There will be another grand rally of the
Republicans of Portland at the City Hall to-
night when they will be addressed by Hon.
Benjamin Butterworth of Ohio. Mr.. But
terworth is one of the most able and elo-
quent of Ohio Republicans, and represented
one of The Cincinnati districts for several
terms. Defeated in the last election he was
appointed Comm issiouer of Patents, which
Office he now holds; but the Cincinnati Re
pnblicans have again made him their candi
date, aud his election in October is one of
the things that are certain. He is an orator
of great power and attractiveness, whom it
will be pleasure to cur citizens to hear.
Notice of this meeting is short because it
was uncertain until yesterday that Mr.. But
terworth could come to Portland. Let us
give him welcome that will appropriately
signify the esrnestness of cur interest in the
gallant State of Ohio.

meaningless scurrility abou. the chairman

to be Dot far removed from harmless i'm

tribnted yesterday second long article
maintaining that Mr.. Blaine is insane, ap-

has upset their reason. 1t is difficult to

In answer to the assertion of an Argus
or French Canadian in Lewiston who will
vote for Blaine, the Lewiston Journal says
there is an Irish-American Blaine Club in
that city which already has the names of six
ty Irishmen who will vote for Blaine on its
roster and an equally large French-C Canadian
Republican club. As to the wages in the
Lewiston mills the Journal shows that they
are from % to rs per cent. higher than Eng.
fish operatives are paid for the same class Of
work. That is, if the Democratic free trade
programme is carried out Lewiston opera
tives will receive from a quarter to three
quarters less wages than they are now get

Mr.. F. W. Richie, a prominent Green

GreenbRck question has been virtually set
tied for the present by the decision of the
Supreme Court, and that the great question
of to-day is the tariff, and being in favor of
the protection of American industry he has
decided to support the party that has made

A Lewiston correspondent of the Argus
