T. B. SWAN
Gives Some Reasons Why He Should be a
Presidential Candidate

L. B. Swan OF Mechanic Falls spoke to about
seventy-five people in Union Hall at Ferry
Village last evening. John B. Chase, ESQ.,.
called the meeting to order, and the Rev. w.
F. Eaton presided, and introduced Mr., Swan
who at once went into the prophet business
for all he was worth. He predicted Plaisted's
election by five thousand votes and said that
Gen. Hancock will come in with half mil
lion majority. He said that Gen. Gartiela
once figured as a barefoot boy, that he drove a
mule team, and is in Congress eff that" said
MI. Swan, lis any reason why he should be
elected President why not elect me? When 1
was boy 1 went barefoot till my feet grew
out of all proportion. To be sure 1 never
he paused for nom ent, recalling perhaps,
to mind, the gifted Fogg who in few short
weeks we shall all be called to speak of as the
late Mr.. Fogg. Mr.. Swan soon frightened up
and said that the fact that he isn't in Congress
is greatly to his credit, and it may be remarked
is also greatly to the credit of the people of his
Congressional district
On the subject of General Andersen and
paying the National debt Mr.. Swan enter
tanned very positive convictions. ''Elect Gen.
Anderson" said Mr.. Swan, '.and he will carry
out for you the principles of the Greenback
party Gen. Anderson may claim to be
Democrat but he is at heart Greenbacker
and if elected to Congress will vote with us on
all important points, and can be elected more
easy than if openly Greenbacker." Mr..
Swan proposed to pay up the National debt as
follows: Issue $500, 100000 of greenbacks and
call in that amount of National bank notes.
Pay out S500O0000 in silver and impose a tax
on all incomes above $1,000 annually to the
extent of $3.50, 100000. This course will result
in paying 00,0O0,000 of our bonds" He was
unable to see why the property Of the rich
should not be confscated as we'll as the per-
sons of the poor drafted, and he announced
this contiscatiDg system to be so far part of
the principles of the Greenback party, that a
man who believes in it is pretty fair Green
hacker.
Mr.. Swan allowed himself to start off in ex-
actly straight line away from the truth,
when he said that his testimony last winter
has never been published. 1t was published,
Apd Mr.. Swan can get copy at any time.
At the close tn re were two attempts m ade
to have three cheers given for the speaker,
but it was "no go" and Mr.. Swan left the
Cape at once unwept, unhonored and I'M
Cbeered.

Charles F. Eastman

Charles +. Eastman, well known and re-
spected colored citizen, died at his home on
Anderson street yesterday morning Mr.. East
man was born in this city fifty-nine years ago,
and by his industry accumulated quite nice
little property. He was self-educated and a
great reader. During his later years he ac-
cumulated large collection of valuable books
making library of no mean proportions. He
also took much interest in natural history, and
as taXidermist preserved many rare birds and
small animals, and which form part of an in
terestng museum in his house. Mr. Eastman
was member of the Newbury street church,
and it was by his wise counsel and liberal CIV
ing that the church was sustained when the
poverty of the colored people would have COM
PEELED them to close up the church. His loss
will long be felt by the struggling Abyssinian
church of this city. During the enforcement
of the fugitive slave law Mr. Eastman was one
OF the regular conductors of the "Under-
ground Railroad" and no man did more for
the poor fugitives escaping from slavery than
he. As man he was look up to by the peo-
pie OF his own race, and respected by all who
knew him. For years he Iabnred for the
emancipation of his own race, and when that
was accomplished he gave his time to the
building up of his church and the education
and training of his children. The same faith
in God that always characterized his actions
through life sustained him through painful
sickness of more than year. and YESTERDAY
morning his life, full of good deeds, ended.
He leaves wife and six children. S.

Mr.. Bates Gift to Bates College.

1t is rumored, says the Lewiston Journal.
although the Bates College authorities have
no official advices to that effect, that the Com
missioners of the Probate Court of the county
of Middlesex, Mass, have reported adversely
on the claimsof the College to Mr.. Bates $780,
600 subscription. The report is that the COM
missioners base their decision on the fact that
part of the 100000 subscription to be raised
outside by the College, is in notes. The COM
missioners are quoted as remarklng that a Jury
on an appeal might give different construc-
ton to the phraseology of the conditions of
Mr.. Bates subscription. The official decision
is awaited with much interest. 1t seems that
$4,000 was raised in cash (of which President
Cheney paid ST ,OOO) and the balance in good
Understanding notes Of the notes one is for
$4,000, given by the Free Baptist Educational
Society, with assets of over $4,000. Another
note of $4,000 was given by Hon. George G..
Fogg, OF Concord, N. III. The question is
whether good negotiable notes are "dollars'' in
the sense in which Mr.. Bates employed the
word when he made the payment Of his $780,
oOO subscription conditional on the raising of
100000 additional

Terms at Colby University


President Robins, of Colby University, in
letter to the lions Advocate, says the terms at
Colby University have been arranged as fol-
lows:
There will be two terms in the academical
year. The first term will open on the first of
September, 1880. In this term there will be
two sessions
The first session will continue eleven and
one-half weeks, closing on the'20th of Novem-
Der. At the end of this session an examina-
ton will be held. After recess, from the
2lst OF November to the 9th of November. in
elusive. the second session will begine on Sun
day, the 18th, and continue eight and one-half
weeks, closing on the 10Th of January, 1881.
Here will follow vacation, continuing from
the 9th day of January to the Sth day of
March, inclusive, being five weeks and six
days.
The second term will open on the 9th day of
March, 1880, and, continuing sixteen weeks,
will close on the 29th day of June.
Here will follow a vacation continuing until
September.
By this arrangement those who teach will
have the long summer vacation in which to
make up the work lost in the second session of
the first term. Those who teach during the
second session will be credited with attendance
as II IN college. They will also have about
fourteen weeks for teaching, although their all
sence from college will be but eiqht aceeks. In
case any cannot find schools, they will not as
now be compelled to lose the best part of the
year for study but can go on with their class,
and have the long summer vacation in which
to earn money. The present arrangement gives
to the student the option between earning his
money In summer or winter: now the winter is
the only time given him.

