The campaign is getting warm IN all
parts Of the North and West, especially IN
Maine, Indiana and Ohio. We give this
morning. as usual, accounts Of the progress
of the campaign, and all must admit that
they are v~y encouraging to the Hancock
cause. These, taken 10 connection with
the large number Of Republicans who are
coming out for the Democra.ic nominees,
a long list Of whom we also publish this
morning, indicate tia, vast revolution in
public sentiment is going on. Since the
nomination of our ticket the movement
has been going steadily forward, and
steadily increasing. There has been no
wavering in theline The ticket solidihed
