those who took time by the forelock had
had right royal time of it, After satisfying
the inner man with one of Ruby's admirable
suppers and, seated on the rocks, had enjoyed
our pipes, we were invited to attend the re-
hearsal of musical entertainment which will
evening. Extensive preparations have been
made for this event. A large tent, capa-
BILE of accommodating good sized audience,
has been fitted up for the occasion and chris
tened the Opera House." Arrangements
have been made to shut out the light of day
and to artificially illuminate the interior.
We only had glimpse of the scenery and
costumes, and the music was heard under all
the disadvantages attending rehearsal, but
what we saw and heard satisfied us that we
have rich treat in store-something entirely
unique in the shape of an entertainment.
Brother John L. Shaw was the sole getter-up
and is the prime mover in it, and it was in
consequence of the labor he has performed
not slight one we assure youth producing
this affair, that it was voted to name the camp
"Pinafore. The title of the piece thus

been ported in the Boston Globe as having
placed himself in the Greenback party of
Franklin county, is very indignant at this re-

politics, but is known to be thoroughgoing
Republican, and he now takes every oppor-
