BRIDGTON.
Another Imposing Republican Demon
Stration.

BRIDGToN, Aug 90, 1880.
MR.. EDITOR: The Republicans of this wide
awake village held another successful rally
last Saturday evening, at Central Hall, not
withstanding the rainy weather which caused
a postponement OF the contemplated open-air
meeting. AT an early hour the hall was filled
by an appreciative audience of citizens of this
town. After fine selection by the Bridgton
Brass Band, Hon. VIM. W. Cross as chairman
of the meeting introduced as the speaker of
the evening Ex-Governor Sidney Perham, who
was welcomed with much enthusiasm. For
two hours Governor Perham discussed in a
fair, frank. courteous and forcible manner
National and State issues. His explanations
of the late temperance convention, the State
STEAL the tariff questions and the great and
important National issues of the day carried
conviction with them, and were able and can
did presentations of the duties of every cti-
zen of this State and country. One could not
help noticing the difference between the gem
tlemanly language of Governor Perham Sat
urday evening and the abusive and ridiculous
language of Gen. Anderson, John M. Todd
and Caleb A. Chaplin at the fusionssmeeting
so outrageous statement as Gen. Anderson
when the General said in his speech here,
There is not a member of the supreme court
OF this State to-day who would not willingly
give half his years salary if he could blot out
his record on that disgracetul decision last win
ter" Governor Perham did not tell his audi
ence that they had got to support this or that
doctrine whether they wanted to or not as did
John M. Todd. Governor Perham did not per-
sonally abuse individual members of the fu-
sion party or attempt to follow the course of
Hon. c. A. Chaplin in his attacks on individ
ual Republican citizens of his own county.
Prominent Democrats here acknowledge that
we had for fairness and courtesy ga far better
meeting than they did and the Republicans
feel well satisfied. Governor Perham is de-
servedly popular here for he always does us
good. AT the close of the meeting, the pass
ing showers having left us, the Garfield and
Arthur Club gave torchlight parade headed
by the Bridgton Brass Band, closing with
serenade to Governor Perham at the Bridgton
House, for which he gratefully returned his
thanks SIG.
