The Calais meeting Friday evening was
addressed by the Mayor Hon. F. A. Pike,
and Hon. c. b. Rounds. Mr.. Pike carefully
reviewed the history of the counting out
fraud
A letter from the venerable Hon. Joseph
Granger was read.
C. b. Rounds, Esq, related his experience
at Augusta, and said the Council lied about
his retracting the charges that the returns
were tempered with. He had proof that one
town made q corrected return, and neither
now appears, but since the correction was
discovered, both returns have been destroyed
and blank papers substituted. Other frauds
could be proved. He counselled bitter re-
sistance. Rev. Mr.. Eldriege said the count
was the most outrageous rascally fraud ever
known. Hon. l.. G. DOwnes. member OF the
Council in 1874 and 1878, gave instances to

ell. Three thousand people were present.
The meeting was called to order by ID. +.
Noyes. Hon. Nahum Morrill, was nomi-
mated for president.
Gov. Garcelon was sent for by a committee
and came into the hall. His speech was a
personal defence. He was not conscious
that any act of his life had been reasonable
or in violation of law and order. Had no
apology to make. Had followed the consti.
tuition and the laws in the count. Complained
of harsh treatment and said he had even been
threatened with assassination. At the close
Of his remarks Mr.. Neal of Portland made a
brief speech in which he nominated Gov.
Garcelon as the democratic candidate for
President.
Scion Chase made brief speech. After
the meeting Gov. Garcelon was serenaded
and made few remarks.

WASHINGTON NEWS FROM LoNDoN-President
Hayes recently experienced un gaauuais quart
dheure with certain young lady named Eme-
Lire Nobbs. OF indianapolis. One day she pre-
sented herself at the White House and desired
TO see the President. She was admitted and
uShered into that Statesmans sanctum
scarcely In the room, when she rushed forward
and embraced him, sadly disarranglng his
'front.' Said she: T" love You and an come TO
marry you" The President begged to be ex.
cused, remarking that he already had one wife,
out the young lady declined to be put on,
exclaiming that despite that fact she intended
marrying him then and there, and TO add TO his
embarrassment kept hugging him ia a most
passionate manner. AT length happy thought
struck MT. Hayes in his dilemma. He asked to
leave the room TO fetch friend TO witness the
wedding ceremony. With reluctance she let
him go. begging him not TO be long, He soon
returned, accompanied by two constables, who
with no little difficulty removed the young lady
fIrm the object OF her misplaced affections
Her friends were communicated with, and from
the latest accounts TO hand she has been placed
In an asylum, her brain, it appears, being con-
Siderably disarranged. Ii is hardly necessary
to say that The President is now somewhat sus-
picious or young ladies who wish TO see him.
