the top it bears the names of Garfield and
Arthur in beautifully executed fancy letters.
Directly under the names of the National can
didates is painted that of Daniel f. Davis.
During the day copious showers of rain fell
and grave fears were entertained that the cere-
mony of unfurling the flag would have to be
omitted, but late in the afternoon the clouds
cleared away and the gorgeous sunset which
followed fully relieved the people of all appre-
tensions felt on the score of bad weather.
After supper crowds began to assemble in
the square, every road leading into town was
filled with the teams of farmers coming in
from the ont-lying districts AS early as
O'Clock every available hitching in the village
was in use.
While the crowd was coming together the
Freeport Cornet Band discoursed several
selections in style creditable to themselves,
and most acceptable to the waiting audience,
judging from the applause. A few minutes
after seven the flag was run out amid
hearty shouts and cheer. The Band played
"The Red, White and Blue" after which Mr..
William A. Mitchell, the chairman of the
evening, introduced H. G. Briggs, Esq, of
Portland who addressed the meeting in re-
marks appropriate and suited to the occasion.
His speech which was we'll received took up
about thirty-fve minutes and was devoted
mostly to comparison tf the records of the
two dominant parties, the strong and weak
points of each being contrasted in very
striking and forcible manner.
The meeting was then adjourned to the
Town Hall to listen to speech by A. A.
Strout, Esq Mr.. Strout began his speech by
quite extended remarks in relation to the
grand principles of freedom and liberty which
are the ground work of our system of govern
and fair count could not be implicitly relied
on our bOaSted free institutions would soon be-
come thing of the past.
The Estate steal' was then taken up and
discussed at great length. in order that his
audience might get full and correct under
standing of the true inwardness Of the magni-
tude OF the conspiracy executed under the eye
of Gov. Garcelon and his rascally crew of
tabulators Mr.. Strout exhibited a series of
enlarged Photographic copies of the altered
and forged returns, also copies of letters by
Fogg and others.
After the "count OUT had heen thoroughly
overhauled and shown up, the Republicans
were most eloquently exhorted to stand by
their party nominees, the speaker prophesying
that honest, faithful work could only result in
the triumphant election of Gov. Davis in
September and Garfield and Arthur in Novem-
ber.
