A certain young man brought his
afiianced down from the country to
see the sights. One day while they
were passing confectioner's the
swain noticed in the window a placard
bearing the announcement, "Ice

the saloon, ''that's a pretty steep
price to charge for one gal but, Maria,

it costs. Here's dollar, waiter, Ice

The Hot Wrath of the People.

The meetings which have been held to
give public expression to the sentiments
Of the people in relation to the great outrage
perpetrated by Garcelon and his associates
in crime, have manifested an intensity of in
dignation that is full of deep meaning.
The great meetings which were held at
Bangor and Hallowell, Saturday evening,
reports of which appear in our columns
this morning, speak as strongly as the
great meeting in Augusta of the detesta-
ton in which the Governor and Council
are held, and the determination of the
people to resist at all hazards the consum-
nation of the stealing of the Legislature
and the Mexicanzation of our State.
No one can read the remarks of the
speakers at these meetings and the reso-
lutions adopted without feeling the sin
cerity and earnestness that underles these
popular movements and realizing the
power which they will exert upon the
State. These are not meetings subservient
to party. 1t will be observed that the sem
timents of the business men, the clergy,
intelligent farmers and mechanics, are
spoken with great holiness and clearness,
both as to the character of the men and
the crimes which they denounce and the
imperious necessity of prompt resistance
and even to the last extremity. The near
er one comes to the common people the
more pronounced is found the opposition
to the giant wrong, and the more resolute
the will to meet it now and crush it out at
once. The suggestion that we shall meek
ly submit to the outrage now, trusting
that we shall beat the conspirators at the
polls next September and they will not
count us out again, is met with general
condemnation.
The heart of our people is right on this
question. These meetings show it; those
to follow will be even more outspoken
for prompt and decisive action. The hot
wrath of the people will destroy the
schemes of the conspirators as fire licks
up the dry stubble on the parched field

"They have done their work now how is
it to be met by the republicans? If we
