LAST SCENE OF ALL.
What a spread greeted the eyes of the hun
CRY marchers as they entered Union and
Meonian halls, Seventeen long tables laden
with eatabes were arranged, and plates laid
for one thousand persons. The good ladies
q
chairman of the committee on food,
had fairly out-done themselves in their
efforts to feed the republican hosts.
Every ward contributed from its abundance
There were millions and millions of dough-
nuts. hogsheads of coffee, barrels of apples,
329 pies. 329 loaves of brown bread, 329 pots
of beans, and other things in proportion
The ate INV ord was, s'fall to-" and it was
goodlv sight to witness the onslaught at the
tables. Meonian Hall was gaily trimmed
with bunting and notices by +. A. Prem
tice of Gardiner. At intervals were
posted the names of the States giving re-
publican majority and the amount of majority
given. After supper came little speaking.
No occasion is complete to an American with
ont speech. Hon. p. O. Vickery presided.
II NJ. Heath. Esq, made few remarks and
introduced Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, who re-
ceived tremendous ovation. The veteran
made fiery speech and was greeted with
tremendous applause. He was succeeded by
CAPTAIN C. A. Boutelle. who spoke with
v;gor and vehemcnce for half an hour. Gov.
Davis and Ex-Governor Conner also adj
dressed the audience. The applause IN the
hall was tremendous, the Loyal League wax
inc the echoes with their Bangor.
A BURNING SHANE.
During the march, democratic roughs
melted the procession with brickbats' ms
characteristic democratic argument has oeen
a,,ogetber too frequent during the campaign
A little cold lead would stop such outrages'
Efforts are being made to ferret out the MIS-
creauts. and if caught they will be severely
punished.
