KGNNEBEC VALLEY CAMP MEETING.
Wednesday,,

providence seems especially to favor the
campers in the way of weather, for three more
lovely days than the last three we have not
had this summer. The air was so cool and de-
licious this morning that quite number of the
younger and perhaps fairer portion of the in
habitants of the Grove have been wandering
over the grounds, leaving the O'Clock social
meetings to be conducted by their elders.
However, at 10 o'clock some 500 had assem-.
bled at the stand, where they had the pleasure
OF listening to an effective discourse from Rev.
Charles Munger. His text was in /
Kings, IS, 24-"And the God that answereth
by fire, let him be God" The theme was Gods
fire witness. The whole sermon was treated in
an eminently characteristic and effective man.

A Wicked Libel.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Gen. S. j. Anderson like al
leading Democrats has heretofore professed
great affection for the Irish American voter.
This was when they voted in a compact BODY
for the Democratic nominees While Gen.
Anderson, with hypocritical gush, pretended
to esteem our adopted citizens, he at heart de-
spised them, as the following will show.
Last Fall and Spring large number of the
young Irish Americans of Ward Four. where
Gen. Anderson lives, voted the Republican
ticket. Last Spring club was formed under
the name of sc. C's." On election day they
marched to the polls in a body and voted the
straight Republican ticket.
In his speech at Fryeburg Gen. Anderson
charged the Republican party with bribery,
and used the following language
I'm Portland one organization NUMBERING
siafy men cere bought for three dollars apiece
The first time that are knew anything acos
aofong they marched to the polls almost m a
soad oody dndooted the Republican ticket men
acho dt'cays had been Democrats
This is a serious charge. Whom did General
Anderson refer to? Undoubtedly to the Sc.
C.'s' No other construction is tenable, be-
cause the "G. Cs' were the only men who
were formerly Democrats who to the number
of sixty men marched to the polls and voted
the Republican ticket. But these young Irish
Americans, Gen. Anderson says, were paid
three dollars apiece. This is a shameful slam
der. They are as honorable men and as little
venal and mercenary as he. They voted the
Republican ticket from conviction. We chal-
lenge Gen. Anderson or any onesof his mon.
grel crowd to furnish even the shadow of
proof thai these young men were paid three
dollars apiece or any other sum of money to
vote the Republican ticket.
This vile SANDER of this disappointed Office
seeker unmasks his true character He i'm
AGNES that he and all other Democrats have a
mortgage on our Irish American citizens He
believes they are bound, body and soul, to that
narrow, proscriptive, old Democratic party of
which he IS the truest exponent. When Young
Irish American has the independence and
manllness to vote according to his convictions,
he hoWls with rage and charges him with be-
ing brlbed. His mind is so preiudiced, so
clouded with bigotry that he cannot conceive
OF an Irish American voting the Republican
ticket unless he is bribed
Republican ticket he openly told him he was
o6eytng has master an doing so. What do our
adopted citizens think of man who will use
such language about them? But let Gen. An
derson and the Fusion crowd wait until the
evening of election day. He will then see that
young Irish Americans can and will resent
this lying and villainous SANDER upon them
and their people. IRISH AMERICAN.

The Straight Greenbackers.

Mr.. John B. Chase of Cape Elizabeth, who
led the anti-fusionists on the floor of the
Greenback convention Tuesday, was in
terviewed by PRESS reporter after the con-
vention adjourned and asked to explain his
views in regard to fusion in this Congressional al
district Mr.. Chase said that he knew of no
weakening on the part of any anti-Anderson
man. He is unable to say whether second
convention will be called, or the name of some
straight Greenbacker substituted for that of
Gen Anderson on a ticket to be voted for as
a candidate for Congress, but one or the other
will be done. The display of anti-fusion
strength in the county convention is an indi-
cation OF the real feeling in the party as to
fusion or anti-fusion, in Mr.. Chase's Judgment.
MY Judgment is" said Mr.. Chase, "that An
derson will lose in this district at least one
thousand of the Greenback strength His
anti-war record and his railroad connection
will operate against him."

Arrested for Abduction,

The Providence Press says man giving the
name of Stephen NJ. Barbour, and his resi-
dence Portland, was arrested in Fall River for
abduction of Annie Punz of New York. Her
father missed her Sunday, and heard sire had
taken passage on board the Bristol with Bar
bour. He then mott fed the police. Barbour
was asked by the girl to pay her passage to
Boston, but refused, and he states he had
nothing to do with the girls absence whatever.
The girl tells the same tale. She slept with
woman during the passage. Barbour came
from Philadelphia, and was en- route to this
city on visit to his parents. Annie Punz,
who is thirteen years of age, left her parents
home at the Boiling House, at West and
Chambers streets, Sunday afternoon, going
out with younger brother and sister for
walk ON the piers. At The Fall River Line
pier they were accosted by a stranger and
taken on board the steamer Bristol and enter
tanned by him until the time of sailing. Then
with the gift of a few pennies the two younger
children were sent ashore, and the girl re.
manned and sailed with the stranger. This
is the story the children tell. The case is be-
ing investigated There is no Stephen M.
Barbour in the directory.
