pirited. It vas fortunate, however,
this calm Gang when. it did, for the
renewed yea and enthusiasm now
visibly sprinIing up again all over
the country, for Greeley and Brown
will have no further material check,
but will sweep on to an assured and
triumphant victory. The dogslays
are over. The terrible heat prevents
ed all exertion. The local tickets
have generally been arranged, This
matter for thi time diverted attention
from the nat 8nal issues. The Blan-
ton Duncan Eonventioishas ended in
a ridiculous fosco, and been turned TO

Il temporary halt in the Democratic
march. But now, with the weather
endurable, tl1e decks cleared for ac-
ton and obst tcles removed, the cam
paign will le pushed forward with
energy and confidence.
The Radicals pretended to derive
comfort from the elections III North
Carolina and Vermont, just as they
will assume great things from the re-
suit of the d Aections to-day in Maine.
The fact isl however, that the only
Importance attaching to these elec-
tions has come from the unparalleled
efforts of the administration to hold
its own, and: from the attention that
has thereby been directed thither. 1t
is now proved, and scarcely denied,

Carolina by system of most gigantic
importationA from states holding no
elections at 1hat time, and there are
few Radicaldbold enough to declare
that there is any change of the State
going for Gl mt in November. AS for
Vermont ant Maine, both have always
been counteA on the Grant side of the
column, the E,nly New England states
reckoned fo4 Greeley being Connecti-
cut and New Hampshire, which he
will surely carry The average Repub-
lican majority in Maine for the last
half-dozen state elections has been
$1,000, and in 1868, when both sides
did their best, the majority was 20,
403. To carry the state for the Dem
ocratic tickst this year against such
odds, backe by the whole power of
the admins grafton, wonld be a hercu-
lean undertaking, and no reasonable
man looks for such an impossibility.
IE all the state elections previous
to November, it happens that the OPP
position tickets have been made up
previous to the real organization of

as is the case in Illinois and Missouri,
and several other states where the

PENNSYLVANIA and Indiana where
most interest will centre in connection
with the presidential contest. If
these states go for Greeley, the

election, as they have always exerted
a tremendous influence i'll presidential
years upok the vote of November
throughout the country. Our advices
from Indiaka are most cheering. Ex-
Senator Hendricks, the Democratic
candidate for governor, is making a
most brilliant and untiring canvass,
as it is with him struggle for politi-
cal life. a'he meetings everywhere
are larger shan were ever known be-
fore, and the Democracy, united and
Jealous, are thoroughly alive to the
work expected of them. They know
the efforts of the opposition will be
strong and formidable. Heretofore the
state has Been Democratic by q small
majority; but the addition of the Lib
eral Republican strength, headed by
Julian and others, together with the
confidence this alliance gives, and its
effect upon the floating vote makes it
sure for a majority of at least ten thou

twenty tIf fusand. But whatever may

The conttA 1t for Governor, as our read

Philadelphia Press, {Forney's paper)
that reached us yesterday contains
two ringing articles arraigning Hart
ranft for gambling operations
with the states money, and for GRIM

upon Cameron & Co. has been reeeiv

twelve OF fourteen Republican papers
which support Grant declare they can
not and Mill not support Hartrantt,

Of Buckalew at the head of their col
