Republican Meeting and Torchlight Pro-
ceSSiOn at BridgtOn

The enthusiasm of the Republicans of Bridg-
ton is attested by the success of the meeting of
Saturday night. The meeting was not decided
upon until Saturday morning and consequent
ly there was but little time and meagre facili-
ties for notifying the public. Nevertheless
when the hour arrived Gibbs Hall was filled
to overlooking and extra seats had to be car
ried in. The Bridgton band discoursed excel
lent music. The speakers were Rev. o. NJ.
Cousins and B. T. Chase, ESQ. Mr.. Cousins
confined his remarks to the national issues
involved in the campaign and showed clearly
that the party which had placed Hancock at
its head was the same party which caused the
rebellion, and was still controlled, as it was in
1870, by the men who had striven through four
years OF war to destroy the life of the nation.
Hancock had been selected simply as an avail
able man to mask their real sentiments and de-
signs. Mr.. Cousins speech was full of telling
points, and made deep impression upon its
hearers. Mr.. Chase confined himself to the
State steal. By means of diagrams of the al
tered and forged returns he showed the audi
ence how the gang of Fusion thieves who tab
ulated the returns had sought to perpetuate in
power party which had been rejected by the
people at the polls, by acts which, if they had
thelr deserts, would consign their perpetrators
to the penitentiary. Mr.. Chase's demonstra-
ton of the frauds of the Tabulators was very
clear and convincing.
After the meeting large torchlight process
sion was formed, headed by the Bridgton band,
and paraded the principal streets.

FREGPOHI.
The Hon. Thos. B. Reed Addresses a
Large Meeting.

There was splendid gathering at Freeport
last evening to listen to Hon. T. B. Reed. The
hall was crowded with earnest Republicans,
and when Mr.. Reed made his appearance on
the platform he was received W 18th long con-
tinued applause h
Mr.. Reed made most telling speech which
was continually interrupted by loud applause.
He spoke of the faith of our fathers as on trial
to-day before the people. The question as to
the ruling of the majority was the chief corner
stone and rested on the bedrock of common
honesty. With the strongest argument and
application of the skeenest satire, he showed
up the count-out that black storm of one year
OF conglomerate rule. He explained how it
happened that the State ever came into the
possession of such a collection of mountebanks,
quack doctors and charlatans, and how God in
his providence, has so constructed the world
that when those fellows mutilated the ballots
of the people OF the State they left such proofs
of their fraud behind them that Henry Ingalls,
and Geo. +. Hill, members OF the committee,
who heard all the testimony, strong partizans
of the Democratic party, declared, under SOL
emn conviction of duty, that 'they cannot deny
that the recital Of facts io the report (of the
majority is Substantially IN accordance acith
contradicted they cannot make a denial Of the
facts proceed by It," Helthen produced the evil
dence that convicted the Fusionists of their
misdeeds; the prepared blanks, the forged and
altered names of candidates, etc.
Mr.. Reed then addressed himself to the ma
tional issues. He pointed out the difference be-
tween the two candidates for the Presidency,
Garfield and Hancock. To become President
of 10 900 900 people was not light business.
We needed man with opinions and convic-
tions, framed in the arena of discussion, and
not in the closet. What Garfield believed and
would believe on all the great questions to be
met and solved during the next Presidency
every body knew. They we're the result of
practical study. Garfield knew the business
OF craftsmanship practically. What were
Hancock's opinions on finances, on the rela-
lions of the Nation and the States? What oc-
caSiOn has he ever had to turn these things
over in his mind? The inevitable result of
Hancock's election would be that he would be
totally under the influence of the most active
men OF his party. What these men had for
principles the history of the past twenty years
was ample answer.
Mr. Reed also took up the question of local
self government at the South He showed how
the negroes have been compelled to flee from
the South to escape the shot-guns of the peo-
pie Who formerly were their masters; how the
Southern States, all except Texas, had repudi-
ated their debts how the Southern Congress
men were trying to drag the payment of the
interest of the national debt into Congress- and
having presented all these issues in a master
ly manner, closed amidst long continued ap-
plauSe.
