GEN. C1sAs. III. GROsyENOR, Of Ohio,
HON. o. G. MOORE, of New Hampshire,
The Rally Last Evening.

The Republican rally at City Hall last
evening was one of the finest meetings Of
the campaign, and the strict attention given
to the eminent Senator from Michigan
and the able orator from Ohio and
the applause that greeted their words
showed that the great audience was in
sympathy with them. Senator Chand-
ler's speech was plea for honest
money and an honest dollar. With weighty
and close logic when discussing the money
question, with words of fire when speaking
of the attempt to limit the national authori-
ty and put the States above and beyond it,
with grim sarcasm in describing the new
party and its aims, he discussed the issues
before the people; and his home-thrusts
were greeted with roars of applause.
One of the founders of the Republican party
in Michigan, the companion and friend of
Abraham Lincoln, one of the most striking
figures of that group Of great statesmen who
stood by and supported the glorious war
Administration he spoke as one having au-
thority, and his words commanded the ad-
miration of his political friends, and even
the respectful attention of his enemies.
Gen. Grosvenor chiefly spoke OF the cleo
ton in this State this Fall as the opening con-
test of the battle of 1880, pointing out that the
contest then would be between the two old
parties, and that Greenbackers who promote
Democratic success this year are paving the
way to a Democratic victory next year. The
point was well-taken and quickly seen by
the audience.
The speeches Of Senator Chandler and
Gen. Grosvenor were fittingly prefaced by
the admirable remarks of the chairman,
the Hon. W. W. Thomas, Jr., who indeed
struck the keynote of the occasion.

Great Sale Of Live Stock.
Consummated in this City Last Week

1t is no use to talk,-business has "riz,"
and the Greenbacker's occupations gone
Personal property has taken start aud real
estate must follow.
Sales and exchanges during the past week
have been astonishingly large, confidence is up
among the 9Os, while credit is so easy that the
Greenbackers are ready to take the fiat
word of the old hunkers with nothing to re-
deem it-but their lying promises.
A live stock sale of gigantic proportions
came off in this city last week. 1t will hereaf-
ter be reckoned as the great ''trade" move
ment of the season. Political stocks in Cum
berland County for several weeks before had
been pulsating heavily with upward tenden-
cies. Democratic ''sixes," payable in coin, Or
rags, or both, just to suit purchasers, were
steadily pushed up; while the Greenback 10
40's, payable at the counter of the "Bank of
Venice were initiating the market, making
things lively on change"
That Tuesday will be a day long remembered
by political stock iobbers. The old bunker

managers made corner in the political

check it, but to their amazement soon found
that controlling interest in their stock had
been secretly bought up by their Bourbon
brethren.
The shrewd old Demos, finding they had
got fast hold of both ends of the rope, with
great fairness Of speech, said to the National
brethren-"Let us 'iine drives'-anythlng to
beat Grant,-let us trade for the Offices" :"
agreed" responded the hard shell Nationals;
"but" they continued, "this kind of traffic
won't stand the light of day, let us shut out the
gentle Republicans and so into secret session.
But they soon found themselves in the con-
dition of the jury who tried the man for steal
ing the pork-a majority Of them either hod or
or erpected to hare, a part Of The bacon. There
was Noses, welding the gavel, who really
thought he had caught a glimpse of the prom
ised land, and money pots.
Then there was Cdleb-unlike his namesake
of Old-who declared-''we are not able to go
up and possess the goody land-without join
ing the old Amortes and then dividing the
grapes" And there too were Isaac ana Eo-
ward A. who both declared they had m1iked
the old Republican COW dry, and the only way
to carry on dairying operations hereafter would
be to turn the old Democratic "lop-horn' and

That Temperance Movement.

We are assured by gentlemen thoroughly
conyersant with the sentiment of the friends
of temperance throughout the State, that
the so-called political temperance move
ment in Hancock and Sagadahoc counties,
referred to in last evenings 1dcertiser, has
not the significance attached to it by our
evening contemporary. There is..nothing be-
hind the movement" and absolutely moth
ing for it to feed upon. The Republican
party has done, and is doing, for the temper
anca cause all that any reasonable friend of
the Reform could desire. Judge Tallman,
of Bath, is an erratic enthusiast, no was
never in sympathy with the Republican
party He has no following, and ''the new
party will not poll votes enough to consti-
tute respectable entry of scattering in
the returns. The utterances of the Liz
ing Issue found so lite response in
the temperance heart, that the paper has
ceased to breathe from lack of support from
the workers in the cause it so grossly mis-
represented. And so far as the Hon. Joshua
Nye is concerned there is no foundation for
the rumor that he is giving encouragement
to the movement Like many of his asso-
ciates, he expresses some dissatisfaction
that the law is not more thoroughly enforced
in the large cities of Maine; but, in common
with the great mass of temperance voters,
he has sufficient intelligence to know that
whatever evils may exist in this direction
can be more readily overcome within the
party lines, than by any action which shall
endanger the success of the party which has
given the friends of temperance whatever
aid they have ever received in the way OF
prohb bitory legislation.
