Two colors are especially popular for
Scotch gingham dresses, viz: very pale
blue, with white Hamburg embroidery for
trimming, and the quaint dark red shade
that is called "crushed strawberry" with
ecru Irish point embroidery. These dresses
are very simply made, as they are to be
lsundried often, so that they may be always
fresh, and their dressy look is given by the
showy embroidery used upon them.

Miss Pugh, editor of Our Union, made the
opening address. She spoke in high terms of
the beauties of Fryeburg scenery, the quietneGs
OF the place, the freedom from the evils of in
toxicating drinks here and throughout the
State was referred to. Some may say what is
the need of temperance campmeeting in such
q place. We need to educate the young men
and women who so soon will go out to the cit
les of this and other States that they may be
strong and brave for temperance principles.
Or quiet country homes are the bulwarks
against the great waves of infdelity, sabbath
breaking and drunkenness. Ohio would not
be the grand State she is, were it not for that
great breakwater of New England men and
women across the State between the wine of
the north and the beer OF the south.
Mrs Roach spoke particularly of the rise
and progress of the Temperance Union at
Washington, d. @. The young were especially
urged to feel O personal responsibility in the
work of the Union and its various dependen-
eies.
AT p. m. a childrens meeting was held at

and able plea for total abstinence for the lndl-

Report OF the Union Upon the Pacific

LAWRENCE, Mass, August 22.-The Union
of Pacific Mill operatives, who struck work IN
March last, may now be regarded as dissolved
The officers of the organization submit state
ment of its conduct, its probable. effects upon
the management of the corporation in the tu-
ture, and the condition of its finances at the
period of dissolution and at the beginning OF
the strike The report says that over sol
operatives left work, and OF these less than lou
returned to the Pacific Mills. The remainder
were assisted to leave the city and obtain en-
ployment elsewhere, while their famllies or
dependents were supported by the Union, an
ticipating the results of the sJrike. The report
saws that the Parific Mills will learn the blum
der made in causing old, prae tlcal help to
leave them. The great majority OF strikers
have secured employment elsewhere, and will
never return to the Pacific at the reduced
schedule of wages, the result being serious
deSriment to the Pacific corporation and gain
to its rivals. The strikers feel that the stand
made will be beneficial to the cause OF labor
elsewhere than in Lawrence, and while the
lockout which the strike provoked cost them
many sacrifices, it was indefinitely ore dlsas.

That Fusionism is bubble which few pin

An H0naSt BALLOT.

This is the foundation of all reform. The
right of suffrage must be secured to every citi-
zen, white or black, North or South. This is
an indispensable, an absolute necessity, pre-
liminary to government itself. No evil in
public policy, can be remedied, If the power of
the people is to be neutralzed by ballot-box
stutfing, false counts, menaces and personal
violence. With what consistency does the
Democratic party invite the people to discus
sion of public policy when in a large section of
the country. it has destroyed the ballot, the
only means through which the public will can
be expressed?
In some of the Southern States, no legal
government exists to-day. Upon the ruins of
Republican institutions, conspiracy has erected
power that controls, but has small claim to
be popular government. "Might makes
right" has been substituted for "Vox populi,
Vox Del" Why then appeal to the people.
Why discuss with them any reform if by this
Democratic plan, they are to be driven from
the polls, or cheated out of their votes when
cast?
The people Of the North will hardly be
diverted from this second assault of Democracy
upon the Republic, In vain will Democratic
speakers and press, appeal to them in behalf of
this or that reform. If this party would be
recognized as honest, patriotic, wise and to
be trusted with control of the nation, it must
show itself as such, and loyal to Repu blican
institutions in the South, where it is locally
strong. Let it not think to override and sub
vert the rights of the colored Republicans of
the South, and then come, clean handed be-
fore the people, to plead purity Of government
aaS h9peatY hSt t Successfully advocate political
morality.
The Democratic party is under heavier in
dictment than that of proligate expenditures
of public monies, than that of political assess
ments 1T stands convicted of deliberately
striking at popular sovereignty, by overthrow
ing the elective system.
Let temperance advocates, civil service re-
formers, Greenbackers, all with progressive
ideas, who honestly and patiently labor to
secure the adoption of these into the public
policy, note the .act that the Democratic pro-
gramme of fraud and violence at the ba Hot
box, promise to neutralize their every effort.
What use to reason with and rouse the people,
if, when ready to act they are powerless to ex-
press their will? OF what avail is a pure,
awakened public sentiment, if through fear it
must cover and stink away from the polls, or
going, submit to the SARGE of voting in box
already stuffed with tissue ballots?
The people should awake to the magnitude
of this crime, to which Democrats coolly assert
they are driven to secure good local govern
ment at the South. Are our citizens ready to
admit the Democratic claim that universal
suffrage has come to be such an evil as must
be met by revolution.
The voters of Maine should keep we'll in
mind, that this same revolutionary party seeks
supremacy in the national Congress at this
present election.
