DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH u tId9e Josiah
Abbott. at the great ratification meeting in
Faneuil Hall few days ago, gave a glimpse
at the Dem oeratic and Conservative strength
of the country as follows:
"But, as far as l am concerned. see no
i'll omen in these elections. Take the cleo
ton in our ne:ghboring State of Maine
We. have ffty-one thousand Democratic
votes-a larger number than have been
thrown, for years past. You q have there
votes enough TO carry the elections three
years out of four. Look at PENNSYLVANIA.
Why, that election is so close thatjno man
can tell whether the larger number of the
three millions of people are on ore side or
thefother.' You have the grand Old En-
pire State of New York and the State Of
New Jersy on your side. But look at the
means by which. these elections have been
carried for the Administrator. In Maine
you have fifty-one thousand, in Pennsylva
mia you have quarter of million Of good
and true voters. You have driven from
the party all men of weak and trembling
knees. We have none of those men left,
and there is not man 10 Maine, who vo-
ted the Democratic licket-nor in PeunsyI-
vania-that is not minute m:n, ready at
all times to be called upon. GApphuse7
Look at the means used on the other side
Why, shoddy contractors, iutimidations,
receptions, and greenbacks, all used-Tap-
plause and then we are told that it IS of
Infinitely more importrnre to beat the Dem
ocrats than to win three such victories as

The melancholy Song of the Shirt
finds daily exemplifcation in New York.
The sewing girls are attempting to better
their condition by striking, but it is the
struggle of the very weak against the very

where she worked is 60 1 cents per doz-
en-, "and," said she, unless 1 simply base
them up, [ cannot make more than four
per day" Only fancy very poor young
