mindful of the generous hospitality and brill
liant reception accorded them at Portland, Me-,
few months since, by the Montgomery
Guards, the crack military company of that
city, and pronounced one of the best drilled

RAILROAD NOTES.
Maine Central ana Eastern.

The Boston Transcript says the Maine Ger
trail is ambitious of having its own line to Bos-
ton, and st the meeting held on Tuesday
committee of the directors was appointed to
confer with q committee of the Eastern rela-
tive to leasing the latter road. 1t is under
stood that plans, details, ETC., remain to be
perfected after this conference shall have been
held and the views of the Eastern officially as
certained. The Maine Central is very anxious
that the two roads should be operated in close
harmony, with a view to reducing the running
time between Boston and st. John, and thus
bringing Boston and the Provinces into even
closer commercial relation, to the great benefit
of the consolidated line The Eastern, of
course, has had neither time nor opportunity
g vet to give its view on the matter
The Journal says: GAS the Eastern owns
more than half of the stock of the Maine Gen.
tral il will have two different methods of es-
Gaping the threatened calamity; first, by vot-
ing not to be swallowed up by its Maine extern.
sion, and secondly, by using its power with the
Maine Central to refuse the proposed lease up
on any terms, unless it should amount to vir'
tual consolidation of the two concerns

A successful Detectlon.

Detective Head of Portland, was in Lewis
ton Wee nesday evening. At the Hibernian
picnic at Lake Msranocook Wednesday, the
detective, assisted by policeman Allen, of Ban
gor captured rum-seller named VIM. Ray of
Bangor. Head had noticed Ray at one or two
previous celebrations at the Lake, and had rea-
son to suspect he was IN the business. Last
week, he tried to catch him, but Ray proved
too sharp On Wednesday, he shrewdly laid
trap for Ray, into which he fell. The detec-
tive proved sale on him and confiscated his
valise, containing twenty bottles of liquor,
ranging in size from quarts down to half pints
Ray was turned over to Deputy Sheriff Soule,
tahen to Winthrop and arrai med before
trial justice, who sentenced him to three
months imprisonment and fine of $50 The
detective says Ray is one of the smartest rogues
he ever met, and thinks his example will make
the rum sellers shy of Maranocook. The
Maine Central people and Mr.. Head are de-
termined that no liquor shall be sold at Mara

A Reminder of Old Times in

THE WELCOME EXTENDED
TO HON. w. w. THOMAS, JR.
A Magnificent Audience Listens
to Senator Frye.
MOST AUSPICIOUS OPENING OF THE
CAMPAIGN IN PORTLAND.

Surely the Republicans of this city are to be
congratulated on the suspicious opening OF the
campaign in Portland last evening. The first
gun proved double shotted and of the heaviest
calibre 1t struck the Fusion craft well amid
ships, and sent the splinters flying in every d.
rection. It was tremendous contrast to the
unfortunate meeting held by the Twin SIS
ters in the same hall on the oath of last month.
Then the principal speakers were SICK or ap-
sent from other causes, and sad array OF
empty benches showed the lack OF interest
taken in this contest by their rank and Tile.
Last evening superb audience CncludiDg
many ladies who graced the galleries with their
presence) filled the great hall to repetition,
while numbers stood in the farther aisle The
Yarmouth Band discoursed most attractive
music prior to, aud during the meeting, o.
tanning many compliments from their auditors
When, at $40 p. M. the long array OF distin-
guished men marched upon the stage, led by
Chairman Marks of the committee, and the
familiar faces of $50 many men Maine has
delighted to honor were noticed, a tremendous
burst OF applause went up from the great au-
dience.
Among the we'll known Republicans upon
the stage besides the list of officers of the
meeting mentioned below, were ex-Gov. Ding
ley, Capt. Charles A. Boutelle, Hon. Seth l..
MilIiken, Hon. Green B. Raum, commissioner
of internal revenue, Hon. Fred N. Dow, Hon.
Joseph A. Locke, Judge Goddard, and others.
When the chairman introduced Hod. Will
liam W. Thomas, Jr., as president of the meet
ing, tremendous round of applause followed
which was repeated again and again, and when
Senator Frye came forward the deafening ap-
plause was continued with a persistency, show
ing the hold the Senator has on his coustitu
ents.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.. VIII
liam NJ Marks, chairman of the city commits
tee, who offered the following list of officers,
which were received with applause and adopt

Is 1t a Hoax?

