Great Republican Meeting at
Valparaiso, Indiana.
Special Dispatch to The Ch, Gaz,
VALpARAIso, IND, Sept. IL. /.


Special Dispatch to the Gin, Gaz,
VALPARAISO, IND, Sept IL.
The largest political meeting ever
held in Northern Indiana was adj
dressed to-day in Valparaiso, by
Hon. Will CumbaclS, Republican
candidate for lieutenant Governor
of Indiana. Fully fifteen thousand
people were present. and were held
spell bound for two hours by the.
eloquence of the speaker and his
arguments for the Republican cause.
The magnificent voice and distinct
utterance, plainly heard by twenty
thousand people, the demonstra-
ton, and the speech of Mr.. Cum
back, secures to the Republicans
the county of Porter by a majority
of six hundred. The procession
was six miles long, containing
about GOO wagons and 300 ladies
and gentlemen on horseback. One
wagon contained so voters anoth-
er, beautifully decorated, contain
ed one hundred girls dressed in
white; another, ladies in white rep
resenting the States. P. V. Nasby
with his whisky and mule, was in
the procession also a threshing
machine covered with mottoes-no
taxation Of agricultural implements.
nor Government bonds--and 9th
ers theportrait ofSeymour address
ing his friends, consisting entirely
of Democrats Of the serpentine
persuasion, was carried in one wag-
on. In another the portrait of F.
p. Blair with the declaration issu-
ing from his mouth, his statement
made in 1861, 81 would rather sleep
with a niger than with Demo
crat," and many Others represent
ing the present condition of men
and parties. To sum it up, it was
the biggest meeting and best speech
ever held and heard in Porter
county.

Our neighbor of the Register
who assumes to speak tor his party
in this county, thinks it wonder.
ful crime that in some of the recon
structed States, as he says, they
have "giyen the choice of Presiden,
tial Electors to the State Legisla-
lures, already elected" Well, if
this has been done, who did itE 1t
was not the Republican Congress.
1t was done by the people of those
States themselves. But the Demo.
cratic party leadeas are opposed to
letting the people Of those States
regulate those things for themselves
unless they regulate them to suit
the views and interests of the Dem
ocratic party. But Democrats
should be the last men to complain
of this mode of choosing Presiden-
tial Electors; for South Carolina,
a State that always failed to give its
vote for anybody else than a Dem
ocratic candidate, always chose her
Electors by the State Legislature
Then it was all right. Now the ta-
bles are turned, the Legislature is
Republican, and the system, accord
ing to Democratic ideas, that they
regarded as right under Democratic
domination, is wrong when applied
by Republican majority

- We notice by Indiana papers
that Gen. Jasper Packard, the I'm
ion candidate for Congress, to fill
the place so long and so ably filled
by Hon. Schuyler Colfax, and his
Democratic competitor Judge NJ
X, Farrand, are making n lively
Joint canvass Of their District
They have appointments to make
33 Joint discussions. Judge Far
rand is a lawyer of some talent, but
is rather a clumsy speaker, and by
the side (or rather in the rear) of
General Packard, will make but a
slow race for Congress.
When that District was Demo
cratic, Judge Farand was a Wing,
but went over to the Democracy
for some cause, and it is a signif,
cant fact that ever since he smiled
upon the Democratic party, that
Congressional district has given
large Republican mJorities against
the Democracy; and the Judge will
wake up on the morning after the
election and find himself badly dis
tanced in the race for Congressional
honors.

THUNDER! THUNDER!
$4,000 Union Majority in Maine!


The glorious news came flashing
across the telegraph wires on Mon
day night that the elections in Maine
on that day had resulted in a largely
increased Union majority-a ina.
jority doubling that given by the
Union party in that State last year.
This is truly encouraging to the
Republicans for as Maine goes so
goes the Union. Our opponents
confidently expected to greatly re-
duce our majority there, If they did
not entirely blot it out and carry
the State. But the result is any.
thing but encouraging to Demo
cratic prospects for success at the
Presidential election. The New
York World said, few days since,
that if the State of Maine did not
give the Union candidate for Gov,
ernor more then 1000 majority
(the majority returned by the Un-
ion canvassers) the Democracy
would regard it as a Democratic
victory. They are welcome to just
such victories as they have got in
Maine, all over the Union. With
such victories, Seymour and Blair
will find it necessary to stay at
home and have plenty of time to
attend to their own private bust
ness, Rally, boys, Rally!
