Republican Ratification Meeting In
Boston.

Boston, July 16th.-The first Republican
ratification meeting of the campaign was
held last night, in fremont Temple. Long
before the hour of meeting the hall was
crowded and overfowed. The meeting was
| held in the basement, and many were
| turned away unable to gain entrance. The
platforms were occupied by leading Repub-
licans from various sections of the State.
| NEW YORK, July 16th.-A Tribune Boston
special of the 18th says The Republican
ratification meeting tonight was most
| gratifying success, in fact a surprise. Long
| before the meeting was called to order Ire
mont Temple was filled from the ground
| floor to the rafters. The enthusiasm was
unbounded. Nearly half an hour before
| the meeting was called to order the smaller
| hall in the basement of the building was
| filled and a second meeting was held there.
Hundreds of people went away half an
hour before the speaking began, because
| there was not even standing room around
the large temple.
The New York Ratification Meeting.
New York, July 16th.-The Tribune says
The enthusiasm for Blaine in this city, as
| shown by the immense meeting last night,
ceptional There exists all over the cOun-
try, as indicated by many dispatches in the
| Tribune this morning, the most earnest de-
termination to elect the Republican candi-
| dates by such a majority that none can
| doubt what the wishes of the voters are.
| Early as it is in the canvass, the number OF
| Blaine and Logan Clubs which have
| been formed are extraordinary large, and
| the list is increasing rapidly.
The Times admits that the meeting last
night was successful in point of numbers,
| and that there was degree of interest ex-
| hibited, but the proceedings were conducted
on the supposition that this is an ordinary
political campaign, in which the usual
questions are involved. That which is
really occupying the minds of the people
as supreme issue isvery generally ignored.
| The character of the nominations is really
that on which the election is to turn. Ii
there is to be no defense of the Republican
candidate against charges brought against
his character it will be practically an adj
mission that it cannot be undertaken.
The Herald says: The Republicans of
! this city turned out i'll muldtudes last
| night to attend a meeting. Among the
| features of the display were 100 Plumed
Knights" who took front seats amid great
applause. They wore helmets with feathers,
and carried battle-axes.

New YORK, July 16th.-The following
circular has been issued from the head
quarters of the Republican National Com
mittee
| DEAR SIR: The pending Presidential cam
| paign is of unusual Importance to the country
| Every Republican is deeply interested IN It's re

| Republican party desires to make it justly Wig

November. Funds are required, however, to

Republican National Committee, 242 Fifth ave-
| nue.. New York City, such sum as you may de

A Recruit to the Republicans.
PHILADELPHIA, July 16th.-The Press
Washington special says: Hon. Thomas
H. Murch, who represented the Fifth Dis
trict of Maine in the Forty-seventh Con-
gress, has left here for PittsbJrg to consult
with Chairman Jones, of the National Re
publican Committee, as TO his visit to the
| Pacific coast, where Murch goes to work in
| the campaign. He will stump the Pacific
States in the interest of Blaine and Logan.
! Murch is a representative labor reformer.
He has been identified with the labor
movement for years, and was elected to
Congress a Greenbacl-L Reformer.
His sympathies have heretofore been with
the Democratic party, but the nomination
of Cleveland has caused him TO cut adrift
from that party.
| The "Times" Course.
New YORK, July 16th.-The Sun says
The public should read upwards the ticket
| of Cleveland and Hendricks. 1t also says
The Times hitherto the leading journal OF
| the Republican party, has now become the
| advocate of Cleveland and Hendricks. In
| 1876 it was the Times which first propounded
to the astonished world the assertion that
Tilden was not elected and that the re-
ports of his election were untrue, thus OPEN
ing up that revolving drama of fraud which
| finally eliminated in the election of Hayes.
The Times was the initiatOr of that con-
| spiracy and its chosen mouthpiece. 1t
started with it at the beginning, and it re-
NAMED with it a devoted apologist to the
end. Well, the Times has now gone over
| to Cleveland and Hendricks, and if they
should be elected and the same sort of con-
| spiracy be set up to defraud the people of
their choice, the Times, knowing how it all
| is contrived and executed, will be able to
resist it, to expose it, and perhaps to defeat
it. This is reason for encouragement, and
we congratulate our contemporary. Let us
| only hope the Times will be as earnest and
successful in its labor in the cause of hon
esty in 1SS4-S5 as it was in the cause of
| fraud in 1867.
Butler Will Run.

House in this city, expressed to-day the
most absolute certainty that Butler would

probably the laboring men.
Massachusetts Independents,
| BosToN, July 16th.-The Independents
here have chosen 80 delegates to the Ma
