MASSACHUSETTS SPEAKS.

AS Boston has been represented,
and doubtless is, the storm center of
opposition to the republican nomi-
nees, the ratification meeting of July
was looked forward to with consider
able interest. The meeting was held
at fremont Temple which was filled
to over-fowing, and hundreds went
away not being able to gain admit
lance, an overflow meeting being
held at that. Among the noted men
who were present and addressed the
meeting were Gov. Robinson, Sena-
tors Hoar and Dawes, Chairman
Lodge, Messrs. Grape, Long, Rice,
Beard, Marden, Cove and others,
all representative men and leading
spirits in the party. 1t does not look
as though the ''revolt" in Massachu-
sets was formidable. The following
is what the Journal has to say about
the meeting:
1t was not until Friday morning that
the date of the republican ratification
meeting was announced in the papers.
1t was not advertised until Monday af-
| ternoon and the usual posters were not
| put out until Tuesday morning. Never
| thelesS, in spite of this short and imper-
feet notice, fremont Temple was crowd
ed with people half an hour before the
time set for the opening of the meeting,
and fifteen minutes before eight O'Clock
the lower hall was full. Thereafter hun
/ dreds went away-enough to have filed
another large hall. The only ratification
meeting in this city for years that can be
compared with that of last night was that
last fall to ratify the nomination of Gov
ernor Robinson. There were three times
as many people present as there were at
the Garfield ratification meeting in 1880.
In point of genuine enthusiasm, no re-
| publican meeting held in this city for
years has equaled that of last night 1t
broke out when Governor Robinson APP
peared with Chairman Lodge at the open
ing of the meeting, and it did not lag I'M
til a quarter after eleven O'Clock, when
the last speech was made. The entire
audience took in every sentence of the
three hours speaking, and greeted every
good point with demonstrations of hearty
approval. The name of Blaine was greet
ed time and again with storms of APP
| plause, which reminded those who at
tended the Chicago convention of the
demonstrations in that great assembly.
The speeches were of high order and
several of them were efforts of the great
est merit. H II 5iH
The first meeting of the campaign was
in every sense magnificent success.
More than that it was gratifying sur
prise, particularly to those who have been
led to believe thai the ticket is not popu.
lar with the republican masses. 1t was
an suspicious opening of the campaign
1t goes to show that with the usual effort
on the part of the republican masses
Massachusetts can be the banner repub
lican state in the campaign of 1884.

Col. Casey, in charge of the Wash
ington Monument, is disappointed at
the failure of the contractor to deliv-
er stone for the final layers, but has
made arrangements by which he
hopes to finish the monument this
year. 1t has now reached 1872 feet,
and only eighteen feet more are to be
added to complete it, The engineer
officers now think that by placing an
extra force of men at work, and by
working at night with the aid of cleo
trio lamps, the work will be pushed
SO that everything can be under cover
by the time snow flies. In that event
the Washington Monument will be
practically completed this year, and
will be a pronounced success. There
is no doubt as to the security of the
foundation, about which there was so
much talk few years ago. AS the
construction Of the shaft progressed
the most minute and careful scientific
watch of its stability was kept, with
most satisfactory results. When it
Is remembered that the total weight
which was added to the old portion
of the monument was 81, 900 tons and
that but $50 tons of that remain to
be added, there cannot be the slight
est doubt of his stability. .

GENERAL LOGAN.

