NORTH BERWICK, Me. Aug. 25.-The
enthusiasm that greeted Mr.. Blaine ct
6ebago Lake yesterday was repeated,
though more strongly, ct the North Ber.
wick meeting today. Mr.. Blaine's ar.
rival ct the depot and his appearance
on the stage erected at the grove for the
speakers OF the day, both ELECTED wild
expressions Of popular regard. At the
former place many persons seized the
opportunity to shake the hand Of the
Piumed Knight, and ct the close OF the
meeting q steady stream of people
across the platform kept him tusy for
some lit time.
MI. Blaine's speech, which followed
that Of Mr.. Reed, occupied about hall
hour in delivery. The speaker appar-
emily reached greater degree OF tnti
macy with his audience than was tie
case ON the previous day, When he
closely followed Q manuscript. The re.
suit of the greater freedom was seen In
the way in which he carried the sympa
thies OF the audience with him. The
speech WAS different from that of the
day before, and tariff and prohibition
were Its main features. Mr.. Blaine
m Ak ing personal explanation, alluded
to q circular which has been sent out
| and spoke ct some length on the whtsk!
| az.
The sky in the morning looked threat
ening, but the expected storm did no
come. The meeting is spoken OF as
grea. success. 1t Is the last Of MI
BlAine's series in this part Of the Stat
at which Congressman Reed will speak
although that gentleman was an
nounced to address the meetings Of &c
morrow at South Paris and ON Frida
| at Lewistown.
