A TRIO OF RECEIVERS.
Daniel w. True, VIM R. Field and VIM.
B. Skillin..

Republicans of Portland! the men named
above, consented to your disfranchisement last
year. Over 3,400 Of you were robbed of your
rights by Garcelon and his Council. That
they did not succeed in their scoundrelly de-
sign was no fault of theirs. The Democratic
party have nominated these men for the same
offices they undertook to burglarize last year.
I hope their names will be kept from now un-
til after election in a conspicuous place in the
columns of the PRESS.
Republicans of Portland! you owe it to your
manhood to work from now until the polls
close on the 18th Of September to put the
stamp of condemnation upon these men and
their misdeeds. Let your just indignation be
felt and no political party will ever again be so
shameless as to present as candidates men to
the people they attempted to swindle. No par
ty save the corrupt Fusion party of Maine
would have the audacity to do it now Let
every Republican work! work! and do it with
will to put upon these men and their ticket
the seal of reprobation. A REPUBLICAN.

Bonds.

Town of Damariscotta Railroad Aid
Bonds.
In consequence of the inability of the Knox &,
Lincoln Railroad Co. to pay the interest on the
bonds issued by the town of Damariscotta
in aid Of this railroad as promised, the town
finds the burden thrown on them too heavy to
carry for an inde finite period of time, and in
view of the same, the legal voters ofssaid town
at their last annual meeting authorized and
directed their selectmen and treasurer to issue
one hundred and thirteen thousand dollars in
municipal bonds bearing A per cent interest
payable in 20 years from July 1, 1880, and sell
the same at par and with the proceeds of such
sales to take up like amount of the railroad
aid bonds.
In accordance with these instructions the
officers of the town have issued said bonds and
have already exchanged and taken up of the
railroad aid bonds $4,000, or nearly 81 per
cent of all of these bonds.
The holders of the remaining part of said
railroad aid bonds are hereby notified that the
town is now ready to pay the said bonds issued
in aid of said railroad company in cash with
interest to September list, or to exchange the
same for the Municipal 20 years bonds. And
that they, the holders of the Railroad and bonds,
can call upon Samuel Hanson. Esq, 1914 Mid
die street, Portland, who will settle with them
as above indicated, or at either of the banks OF

Fine Demonstration at Falmouth Fore
side,


side.
Thursday evening Senator Blair of New
Hampshire entered the political campaign in
TINS state in thoughtful argument upon the
issues involved, before large and enthusiastic
audience at Falmouth Foreside. The speaker
spoke first of the nature of government: then
OF that form adopted in this country, how it
had been administered in the past and the way
the different political parties proposed to con-
duct it in the future. He spoke for about an
hour. Maj. III. L. Piper, who was announced
to follow Mr.. Blair. was received with cheers
his services in the present and former cam
paigns in this state ensuring him everywhere
cordial welcome and the method and sub
stance of his addresses making it certain that
his second coming to place is always even
more gratifying than his first. Unfortunately
the loss of his voice prevented him from doing
more than to excuse himself from speaking
to the great disappointment of the crowd.
The speakers stand was erected upon the
elegant mansion house and its surroundings
were splendidly decorated and illuminated, as
were also those of Fitz Sargent, Capt Paul
Drinkwater and n. t. Plummer, ESQ. The
latter threw open his hospitable doors and
gave hearty reception to his Republican
friends. A very large flag was thrown to the
free sea breeze, amid the shouts of thousand
spectators.
Though the night was dark this aided rather
than injured the effect, the numerous torches
borne by the Portland Pioneers and by citizens
of Falmouth, together with the illuminations
above mentioned, lighted up the bright uni
forms of the Pioneers and the interested coun-
tenances of the auditors, with striking effect
This demonstration of the deep interest felt in
the pending canvass was one of the finest we
have witnessed in this state outside of the
cities. S.
