IN PROGRESS.
From The Springfield ReDabIiear IND }

The general tact is that Gen. Grant is re-
elected 6y about the same majority, both OF the popular
and electoral vote that he had In 1863 But the clements
of his vote have considerably changedhe has lost many
OF the best of the Republicans has gained many OF
the worst OF the Democrats, and he owes hs new term
az has long been predicted in these columns he would
owe it, to that part OF the Democratic party which, In
its dissolution and Generalization has drfted TO it's
afnites OF power and maerialism In his hdminlstra-
tOn, and following. Enough Republicans, twice over,
lett Gen Grant defeat him, with the aid OF the Demo
cratic party: but the Democratic leaders could not
deliver their followers to the and strange doctrines
and the new strange candidates Of Cincinnati and
Baltimore. Many Of the latter recognized Grant as "a
man and a brother" rather than Greeley.
Our readers cannot be surprised at the result have
they kept ignorant of the influences that have pro
duced IT, or OF the elements, moral and MATERIAL that
this triumph Of Gen. Grant, and nomiDay Of the Re-
publican party represents. 1t marks stage in the pO

THE FIRE BREAKS OUT AFREsH.
Gas Explosions the Cause.


Boston, Nov. 11-Ths fire broke out
with renewed vigor at about midnight in
almost the same spot where It first origina-
ted. It was caused by the explosions OF
gas in the buildings occupied by William
L Starnes Il Co., in Summer Street. The
front walls of the building were blown into
the street and set fire to a store which ex
tended back into Central Court. Owing to
the frequent gas explosion the tiremen were
for some minutes deferred going too close
proximity to the burning building, bat de-
spite danger firemen soon had streams play
ing on the burning buildings. From
Starnes' establishment the flames rapidly
communicated to an extensive building on
the corner of Summer and Washington
streets, occupied on the ground floor by
Shrine, Crump & Low, jewellers and deal
ers in elegant gas fixtures, the upper stories
we're occupied by Wheeler & Wilson's sew
ing machine wareroOms,as Lowell & Brett,
engravers, and by two or three custom tall
Ors. Efforts to stay the progress OF the
flames were unavailable, and in less than
half an hour a MAGNIFICENT block on the
corner of Washington and Summer streets
was doomed. The flames leaped from win
dows and curled themselves about the
cornices. Soon the vast pile was i'll
shroud of flames. One gas explosion fol-
lowed another in rapid succession. Several
soldiers and fremen were Frustrated and
several severely injured. A woman named
Martha E. Hutchinson jumped from the
second story to the pavement and was Sc
riously injured and her recovery is consid-
cred doubtful.
The special train from Manchester, n.
H., which arrived in the city at S O'Clock,
brought two steam engines from the Amos
kesg Works and a hose carriage, with men
enough to run all three. One steamer is a
solf-propeller and worked very handily.
The men were fresh and went to work with
great zeal. 1t was fortunate at this critical
juncture that the steamers were on hand,
for the water force at the hydrant was very
small, hardly enough to force stream to
the second storyiwindows.
Among the arrivals was an engine COM
pany Of IS men from Biddeford, Me. The
range Of three story buildings lately occu-
pied by Jordan & Marsh, but within few
days taken possession of by Crosby SMorse,
who were TO threw the whole into grand
store in connection with Washington street
establishment, took fire and was very soon
In flames. Down Summer street flames
crept along steadily, and at 2 o'clock only
one building remained between the IRE ana
CT. Hovey & Co.'S building. Back OF
their premises Is situated Parks hotel,
which DOW seemed doomed not only to its
own destruction but threatens TO
be the means Of communicating
fire to Jordan 81 Marshes retail building, and
all Avon street property. Had the proper
authorities shut of the gas from the whole
burned district early Sunday morning the

been avoided. The property along the line

destroyed, or was 10 imminent danger.
would have bseu saved had not the exDlo-
sion given the flames fresh announcement.

BosToN, Nov. 1.-THE fire is now be-
lieye to be under good control, and unless.
a very strong wind should spring up no
more fresh fires are apprehended.

between SuElmer and Avon streets
A fireman has juss fallen OF Tie
top Of a building On Summer street.. The
gas only shut of from portion Of the city.
Perfect order was maintained inthe streets.
There were three explosions Of gas at $50.
The people have begun to be relieved from
the terrible excitement OF uncertainty
regarding the spread Of the fire.
