BRUNSWICK, Sept. 6.-The Republican de-
monstration here this evening was vigorous
and enthusiastic. AT half past seven o'clock
the Harrison Guards of Brunswick, preceded
by the Independent Drum Corps and the
French Band, took up3a line of march on
Main street, and arriving at the town hall,
were shown to seats in the front.
Mr.. C. Z. Townsend, in behalf Of the Re-
publican town committee, presented Prof. III.
G. Chapman as chairman of the meeting.
The chairman briefly sketched the issues Of
this campaign and spoke more fully on the
subject of protection. At the close of his
remarks Prof. Chapman introduced the
speaker of the evening, hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge, who was received with tremendous
applause. Mr.. Lodge spoke fairly and in a
business like way ON the subjects of public
economy, civil service, the surplus and pro-
lection, and alluded to the remarks of Presi-
dent Hyde, which he answered to the evident
satisfaction of the audience. The speaker
was frequently interrupted by applause.
AT his conclusion the chairman introduced
Hon. A. W. Tenney, of New York, who ac-
cidentally arrived in town this evening That
gentleman made pleasant illusions to the
result of the Vermont election, and although
his remarks were brief, they were full of
truth and delivered with good effect. Cheers
were given at the close of the remarks and
several choice selections were rendered by
the band. The announcement was made
from the stage that Republican meetings will
be held in this place tomorrow and Saturday

WEST KENNEBUNK, Sept. Ga circular is
being circulated here to the effect that the
firm Of r. W. Lord & Co.. twine manufac-
turers, are importing French help to the ex-
clusion of home help.
The Democrats have used this as political
capital to injure r. w. Lord, Esq, who is
running for State senator from this district
but the truth is this firm has given employ
ment to all the hands 1t could get and has
been forced to get outside help TO fill some
departments in their mill as they have in
creased their busines from some 20 hands to
100, and this business has been the'main stay
of our village. Mr.. Lord is a gentleman
well known in all parts of the county, open
hearted and free handed, and one of the fin
est business men Of our town. He will get s
large vote from all parts of thelsenatorial
trlct, Notwithstanding the circular of Ii
other party, many of whom he has helped IN
the past.

Especial to the Press.l
PREsQUE ISLE, Sept. 4.-The Aroos SAX
Valley is aroused to the Importance of thi
campaign, and alive to the protection of its
threatened interests. At this village in the
early evening there was brilliant torchlight
procession. Preceded by the fine Presque Isle
Band, the procession marched through the
principal streets to the Phair Hotel, where
Hon. w. w. Thomas, Jr., was stopping Mr..
Thomas, Mr.. Allen of the State committee,
and other citizens, were then escorted from
the MOTEL TO the large new Perry Opera House.
The hall was packed full to overfiowing by
more than one thousand persons, who for two
hours listened with interest and attention to
Mr.. Thomas as he eloquenty discussed the
teriH question, and clearly pointed out that
every interest of Aroostook was menaced by
the Mills bill.
Aroostook is now wide awake. Many
Democrats here will stay at home, and others
boldly vote the Republican ticket for the first
time. You can count with certainty upon an
increased majority from Aroostook.

AUGUSTA, Sept. 6.-The Kennebec Jour
nal will say tomorrow morning:
As we supposed, the Portland Herald is
the mere tool, and very cheap one at that,
of the Democrats. 1t published low and
abusive article on Hon. E. c. Burleigh,
which is so notoriously false that it pub
lished a retraction, which we copied in con-
nectlon with the full, conclusive statement
OF Messrs. Titcomb, gentlemen whose stand
are unsurpassed in this or any
other community. But since his retrac-
tion, the editor has been in collusiOn with
some OF the most unscrupulous Demo-
cratic partlsans there are in Maine, and
repeats his misrepresentation of the
Central House management in another
form, which in their obvious intent are as
false as the story he originally told,
and subsequently admitted to be false.
He Will not deny that his second version was
born In the office. of the New Age, with
whose editors he is engaged in Joint as
sault on the Republican candidate. The
present Herald story, purposely told to de-
eeive, comedies that since 1886 the Central
House has not been suspected of being other
than temperance house. The Herald does
not deny that Mr.. Burleighs instructions to
the agents OF the property always have been
to allow no one to rent the house who would
not agree to refuse to sell liquors. 1t does
not deny that the agents have always
aSsea Az na4rrog;io IN gGiod fafth in carrying out
in SO doing have refused much larger rent
without the liquor selling restriction. 1t
does not deny that two years since the owner
OF the house having suspicious, of what no
legal proof e could be obtained. urged that the
occupant OF 1T should be gotten rid of. All
else OF the first and second statements of the
Heralds story are base Misrepresentation
OF the facts. From the date of his owner
ship. Mr.. Burleigh's conduct has been that
OF man OF honor, desirous that the laws
should be obeyed and enforced. But he
as well as the most faithful officer of the law
is liable sometimes to be deceived.
