The Outlook in Franklin County.

PENNINGTON, Aug. %.
notice in recent issue of the Argus COM
munication, in which the writer takes excep-
ions to the associated press despatch relating
to the action Of our Democratic County Con-
veution He states that only "one man" OBJ
iected to the fusion of the party with the
Greenbackers; then goes on to say that the per-
son who objected "only spoke in behalf of the
voters who sent him as delegate"
Now the Argus correspondent is correct in
this statement but there is a mine concealed in
the last portion of the sentence quoted above,
which on election day (f present prospects con-
tinue as favorable as now will be fired and
will blow the fusion ticket high in the air.
This zone man. is gentleman of high moral
standing in his community, and a lifelong
Democrat, and does not relish the idea of Civ
ing up his party. He did speak sin behalf of
the voters who sent him as a delegate and
these same voters back him up in doing so.
We hear from reliable sources of many Dem
ocrats in New Vineyard (wherc that lone
man. resides), also i'll Phillips, Strong, Free
man, Jay and other places in this county, who
arc Disguised with the fusion and will not
drink it down"-as ordered by certain Dem
ocratic lawyer here-and this lone man" OK
pressed the sentiments of his party brethren in
all these places.
Already we hear of wrangling i'll the fused"
parties, each desiring to send their candidate
to the legislature, and making nominations;
we also hear of men in both these parties who
will not go to the polls this year, or if they do
will vote for Davis, and the leaders are strug-
Cling terribly to retain them, with apparently
poor success.
On the other hand the Republicans are thor
oughly united, and are making gains i'll nearly
every town-as one recently remarked, I'VE
never felt better or more confident of success"
On the 9tll of September we predict that the
vote for the fusion ticket will be materially re-
duced and the Republicans will elect their en-
tire county ticket-and perhaps gain one rep
resentatiye to the Legislature.

Fryeburg Camp Meeting.

Saturday evening according to previous ap-
pc intment Mrs. j. d. Watson of Philadelphia
delivered temperance lecture of an hours
length to an attentive audience. Mrs Watson
is an Irish lady of culture, who has been
redeemed from the thraldom of intemperance.
She came to the ground perfect stranger,
though well recommended, and won many
friends who gave her hearty greeting at the
close of her very interesting lecture.
AT half past ten o'clock Sunday morning a
large and attentive congregation listened to a
discourse from the stand text John IA; g.
At half past two Sunday afternoon the

during the day, held in the cottages and tents
were spirited and profitable. The number OF
people on the ground during the day was more
than for some years past, and general order
and decorum prevailed. In the evening
social meeting was held in Chestnut street
tent in which large number participated.
This closed the religious services of the occa-
sion. Quite a number were converted during
the meeting, and we trust much good was ac-
complished.

GORHAM.
Hon. Eugene Hale on the Issues of the
Day.

The Rep ublicans of Gorham were addressed
last evening by the Hon. Eugene Hale. Red
lon Hall was filled to overlooking. The
speaker was introduced by Mr.. Lewis McLel-
Ian, and was greeted with cheers. He COM
menced by addressing the honest Republicans
who had in former years been led into the
Greenback ranks He exposed the trap laid
for them which was to aid the old Democratic
party. He then spoke at length upon the
action of the Southern Senators in the last
Congress. The doctrine of state rights is again
revived. The action of the late committee on
appropriations was reviewed, showing their
course and tho answers OF the hepup-
lican majority. This answer was TOO
much for several old fellows who were presum-
eddy too much secesh to appreciate the re-
marks concerning the South and its represen-
tatives.1 Now we didn't think the war left
things in that way. Mark the words OF GER
yet been declared that this is a nation What
did we declare it in 1865? And again, there
is no such thing as peace OF the Unlted
States. There is peace suppose III SCUM
Carolina. 1t is peace that IS told up IN tle
bodies of the dead, But there is no peace OF
the United States AT this iuncture several
more advertised their loyalty by leaving the
hall. The Democratic party North ana
South is saturated with the doctrine OF States
rights, and / counsel every good honest
Republican to look twice before he leaps.
He then spoke of the other questions, the
currency, the nations honor and the nations
credit. Men came from nobody knows where
to teach Maine people finance. Men who
could not make money themselves wanted the
government to make it for them. When
money depreciates the loss comes on the
people and the reverse is true. Farmers and
labOrers who are interested in the State OF
Maine would have stable and unfuctuating
currency.
Shermans policy and the resumption act
were then reviewed. Mr. Sherman kept
bringing our money up until at last he an
nounced that every one of our greenbacks was
made as good as gold. We waited for the
failures. They did not come. The currency
of our national banks and treasury are good all
the world over We have currency that
would be as good as gold if every one OF the
national banks were to fail. Scion Chase is
always talking about butter. Take farmer
who has tub of butter, let him go to Portland
and he can get today as good suit of clothes
with his butter as he could a number of years
ago. The moment we got resumption the
money that had been hidden in the holes and
corners came out again; and that started the
wheels of industry.
The speaker then recited instances to show
the revival of business in New England.
The speaker held the closest attention of the

CoNWELL-o'BRIoN.
The Portland Boys Win the Pair Dared
Race.

