Gardiner Local News.

The union torchlight procession and rally
came off last night. Augusta and IIallowell
furnished the companies and Gardiner the
band. That dashing chevalier Simmons
headed the procession and calamity led it up
Church Hill to the Common, where the
speech was made in the open air /. n.
Tucker presided and introduced a Mr.. Will
bur of Connecticut as the speaker of the
evening, who INDUCED in a long harangue and
devoted large part of his time in villifying
the republican party and Mr.. Garfield. He
was very successful as a BLACKBOARD, and
made many doubtful statements. The whole
affair answered very well as a democratic
rally, but as union rally it was failure.
At its close cheers were proposed for Han
cock, Weaver, Plaisted, and the speaker. A
pretty wide straddle that.
The Lincoln street schoolhouse was not
finished in time to commence with the other
schools and will not be for some time. This
will give the young folks quite long rest.
Only four more days and election day Will
be here. Sec that your name Is properly
written on the voting list for every vote
counts one Let the Vermont success emu
late us to greater exertions aud more deter
mined efforts. Gardiner is wide awake and
will do her share toward rcdeemlng the State
by restoring the old fashioned majority.

SENATOR BLAINE IN AUBURN.
An ImpromPtu Serenade, n Short Speech
md General HANDWRITING all Around
senator Blaine's Views Of the Contest I'm
State and Nation.

just before noon to-day it became noised
abroad that Senator Blaine was at the Elm
House, and in a few moments men seemed to
spring out of the ground by the hundred and
Johnsons Band was serenading the distin-
guished Senator. lie came out and acknow-
lodged the compliment, mounting box on
the Elm House piazza long enough to remark
to the assembled crowd that gathered, as fell
lows:
81 thank you for the expression of your re-
gard, but can only stay to remark that this
Second District is not debatable ground. The
nomination of Fogg makes Mr.. Frye's oppo-
sition farce: The Fourth and Fifth Dis
tricts are debatable ground, but in my judg-
ment we shall carry both districts and send a
solid republican delegation to Congress from
this State--which is as it should be. | am
also confident that the next administration OF
the Nation will be republican.
Mr.. Blaine, amid applause, then retired to
the Elm House dining room, where he yigor-
ously attacked roast beef, and in due season
came forth into the Office to greet personally
many republicans, and write his autograph in
the hotel register. Among the crowd that
shook the Senator'S hands was Squire Mar
tin.
"How old are you, Squire?" said Mr..
Blaine.
"In my SD year." said the Squire.
"Now, really, you must be joking"
"Honor bright" said the Squire, and then
launched into "reminiscences of political con-
test in the carly part of the century.
1t was noticeable that Mr.. Blaine remem-
bered the names of everybody whom he had
ever seen before. He is in excellent physical
condition.
Atl2.l5 one of Bradburys best teams was
driven under the elms. JOhnsOn's Band
struck up, and soon Mr.. Blaine appeared,
took front seat in the carriage, clapped hold
of the reins and drove off toward Buckfield
amid the applause of the crowd. At Buck
field he was greeted by an immense crowd.

speakers of the ADMINISTRATION Jour

A GREAT VICTORY.

The following despatch was received last
night:
NEw YoRk CITY, Sept. $.
To Hon. j. &. Blaine -
Vermont will make her majority 26,0 \
magnificent gain and complete victory.
The democrats resortcd to everything posi-
bic to cut down this figure, circulating
400, 900 republican tickets with the name of
the republican candidate for Governor mis-
spelled, so that they would be thrown out.
The attempted fraud was discovered and
checked, though great care had to be eNer-
csed. When the democrats of Vermont
stoop to such low and mean practices it seems
time for all respectable persons to join some
other party. GEo. w. HOOKER,
Asst Sec'y Republican National Committee.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, September :.
The State election resulted in an over
whelming republican victory. The aim of
the democrats was to reduce the republican
majority largely, and of the republicans to
maintain their large majority of 23,91S in
1876 if possible, or at least to increase the
majority of 1864 at the last State election
in 1878. The election was for Governor,
three Representatives to Congress, and a
legislature which will choose a United States
Senator for the seat now occupied by
Edmunds.
Returns from l70 towns give Farnham,
(rep.) 81 $40 Phelps, (dem.) Il ,05S; Heath,
(greenback) l,2l2. Republican majority
thus far, - 313. The same towns in 1876
gave a republican majority of 1885, and in
1878 of II, $50. Republican gain from 1876 is
41S and from 1878 is GAS. The returns now
coming in continue to show republican gains,
indicating republican majority of nearly
5000 decided gain from 1876, and
very large gain from 1873.
Chas. II. Joyce, James NJ. Tyler and VIM.

sentatives to Congress each by from 1900 to
1000 majority. There is only one democrat
elected to the Senate. The House, 50 far as
