THE BUILDING OUTLOOK.
Partial List of Buildings Erected This
Year.

The following is a partial list of the build
ings built, or in process of construction, in
this city, since the restoration of business con-
fidence by the resumption Of specie payments,
and is given by way of reply to the Greenback
cry that this city is falling behind 1t is, how
ever not claimed that it represents all the
building done, and it may be well to add that
it does not touch ON the very general repairing
of buildings which has been and is still going
on:

| Cumberland street.
Addition to Union Boat Club house.
No attempt has been made to make the list
complete, the above comprising such buildings
only as were noted by reporter of the PRESS
on walk around the city, and the complete
list would be probably twice as large, and as
has been remarked before, there has not been
for many years so much repairing going on in
this city as at the present time. Truly good
times came with resumption, and Greenbacll
croaking cannot disguise the fact. Certainly
carpenters, masons, brick-layers skaters; paint
ers, paper hangers, plumbers and gas filters
cannot be unemployed

Brunswick.

FRIDAY, sept. D.
At the Republican caucus yesterday, Ste
phen j. Young was nominated for representa-
tive, with no opposition.
A full house greeted the Republican speaker
at Centennial Hall, Harpswell.
A man who has been hired by the Demo
Gratis to make canvass of the town, was over
heard to tell prominent Democrat that after
making thorough canvass he found that not
a single Republican would vote with them,
and he was afraid number of Democrats and
Greenbackers would vote for Davis this cleo
ton. We could have told him this long ago.
There will be a crowded house to hear J. G
Blaine tonight.
Brunswick will give the usual 175 Republi-
can majority next Monday
The Democrats in this town are sick, especi-
ally the Argus correspondent who wrote the
local headed "Dastardly attempt to break up a
meeting" They have found out that the
"dastardly attempt was committed by two
boys, the sons of prominent Democrat. They
had been stealing fruit, and on being chased
from the orchard, raised the cry of fire to help
their escape The boys have acknowledged tc
the truth of this.

ing, Chambers band furnishing the music.

WHY Should They?

1t is claimed that certain candidates of the
fusion party in this county expect by the aid Of
Republican votes to run far ahead OF their
ticket. If there is member of our party who
contemplates voting for any name ON the
Greenback ticket, let him pause one moment
and ask himself the reason for so doing Is it
for the courteous treatment of our party by
the Argus in this campaign? Look at its nasty
personal attacks upon leading men OF our
party, and then say can you in any event vote
for a man on a ticket supported by such paper
Our candidates are far better men than theirs
for the same Offices Mr.. Locke is far better
man for the Senate than Mr.. True. Mr.. Pea
body is the equal of Judge Cleaves,. and Mr..
Webb, the one-legged soldier, is far better
fitted for the place OF Treasurer than the can
didate who is presented against him. This
personal solicitation of votes on the part of
candidates nominated by the mongrel party is
an insult to any Republican this year. What
has D. w. True or Judge Cleaves and the cam
didates for Representatives done that any Re-
publican should vote for them. On the contrary
it is fact that these men who despise the
principles of the Greenback party have accept
ed nominations from them proving thereby
that they are dishonest politicians. Let all
Republicans remember when asked to vote as a
personal favor for either of these men that it is
an insult to their honor as party men and let
them vote the regular ticket and not build up
the Demo-Greenback combination by voting
for men who deSpise you, REPUBLICAN.

New Gloucester.

A correspondent of New Gloucester writes:
l never saw the fields and pastures covered
with thicker and greener carpet at this
season of the year. On one acre and a half of
the farm of the late Andrew Spring eight tons
of clover and timothy hay were cut, including
the first crop and aftermath. The potato
vines have a rank and vigorous growth, and
still green in the late planted. No rust has
struck them, and the yield will be large of
been destroyed from day to day. 1t has been
q hard battle, but those who have fought it to
a successful issue will be generously rewarded
for their toll. Andrew Chandler has harvested
eleven acres Of good wheat. Many other
farmers in this vicinity Have raised fine crops
of wheat and will not this yearsbe compelled to
pay tribute to the West for their bread. There
is fair but not large crop of apples. If the
frost holds off there will be fair yield of corn.
Other crops are good. On the whole the far
mers have no reason to complain of hard times.

Capt. BoYton.

