GRAND REPUBLICAN ToRcHLIGHT Process
SION IN BosToN.-The Fremont and Dayton
torchlight procession at Boston, Wednesday even
ing, was the greatest and most imposing political
demonstration ever witnessed in New England.
There were ten divisions with thousands of torch
es, and series of transparent tableaux, repre-
senting the most striking features developed dur
ing the presidential campaign. Of the number
in the procession it is difficult to judge. Provi-
dence, R l., was represented by 700 Fremonters'
Worcester 800, Pawtucket 100, New Bedford 800,
Lawrence 500, and other large towns in equal
proportion. Over twenty bands of music were
in the procession. Many private dwellings on
the route of the procession were illuminated, and
general fusilade of fireworks, rockets, etc., light
ed up the city.

MEssRs. EDIToRs The Transcript of this
morning contains two statements which seem to
require our notice Our associates on the Re-
publican sub committee reside at too great dis
lance from Worcester to obtain their signatures,
although we know very well they would sign this
statementif present.
lst. The Transcript states that the Republi-
can sub-eommitte requested pledge of secresy as
to the proceedings of the conference. No
such pledge was ever asked, given, heard of, or
thought Of by ,or by our associates as far as we
know and believe
I'd The Transcript says, it was Immediately
answered by the Republican subcommittee, that
they could give no guaranty for the conduct of
the Spy, and they did not desire its assistance,
Mr. Hoar remarking that its support would kill
any ticket party, and Mr.. Wheeler remarking
that he had had the Spy in his house for a fort
night, and had never opened or read it, and did
not wish to.
Both these statements are wholly incorrect
No such remark was made by either of us at the
time above attributed. Mr.. Denny asked if the
Spy wonld support the ticket if union was form
ed : Mr.. Hoar replied: -" We are not authorized
to speak for the Spy, and can give no guaranty
as to its course" Mr.. Denny said 81 thought
l should like to know whether the Spy would sup
port it." Mr.. Hoar asked I" Do you make the
support of the Spy an indispensable condition to
forming an union?" Mr.. Denny said q No, 1
had rather the Spy would fight it, its support
would kill any party" Nothing except that we
have above stated was said about the Spy by eth.
er of us, or By any one else in our hearing.
In regard to the remark attributed to Mr..
Wheeler, it is utterly impossible that he could
have made it, because he isnot subscriber to the
Spy or any other Worcester daily paper, and had
not had it in his house for long time before the
interview. GEORGE f. HoAR,
