Democratic Rally.


The Democrats had large audience at City
Hall last night. Previous to the meeting the
campaign clubs paraded and made good dis
play, while the Portland Band furnished good
music
The meeting was called to order by the
chairman of the Democratic city committee
who ominated Thos. F. Donohue for chair
man.
The chair announced unnecessarily that this
was Democratic meeting and would be ad.
dressed by Democratic speakers. He said they
had had an exhibition of Irish Republicans in
this city about the head centre of which he
had very little to say. Mr. Donahue read an
extract from an Indianapolis Democratic
paper, declaiming against the Irish Republi-
can movement.
The chairman next paid his respects to w.
FL. Looney, ESQ.,, President of the Irish Re-
publican Club, saying he hoped to see him
back soon in the old homestead-the Demo-
cratic party-the party of liberty which freed
the slaves. He then made the astounding
statement that the Republicans didn't eman-
cipate the slaves, on the contrary that great
event was brought about by the Gems McClel-
Ian aud Hancock. The chair next stated that
there were other distinguished speakers here,
who would address the meeting, and after the
usual Zone word more" continued quoting
history, interlarded with the phrase "Gallant
Hancock" which brought forth faint ap-
plause.
Judge Blake of Connecticut was introduced
to the great disappointment of the audience,
who expected Mr.. Grady of Tammany
Hall. Judge Blake commenced by obiecting
to the introduction of nationality into Ameri-
can politics and then aSsailed the leaders of
the Irish Republican movement especially
w. II. Looney, whom the Democrats evidently
think has no right to choose for himself.
The speaker next paid his respects to Judge
Morrison and assailed his veracity regarding
the scratching of Francis Herman of New
York, claiming that although Herman ran be-
hind his ticket, yet he ran we'll up to Horace
Greeley. He next defended the Democratic
caucus, in rejecting the nomination of Gen.
Shields on the ground that a majority of the
Democrats preferred the Confederate General
Field.
Judge Blake next broke loose in a most
reckless manner, claiming like the chairman
that the great majority of the soldiers in the
late war, including Grant, Logan, Hooker and
speaker, that plank in the Republican plat
form which claims that it was the party that
saved the country is a lie and falsehood."
The speaker related several stale anecdotes
after which he closed with a eulogy of Gen
Hancock
Hon. Thos. G. Ecclesine of New York was
next introduced, who gave rehash of the ex-
ploded DeGolyer and Credit Mobilier ISLANDERS,
and then paid his respects to the Irish Republi-
cans, closing with a touching appeal to the
Irish to cling to the Democratic party.

Speech Of Congressman Burrows Last
Evening.


The Hon. j. G. Burrows spoke last evening
to an attentive and intelligent audience.
Mr.. William Plummer, chairman of the Re-
publican City Committee, called the meeting
to order, and introduced A. w. Coombs, ESQ,

he would not, at that hour, detain the meeting
with speech, and presented the distinguished
speaker OF the evening, the Hon. j. G. Bur-
rows, who was received with loud applause on

to listen to Hon. r. G. Horr of Michigan on
the issues of the day. The speaker was in
troduced by E. FL. Elwell, ESQ.,, President of
the Woodford's Republican Club, in few
will timed remarks. Mr.. Elwell said that
we are called upon to consider the important
questions of the day. The voice of Maine
will be felt at the next election. The great
infamy of the State steal must be blotted out.
We shall certainly do it and the voice of
Maine will be felt and ''as goes Maine so goes
the Union"
Hon. R. G. Horr was then introduced and
delivered one of his inimitable speeches full

The Irish Republican Club.

The Argus says that the names of only two
of the officers of the Irish Republican club can
be found in the directory, that one is driver
of a hose carriage and the oaher waiter. The
president of the club, Mr.. James Murphy, was
second lieutenant of the Montgomery Guards,
and the secretary, Mr. Flanagan is a we'll
known contractor. Mr.. William Dugan is
not waiter, and was lieutenant of the Han
cock Guards. Even were Mr.. Dugan waiter
that circumstance would be no har to the
free expression of his political opinions. The

FAIRFIELD, Sept. 2.
We have just closed rousing rally ad-
dressed by Hon. A. A. Strout of your city.
The audience was good and had among them
large number of Democrats and Greenbackers,
just the ones such an address would reach and
convince, and the fact that they remained un-
til the close proves that they were interested
in the presentation of the different cases. Mr..
Strout never spoke better The audience was
in sympathy with him and though he spoke al
most three hours hardly man left the hall.
Such meetings as these do good
Friday night the Enforced Prohibition par

the hands of old-time Democrats.

Mai. P. M. Fogler, register of deeds for
Kennebec county, has just returned from
three weeks trip to Knox county, and is con.
fdent of immense Republican gains in that
section. Last year the Republicans were in
minority of 1,470 in that county; but now it
looks as if these odds were to be overcome,
and old Knox redeemed. Mr.. Fogler says the
Democrats and Greenbackers don't fuse worth
cent in Knox county. The Democrats say
that the Greenbackers demand all the offices,
and express great dissatisfaction at their
greediness. Many soft-money Republicans
are leaving the wreck of Greenbackism, and
coming back to their old party. In the town
of Hope-a small town-there will be Repub-
blican gain of at least %. Republican rallies
are enthusiastic and crowded, while the
Fusion meetings are tame and dispiriting
affairs, Gen. Logan did an immense amount
of good in that section; Hicks of Florida is
drawing crowds, and is pronounced to be an
impassoned orator, almost the peer of Inger-
soil. Milliken's chances are excellent, and
he is confident of victory.