Yesterday mornings PRESS contained an
account of the steamer Empire States excur-
sion next Wednesday and the proposed exhi-
bition of Capt Boyton, whose wonderful feats
were cited all over the world. 1t has now been
decided that the tickets for the excursion will
be one dollar, and the steamer leave State
street wharf at $50 a. M, and will make a
one hundred mile excursion, passing all the
celebrated beaches. The steamer is announced
as the largest excursion boat in the world, and
the celebrated American Band will give two
concerts on the occasion and furnish music for
dancing.

Re union of the Emery Family

Purs uant to an invitation signed by several
of the name, family reunion of the Emerys
was held at could Newberrie," September 3d.
To them it was an occasion of great interest
and everything went off well, considering the
lack of previous preparations. On arriving at
the Merrimack House, and after brief inter-
change of greetings, Rev. Samuel Hopkins
Emery of Taunton was called to preside, and
George f. Emery of Boston and Portland was
appointed secretary, and Rev. DR.. Samuel
Emery of Newburyport treasurer. An execu-
tive committee was also appointed. The COM
some sixty persons, and more than eighty sat
down to dinner.
The name of Emery is of Norman origin.
Was introduced into England 1885, by Gilbert
D'Amory of Tours, in Normandy, follower
of William the Conqueror, and with him at
the battle of Hastings. In 1875, John and son
John, and Anthony, his brother, born in
Romsey, in Nantes, a shall cathedral town,
about eight miles northerly from Southampton,
embarked from the latter place for Americ a,
in the ship James, Capt Cooper, and landed
in Boston, June 3d. of that year. They at
once proceeded to Newbury. John there set
tied and died in 1883 The locality OF his
longest residence at Oldtown Lower Green, Is
still known as "Emery's Field" From HIM
sprang numerous progeny, whose representa-
tves are scattered far and wide. Anthony
went to Kittery. where he settled, and from

The True Story Of the South WATERFORD
MeatinQ
SOUTH WATERFORD, Sept. 8.

OOUTH w AIERBORO, oepu. d.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The communication in the
Argus relating to the Republican meeting
held here few days since for misrepresenta-
ton and prevention of facts cannot be excelled.
1t is true that Col. Montgomery and his adj
wiser, Mr.. Emery, the salaried County Attor-
ney of York, drove into town that evening.
The hall at which the Republican meeting
Was to be held was filled with large and en-
thusiastic audience of Republicans and we
declined inficting upon a Republican meeting
the disagreeable burden of listening to the
utterances in favor of State rights and repu-
diation that have characterized the speeches
of those two orators during their career in
York county. We offered and Mr.. Cleaves
proposed to meet the Colonel and Mr.. Emery
in joint discussion at any time and place they
would name, and both went into their boots,
''folded their tent and silently stole way"
We have since requested the opposition to
name the day and place, for joint discussion,
and they still remain silent with not only their
feet but stheir heads sheltered by their boots
into which they so uncer EN- oniously dropped

"A Word to Town Officers.

We desire to call the earnest attention of
town officers to the necessity of taking particu-
lar care to have their returns of the election
absolutely correct. Since we have seen that
Secretary Cove has prostituted his Office to the
basest partisan purpose, giving to a lying cam
paign circular his official attestation of its
correctness, we are prepared to see him stoop
to any baseness to keep his party in power
Republican town officers are therefore es-
pecially enioined to be sure to have their re
turns made to the Secretary of State correctly
Attention to this matter is of the greatest i'm
portance. Let our Republican friends in every
town have sharp eye to the making up and
sending of the returns Forewarned is fore

The Democratic Rally.

The Democratic rally at City Hall last night
was large and enthusiastic. Gen. S. j. Ander-
son presided and made the speech he has been
making for the last twenty years, denouncng
"radical legislation and predicting ruin to
the country in consequence thereof. The
speech sounds just as well as it ever did, and
Gen. Anderson evidently makes his predictions
with just as much carnestness and sincerity as
though they had not been dsproved by the
event time and again. He introduced two new
features: the first a plea for fusion and a pro-
test against an honest dollar; the second plea
for crippled Union soldiers. He was followed
by John S. Holmes Of Boston, especially en-
gagged as clown for the occasion. Mr.. Holmes
reeled off batch of fiat funny stories

funds is missing or has been "naisapplied."
We submit that this attempt to impr ess
voters with the idea that something is wrong
about the trust funds, is unworthy of Mr..
Pillsbury. Why, even Gov. Garcelon has
used some of these school trust funds this year
to pay State expenses-and properly, too.
VARIOUS CHARGES.
We have already explained all of the minor
charges which Mr.. Pillsbury makes, and we
to-day notice only a few.
He charges that Saving Bank deposits now
escape taxation. Answer: They almost en-
tirely escaped in 1856, but now every dollar
pays a tax of per cent.
He charges that councillors are paid for the
full period of every session, although they may
not be present but part of the time. So they
always were-just as members of the Legisla-
lure are paid for the full session, though they
NAV not be present quarter of the time.