Yesterdays Argus said the yacht Segroche,
from Boston, with a party of excursionists,
consisting of Messrs. Pope, Monroe, Water
house and Loring, was in collision with schoon-
or j. w. Bradley, fisherman of Swampscot,
Mass, in the fog off Pemaquid Point, Wednes-
day, and completely wrecked. The wreck was
towed into Townsend harbor, and the party
arrived safely in Portland last night
The Boston Herald of yesterday says that a
dispatch from Portland making the above
statement and saying the party was from Rice,
Kendall s. Co.'s, and the Boston Post office
was received in Boston, but inquiry revealed
the fact that at neither Rice, Kendall & Co. 81
nor the Post office had any one left on any
yachting trip, and the boats name is not re-
corded on the marine lists Of Boston harbor.

Was it a Burglery?

The store of Mr.. George Stevens of Knight
vile, was entered Wednesday morning, the
door was forced in by the use of a crow bar,
and the store ransacked in the most business
like manner. Some twenty dollars in money
was stolen Mr.. Stevens lives over the store,
and his dog, and large and powerful one,
was loose in the store through the night. The
dog was apparently all right in the morning,
but why he paid no attention to whoever en-
tered the store is likely to continue a mystery.

WHY TH1sHATRED?

Is it because twenty years ago there was re-
bellion in this country, into which half of the
Democrats went and The other half would have
gone if thoy had dared to-Wlth the exception
Of the war Democrats, God bless them. The
war resulted in victory for the Union cause
and the Republic was saved. Is that the rea-
son they hate us so? We took the Republican
hammer and struck the irons from four mil
lions of our fellow citizens, and made this for
the first time in our history free Republic.
Do they hate us for that?
Is it because in 1862 when there were $780,
100000 of acquisitions and no money in the
Treasury, and an army of 100000 men in the
field who had been unpaid for four months,
the Republican party came TO the rescue OF
the government? Senator VIM. Pitt Fessen-
den said at that time that there we're but two
courses to pursue. One was to send half Of
the army into the North to seize the property

But, said MIR. Frye, what has that to do with
Maine. Here every man votes as he pleases
There are no dead lines, no hollow anvlls.
Reference was then made to the State steal.
But while some allowance might be made Tor
class prejudice in the South, there is no such
excuse in the State of Maine. And the most
humiiating thing of all is that in six months
after this great crime was committed, one-hali
OF the voters of the State went to the polls and
justified it. 1t is foul blot upon our
escutcheon. 1t is just as black, just as dis
graceful, as the crimes against the ballot In
the South, and has made every Maine man out
of the State blush with shame.
Is the Republican party treading upon the
poor man? His only protection is the ballot.
What has been the course of the Republican
party? In no instance has that party
interfered with the ballot and reaped the
fruits. In every case the Republican party
has been the champion Of the poor man with

ELEcrIoN FRAUDS IN THE SOUTH.

After some remarks upon the importance OF
afree ballot, MIR. Frye referred to the situation
in Mississippi, reading some facts from court
records In one court after the last election,
there were sixty convictions for election frauds
and 100 warrants issued were not served. When
thew convict down there the evidence must be
pretty satisfactory One Republican supervis-
or was driven from the polls with pistol. His
duty was simply to stand behind the ballot box
and see the voters deposit tkeir ballots. At
another polling place the Democrats had Can

A leading Democrat took his cane and drew

South Carolina there are 100000 colored men
and 800 900 white men, and yet there is Dem

read transcripts from court records in Texas,
where precincts gave large Republican Inalori-

government. 1t came into power in 1861 and
found the treasury ban Srupt great war was

the people have been cheated. But 1t
is encouraging now TO know that we

Clerk Hickey will be able to get around

not only have to stamp those used in
the markets but the truckers and deal
ers all over the city will be compelled
to have theirs regulated and stamped
also and of course when they apply to
Mr.. Hickey he will not refuse to stamp
them though the ordinance only applies
to the City markets. People who deal
at stores will no doubt see to it that the
dealer has the properly city stamped
weights and measures and if they have
not, they will go to the markets where
they are in use. Owing to this Mr..
Hickey will be apt 10 find that he will
have all the weights and measures
