TORCH LIGHT PROCESSION.

We saw at Milwaukee, on Tuesday night
last, most beautiful and novel sight, in the
shape OF "a torch light procession.
1t was got up by the democrats of that
place, in honor of Wisconsin's new Cover
nor, the Hon. n. P. Tallmadge
Truly an enlivening sight, were those
long lines of flashing torches, born up by IL
wing, moving chandeliers, winding their
brilliant length along like long trains of daz-
cling stars. We noticed occasionally in the
procession some hardy sons of old Neptune
with loose white pants, and blue embroider-
ed shirts, wide open at the neck with their
little tarPaulin hats set jauniinsly back from
their heads, and fresh healthy faces lit up
with JOY. But the principal part were staid
sober-faced German; imbued all, with deep
feeling of Republicanisln, and seemingly in
tent on giving their new Governor a right
hearty old fashioned democratic greeting.
The procession after marching through
the principle streets, reached the Milwaukee
House, where the two lines parting to the
right and left, formed mi.circle around
the front of the house, with two excellent
bands of music in the enclosed area. Here
Gov. Tallmadge was waiting uncovered, up

THE MIDDLE STATES

The nominations of SKUNK in Pennsvi-

received with as deep and enthusiastic a
feeling as that Of the great SILA4 WRIGHT

They unite the Democratic Party not only
firmly but zealously. We all know that
there is fire and enthusiasm here. The
same tone pervades Pennsylvania and New

presidential prospects of Gov. Polk are
not frightening in the light of approaching
victory? Even our wing opponents feel
more dsmayed than they have in months.
Their Great Embodiment is gradually GO

regard to Archbishop Carroll. it is said
that in everything Of doctrine or practice

Archbishop instantly answered. why

The WOMEN Although per-

that she was first resident of Michigan in

were made to establish school in the dis

frequent meetings, but always broke UP

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM MAINE.

In the recent election for Governor and
Members of Congress in this state, the De-
mocrats have achieved most brilliant tri-
umph. The returns are not in from all the
towns, therefore we shall not at present give
any details. Suffice it to say, that the De-
mocratc candidate for Governor will have a
majority of TEN THOUSAND over the
Wing candidate, and FIVE THOUSAND
over all others. The Senate and House are
and will be about two thirds democratic,
The democrats have elected four, the wings
one member of Congress. Two d'stricts
are yet uncertain. They will in all proba-
blity be democratic.
We recollect before the election in this
state, the N. Y. Tribune, had long article
addressed TO the Wings OF Maine. Among
other things they were urged to action in
view of the influence which their victory
would have throughout the Union. The cd
itor stated that nothing had a greater influ-
ence in the contest of 1910, than the victo-
ry achieved by the wings in Maine. Now.
will not this rule work both ways; is it not a
harbnger of triumph throughout the Union!
We look upon it in that light. Ii is indica
tive of what we may expect of the old de-
rnocratic states in November next, Maine
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania
&c. These states are known to be demo-
cratic when their forces are united and Wig
orous, and this result in Maine tells that
they are both united and vigorous.
We say that this result in Maine is a har-
binger of glorious triumph in November
next. Taking it, with the indications which
reach us from other sections of the Union,
we look upon the election of James X. Polk
as certain as any future event. We shall
not be surprised if Clay's electoral vote falls
below 100.
