The Examinations were very beautiful and
in many instances quite elaborate. The first
halt made by the parading companies was on
Hospital street, at Postmaster Manley's resi-
dence, which was magnificently illuminated.
Entering the lawn which was lighted with a
fine display of Chinese lanterns, the band
rendered salute. In response Mr.. Manley
addressed the assembled people as follows:
thank you for the compliment you pay
me in this call. We have a right tonight, one
and all, to celebrate the great victory that
was achieved in this State on Monday last l
saw we, because every one of the 10000 men
in Maine who cast ballot for the republican
ticket on Monday. shared in this work, and
was an active participant in it. Gov. ROBBIE
received 81 900 majority over the democratic
candidate. This is the largest majority ever
given to a republican candidate for governor
in Presidential year, and the largest major
ity ever given the republican party, except in
two instances at the close of the
war, when the democratic party failed
to vote. We in Augusta have special right
to celebrate, because in this city we cast
the largest majority by more than 259, which
was ever thrown, and the old county of Ken
nebec gave majority of 34OO, exceeding by
several hundred its best effort since the birth
of the party Here at the home ofthe Presi-
Dental candidate, here in the city which hon
ors itself bv having among its citizens James
G. Blaine, we take especial pride in proclaim
ing to the world that the Republican victory
of Monday last, was the greatest, and the
grandest, and the most complete victory the
republicans have ever in this State achieved.
The division of the people is perfect and
complete answer to the vile slandersi against
the public life and private character of our
candidate He stands by the verdict of the
people of Maine INDICATED from every charge
that has been made against him.
NV friends, the great aud decisive battle of
this campaign is to be fought in the State of
Ohio We have every reason to believe that
the State that gave to the country James A.
Garfield, will prove true to his memory. and
will give its electoral vote to his friend and
trusted companion. With a victory in Ohio
in October next, which is sure to come by
reason of Names verdict, this political con-
test will have been practically ended; and in
November every Northern State, and three,
if not four of the Southern States, will give
their electoral vote to James G. Blaine, and
John A. Logan. On the 4th of November
the Republicans of this city will
invite their friends throughout the
State to meet with them here at the
home of our candidate, and we will all
Join in one grand celebration over his cleo
ton to the Chief Magistracy of this nation.
for the conspicuous and faithful part you
have borne in this great contest. You have
right to spend this night in jubilation, to sing
songs of joy, to listen to the booming of can
non, the ringing of bells, to watch the burn
