Progress of the Campaign.

THREE REPUBLICAN MEETINGS ON SATURDAY EVEN
ING-FURTHER ENCOURAGING REPORTS.
Republican meetings were held on Saturday
evening at Newark Stanton and Riddles Banks,
from all of which the most gratifying inteli-
gence of favorable Indications has been brought
in. The contentment of the people with the
knowledge of State National affairs as doled out
by Democratic stump orators no longer seems to
satisfy the Democrats, as in past years, and they
are turning out in strong force to all the Repub-
lcan meetings which are held in the nearest
districts This is regarded as favorable augury
and even If it should not accomplish a change in
sentiment will yet enable Democrats to
learn the fairness with which Republicans view
things, and relieve them Of mnch Of the preiu-
dice which has been begotten of the past.
THE MEETING AT NEWARK
was largely attended, more 30 than any previous
one yet held there in this campaign. d. ]. Muir
phey presided. Addresses were made by II. @.
Conrad aud Anthony Higgins, who spoke at con.
siderable length on State affairs, TO the discus.
sion of which all present listened with deep in.
terest. There was large attendance of Demo-
Gratis, who were orderly and well-behaved and
remained to the close of the meeting, which
