 NEW BosToS, Tombstone NJ. D June 26.-l am going 10 write you a inning letter, if I can get to it. hut cannot resist giving politics the flst attention. It seems now to be pretty clearly settled that Hancock will be elected, because, you see, Tomb-tone IS pledged to go for him. Last night a grand ratification meeting was held. The unierrifed, unwashed Yazootees, long-horned old guards, long-sufTering and all other styles and classes of Democrats, drank together, and the Juioeries were busy. They had ben lire on the corner and anvils for can non. lAftcr election io burn rag will be sCificienl) W,n, you know, this Is the way they always do-spend all their money on pyrotechnics, brass bands and soda water. and then the Republicans take them ID. l rather liked the meeting and the speakers, but was not pleased with one feature, VIZ: We have had the exclusive en- joymcnt and benefit of the |" bloody shirt for the past sixteen years we invented, originated, initiated, and patented it. We introduced it upon the stage, advertised i,, and made il popular. till il has become like mann factured ice (Fahrenhcit l3O degrces). Everybody wants if, and now the Democrats come in and steal II and hoist it above the Democratic flag, with Hancock, the fighting General, inscribed upon il. And this the Ya- zorites, Ku-klux, White-Leaguers, long-hurns, ana all that remains of the original fire caters have got to split their throats hurrahing for.
 Local candidates still receive atten ,ion from the political takers. 1 re- ferrcd to Webster Street, Esq, in enc of my last letters, as a man wh0 had very many good cit zens urging hIm for Legislative hono-s; but the types got il Slade," or some other such name
 We are proposing, wi;h our Go00 population on this end of the county, 10 have our full representation. AS politics get warm we begin to count where our votes will come from, and what mines will support what ticket. The Fizz Out min5 is divided. My pard is on the Cincinnati side of the question. and 1 go for Chicago. shall propose to him to compromise by hay- ing the bloody shIrt in the middle and rhe Democratic flag on one end and the Republican flag on the other. Pol i,ics do divI6e mp things.
 The town or Tombstone is on reg ular boom. No place in the West is growing like it. Gne mines having become a fixed fact, and everybody now knowing that Tomb>tohe is the greatest mining camp in America, everybody is now coming here. In a short time the number Of great bonan- "a mines will be increased 10 snch au extent, that the world will quo'e f.om the Queen of Sheba snd say that Tombstone is twice as big a thing a; !t was even told to be-" I don't know whether have got Sheba's quotation exactly right, but It was words to th-t effect.
 Little matters. like shooting man or two. free fights, and small-fry affair; generally, do mol mention. IL ]: mines look after and politics.
