HOT SHOT FOR THE BOILERS.

to- the Mast
Notwithstanding the "seaturn" that a
few days since somewhat chilled the POI
itical atmosphere in this vicinity, tM
next President of the republic will be
James G. Blaine. Still, in one sense,
Massachusetts, is q doubtful State, it
being doubtful whether she will give
10000, 10000, or 10000 for Republican
principles and the Republican ticket in
November next.
THE FIRST SHOT STRIKES \ BOSTON
& "IDEE."
When men pirate about not wearing
about their necks @Republican collar,
hear them out, and say, Nobody wants
you to-" But when any one, called by
Whatever political name, attempts to
put the Democratic collar around the
nations neck, vote him down on the
spot. ~#
SPIKING THE ENEMY's MUD BATTERIES.
A man cannot live among his fellows
for generation and have his children
pass into mature years, while all his
ways are under constant watch, and
still retain the loyal affection of his To-
cal1ty, and he be a man. Put that down
as something settled. .a
CHEERING THE MEN WITH LITTLE GROG.
When learned college President ex-
postulated with a female crank for
wearing trousers, by saying cit was
utterly reprehensible and un1adylike
and unscrirtural to do So" the female
in male attire quietly remarked: "Well,
President, it is with me. trousers or
nothing" Mercy" said the good
President anything but that last .ex-
tremity. The bare possibility is re-
volting." The bare possibility of the
return of the Democratic party, the last
resort of the Independent, is too re-
Voting an alternative.
INTO THE BOILERS POWDER MAGAZINE.
When the Senate OF the United States
unanimously confirmed James Ct. Blaine
as Secretary of State did it stultify and
perjure itself by giving high - lce to
person of low and Objectionable public
morals? s."
A LITTLE MORE GRoG.
No matter how much bad boy sings
Il want to be an angel" it is wise to
put the jam on the top shelf and to
lock up the step ladder. That is our
receipt and treatment at all times for
Democratic misconduct and innate
cussedness.
JEERING AT THE DEMAND FOR SUR
RENDER. 'a &C..
Before we deliver Faneuil Hall over
to Tammany Hall; before we surren-
der Plymouth Rock and Bunker Hill
to solid South and political party
solid at any price for national domino
ton; before We place a Democratic
President to succeed Abraham Lincoln
and U. S. Grant, we require some
thing more convincing than the. hack
neyed phrase that political candidates,
like Caesars wife, must be above sus-
.picion.
THE ENEMY's fMAIN-MAsT GOES. L
This canvass will turn on the one
fact whether the party that has made
this Republic what it is shall now give
way to party the triumph of which at
any election i'll thirty years would have
been calamity of the first magnitude.
RUNNING UP A FREE-TRADE FLAG.
From Lexington Common and Con-
cord Bridge the rank and file of the
Republican army will once more clash
with the British forces that temporarily
occupy Boston in the interests of free
trade under the banner of independ-
ence; and there will be blows to give,
as well as blows to take, in the canvass.
HIT AT THE HOME GUARD.
Gen. John A. Logan will have the
vote of the loyal soldiers as no one but
Grant ever had it. The brave officer
who, in the face Of death, carried the
flag, will not be deserted by the "boys
in blue" because his grammar is not up
to the mark that meets the fastidious
taste of Mr.. Congressman Lyman.
THE FLAG OF THE OLD SHIP STILL THERE.
To the East, where among its pine
clad hills our standard-bearer lives; to
the West, with the hearts of It's people
as big as their own prairies, the West
that demanded the selection of our can
didate; to the North, whose countless
lives of toll are now trembling in the
waiting balance OF events; to the South,
with it's dusky millions pleading to AL
mighty God that the only national
friends they ever had may not be swept
from power-to one and all of the Re-
publican hosts we send greeting, that
the State holding beneath her sod the
ashes of Charles Sumner and Henry
Wilson and John A. Andrew will never
betray the cause of freedom and prog
ress, but will cast her fourteen electoral
votes, every one for James G.. Blaine,
of Maine, and John A Logan, of Hi
nois, for President and Vice President
Of this Nation.-Speecb before the
MiddleseG Club Of Boston. -a..,
The Political Pharisees.
The forthcoming struggle for the
Presidency between the two great
parties will be too serious to allow the
little discontented cliques in New York
and Massachusetts, who hang on to the
Republican party in calm weather and
desert it in the storms to masquerade
as Performers" OF Independents any
longer. Their only idea of reform is
not to make any change within the
party by aiding it,, but outside the
party by assaulting it. Provided some
man is named as candidate who is ac-
ceptable to them, they are ready to re-
form the party, if only they do not have