How Can He Do TIP

Mr.. Daniel w. True, fusion candidate for
Senator in this county, was and is a member of
the "Order of American Union,' secret oath
bound order, whose members are sworn not to
vote for any Roman Catholic for office. If he
Legislature he will violate his oath, and that
of course he will not do. Hence Mr.. Sheehan's
name must come off. 1t is rather hard on the
boys, but they must take Mr.. True, Orange
cockade and all. REPUBLICAN.

Misery Loves COMPANY.

An Argus correspondent complains that Re-
pubicans won't attend Greenbrck meetings.
There has been no one thing that has afforded
me so much pleasure during this campaign as
the part of the misery endured by Democratic
managers in being compelled to sit by the hour
and listen to the insane rawlings of Col. Harper,
Capt. Trevellick, Col. Montgomery, Rev.
Moses Hull and other lights of fiatism.
No, we thank you, Mr.. Argus, we won't
listen to such oratory. We leave that to the

A. F.Moulton and the LIQUOR Law.

MIR. EDITOR: When the fusion candidate
for County Attorney in Cumberland called the
Convention to order that nominated him he
said, "All that think alike should act togeth-
En-" Very well; that is good logic. But by
this rule, how could he urge hard money Dem
ocrats to go in with soft money Democrats?
Do they think alike? Or how could he vote
with the temperance men in 1878 against the
druggists BILL and in 1879 vote with anti-tem-
perance men for the same bill? The bills were
in substance the same, but the men he acted
with held opinions just the opposite. One may
say he changed his mind. But if that was so
as a public man acting for others he was
bound in justice to his constituents to give the
reasons for such a radical change. III elected
to the office he is seeking, the obligation will
rest upon him to prosecute the violation OF all
law, and no law is of more importance, and
none half so difficult to enforce as the law
against Equor-selling. Now, if he is opposed
to prohibition, as his vote on the druggist bill
would indicate, and can change fronts so sud-
denly without a shadow of reason, would it be
safe to put the execution of our laws in his
hands? Con.
Another Argus Misstatement Corrected.
MIR. EDIToR:-The impression prevails in
this town to some extent arising from CON-
munication in the Argus of last Tuesday morn
ing, that Mr.. Charles C. Springer, the Repub-
lican candidate for Representative in this
district, has hitherto voted the Democratic
ticket. wish to correct this statement of the
Argus, for it is well known to all the leading
Republicans of Yarmouth that Mr.. S., since
his return from Europe in 1875, has always
voted the Republican ticket and no other.

Yesterdays Argus contained pretended
warning to the fusionists to look into the bal
lot boxes before the voting began on Monday
on the ground that the Republicans would re-
sort to ballot-box stufing. To an old reader
of that paper, this so called warning carries a
concealed meaning. For ! have noticed that
when the Democrats were bent upon mischief
the Argus always cries stop thief beforehand
thinking to throw dust i'll the eyes of the Re-
pubicans. Now that the Argus has unwit-
tingly given notice of the intention of the
Democrats to.resort to such disreputable means
again, the Republicans should thank the Ar
gus for its timely reminder and take care
that that "ward four business" be not sue

Republicans Beware

We are informed that Messrs. Pierce and
Dana's friends are trying to make trade to
sell out the rest Of the Representative ticket
nominated by their party in order to secure
their own election. This is the meanest kind
of politics. but there is nothing too mean fol-
some men to do. Mr.. Sheehan is just as good a
man as Mr.. Dana, and of far superior ability.
Let us if we get defeated have our whole
ticket defeated.
OF all men Mr.. Dana is tie most obnoxious
to Republicans. He has gone out of his way
to abuse our party; he is tool of Pillsbury,
and has neither talent nor political honesty to
recommend him. We have it in our power to
elect our whole ticket; let us do so.
We know that our nominees will not sane
ton any trade Remember Pierce and Dana
are the head and front of the Kangaroo combi-
nation, and are unworthy the support of good
men. A TRUE REPUBLICAN.
