A Pennsylvania Waldobore

We are reminded of the Democratic gratifi-
cation at the redemption" Of Waldoboro, in
this State, by the following item from the New
York Tribune:
The World was yesterday made happy by ad
vices that Pike County, Penn, had gone
strongly Democratic. That County never,
within our memory, gave less than three to
one for any ticket labeled Democratic, and has
usually gone much higher. They used TO burn
the buildings Of Republican voters during the
War for the Union in some parts of that dark
County. Three Loco-Focos and three Jugs OF
whiskey 70 each spelling book used to be the
proportion in that County, an l it has not vet
been materially changed. 1t must be hard
shedding with the sham Democracy when thew
have to shout over a victory in Pike. How
cheerful they must be over the returns from

AN OMEN.-The Democratic flag staff raised
some few years since, at the corner of Con-

yesterday morning directly across the horse
railroad track, just after car had passed
along. A lady was also passing on the side
walk at the time, and had got but a few PAGES
beyond when it fell.
: Its fall was caused by a rotten foundation,
probably the same that has caused the nom
success of the party that it represents.

eouragement. A Washington dispatch says
the few radical southerners now in that city
who dislike General Grant, held a meeting
Tuesday evening and after some talk decided
in favor of Mr.. Wade for the next President
and Senator Wilson for Vice-President
Some of them subsequently, called on Mr.
Wade and Wilson. They say that they receiv-
cd them very cordially, but gave them no en-

so far as he was concerned he stood where the
Republican party Of his own State had placed
him on the platform with General Grant.

Making total of 1045 miles from Portland

The people of Bristol, New Hampshire, and
on the line in that State, propose to shorten
somewhat the distance across New Hampshire.
But allowing there is chance to cut off some
of the angles, there is no chance of reducing
the distance much if any below 1000 miles
from Chicago to Portland.
The exact or mathematical distance from
Portland to Chicago is 81 miles. Portland is
situated in latitude As deg. 80 m. and in longi-
tude 20 deg. 15m., Chicago in latitude Al deg. 50