FAIRFIELD, Aug. II.

FAIRFIELD, Aug. IT.
Monday nj sht Fairfield village was ablaze
with enthusiasm to witness the opening rally
of the Republicans. A special train brought
the West Waterville Band and large numbers
from West Waterville and WatervilIe. A
large flag was thrown to the breeze bearing
the names Of the Repu blican candidates. No
hall or building in the village was large
enough to hold the crowd in attendance, and
stands and seats had been built near the house
of VIM. Conner, Esq to accommodate all who
were present. These proved inadequate and
many were obliged to stand
Hon. James G. Blaine and Hon. Clarke E.
Carr of Illinois, were the speakers. Mr..
Blaine devoted himself to State matters,
giving full and accurate statement of the
facts connected with the fusion proceedings of
last winter, showing how and by whose votes
the fraud was accomplished AS Fairfield was
one of the disfranchised towns and one of ex-

people felt peculiar interest in Mr. Blaine's
explanations.
Mr.. Carr followed Mr.. Blaine in an able
speech on national questions. Although the
hour was late when the speaking closed the

through the village, AT the close of Mr..
Cars address there were loud calls for Hon.
S. ID. Lindsey who was in the audience Mr..
Lindsey responded in a brief speech full of
good points ably presented.

The Ecumenical Camp-meetlng at Old
Orchard.

The Ecumenical Camp-meetlng at Old
Orchard.
The series of seven days meetings to be held
at Old Orchard encampment, opened yesterday
under very favorable circumstances The at
tendance was good, weather delightful, and
key note of services pitched high.
The first service was held at the stand at 9
o'clock, and began by singing Coronation
by the congregation and choir led by Miss
Maggie Luce, who, from long experience in
the capacity of organist, fills the position in
most acceptable manner. The cornet playing
by Mr.. Chas. Lindall OF the Portland band,
was feature that added greatly to the interest
OF the music.
The Scripture lesson was read by Rev. C.
Allen, d. D., who was followed by PRAYER by
Rev. A. S. Laid.
Rev. H. B. Ridgeway, D. D., of New York,
was then introduced to deliver the opening
discourse, and chose for his text the words
found in ii. Tim 2:9-fWherein | suffer
trouble as an evil doer, even unto bonds; bu
the word of God is not bound'' The theme of
the discourse was '.The freeness and indepen-
dence of the people," The word of God cam
not be subject to any physical or outward
loiCo. IL 10 u law Vi OOQ tnaU truth shall ultl-
mately obtain. AS the truths pertaining tn
the natural world have obtained in spite of
fierce opposition, SO shall the Gospel, the di-
vine truth, triumph over every obstacle God
holds everything tributary to the maintenance
of this divine truth. In the roll of ages, new
instrumentalities, as the printing press, are
coming into use to promote the onward pro-
gress of the truth. The gospel is so adapted to
the needs OF men that they welcome it hearth
ly. The gospel will continue to be propagated,
although its founder and defenders may be nut
to death. In the history of Christianity its
ablest advocates have suffered martyrdom vet
the gospel rides on The gospel is independent
of the errors and weaknesses of it's ministers
and the faults of the church, and has survived
because it has divinity in it. It is impossible
, for the spread of the gospel to be retarded by
the delinquences of church members but the
word OF God is sure to triumph.
The service closed by prayer by DR. Peck,
Social services were conducted in the So
ciety chapels at $50.
In the evening Rev. c. T. Allen, ID. D., de-
llvered sermon to a large audience gathered
in the tabernacle, from Rom. S:2-''For the
law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of sin and death .

row morng at the stand at 80.

The Fusion Meeting

Prominent members of the fusion party held
meetings at the Falmouth all day Monday
afternoon and evening. Torrey of Bath Bun
ker of Fairfield Wilson of Thomaston, Hill of
Exeter, Anderson, Lyman, Merrill, G. B.
Nash, Bass of Bangor, and many others were
present. The occasion for the meeting was,
it is understood, to raise money to meet the ex
penses of the campaign. 1t is reported the re-
suit of the interviews are unsatisfactory. The
Democrats agreed to provide certain sum if
the Greenbackers would provide like amount,
the whole sum to be expended under the d.
rection of the Democratic Executive Commit:
tee. To this proposition the Democrats we're
agreed but the Greenbackers couldn't see it.
1t was also one of the conditions that none of
the money should in any way assist Gove's
prospects on account of his position towards
Anderson.

At the police station yesterday was exhibit
ed by an old gentleman who lives short dis
lance out Of town. two ingenious pieces of
mechanism. One was a steam barkentine and
one steam bark, built on scale of 1-S of an
inch to the foot. They were framed, planked
and bolted exactly like large ship. Each
plank was bolted and riveted with bolts made
from pin, hammered out to about the size of
horse hair. They had wooden blocks, rope
strapped. the rigging was twisted silk, made
in exact imitation of hemp rope, and every
thing about them was made after the same
style. The gentleman who made them said
he had taken AGA working days to complete
them.
