Those who witnessed the immense
gathering ut Norway, on Saturday even
ing last. could not fail to be impressed
with the fact that Oxford County Repub-
Leans are awake to the importance OF the
coming election. At least two thousand
people from Norway and adjoining towns
assembled before the BeaE Hotel at an
early hour, to take part in the exercises
of raising a Garfield and Arthur flag.
A large procession from Paris, headed By
Paris Hill Brass Band, marched through
the village Of Norway, and was greeted
by cheers from the assembled crowd, and
by music from Norway Cadet Band. The
two bands then fused" and played pat
riotic airs during the entire evening.
David Knapp. esq, of Norway. one
of the oldest and fimest Republicans in
this county, called the meeting to order
and introduced w. S. Robinson Of Hart
ford, who in a brief, eloquent speech
stirred the people to deepest enthusiasm.
His appeals to soldiers, as one who shared
their hardships, had a marked influence,
and fixed many in the determination
never to desert the old party which sus-
tanned them and their cause during the
war.
After Mr.. Robinson closed, a large and
beautiful flag was thrown to the breeze
amidst cheers, music, and the firing Of
canon.
When the enthusiasm had somewha,
subsidized, Mr.. Knapp, in few apPro-
pirate words, introduced Hon. VIM. p.
Frye, our present and the next Repre-
sentative to Congress from this district.
Mr.. Frye spoke of General Garfield as
man Of the people, and paid high
tribute to his honesty and ability. he
discussed the attempt Of Gov. Garcelon u
Co., to steal the State government OF
Maine, and warned all lovers Of re-
public against endorsing such an in
famous proceeding. When Mr.. Frye at
tempted to close his remarks, he was
greeted with such repeated appeals 10
Ego on" that he continued and discussed
national issues, the doctrine of States
Rights, election frauds in New York and
in the South, and on request, the tariff
He was not permitted to retire until he
had spoken for nearly two hours.
p Robinson was again called out, and
urged all voters to 20 home and work
for victory which was sure to crown their
efforts. r,n

Mr.. Alfred P. Andrews, of Pa

Mr.. Alfred P. Andrews. Of Paris,
amuses himself by sluring his neighbors'

peated this remark, intimating at the

thing, to swallow any dictation rather
than allow them to hold Office and dis
pense patronage. Perhaps Mr.. Andrews

be heaped upon him and his party by the

This IS a fac simile of the return as
il now stands and is altered. The forg-
cry can be easily detected. 1t consists
of the lower line or loop which Is added
to the original &, and which makes a
fair q of il. The alteration was in diff
ferent ink from the original letter.
The return was tabulated and counted
for Henry g. Walker. While in SO
doing they gave Mr.. Walker what was
his simple due.-the Office 10 which the
votes Of our people entitled him the
Governor and Council were guilty of a
great fraud and wrong. They refused
70 allow any alterations, or to make any
corrections in Republican returns, even
10 the extent provided for by the laws of
che State
What excuse DO they give for this al
teration: Here is what they say in their
great defense and reply to the Hale Report,
and which they are circulating as q cam
paign document:
THE HEBRON CASE.
The return for county officers from the
town of Hebron furnishes a rich field for
the Hale Committee. Itappears that Henry
c. Walker was the Fusion candidate in
oxford County for County Commissio&r.
But il is claimed that the Republican town
clerk of Hebron saw NJ 20 write his name
Henry C. Walker. What reason this clerk
assigned for sending in false return and
thus depriving Mr.. Walker of the benefit
of the votes thrown for him in that town
does not appear. But the claim is made
that for some reason satisfactory TO HIM
self, he saw fit 70 doit. The report informs
the public that this wicked attempt Of this
Republican clerk 20 cheat Walker out of
his votes in that town has been defeated
by some one who has added a line, In
different ink, 10 the mendacious c, and
changed il 20 truthful G.. II this be SO,
then the attempted fraud has been defeated,
aud This clerk must feel very badly about
10. The question is, who wrote that "dif-
ferent ink" on that letter. The fact about
that Hebron return is this When the
return was opened for tabBiation the atten-
tiOu of several persons was called 10 this
very middle initial. Then the letter was all

The first evidence which We preseu, 70
sustain our charge Of forgery in election
returns relates 20 Oxford County. This
case did not affect the state Government,
but taken in connection with torgcries IN
Buekfeld and Brownfeld. II did give all
the county offices into the hands OF the
Fusion candidates
The case may BE- simply stated as this !:
BY some mistake. the Clerk of Hebron,
in making up his return for County Com
missioner, wrote the name OF the Fusion
candidate Henry c. Walker. His
name was Henry o. Walker Some
person about the State House, or some
other person who had access to the returns,
altered the return by changing the middle
initial G.. 10 q q. The following cut
shows how It was done.

On Thursday, the 9th inst, the remains of Mrs. E. French were brought to town from Troy, N. Y., where the deceased has resided most of the time since the death of her hus- band, Mr. Amos B.

One of them talks good deal about the glacial marks on the rocks, which she passes every day on her way to her school. have been looking at the rocks on both sides of the road just this side of the Dea Merwin place, and find there from 50 to 75 very plain glacial scratches, some very long and deep, and have ascertsined that they point to the Sun at eleven o'clock 8. m. don't suppose that this discovery will entirely do away with the use of clocks and watches, for we have some cloudy days; but the trouble is clocks and watches will run down and vary, while these eleven o'clock marks remain just as straight as they were when the ice thawed away long before Adam and Eve took posses sion of the garden of Eden. s." .-..l
