Special Despatch to Daily Journal.
Bath, August s. The republicans of Bath
opened the campaign this evening. Adj
dresses were made by Senator Blaine and
Hon. Thomas Fitch of Nevada. Preceding
the meeting a National salute was fred from
CITY Park. All the bells of the city were
rung. The speakers were escorted to the
hall bv grand torchlight procession and a
company of Garfield Veterans. During the
march there was grand display of fire.
works. Columbian Hall, the largest in the
city, was filed to overlooking. and hundreds
were obliged to go away. The hall was most
tastefully decorated. Over the speakers were
two large American flags, between which was
FIVE foot oil painting of General Garfield.
Senator Blaine made one of the best adj
dresses ever heard in the State, and Mr.
Fitch held the audience by mastery speech
until late hour. Upon adjournment OF the
meeting the procession was reformed and
marched to Post Office Square, where the
most beautiful banner that has ever floated
in the State was raised, bearing the names of
Garfield and Arthur. Hon. VIM. z. Frye and
Governor Davis, which was most heartily
cheered by thousands. during which there
was magnificent display Of fireworks. Mu-
sic was furnished by the Bath Cadet Band
and drum corps. This was unquestionably
the grandest meeting ever held in the lower
kennebec valley.
SENATOR BLAINEs REMARKS.
Mr.. Blaine said he would spend little time
| in mere personal eulogy of General Garfield
and none at all in any attempt at detraction
of General Hancock. Both gentlemen are
able upright and honorable. and neither party
will gain ANYTHING by an effort at depreciation
or vituperation of the opposing candidate.
The policies and measures of political organ
| izations are to be judged bv their past history
and present membership, not by the personal
characteristics of the particular individual
| that NAV be selected as a standard bearer.
| The people of the United States are to-day
ENJOYING great degree of prosperity. Labor
| is in demand and well paid. Capital is active
and we'll invested. Farmers, manufacturers
and mechanics are everywhere encouraged
bv abundant employment and fair profit.
| Aside from the inherent energy Of the Ameri-
can people. what are the causes that brought
about this condition of affairs: | do not
mean the petty or incidental causes, but the
grand and general causes. Any Intelligent
man will see that this condition OF affairs
came about as the consequence of two grea'
events in our history.
One was the preservation of the Union OF
the States. The other was the establishment

The true way to take it easy in summer
is not to fret. not TO worry, not to dwell on
the uncomfortable Talk of something be-

heat. Go on with your usual avocation. at
your usual hour, in your usual way. There
$ nothing in the heat 10 harm you if your
habits are ordinarily prudent and regular
If you can ger :acation, and can afford to
take one, take it. 1t probably won't do you
any good, but it may not do you any harm.
1t will to be sure, force you to travel which
is the most uncomfortable thing you can do
at this season; but if you are strong and
healthy, you will probably get through IT.
The change Of water and of food and air at
the place where you go to spend your vaca-
ton will probably make you sick, but such
sicknesses are seldom fatal. You can cure
yourself almost any time by coming home,
and, when you get home, your increased con-
tentmeut will well repay you for the trouble
and suffering of your vacation trip. fyou
can't have a vacation. you will probably be
all the better for not having it. Either way.
the chances are that, with a little OF the
right kind of philosophy, you can make sum

is, instead of the curse that you try to sup

q. A. L., had It's annual campfire
yesterday. Politics and religion are
said to be forbidden topics of discus
sion in the Grand Army. Yet, as a
member of Dahlgreen Post said,
"tilere las been good deal OF politi-
cal discussion among the soldiers
since Hancock has been nominated" !"
Commander of DaIgren Post, Joseph
HadGeld, is a Republican. Yester-
day when asked how he would vote
in the coming election he said he had
always voted the Republican ticket
and intended 10 vote for Garfield be-
cause he was a Republican. When
asked why he would not rather vote
for so distinguished soldier as Han
cock, Mr.. Hadfleld became quite an
CRY without any apparent reason.
"There are plenty oil Hancock men
in this post" he said when he be-
came calm again; ssalmost all the in
dependent soldiers will vote for Han
cock. We have three hundred and
forty members In our post, and the
msjority OF them are Republicans.
Yet Hancock viii get fully two hun
dred votes from The post, because he
is great soldier or course, vote
