ises to be a monster one for a local affair.
That silver-tongued orator, Gen. George A..

for Hallowell. Be promptly on hand. Let
the torchlight procession this evening redeem
the failure of last week.

so well and widely known as curative of

KNOX COUNTY.
"hat Maj. Fogler Has to Say About that
Section.

Maj. p. NJ. Fogler, register of deed, for
kennebec county, has just returned with i'm
proved health from three weeks trim tn
Knox county, and is confident of immense re-
publican gains in that section. Last wear
the republicans were in minority of 40
in that county; but it now looks as if these
odds were to be overcome, and old Knox re-
deemed. We thought that we were pretty
"lde-awake IN Augusta, but Mr.. Fogler saws
that we are in state of lethargy compared
with the coast cities and towns. Democrats
and gree'ibackers don't fuse worth cent in
hnox county. The democrats say that The
greenbackers demand all the offices. and ex-
press great dissatisfaction at their greediness.
Many soft-money republicans are leaving the
wreck of greenbackism, and coming back to
their old party. In the town of Hope-a
small town-there will be republican gain
of at least 20. Republican rallies are en-.
thusiastic and crowded, while the fusion
meetings are tame and dispiriting affairs.
Gen. Logan did an immense amount of good
in that section; Hicks of Florida is drawing
crowds, and is pronounced to be an impas-
stoned orator, almost the peer of Ingersoll
Gen. Chalmers, of Fort Pillow nfamy, has
left the State. His record is too black for
the white topped hills of Maine Mlliken's
chances are excellent, and he is confident of
victory.

reports which reach us, all is not as serene as
a June morning in the conclaves of the local
democracy. The apple of discord has found
its way into Bradbury Hall. Money is scarce
among the fusion chieflains, and the leaders
show IA decided disinclination to tap their
barrels. Last Saturday all who would go to
IIalowell were promised free tickets to and
from that place. In mar1 instances the
tickets were not forthcoming, and the rank
and file had to pull out their emaciated wal
lets and satisfy The demands OF the soulless
railroad. Now the trouble is about uniforms.
company of over two hundred young fell
lows was raised, and uniforms promised
them but when the capes and hats arrived
there wasn't enough to go round, and these
were given to the young democrats of ward
three. This made the men who lived in
other parts of the city jealous and mad, and
quite circus ensued Tuesday night. Then
the few uniforms that were purchased did not
satisfy the fastidious taste of the members of
the Young Mems Independent Club. They
consisted of lobster-colored cape and cap,
and gave the wearers the appearance OF
Spanish bull fighter in business hours. 1t
was voted to send them back and purchase
oil-cloth jackets of a more Christian pattern.
There was also trouble about the officers of

are delaying their efforts until the
people shall be empowered to foster
and protect such Industries as may
be inaugurated for the common
welfare. Mr.. Burke's remarks met
with hearty applause.
Hon. W. H. White then made Il
brief allusion to Mr.. Brents' public
career, and showed wherein that gem

cognition and respect so essential for
success in Delegate. His thrusts
were sometimes rather severe, but
as bis lance was barbed with the
diamond.points of truth, none of Mr..
Brents' friends colld well complain
if the wounds were deep and pain
full. Mr.. White likewise seemed to
favor letting down the political bars
and allowing everybody to come into
the fold without question or pledge
of fealty to Democratic principles.
This is quite liberal, and we do not
know as we have any right to OBJ
ject, but we shall protest against the
removal of the fence, for if we do
not, soon there will be no middle
position for timid doubters to to sit
astride and await the turn of events
Mr.. w. r. Andrews, a lifelong
Republican, followed Mr.. White,
in very sensible appeal for citizens
irrespective of party, to rally in sup
port of the vital interests to be sub
served by judicious choice Mt this
time. He showed the folly of al
lowing blind adherance to party to
subvert great public benefit, and
demonstrated his faith by his works.
Mr.. A. had never swerved from sup
port of the Republican party, but
ne regards the present exisency as
ga tide in the affairs of men which
taken in its food leads on to for
tune"
The address of Messrs. White and
Andrews were both received with
every manifestation of favor. At
the close, Mr.. Judson was called !,
who remarked that the lateness of
the hour suggested the propriety of
leaving what he had to say about
county affairs till another time.

"All Christian people believe in pray

States will agree that it il of supreme con-
ton to be determined upon Christian
principles, and in the exercise of Chris
tan practices. We see no reason why all
who are American citizens, whether Dem.
ocrats, Republicans. or whatever, who
sincerely believe in the Divine interest in,
and control over, our civil affairs, may
not heartily unite i'm one grand and i'm
pressive concert of prayer, the land

each week during the months of Septem;,
Der and October be everywhere devoted
to a Concert of Prayer for the country,
which shall be kept sacredly pure from
all merely political management, but
which shall engage all Christian patriots
of every style of political preference, in
for His blessing upon us in, and His
guidance through, the exciting, if not
periious, days. that are coming"
We do not see any possible objec-
ton to the plan, if it is carried into
effect in the spirit manifested by the
writer of the address. 1.-THE prayers

OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TER.
FRIDAY EvEN'G, OCT. s. 1880
Mr.. Burke i'm Olympia.

The meeting in Columbia Hall,
Tuesday evening, was one of the
largest ever held in the place, and
the wrapt attention paid to Mr..
Burke's mastery speech of neatly an
hours length attested alike the ro-
found interest taken in the issues of
the campaign and admiration for the
oratorical gifts of the gentleman
who doubtless will soon he clothed
with power to carry them into effect.
Mr.. Burke when he took the rostrum
was stranger to the greater pro-
portion OF his audience, but before
he had altered half a dozen sentences
it was evident that he had secured
the respect ard sympathy Of all his
hearers, and although some may
have differed with him ia opinion,
none doubted his sincerity Of pur-
pose or the zeal and ability with
which he would invest the Office Of
Delegate il the people decide that he
shall represent them on the floors Of
Congress. Mr.. Burke is much less
of part;zan than we expected, or
desired nil i:i5r''ao be, believing as we
do with Josh Billings that ri kant
be tn radikel II he is right" but our
support shall be none the less hear
IL on that account. He took the
ground thct our Territorial form OF
Government is, at best. but a cor
poration, in which each voter is a
stakeholder, and trustee to the ex-
tsnt that his action affects the inter
asts Of those dependent upon him
for support. He held that the voter
should be influenced by precisely
those considerations which would
govern a stakeholder in the selection
Of an attorney to represent the inter-
ests Of the body corporate Of which
he was member; that it was in
cumbent upon him to consider
whether an agent, in personal and
political harmony with those clothed
With power to dispense favors, would
not be better able to ask and re-
csiye aid for his constituency, than
one who bears with bin all those
elements of antagonism engendered
by participation in bitter partisan
strife. We think this point is so
evident that no attempt will be
made to refute it.
Judge Jacobs. it will be remem-
bered, a few years ago claimed that
it was supreme folly to send a Dele

believed what he said, and elected
him. The same consideration ap.

By concession from Democratic

early admission to the Union, and
bring about that prosperous era
which can only be attained by full
representation at Washington and
sAnder the sovereignty which that
condition implies. Capitalists are
