Those who read our full and accu-

will see that there was trade made by
which the Greenbackers were to support
two straight-out Democrats in order 10
secure the Democratic vote. Perhaps
there was no fusion about that.

oyFoRD.-The Republicans of Oxford
raised their mammoth Garfield and Davis
flag last Thursday evening. There was the
largest gathering OF Republicans and
others ever held in town. After the flag
raising, the Congregational church was
soon filed to overlooking, hundreds not
gaining admittance; the large audience
then listened TO a powerful ana string
speech from Hon. William p. Frye. Ex-
cellent music was furnished by the South
Paris Cornet band.
A Republican flag is to be raised at
Welchville this week. Also another flag,
same kind, on Fore Street in few days.
The Republicans of Oxford are awake
and will be heard from in September.
