campaign been more active than at Saccarap-
where has there been a greater or more
general interest manifested In matters per-
tanning to politics. The citizens Of both
places, especially the Republicans, are wide
awake to the issues of the day, and undoubt-
edly very large vote will be polled next
Monday. The Democrats have tried to gain
ascendeney by making the campaign con-
troversy ON the merits of certain local ques-
tions, thus diyerting as much as possible the
public attention from the more important
and real issues Of the day. In this attempt,
however, it is very evident they have not
been successful The Republicans showed
by their grand rally at Saccarappa last night
that they fully appreciated the great ques-
tions which have been put to the citizens Of
this country for them to decide by their bal
lots az the polls. Never since the first water
wheel began to move with the current Of the
old Presumpscot has there been such a dem
onstration In Westbrook as was givent e
last night by the enthusiastic Republicans OF
Saccarappa and Cumberland Mills.

Mr.. Staples. When the train bearing the
battalion passed through Cumberland Mills
the platform of the depot was crowded.with
| people who loudly cheered the clubs. Upon
arriving at Saccarappa the home campaign
companies and one from Gorham were
found drawn up in lines awaiting the Port
land battalion. The streets of the village
were thronged with people, fireworks were
discharged and cannon doomed. The Port
