REPORTS FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF THE
STATE.
Kennebec county never was so thoroughly
alive in the republican, cause as at the pres
ent time The republicans who went with
the grecnbackcrs a wear ago are nearly all
coming back to vote the republican ticket this
year. Gardiner will give 100 more republic
can majority this year than last. Hard
money democrats will contribute money and
vote in support of the republican ticket. In
Wateryille 81 republicans voted the green.
back ticket last year; nearly every one will
vote the republican ticket. In every town
the republican cause is reported growing
brighter as election draws near. There were
rousing republican meetings at Windsor,
Gardiner and Readfeld Saturday, and more
of the same kind are to follow this week.
A private letter from reliable gentleman
says: Il have found things wonderfully
lively everywhere, through Washington, Pen
obscot and Pscataquis. Immense meetings
and great enthusiasm all along the line. The
people are wide awake. The canvass shows
gains in every town. The veteran clubs are
doing great work
! The Bangor Wing and Courier of Satur-
day says:
1--WE want to tell our friends throughout
| the State that old Penobscot is aroused and per
meated from centre to circumference with an
enthusiasm such has not been known for
"a ~ m M Eas or.
inth yesterday exceeded even the most san
| guine expectations and was the most impos-
| ing political demonstration ever witnessed in
| this county outside of Bangor twas a most
splendid and spontaneous tribute of the re-
spcct. confidence and affection OF the neigh
| bors and friends of the republican candidate,
and the spirit manifested by the vast con-
course of earnest citizens was full of deter
mination and confidence that is sweeping
through the State that Daniel +. Davis is to
be elected by the people as the next Governor
| of Maine. The glorious meeting at Oldtown
/ last night was full of the same fire of enthu-
siasm and the same indomitable purpose that
will stop short of nothing but a decisive re-
publican victory; and the assemblages at 9TH
or points all bear gratifying evidence of the
! grand progress of a triumphant campaign.
| The day for sham is over and the sober sec
ond-thought of the people is at work in every
community. The real issues are becoming
palmer hour by hour, and the LOYAL true
hearted citizenship of Old Penobscot county
is rallying for an old fashioned jubilee of
triumph in September,'
The Dexter correspondent of the Wing
