WEST FALMOUTH AWAKE.
Magnificent Flag Raising, at Which
Uncle SOlon is Present with ssThem


Steers"
At least one thousand of the citizens of
West Falmouth were addressed last evening
by Scion Chase and John n. Fogg, Esq, of
this city. W. 7. Small, ESQ.,, presided. Great
enthusiasm was manifested at the appearance
of Uncle Scion, a large crowd, headed by a
band of music, meeting him at the residence
of Mr. D. +. Small. From this place, Uncle
Scion, seated in genuine OK cart, drawn
by "them steers" was escorted to the speak
ers' stand, erected opposite the stors OF W. P.
Newman. A magnificent Blaine and Logan
flag was then flung to the breeze.
John FL. Fogg, Esq, made sharp and tell
ing speech of thirty minutes, reviewing the
past and present position Of the Democratic
and Republican parties, and clearly explaining
the tariff question.
Scion Chase then delivered one of his char
acteristio speeches in which he reviewed the
principles of the Greenback party and urged
his old friends in it to vote with the Republi-
can party, as they had 'hesrd the tramp of
cowhide boots," and the currency question
having been settled by the Supreme Court,
the Republican party is the only place left for
an honest Greenbacker.
The magnificent success of the affair is due
to the energy of d. f. Small, G. II. Clifford,
Augustus Flynn and +. A. Merrill whose res
licences were brilliantly illuminated, that Of
G. ii. Clifford deserving especial mention.

To the Editor Of the Press:
In the Argus of to-day is Communication

Cunningham was asked by his workingm en-.
who were employed by him in the new Brown
block, for few minutes leave to vote for
John W. Deering for Mayor, refused them
that time. These men were Irish Americans"
The above is an absolute falsehood. ON the
day of the election in March, 1883, I had no
men employed at the Brown block, nor any
where else. doubt very much if anv "Irish
American" wrote such an infamous lie. 1 de-

unduly influenced by me, with reference to his
political action. JAMES CuNNINGHAM.
