representatives of the 80 men who bolted

There is no way of satisfying them. The
last time they complained it was that had
captured the democratic organization. Be
it so; then have only let my captives loose.
They seemed to think that | owed debt of
gratitude, in some way, to the democratic or
ganization. How could that be when they
accuse me of having committed a burglary

The Great Meeting

The Blaine and Logan meeting at Mara
nocook yesterday was immcnse--immense
in numbers, and unequaled in the repre-
sentation il gave of the character of
Maine people and the interest they have
in political affairs We have read OF such
mammoth meetings in the West. but
never saw one before to compare with the
great multitude yesterday at Maranocook.
Every part OF the State contributed to its
numbers Not one county was without
representation. In the short space of two
hours the solitude of one of the loveliest
groves in New England was invaded by
thousands upon thousands OF people,
assembled there to listen to words of wis
dom and eloquence from the lips of dis
tiuguished speakers. They were an or
derby. intelligent crowd. intent upon the
object of the meeting. They were the
men and women who are found in our
churches; farmers. mechanics. laborers.
professional men. the flower of the popu-
lation OF our State. those who give ii the
solid reputation it bears, the owners of
homes which have given to other States
and to the larger cities some Of their most
prosperous and respected citizens.
OF course the great attraction at the
meeting was the presence of Mr..
Blaine, the "favorite son of Maine" the
man who it he lives until next March,
will be the next President of the United
States, In that vast sssemblage all were
his friends, women and children as well
as men, the poor and humble as we'll as
the rich and distinguished. 1t was not
necessary that Mr.. Blaine should be nomi-
mated for the Presidency to render him
popular in Maine. His presence always
had a charm tor our people. his voice q
magic power to lead them. They flock
to his standard with eagerness and devo-
ton, both because they admire him. and
because they have faith in the principles OF

which he as candidate for President, is the
representative. There are many who do not
call themselves republicans that are going
to vote for Blaine. They believe in him
and will support him. There are also
many who will vote for Blaine from State
pride. to honor man who has honored
his State. and who will honor it still more
as President OF the United States. So the
great crowd at Maranocook was Blaine
crowd all through. and will send an in
creased wave of enthusiasm for Blaine in
to every part OF the State.
Of the speaking and other features OF
the occasion our telegraph report will give
the particulars.

That vindication of Cleveland which
has been so long promised has failed to
appear The feeble attempts which have
been made all are conclusive testimony
that the charges against Cleveland are
true and that no truthful defence is pos

living and scores OF witnesses have risen
up to prove Cleveland's immoralities.
