have organized themselves into the Ellis
worth Wooden Manufacturing Company
with a view Of erecting suitable factory
near the site Of Joys carding mill. in this
city. Here, doubtless, is one Of the best
privileges for an enterprise Of this kind to
be found in the State. A dam can be built
at trihing cos, which will secure ample water
power at all seasons of the year Nature has
contri,ed a "waste-~ay" which will carry all
surplus water below the mill before it unltes
again with the main stream. In short there
can be no doubt whatever about the feast
bility of the privilege. Ths, will speak for
itself
The company expect 10 commence opera
nov they only lack about $500 or $1,000 Of
the amount. There can, therefore. be but
little doubt that they will succeed in raising
the required amount, and tina; the Company
will soon commence work.
In view Of the fact that the lumber busi-
ness Of Ellsworth is declining. and that our
city can be held up to its old time prosper
~ only by the introduction Of new business
enterprises. il behooves our citizens 20 give
every legitimate undertaking Of this kind,
a mos, cordial welcome and hearty enoour-
agement
We know Of no reason why business Of
this Kind. if properly managed, canno, be
conducted as successfully in Ellsworth, as
in any other town. in or out of the State.
We believe tina; i, can. Its success or fail
ure will depend very largely upon the man
ner in which the business is managed. The
company arc sanguine Of success, and we
wish them abundant prosperity.

il is known more than 300 were brough, to
New York in the steamer City Of New York,

schooner which came up sent out beats and
picked up several people, though it is not
known exactly Who or how many there were.
Many Of the passengers rescued were bad

EAST LIvERMoRE, Aug. IS.
Excursion trains, big teams and vehicles,
private and public of every sort brought in
crowds from the surrounding towns t. attend
the Republican Mass Meeting held on the
camp grounds to-day, AT least three
thousand people were present The
speeches were enthusiastically received
by the multitude, and every feature of
the successful meetings gave positive evil
dence of the stately and triumphant march of
truth in dispelling the clouds of wrong and
political wiekedness over old sAndroscoggin
which have sopermeated and overcast the coun
ty for two years past.
Mr.. Fitch occupied the forenoon session in
one OF the most eloquent and telling orat;ons it
has been our lot to hear this year He is the
most interesting speaker that ever visited this
section of the State. Three hearty cheers
greeted the orator at the close of his address.
After dinner ex-Gov. Dingley in an hours
time presented some facts in reference to the
count out" in clear and lucid manner. Mr.
Dingley has the confidence of the mass of vot-
ers and his utterance from the stump or
through the journal are weighed deeply in the
minds of the people,
Hon. Stanley Matthews spoke briefly on ma
tional issues and presented strong, candid
argument in favor of the Republican party as
against the rebellious and treacherous course of
the Democracy. A beautiful scene was here
witnessed. The ladies, through the chairman
M. I. Ludden, Esq. presented His Excellency,
Gov. Davis, large floral offering, artistically
arranged IN pyramidal form. Mr.. Davis came
forward amid the tempestuous applause of the
multitude and spoke ten minutes, thanking the
audience for their grand reception and the la
dies for their courtesy. He said all over the
State of the Pine Tree the Republican camn
fires were burning brightly, and prophesied a
brilliant victory in the coming election.
Senator Logan was the concluding sneaker
and was rendered hearty reception. 1t is of
course difficult to cOndense two hours speech
into twenty minutes and as this was the un-
fortunate lot Of Mr., Logan, the time could not
give this great orator Justice He however
i'll his magnetic style EXCEED the audience to
such degree that the creates demonstat ions
of the day greeted his remarks His mention
OF James G. Blaine as the leader of the mil
lions of civilian hosts marching under the
banner of Garfield and Arthur was the occa-
sion of wild burst of cheers and applause,
Men stood upon the seats swinging hats, UNI

The following letter from Mr.. Wheelwripbt
of Bangor, addressed to the PRESS. is an ed;fv-
ing commentary on Mr.. Nye's statement con-
cefhlng the enforcement of the prohibitory
law in that city.
MIR. EDITOR AS statements, or ratber mis-
action of Gov. Davis in the appointment n of
special deputies for the better enforcement Of
the prohibitory law, am led to state what
mas come under my personal observation in
penobscot county Early in May when at
said If the friends Of temperance would send
the names of suitable men they should be an
pointed The name of Col. Crossman of Rap-
gor was sent. (whose name alone was sufficient
guarantee of its acceptability) He was an
pointed, but declined serving. The name Of
D. Clark was then sent. (He had been one
OF our late faithful sheriff Jerrards deputies,
in the special enforcement of the law) and he
declined. Mr.. Trickey was then appointed.
bu, do not learn whether he will accept the
position. Gov. Davis when in Bangor invited
me personally to go with him into the various
portions of the city where liquors are sold, that
ne might see and judge for himself of the i'm
portance and necessi y of the appointment of
special deputies; as friend of temp rance 1
could ask no more of a Governor than he had
done. The Republican party could not afford
and certainly have no desire to select man
for our chief magistrate who is not fully in
81 mpathy with the cause of temperance. As
we have such a one in Gov. Davis, both in
practice and principle. let all true friends of
temperance rally round him, letting him
know that we fully sustain him, and re-elect
him by good old fashioned majority.
