great excitement, nearly riot, here yes

the arms from being shipded and they
were returned to the arsenal. The escape
from bloodshed was very narrow. The
crowd was greatly excited and the mayors
entreaties to the officer in charge of the
arms induced them to give way to the de-

BIDDEFoRD.
Grand Republican Rally.
ELOQUENT SPEECH BY GENERAL GAR
FIELD.
[special pesnatch to the Press


BDDEFoRD, Sept. 1.-The Republicans
crowded City Hall this evening to listen to
Gen. Garfield, who addressed them on the
questions of the hour. Before the meeting
opened the Institute band of this city played
for nearly an hour in front of the hail. The
hall was completely filled at an early hour
many Democrats and Greenbackers being
present. Among the prominent Republicans
OH the platform were Judge Luques, Hon. j.
HI. Goodenow, Hon. E. HI. Banks, j. r. Libby,
Esq, Ex-Mayor Pierce, E. p. Parcher, Esq,
Horace Ford, Esq, and Hon. Roscoe L. Bow
ers.
Gen. Garfield came forward and was receiv-
ed with loud and long continued applause.
His speech was very able and eloquent one.
1t reviewed the currency and Southern ques-
lions and pointed out the danger of leaving
them in the control of the Greenbackers and
the solid South. He was frequently inter-
rupted by applause, and the speech evidently
made a deep impression.
The feeling is that the Greenbackers are dis
Outraged and will hardly make much of fight
for the rest of the campaign. The Democrats
were not very ready to furnish money to help
on the Greenback cause, before the City Hotel
constitutional convention of Saturday, but
since the plain declaration of the determine
ton of the Greenbackers in any case not to
help the ee ction of Garcelon, they have been
less so, and there will be lamentable lack of
funds in the Greenback treasury unless Chair
man Cove and his subcommittee comesto the
rescue The Greenbackers are talking of having
Elliot King and BE La Matyr here, rand to let
them do the talking at a last grand rally, but
Mr.. Cove is far too jealous of the Portland
publisher to allow him an opportunity to air his
eloquence before the Greenbackers of this city
who may be asked to vote for him for Congress
next year.

manner, making his first appearance before a
Bangor audience and affording much pleasure
and satisfaction to the audience by his frank.
manly and able bearing.
Gen. Sheridan followed in speech of an
hour and quarter, which WIS one of the
most eloquent ever listened to in this city
He spoke briefly on financial topics and to
greater length on national issues, holding the
immense audience spell-bound by his elo-
quence, the stiffness only being broken by fire.
quent and tremendous outbursts of applause in
response to his many beautiful and thrilling
passages. No speech ever delivered here ever
gave better satisfaction.
Loud cheers were given for Corporal Davis,
the next Governor of Maine" and at the
close of the meeting the speakers were escort
ed to the hotel by the club.

GREENBACK FALSEHOOD.
The Statement of De La Matyr Replied
to.

The Statement of De La Matyr Replied
to.
Especial to the Pressl
SAco, Sept. When the Rev. Dr. De La
Matyr spoke here he made the astounding
statement that if the corporations of Saco and
Biddeford had closed their mills eight years
ago, and locked up their money it would have
been better for them and for the people.
Doubtless De La Matyr and the rest of the
Greenback leaders would be delighted if bust
ness could become so much depressed that all
corporations would be obliged to shu. up, and
worknen be thrown into the streets, for it is
by depressed business that men like them get
into Congress. But look at the matter as it is.
Our four manufacturing corporations have
pay roll of nearly, if not quite, 100000
month in all, or neatly one and a quarter
million of dollars year. Can the Greenback
leaders hope to make the intelligent working
men of our State believe that it would have
been better if the laboring men and women of
Saco and Biddeford had not been given the OPP
portunity of earning in all $10,000,000 by their
labor? And for the corporations who have
kept $500 people employed and have paid
them to the last dollar, what of them? They

eight years, and an increased dividend since
resumption has brought good times. One
thing more. The wages paid to the help is
% per cent. larger than in 1860, and the work
ingmen's dollar will buy more of any given
article than it would then.
This heartless statement made by one who
processes to hold the cause of the laboring man
so dear, shows the spirit which actuates the
Greenback leaders. The true friends of the
laboring man are those who give him work,
and his true party is the Republican party that
has long defended his interest.
The general opinion is that every Green
back speech made so far in this vicinity will
add to the vote that will be cast for the Hon.
Daniel F. Davis. One of our prominent bust
ness men says that he has received an order to
purchase some of our manufacturing stock for
gentleman who desires to hold it as an in
vestment, but has so far failed to find any for
sale. One by one the campaign cries of the
Kangaroo combination are dying out. We of
Saco and Biddeford know that the revival of
business is real and that it promises to con-
tinue, and we regard it as more reliable and
satisfactory than Secretary Gove's figures of
the reduction effected in State expenses by the
combination.

rSnecial Disnatch TO the Press

Especial Dispatch to the Press.
BERWICK, Sept. lit seems that the meet
ing held in your city Saturday was part of a
plan to put a candidate in the field on the
Pomeroy platform to anticipate the organiza-
ton which will be effected Immediately after
the defeat of the combination next week
Then, it is proposed to at least attempt to cut
loose from "entangling alliances" and run
what is left of the Greenback machine all by
itself. Beside the desire to do this, there was
the wish to have constitutional candidate
ready in case the Greenbackers should happen
to have majority in the House, and there
seems to be good reason to suspect, from con-
fidential communications made here by @ lead
ing Democrat today, that the Democrats are
also specializing in futures and will split
their vote between Garcelon and Gen. Ander-
son, so as to send their names up to the Senate
in the very improbable event of their obtain
ing an ascendency in the House. The Demo-
Gratis here are indignant at the manifest de-
termination of the Greenbackers in any event
not to support GOV. Garcelon, and indications
are that many hard money Democrats despair
ing of Garcelon's election, will vote for Mr.
Davis direct as a way of furnishing the Green
back party for its arrogance.
