Gen Hail at the Head Of the Tide.


This we'll known Republican orator
made a Very effective speech on Monday
evening, at the above location, two miles
above our city. There was quite an at
tendance from Belfast, as well as from
the locality, and an excellent meeting
was held. The General, as usual, made
an excellent impression, and his speech
was listened to with undivided attention,
Governor Davis made good point in
his speech at Old Orchard when he said
that when the officers Of GOV. Garcelon
Went to the thirteen companies of the
militia Of Maine to learn how they stood
on the subject Of the state steal, that the
citizen soldiery proved themselves true
to the 10000 veterans who left Maine for
the war in the South and true to the
cause Of law and order.
The Ohio Greenbacker, Gen. Carey
disguised even the decent Democrats by
the low bnioonery Of his recent speech at
Caribou. Here is specimen Of his re-
marks
The Republicans claim that the financial ques
ton is practically settled not by id sight
and what right have YOU farmers to ride in fine
bugges That luxury belongs to the tinancers
and the bond holders and you should ride in your
dung carts.
Joshua Nyc claims that he is "still a
Republican," and yet he said recently
that if he ''had the casting vote in the
Plastcd,' That kind of Republicans are
properly called Democrats or Greenback-

Gen. James A. Hall, of Damarscotta,

OK Confederate Gen. Chalmers, of Misss-

A BEAR FRIGHTENs A TEAM.

The Phillips Photograph says that last Monday
evening, Mr.. J. c. Meader. of Rangeey, was going
from Phillips with his wife and children, and had
just passed Cattle Brook, when an old bear stepped
into the road in front and within six feet Of his
horse. The horse turned like flash upsetting the
carriage and throwing the occupants to the ground
but luckily none of them were severely hurt Mr.
Meader did not allow the horse to get away but
the carrlage-a new one-was badly smashed
The bear-one that has been seen proving about
West Phillips for some days past-decamped with
out making further trouble

There was an attempt on last Thurs
day to hold a big Fusion meeting at the
Head of the Tide. Flaming posters were
displayed for "a day or two, announcing
that Mr.. Rust, Mr.. Murch, Gushce and
Swan would speak on the occasion. A
band Of music was provided, stand erect
ed, flag raised, &c. But there was nc
heart in the matter and the affair came
very near being an igncminious failure
Rust didn't come, Swan failed to connect
and the patriots had to fall back upon
Gushee, Bateman, Murch and an I'M
known Mr.. Rogers. Murch didn't speak
more than two minutes in all. There is
no denying the fact, that the Fusion
meetings in Waldo this year are small af-
fairs.
Mr. Murch is in Waldo county looking after his
interests lie needs to all over the District The
odds money are against him. [Camden Herald
The odds are against Murch, but they
are not in the shape Of the filthy lucre fol
which Justice Perry offered to compound
a felony, stay away from the Legislature
and sell out his present candidacy. No.
the odds against Murch are those of hon
est, intelligent voters, who will not be
tricked into supporting him for Congress
second time.

At the Democratic headquarters in New
York they have 'news from Maine, which
represents that their party is gaining m-
expected strength, and that the Republi-

who sent that news is entitled to the belt

Of forthcoming funds in case the Dem

been kept, or are to be kept, we have no

AN INTERVIEW WITH FISH.

The New York Herald's nomina-
ton of the Hon. Hamilton Fish for
the presidency and the favor it has
met with in certain quarters renders
any public expressions by this vet
eran in politics a matter of some
Importance. "Gath," the Cincins
natl Enquirer correspondent, has
applied the reportorial gimlet to him
with very favorable results.
Mr.. Fish supplements his talk
with what seems to him a necessary
change in the constitution which
would lengthen the presidential
term to eight years and render the
incumbent ineligible to q second
term. He gives these reasons:
"You see. he is elected In November
ana not 1naugurafed until the follow
Ing March. Congress 10 not then Ia
