Correspondence Of TIE .Eoeai,sg Star.1
Boston, Oct. 9o.-Probably there is no more
earnest democratic band In the country than
the OFT defeated divisions OF that organization
10 this state. can assert a fact when | write
that no where in the country was there more
confident band or democratic patriors-confi.
dent tnat everything was going .'right@-than
walked tneSe Boston streets up 10 that morning
OF the year OF our Lord when Indiana so fonfily
claimed, went glimmeTing adown the corridors
OF lost causes and provided food for reelection as
unpalatable as IL was unexpected. And nov thar
the smoke On the conflict is clearing away homes
are reviying and renewed confidence animafes
the bosom Of the Massachusetts, democracy thai
They can't do ft again talked with prom
inent democratic politician OF this city only yes
terday and felt his political pulse only 60 ind
the temperature OF his hopes In perfectly nor
NAL condition and hear from his venerable lips
the declaration that "0ur people are not In the
least discouraged and anticipate Just as sur
prisiDg result TO the radicals In the general
election as this preliminary sktrmiSh was 10
us This Is fair sample thoroughly be-
lfeve, OF the feeling or the Massachusetts, de-
mocracy. They expect 10 bring something
down the next time they shoot.
/ find that the undated confidence OF the
average democratic citizen Of the Old Bay State
is also based-outslde OF party impulses-upon
private reports received from PenpsyiGa-
MIA. That state IS not eliminated from the list
wherein surprises are possible. This sort or
feeling prevents the campaign In Massachusetts,
from losing interest.
REPUBLICAN HOPES.
The republicans also have some news as to the
result of the next contest 1t Is not necessary 10
repeat what they are. That point Is very well
understood. The management and predictions
OF Hon. John c. New, OF Indiana, regarding the
late event" In Hoosferdom, is a subject or no
little complimentary allusioD In the republican
camp herea bout. and the DO. S will rely on his
N hn Hon 1nl, AZ
here, some months previous to the Chicago con-
ventton, he firmly predicted Grants nomina-
ton. Therein the controlling element In this
vicinity counted the distinguished gentleman
as little off; but they vote him solid now, and
should he declare that Grant will be the repub-
ucan candidate In 1854, / assert that his views
will not be secuted out of consideration here In
the home OF the best anti-Grant republicans In
the land.
THE BOSTON DISTRICTS
The Congressional campaign In the two dis
trcts-t.e third and fourth-embracing this
City and portion of the outlying country, is
apt to wax very warm within the next ten
Gays. The four candidates in the field, MeSSrs.
ANel ID eal borne and Leopold Morse democrats,
respective In the third and fourth, and A. A.
Ranney and Francis B. Hayes, republicans, in
The same order, are all popular men and all
posse SIS barrelS-big harrelS-and the bung5 are
started So 1t cannot be otherwise than lively
At the present time consider it very probable
that Mr. Dearborne Will be sent to represent the
third district There is split In the democracy
IN the fourth, and this may peril the re election
OF Mi. Morse; but his friends do not admit II.

no news ID washington wnere the gentleman is
well known, owing TO his presence from Me-.
Hooper'S old district for the last two Congresses
So the condition OF the Congressional campaign
in Boston inspires much interest, and the re-
t;rns On that eyentful night now coming on
arace, viii be auxiousiy awaited
GRANTS VISIT
The Hotel Brunswick. In the back bay dis
trict, which had the distinguished honors ETC.,
during the recent visit OF Gen. Grant, Is now
yerii able banquet hall, deserted not OF guests
but OF grandeur. With the departure OF Grant
an air or deSolation set up It's reign. Gone are
OF all nations that. toated in honor of the occa-
sion. Horny handed men OF Athens have
Knocked away the platform IRON which the ex-
PRESIDENT reviewed political parade On the
hight OF his arrival, and everything else con-
nected with the circumstance Is gone excepting
the memories OF the occasion. and the fact that
the Mfddlesex club, the SWEETEST club you ever
knew. offered as few facilities to reporters to
emhalm their hospitality in history as they
possibly could, and for which the Boston news
paper men have 10 words OF praise to utter.
The Presidents stay in Boston was in all
respects an enjoyable one. There was no one
t.! too partisan to DO him honor Notwithstanding
well res ulated republican boom.
THE "sAFE" DEPOSIT.
"The Ladies' Deposit is the very latest and
grimmest sensation in this center of sensations.
How to describe this institution, or what to
speak OF it. has been for some time problem
beyond the depth OF average conundrumS; but
very vigorous probing OF its curiositieS by the
Boston AdterttSe1 developed the fact that "The
Ladies Deposit" was is, and has been for all
time fraud OF the very first magnitude and
has lived and thrived for years in this land OF
law and justice obtaining money from wary
women, until now the end has come, and Rachel
throughout the whole Of New England is weep
ing, not on account of lost children. but for lost
Visions or golden Spiendor, that vanished into
thin air when solid and Influential newspaper
gave the warning that VIII be a blessing to
hundreds. perhaps thousands OF other women
who were about to enrich the Golfers OF this
institution that nobody knows anything about.
Briefly writing, IL was concern pretending TO
pay-fn fact 1t did pay until run was maue-
eight per cent per month on deposits made by
poor unmarried women. To detail the circun-
stances Of this marvellous swindle would take
ID UGH more space than this letter could demand.
Suffice 1t TO say that here Is a so-called bank,
built on air, having the confidence of a multi
where women certainly are acknowledged to be
reasoning creatures. 1t gathers In thousands
upon thousands OF dollars, and upon the first
shed OF Light let full upon 1t there is a collapse
and wide spread restitution. / hear of two
maiden ladies In the south end who lost 81, 800
each, and Of one widow who borrowed $500
for the purpose Of doubling it In less than
year and Clearing exactly that amount. She
is now mourner. The offIc.alsof the bank or
all that could be found are in ilrance vile.
The proud edifice on East Brookline Street is a
temple dedicated to female woe. All Boston is
agog TO know who backed the SwIndle, IL Ii lcdS
backed, and to know how great the depth OF
misery Is that this ploughshare OF deception has
created.
