the town of WATERFORD Monday evening. AT
7.3O o'clock the WATERFORD and Hollis bands
made parade tolloWea ny tne WATERFORD
under command of Capt. Libby, who evinces
a lively interest in the work of the campaign
now in progress. The club then took posi-
tion in front of Mr.. Henry Carle's residence,
where selection was played that was much
enjoyed by the audience. Mr.. Carle's bril-
liant display of Chinese lanterns and gayly
colored pennants was the first indication
that East Waterboro's patriotism was up
10 the high water mark, and although his
house was Illuminated from garret to kitch-
en-, even then it was not half so full of light
as its owner was of the sort of Republican
patriotism that didn't intend that the Demo
Gratis or any of the out-of-the-way parties
should ever be able to furnish the equal to
Monday nights demonstration. Even the
Democratic housewives could not refrain
from lighting their best lamps the enthusi-
asm was so infectious. About 8 o'clock
beautiful American flag with the names Of
Harrison and Morton, Burleigh and Reed
was raised amid rousing cheers from hun
dreds of voices when Mr.. b. +. Hoyt, as
chairman, made brief speech that was full
of good points and paid glowing tribute to
the flag. Hon. Joseph A. Locke of Port
land, was then introduced and was received
with burst of applause His address was
hearty applause. The speaker considered it
an honor and an unexpected pleasure as
we'll to address so many people of good old
York county. He came to speak on a great
question which came nearer to the happi-
ness of the people before him than any 9TH
or of the great questions of recent cam
paigns. The meeting closed with three
rousing cheers for the speakers, also for she
flag that now CALAMITY floats at East Water
boro.
