Republican Rally at Falmouth

Hon. o. G. Moore of New Hampshire spoke
at Falmouth Corner Friday evening. After
being introduced by Gen. j. M. Brown, the
speaker held the close attention of his audience
for more than an hour while in an able
and convincing manner he discussed the issues
of the day. He made an eloquent, logical and
forcible argument in favor of hard money and
honest elections. He showed the points of in
fation and also, pointed out the material
benefits which had resulted to the country
from resumption of specie payments. The
Republican party has done much, but it still
has work to do in protecting the ri ghts of
colored citizens at the South. The speech was
we'll received.

<ENNEBEC COUNTY,

a RELIABLE FRIEND OF TEMPERANCE.-It
has helped thousands back to life of sobriety.
1t is the best medicinal tonic for those addict
ed to the excessive use of intoxicants. 1t stops
that morbid craving for liquor which invaria-
bly, operates as a serious obstacle to reform, af-
fords the proper stimulus to the weakened and
abused system, and restores the organs of di-
gestion to healthy activity. Thus this prepa-
ration fills want long felt, and becomes a
power for good never before equalled in the
history of medicine. Such is the action of

Another Charge Against the Republican
Party.

another Cnarge Against Une hopuDIcan
Party.
At the Sons of Temperance Hall yesterday
the Liberals wrestled with the question "Why
did President Hayes refuse to pardon d. NJ.
Bennett, a man who had committed no
crime?'' A Mr.. Smith fiercely attacked the
President and said that 900 Republicans
would vote the Democratic ticket this fall on
account of the refusal to pardon Bennett Mr..
Norwood made long and rambling speech, in
which he called the President deacon
Hayes. He recalled some incidents which oc-
Cured, he said, before he could remember, in
which he played a prominent part. This in
tellectual wandering can be excused however
as the man is a Greenbacker. He said that
Col. Ingersoll told Sherman to tell Hayes to go
to hell Mr.. Smith said that the Young Mems
Christian Association had offered prayers for
Benefits CONVERSIONS fact which seemed to
make him mad. Mrs. Jane Thurston here
addressed the chair, and wanted to know why
the Liberals didn't address their request for
Benefits release to her, and not Gen. Hayes?
Mr.. Smith, who evidently didn't know Mrs.
Thurston, replied, but not to her satisfaction,
and she said that if people didn't like Hayes
they could take Joseph L. Smith. This ended
the speech making.
Bennett is an uneasy mortal who publishes
the "Truth Seeker" and whose mission seems
to be to print ''have," "give," &C., with the
final left off, and to circulate Hayward s
work 'Cupid's Yokes' The first is a harmless
pastime, but by INDUCING in the second he got
into the Albany State Prison, from which
President Hayes refused to release him.

SecOnd-lt contains fuller report OF the Legisla-
any other paper ThIrd-Considering it's editorial

gent discussion OF the questions in which Indiana
men are interested 1t is the best paper for the

uted III the State.