The great double scull race came off at
Greenpoint, L. 1. Saturday last, but it was not
until yesterday, when Conwell and O'Bfion re-
turned that any news of the affair reached this
city, about the same time with the New York
papers.
Conwell and O'Brion are looking well and
may be pround of their victory. The contes-
tants in this race were Hill and Brawley of
Boston, the Googin brothers also of Boston
Faulkner and Delano of Charlestown Mass,
Ellis Ward and mate entered from Philade-
phia, and Conwell and O'Brion of this city.
Ward and his unknown partner were the ia
vorites The crews took positions in the order
named. Hill and Brawley being Oh the inside
nearest the shore. Taking positions consumed
an hours time. Finally in sheer desperation
and while the boats were very much huddled
to gether, the word was given for them to
ego.
The Faulkner pair almost instantly came in
to collision with the Wards, but no claim of foul
was made. Meanwhile Hill and Brawley, ON
the extreme left of the line, had taken decided
lead, followed by the Googin brothers, with
the Portland boys third.
At the half mile Hill and his partner led the
other Boston crew two lengths, Conwell and
O'Brion being one length further behind. The
Faulkner pair had crossed over to the extreme
right and were just ahead of Ward and mate.
The surprise of everybody at seeing Ellis Ward
and his partner last in the race seemed to be
felt by Ward himself. He and his companion
rowed nervously and as if they were thorough
ly astonished and upset.
The mile point was reached by the Brawley
and Hill pair in 5m. 24aas. and by the Googin
brothers in 5m. 3Oa The Portland pair Con
well and O'Brion) were, however, close behind
rowing q beautiful stroke, and within the
next quarter of mile they went to the front,
turning the u mile buoy in ION. 40s. The
Googins had also spurted and were second to
turn the buoy, in ION. 40as. Hill and Brawley
turned in lin. S., Faulkner and his partner
in lin. 3aas., and Ward and his mate in 11m..
As
At the end of two miles the only changes in
the relative positions of the boats were made
Ivy the increased lead of the Portland pair and
the falling further behind of Ward and his
partner
In the last mile Hill and Brawley made
desperate squirt for second place and somewhat
closed up the gap that separated them from the
Googin brothers. The younger Googin, who
pulled bow, released the hand from his oar and
dashed water upon the back of his brothers
head. This seemed to give the elder Googin
renewed strength and the gap was quickly
opened again. The squirt for second place,
however, lost Hill and Brawley third place, for
tired by the effort they were unable to cope
with Faulkner and his partner, who now came
up with rush, and dropped to fourth posi-
ton.
In this order the line of finish was crossed in
the following times: Portland pair, 22m. 213s.;
Googin brothers, 22m. 3244s. Faulkner and De-
lano 22m. ATS; Hill and Brawley, 23m 9ls.
Ward and mate were not timed.
The judges were Messrs. Fitzgerald of Phila-
delphia and e. Plummer of New York

Another Greenback orator Routed.

OTIsFIELD, Aug. %, 1879.
Mr.. EDIroR-At Greenback rally at this
place on Friday night last, at which all the
Greenbackers in this town besides many of the
same persuasion from adjoining towns were
present to hear from L. w. Taylor OF Phlla-
delphia on the financial question. Everything
did not go smoothly. Mr.. Taylor after going
through the usual course of misrepresentation
and abuse, invited those who desired to do SO
to ask questions. Mr.. III. M. Sylvester OF
Portland, who happened to be present, awaited
himself of the opportunity with such success
as to utterly rout Mr. Taylor, to the manifest
discontinue of the Greenbackers who admit
ted tie defeat and to the delight of the Re-
publicans present, who declared it to be the
best stroke given i'll their favor during the
campaign. We expect to render good ac-
count of ourselves. REPUBLICAN,.

The South WATERFORD Lie.

SOUTH WATERFORD, Aug 70.
In last Thursdays issue Of the Argus find
an item, "Their Ardor Dampened,' followed
by false statements. First, the statement that
no provision was made for the speaker, as
arrangements had been made with Mr.. Piper
on Thursday previous. We did not engage the
hall until Monday, for the reason that it was
found that if the weather was fine, the hall
would not accommodate one-half that would
be present, and arrangements had been made
with j. A. Smith for the meeting in front of
his house. We made arrangements with Mr.:
Roberts for the speaker to stop with him all
night and paid the bill, as we did for the hall,
which is more than can be said for the Green
hackers. Until now this town has not been
guilty of furnishing correspondent mean
enough to furnish such lies for the Argus,
and we are sure this was done by imported
stock, and they are welcome to the benefit:

PORTLAND 81 ROCHESTER,
The Road Reported Leased to the Eas-

A gentleman of this city, well known to our
merchants, was riding from Aver Junction
where he had been passing Sunday yesterday
morning, on the Worcester & Nashua road, in
the Pullman car. A number of gentlemen,
evidently railroad men, were also occupants Of
the car; they were discussing railroad matters.
Above the noise of the train he caught the
names of Eastern Portland & Rochester
When the train stopped at Nashua the gentle
man asked one of the party if there was any
important railroad news, to which the reply
was made that the Eastern Railroad had leas-
ed the Portland & Rochester for term of
years, and the lease would go into operation
