While the Republicans Of Boston were re,0lo-

procession was paraiing the streets headed BY
drum corps Of one boy. and solitary tran'par-
ency, bearing on one side the names OF "sey-

"Young Democratic Club" Following these
were two dozen youthful torch bearers. hankei
on either side by q score or two OF barefooted
admirers. The demonstration was o fair repre-
sentation Of the hopes Of the Democratic party
growing. but not likely to amount to much
during the present generation.
The Democrats find consolation for their de-
feat In Maine by looking at the record Of the
vote Of two years ago. As their party Is one OF
apast age, II Is natural that they should indulge
in antiquarian studies and find pleasure there
In. Perhaps, in years to come, even the South
ern rebels will attempt to prove, by reference to
"Bull Rum" that they were rictors In the re-
cent war.
The Lancaster (Pa.) District has chosen o.

The Pittsburg Gasetis declares that there Is

there the people 90 thoroughly aroused and or
ganizcd to secure the triumph Of Republican
principles. It says the State may be set down
rs certain to give at least twenty thousand ma
iority for Hartrauft and Campbell in October,
and nearly double that number for Grant and
Colfax in November.
... The Democratic orators In Maine ar.
pcalcd to the lowest passion and mcanest in

their audiences.
-. Those who to-day predict that Grant
will never reach the White house. stoutly proph-
esed that he would never reach Richmond.
"BALpr" SNIrn's articles in the New York

These articles undertook to prove that Grant

Indiana votes In October. She Is ono vast
camp Of Republican enthusiasm. Every foot Of
her soil seems to reverberate with the steady
tramp, tramp of the Boys in Blue. Fifty thou
sand of them turned out at a mass meeting In
indianapolis, and mile Of Republican torch
lights can be seen In almost any county In the
State. Such enthusiasm has never been known
since the days Of "Tippecanoc." The Repub-
lcsns claim every Congressional district In the
State with but one exception. The copperhead
speakers travel about like night ghosts, and
squeak against the niger to sickly-looking
crowds. occasionally ringing In hat-full Of lies
about the finances. But the Hoosier State Is
doing masnisccnt work, and will scorch the
rebels with o glorious Republican majority in
October.
II Is amusing to sec how the "Democncy''
wiggle and squirm to ease themselves from the
force Of their fall. They refuse to compare this

Washington dispatch says that one Of the
editors Of Flakes Bulletin, Galvesto arrived
there Sunday, direct from Texas. His report Of
the condition Of affairs in that country Is most
unfsyoriblc to peace. The northern portion Of
the State is being ovcrrun with rebel despcra-
dooes who frequently attack and rob trains and
United States mails. The rebels do not hesitate
to proclaim openly their determination to drive
Union men from the State, and large numbers
arc already fleeing to Kansas and other locali'
ties to save their lives.
