Political.

The reason why so many good men are
leaving the fusionists and joining the repub-
licans is because they have found ont that f,,.
sion means democracy pure and simple
Seeing that the road they have been travel
ling leads straight into the democratic camp,
with its State Sovereignty, Confederate Brig
adiers, and Eben +. Pillsbury. they conclude
to 20 no farther in that direction. Herein
may be found the reason for so many acqui-
sitions to the republican party from the fusion
ranks.-Biddefo,d Union and Jou,uai
The chairman of the great republican
meeting at Corinth introduced Capt. Bontelle
of the Wing and Courier as "one who had
performed as much and as efficient service as
any man in the county, or any man in any
other county, and one whom he knew all
would want to see and hear" A well de.
served compliment
The Maine Standard is developing into
jocosity. 1t modestly says: "Blaine seems
to dread Pillsbury more than he does them
rebel brigadiers.'" Blaine breads Pllsbury

Notes from the CampgrOumd.

Never have l seen SO many changes here
as have taken place during the last week
There are already several tents pitched, some
of which are very nice. DIR. Roberts has
built nice addition also j. l.. Fuller. q.
Williamson has raised his cottage about n
foot, which makes great improvement. If
Vosmus of Readfeld, could get his cottage
into line it would add very much to the beau
~ of the avenue. Two small cottages are
nearly finished in the north part of the grove.
John Frost of Pittston, has leased the cottage
of Mr.. Pratt of Aroostook. Mrs. Briggs of
Mechanic Falls has sold her section tent to
Mrs. II. Mariner of Iiallowell. Mrs. John
son of Augusta has leased Mrs. Hunts cot
tage. Cottages in all parts of the grounds
are occupied, and they present lively ap-
pearance. We look for large delegation on
Monday, and probably by Tuesday night
nearly every cottage will be occupied.
Capt. Race of Boothbay, arrived with his
family on Thursday last. ID. W. Sawyer and
family of the same place will arrive on Mon
day Several cottagcrs from Skowhegan and
Fairfield arrived to-day, as an advance guard
to the ranks that will arrive Monday. The
societies of the latter places did not erect their
large tents last year, but this year they will
come in full force and erect their large socie-
" tents, So that the southerly side of the cir
Gle will be filled, as usual. If fair on Mon
day. the large tabernacle will be raised, in
which to hold meetings during cloudy days.
and it will be indispensable during these cool
evenings. The rain of to-day comes in just
the right time, as the streets had become very
dusty. Instead of the stones that people have
been obliged to drive over, from the county
road, find a wide, smooth avenue. The
committee have taken unusual pains TO pro-
vide everything that will add to the comfort
of the crowds that annually visit this place.
Maple Hall is being fitted up with new and
comfortable furniture, and the rooms will let
all furnished for fifty cents per day only
Several rooms have been engaged already
The prospect looks like large and success
full meeting, especially as help from abroad
will be here to work with the Presiding FL
der.
The general desire has been expressed that
the services Of Rev. A. b. Earle, the Evan
gclist, might be obtained | learn that he
has signifed willingness to assist, and he
will be here undoubtedly, and the old valley
Of the kennebec, that has witnessed the re-
suit of his labors in the past, will send forth
her people in crowds to greet him in this
grove. Ii has not yet been announced who
will lead the singing exercises, but Presiding
Elder Mason is equal to any emergency.

cause of temperance, to assist in the services
that are to commence on Wednesday next,

HARRINGTON, Aug. 18th, 1879.
Referring to +. b. Ms. letter in the Ma

speech here. let me simply state the facts.
The General had made the statement that
the National banks paid taxes, first by paying
a tax to the National Governments next by
the bank stock being taxed by municipal au-
thorities: when this Joppa Bishop financier
arose and said the National banks paid no
tax. VERY WE'LL" said the General II say
they do, and will prove it from your own
mouth" and put to him two questions as fol-
lows: First-directing his conversation to
his interrupter, ''what do you say, do the Ma
tional banks pay tax to the general govern
ment?" After little hemming and hesitating,
+. b. NJ. answered, dyes Secondly-camc
the next question from the General-'Is the
stock of National banks taxed BY municipal

by the Methodist church, through their lead

murdered in the past two wears in the South,

assisted in educating the negroes. This, too,
when a few days since the leading paper OF

how impossible it would be to divide it, At
that very moment he was plotting secession

We can't advocate Smith and Garcelcn at the
