ever. "Now three cheers for Tommy Dono-
van." yelled another excited youngster. The
crowd wasn't refusing anything and Tommy
Donovan was duly honored. Then a bold
urchin called out "Three cheers for me-"
and honors of that sort being easy, he got
them. All this was just a few minutes be-
fore the procession Of Democratic politicians,
headed by the Hon. Arthur Sewall, marched
on to the stage, escorting the Hon. William
L. Putnam. But before that procession ap-
peared, five or six stalwarts set up and

SUBURBAN NEWS.
RowERY BEACH.

The agitated state of the ocean for several
days past has caused another Of the four un-
fortunate men lost here last winter in the
schooner Nellie Bowers, to become detached
from the sunken wreckage, and the body
was cast upon the strand near the Ocean
House, Wednesday morning. Thursday the
body of another, Charles Higgins, Of Rock
port was washed ashore.
Notwithstanding the serious accident en-
countered by portion of the party at its
start, the st. Lawrence street Sunday School
had very enjoyable picnic at the Two
Lights.
An elegant gold watch and charm at
tachment, belonging to Mrs. Harvey Muir
ray, and lost by that lady on the Two Lights
premises some three weeks ago. was found
July 4th by Mr.. Hanna's little niece, Miss
Gertie Keene.
About forty carriages in all entered the
Two Lights enclosure ON the Fourth. Most
of the people brought lunch with them, aud
from the time Of noon until 4 d. M little
coteries of people were seen in the grove and
ON the breezy slopes munching the contents
of plethoric picnic baskets
The life saving station was gaily decked In
bunting, and the keeper Of the Lights dis
played modest banner.
Two young men from the city, who were
bound to go fishing regardless of Neptune's
forbidding aspect, capsized a small skitf be-
longing to the life saving keeper, and with
some difficulty succeeded in gaining the
shore unaided. Lager beer made the craft
too top-heavy.

man, whose face is usually pleasant as a
Jure morning, and whose voice ought to
have howled out like the north wind in
March, gave cheer that would have lulled
an infant to sleep. Neither did the Hon. 5.
S. Brown seem to forget that he had been
bowled over at the Augusta convention, and
he and the Hon. William II. Clifford together
did not make enough noise to scare Bidde-
ford rat. But Hon. Arthur Sewall, who with
Hon. Payson Tucker and Mr.. Putnam holds
the majority stock in the Democratic party
in Maine, was wildly enthusiastic.
Mr.. Putnam said he had right to be there
to take part in this meeting in so far as to
speak of the merits Of Grover Cleveland and
Allen G. Thurman, and as a citizen of Port
land to explain the issues. He would allude
briefly at the outset to some things not in is
sue. On the Saturday night Immediately
preceding the election of Cleveland, Re-
publican speaker in Boston had declared
that the change that would result from the
election Of Cleveland would not be merely a
transfer of the government from one party
to the other, but would make revolution in
our industrial and economical system and in
the sovereignty of the people. There was
nothing now of that feeling left. No part Of
the country had suffered at the hands of
Grover Cleveland. That is no longer an ele-
ment Of Presidential contest. Our oppo-
nents, said Mr.. Putnam, accuse us Of being
in favor of British free trade and against
protection. But | say, continued Mr.. Put
nam, and l say it to the credit Of the Repub-
lican party and the Democratic party that
the whole country is loyal to the flag and to
the laboring man. The prosperity of the la
boring man lies at the very foundation OF the
prosperity of the country. The day never
existed when the American people were so
prosperous as today. Never was there a
time when the American people had so good
reason to be proud as they have today.
Mr.. Putnam then turned to discussion Of
the issue, and at the beginning read the prin-
ciples enunclated by the Democratic conven-
tion at st. Louis, which he said were the doc
trines of the Democratic party. Out of those
principles had flowed the message Of the
President which led to the issue Of tariff re-
form. He was not going to say that if the

FIRST SHAKE OF THE RED BANDANNA
The Boys Drummed In From all the
Country.
Mr.. Putnam Makes His First Speech
of the Campaign.
Mr.. Bass Swings His Hat and Leads
the Cheering.

There was lively beating of the bushes all
over Maine yesterday to get enough Demo-
Gratis together to fill City Hall last night TO
listen to the rehearsal Of the glories Of the
reign of Grover Cleveland, and the story of
the misdeeds of the dreadfully wicked Re
publicans. But there is no great attractive
ness about these twice told tales, and consid-
cradle inducements were necessary to stir up
the loyal to undertake the journey. 1t was
especially difficult to stir up the boys over
East For instance: There were probably
two hundred men in the delegation which
came to Portland from Augusta, but these
were raised only after the most determined
effort. Tickets were purchased by the local
managers and freely given away to those
who would go. One man said he had four
offered him, and another seven. Still, when
they got here they were happy, and hoped to
be happier yet before they went away.
The out of town Democrats arrived on
late afternoon trains and were met by
the Putnam Phalanx. Captain c. A.
Cushing, headed by Chandler's Band of
this city. Upon the arrival Of the Bangor
train the line was formed and the procession
marched in the following order down Con-
gress street to Stale, to Spring, to High, to
Congress, to Exchange. to Middle, to the
Democratic headquarters, where flag bear
ing the names Of the Democratic candidates
for President, Vice President, Governor and
Representative to Congress, was raised:

a marching salute and cheers.
