Hon. F. N. Dow at Cookies Mills.

MIR. EDIToR:EThe Republicans in this
vicinity held meeting last evening, which
was addressed by Hon. f. N. Dow of Portland.
The speech of Mr. Dow was strong argu-
ment upon all the issues of the campaign, and
deserves to be noticed especially for its free
dom from ridicule, or abuse of either Green
hackers or Democrats. many of whom were
present. His address was courteous and
gentlemanly to all, and strongly in contrast
with the remarks of Mr.. Caleb A. Chaplin a
few evenings previous. Mr.. Chaplin advised
each Greenbacker to prepare a supply of
kindling wood, tar and feathers, and to apply
a coat Of the latter to every Republican.
Perhaps the gentleman will advise Paris
green next year, or possibly the shotgun policy
Of the South.

Hon. J. D. Updegraff at Boothbay.

MR. EDIroR:--The Hon. j, L. Updegraff of
Ohio, addressed the people of Boothbay on the
ODD inst. The meeting was large and very en-
thusastic an audience in regard to numbers
and intelligence that any speaker might be
proud of. The illustrations of the speaker in
regard to finance and the contrast between our
countrymen and those of other countries were
excellent, and there is no doubt but that you
will get good report from the Republicans
and honest money Democrats of Boothbay
next month. REP.

Fla.r Raising at Hiram.

The flag of the Union, with the name of
Daniel +. Davis upon its border, was unfurled
again at Hiram Bridge on Monday afternoon,
indicating that another booming of the federal
gun-a voice for the Union-might soon be ex-
pected, and in the evening good audience
gathered in the hall of the Mt. Cutler House.
This time it was the Hon. Horatio Bisbee, Jr.,
all the way from Florida, returning to his ma
tive State at the signal of danger, to refute the
heresies of thesGreenback course. He sees in
its success calamities more appalling than in
secession itself even and portrayed them with
great vigor as well as to show up some of its
glaring abSurdtieS.

Eben F. Pillsburv at Saccaranna.

The great Greenback and Democratic open

at Saccarappa, with Eben f. Pillsbury E. M.
Boynton and II. B. Sargent, as stars, came off
according to the bills, but with the two latter
actors left out.
Chambers and the Westbrook Bands were
in attendance and played for about an hour
previous to the speech-meeting.
Mr.. Pillsbury began speaking just before s
o'clock, and for an hour and half he harang-
ued the crowd on the Estate issues that have
been so thoroughly ventilated by the Lewiston
Journal and shown to be tissue of false
statements. There was very little enthusiasm.

Judge Kingsbury said at temperance
meeting lately that Joseph L. Smith was last
year III favor of hanging the rumsellers and
the Argus refused to publish what the Judge
said. We hear from dealer in the ardent
that Joseph L. Smith said in this city that the
sheriff act for the enforcement of the 'Maine
Law" was what was running the state. 1t will
be seen that Joseph is playing double. To
the country Greenbacker he is reported as all
right, crusader as radical as Gen. Dow, upon
the question of enforcing the law. To the city
lusonist he is represented as a liberal opposed
TO the law. Which is right and who is being
cheated? sVoTER.

Hon. w. W. Rice of Worcester, Mass, adj
dressed between three and four hundred
citizens of this vicinity last evening, mostly
Republicans ON the issues of the day. He dwelt
largely upon the cause of hard times which have
prevailed in our country and proved conclu-

He also showed that we were on the road to
prosperity and if our financial policy was not
disturbed we as a nation would see such pros

close three cheers were given for Hon. d. f.
Davis and three cheers for the speaker.

THE COUNTY FINANCES.
A Letter from Treasurer Mcclellan.
COUNTY TREAsURER's OFFICE,
August 81, 1879.

COUNTY TREASURES OFFICE,
August q, 1879.
John N. adams, Esq, Editor of the Argus:
DEAR SIR: My attention has been called to
articles in your issues of the Goth and 9th
insts on the State and County expenditures,
in which reduction of $4,000 in county ex-
penses is claimed.
In relation to Cumberland County permit me
to give an extract from the County Commits
sioners Report for 1878, page 49,
eve think that $4,000 raised by taxation,
with the $4,000 estimated to be in the County
Treasury on the first day of September next, is
the least possible sum that will pay the county
expenses for the year commencing September
l, 1879, and ending September 1, $780,"
Signed by
SOLOMON STUART, Comm'rs
JOHN l.. SWIFT, : of
JACOB CLARK. Cum. Co.
LEWIS MCCLELLAN, County Treasurer.
On page y of the Commissioners Report
there is given their estimate of the receipts of
the county for that fiscal year as follows:
Estimated receipts from courts, &c.,. S11 100 90
surplus on hand Sept.
~, IN treasury '.......'........'... II,6O0 20
S7S,7OO 90
This amount balances the estimated expendi-
lures for the fiscal year ending Septe mber 1,
1880, which was carefully made by the COM
missoners, who have had years of experience
in County matters.
The committee on County estimates of the Legis-
lature of 1879 fixed the among of tax for this
Add to this the estimated receipts ....., 11,IO0
And the estimated surplus ................ 1900
And we have the sum off,. ............ $63, 700
to cover an estimated expenditure of $7S7O0
1t will be seen from the foregoing statements
that with the county tax at $50, 900, not only
will the surplus of the Treasury be used up,
but there will also be deficiency of $4,000,
which will have to be met in the future.
While the Legislature of 1879 decreased the
expenses of the county in certain directions, it
entailed an increase in other directions which
will probably balance all reductions.
In making the claims of a reduction of
county expenses from $6S,OOO to $4,000 your
correspondent takes no account of the estima.
ton surplus of $4,000 or of the certain de-
ficiency of $4,000.
So that the your claim OF a reduction of
county expenses is not supported by the facts
Respectfully yours,
LEWIS MCCLELLAN,
Treasurer of Cumberland County.

Handel's great recitative and air, awake
Saturmia, and Iris hence away" also, by de-
sire, Arthur Sullivan's "Lost Chord" Mr..
Becketts solos are "Sancta Maria" by Faure,
and ~ love thee" by Dudley Buck. Mrs.
Halves and Mr.. Stockbridge will also appear
in solos and in concerted music. Mr.. Kotzsch-
mar is the accompanist, assisted by Miss
O'Brion. Beside the very general interest felt
for the success of Miss Dodwell, many persons
will take this opportunity of hearing Miss Cary,
who will probably not sing again in our city
for some time. Such notable musical event
as this concert will be, needs no recommended
ton to the public beyond the mere mention of
the enjoyment it offers.
