| MIR. REEDS SPEECH AT SOUTH wINDHAM.
[From Our Regular Correspondent
Monday, August Doth, will long be re-
! membered in South Windham history as
the day on which the Hon. Thomas B.
Reed spoke at the Republican rally. Mr..
| Reed was introduced by Mr.. C. T. New
ell of Richmond. Mr.. Newell himself
made brief but sensible speech. Mr..
Reed contrasted our comfortable homes
| with the homes of our fathers and drew
the inferencesthat the party under which
these comforts had come to us must be
well enough and therefore it was best to
let it alone. There was large audience
of at least 500 people gathered to hear
him and his speech was very well re-
ceived. Before the speech was the flag
raising and music by the band. On the
platform we noticed Col. Millett and Mr..
Harding of Gorham.
John Lloyd Thomas will speak at the
Prohibition rally on Friday evening.
