Republican Rally.

Last Saturday evening Hancock hall
was filled with crowd eager to listen to
discussion OF the political issues Of the
day
DR.. George A. Phillips presided, and
after brief Introductory remarks, intro
duced as the speaker OF the evening, Hon.
Mahlon Pitney, republican congress
man from New Jersey.
After some complimentary illusions to
the good old State of Maine, Mr.. Pitney
pitched right into the currency question,
and for nearly two hours he held the
strict attention of the audience to an ex-
position of the subject in hand. 1t was
by all odds the most thorough and telling
argument for sound money that has been
heard here during this campaign.
He made proposition after proposition,
and did not leave one until by strongest
evidence and remorseless logic he proved
it. His disposal OF the alleged ''crime of
1879 was most effectual. He showed that
not only was there no motive for dis
eliminating against silver at that time,
but also that if there had been motive
to discriminate against either metal as a
measure of value, it must have been
against gold.
After a thorough discussion of that
particular phase OF the currency ques-
tion, he dismissed the charge as a stu
pendous historic lie, clinching his point
by showing that the very men who are
now Ioudest in making the charge were
in 1878 foremost in their advocacy of the
change that then took place.
Mr.. Pitney was frequently interrupted
by applause. At the close he received the
heartiest kind OF congrat ulations.

Democratic Rally.

Last Wednesday evening the democrats
fired the opening gun of the campaign at
Hancock hall. The hall was fairly well
filled.
George B. Stuart, chairman of the city
committee, presided, and opened the
meeting with brief address. NJ. P.
Frank, OF Portland, democratic candidate
for governor, and Hon. John Scott, Of
Bath, were the speakers.
Candidate Frank spoke first. He is a
gentleman OF good presence; he spoke
clearly and distinctly; he made no at
tempts at oratory, but used conversa-
tional tone throughout.
His speech WAS wholly upon the curren-
cy question, his main point being he al
legged "crime OF 1873" He undertook to
show the motives for it on the part of he
government bond holders; to show that
it was the elimination of deep-laid plot
to enhance the value of the bonds at the
expense of the people.
Substantially all the industrial and
financial ills that have oye.t taken this
country since 1873, Mr.. Frank attributed
to the discontinuance of the free coinage
of silver.
Mr. Scott followed. Mr.. Scott was a
delegate to the Chicago convention. He
paid a high compliment to Candidate
Frank, and expressed regret that there
was no hope OF his election.
NJ Scott's speech was an ingeniously
worded affair and was cleverly delivered
He held the attention of the audience to
the close.
Monag hans band played, as it had at
the republican rally the week before,
with exquisite non partisanship.

Miss Mabel Monaghan.

Miss Mabel Monaghan, who is study
| ing music at West Harwich this summer
took part in a concert given on Aug. 20,
| by Miss Grace HentZ, reader, at Harwich.
OF Miss Monaghan's performance the
local paper says:
"Miss Mabel Monaghan, pupil of Prof.
| Charles r. Adams has rich, sweet voice,
which she displayed to good advantage on
this occasion. Her selections had wide
range, and required more expression than
the average solo. She thus gave most ad-
mirably full scope to her powers in the
classical realms Of the muses.. Miss Mon
aghan's accompanist was Miss Zella M.
Cole, an accomplished artist"
An interesting outcome of this concert
was that some ladies and gentlemen in
the audience were 50 pleased with Miss
Monaghan's singing that they proposed
concert for her benefit. The idea was
promptly acted upon, and last Friday
evening the concert was given. The fol-
lowing account of it is sent THE AMERI-
CAN:
"a benefit concert successful socially,
artistically and financially, was given on
Friday evening, Aug. %, at the residence
Of Capt. and Mrs. Doane at West Harwich
for Miss Mabel Monaghan, Of Ellsworth,
Maine.
"The welknown and wealthy philan-
thropist of Boston, Caleb Chase, was the
prime mover in the affair assuring its sue
cess from its inception.
"Miss Monaghan looked and sang beau
tifully, she was ably assisted by the lovely
| wife of the renowned master, Charles r.
Adams, Miss Grace Hentz, reader, Miss
Cole, a young pianist, Mrs. Conner, who
played the violin exquisitely, Miss Craft,
OF California, who sang several selections
and others.
"Governor Sprague made brief remarks
at the close in behalf of Prof. Adams and
Miss Monaghan, thanking the audience
| for their kindness.
"Among the notables present were Mr..
| Haydn society, OF Boston, Mrs. Frances
Dunton Wood, the famous singer, the
| beautiful Mrs. Stetson and her husband
Mr.. Chase, wife and party, and many
others among the elite of Cape Cod sum-
| mer society"