In his admirable and unanswera-
BILE argument at the great ratification
meeting at fremont Temple on the
evening of July 10, Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts, paid the following
tribute to Senator John A. Logan,
candidate for vice president:
For fifteen years have had abundant
opportunity of knowing. Gen. Logan's
opinions and character have been con-
slant growth from the time he entered
public life as democratic representative
from Egypt thirty years ago. have not
explored, but have no doubt if you were
to look back among forgotten records
you would find many opinions that he ex-
pressed and many votes that he gave with
which you and should have little SYM
pathy. But what of that? He was born
again in the day of the great regeneration.
He went through that baptism of fire and
blood, and ever since has been true as
steel on every question of patriotism
and freedom. He is the type and repre-
sentative OF the American volunteer sol
der. He entered the war private. He
came out the highest in rank and the
most famous of all the lnen who enlisted
from civil life. Ever since the people OF
his great state have kept him in public
service in house and senate, until the
other day she presented him at Chicago
as her candidate for the highest office.
If anybody questions Gen. Logan's civil
capacity / should like to have him try his
hand at encountering him In debate.
There is one act in Gen. Logan's histo-
ry, which, if there were no other, would
entitle him to the very highest place in
our admiration and reverence. You re-
member when Sherman started for the
sea. Hood, with large rebel army, was
in his rear. George III. Thomas, the rock
of Chicamauga, commanding the army of
the Cumberland, was ordered to attack
The prudent general delayed and delayed,
until the authorities at Washington got
out of all patience and ordered Logan to
repair to Thomas headquarters and SUI
persede him in his command. Logan,
when he came to the scene of action and
examined Thomas dispositions, found
that the great Fabius was right and wise.
You know the intensity of passion for
military glory. Gen. Logan could have
| carried out his orders, taken advantage
of Thomas dispositions, and won him.
self one of the most brilliant victories of
the war, which would have had double
lustre from the seeming lukewarmness Of
his predecessor. But his generous ma
| ture disdained the injustice. He post
| poned the execution of his orders, and
| left Thomas in his command The re-
suit was the battle of Nashville, and the
humiliation of Hood. Where in military
story will you find brighter page than
that? That one act of magnanimous self
denial gave to American history two of
| its brightest nameS-the name of Thomas
and the name of Logan.

LONDON, July 16. The celebrity
chosen by Mr.. Labouchere for dissec-
ton in the current number of Truth is
Mr.. Dwight L. Moody, the American
Evangelist, who is now on the ocean
on his way to New York. Mr.. Moo
dy's career is briefly sketched from
the time when he was clerk in a
Chicago furniture store and the ener-
getic superintendent Of Sunday
School in an unused railroad depot
in what was then almost bowling
waste on the west side of the Chicago
river, to the present moment, when
he is one of the most famous and
effective pulpit orators in the world.
The article is, on the whole, lauda-
tory, and in summing up Mr.. Moody's
qualities and attainments the writer
finds that he has displayed prodig-
ious amount of shrewdness and de-
! gree of common sense almost amount
ing to genius. The article concludes
with the declaration that if you were
| to combine the entire bench of bish-
ops with the whole Wesleyan confer
ence, and then throw in the Baptist
and Congregational Unions as make
weights, the entire body of theologians
and pulpiters would be found to
possess between them less practical
wisdom than this plain, unlettered
American preacher. Haaa

THE CONGRESSIONAL CAN
VASS.

The primary meetings for the cleo
ton of delegates to attend the DIS
trict convention were held in all the
towns last Thursday, and reports
have been received from large num-
Der of them. The entire delegation
in Orleans county is for Gen. Grout,
40 votes; Caledonia county is solid
for Gen. Grout, except Danville and
one vote in Groton, 5 votes, making
A votes; Essex county is also solid
for Grout, 10 votes, making in the
three northern counties 112 votes.
He has 80 in Orange county, 10 in
Windsor county, s in Washington
county and (estimated) in Wind
ham county, making 175 or within
16 of majority.
w. P. Dillingham; has, according
to the Journals estimate, 90, but
Grout claims at least eight of these,
reducing his number to 81.
Col. George w. Hooker of Brat
tleboro has 62 delegates out of 6S in
Windham county and has the Ches-
ter, Hartland, Weathersfeld, Royal
ton and part of the Rochester delega-
tions, a total of 80 delegates. Wind
ham county, however, may throw a
solid vote for Hooker on the first
ballot.
Hon. Warren c. French Of Wood
stock has ten delegates and Hon. JUS
tus Dart of Springfield seven, so far
as heard from. The remaining towns
to hear from are in Orange and Wind
sor counties, and have twenty two
delegates. 1t is not improbable that
Gen. Grout will get the greater por-
ton of these, in which event he will
come very close to nomination.
The supporters of Gen. Grout will
now predict his nomination on the
| first ballot. EX-Gov. Horace Fair
banks heads the Grout delegation
from St. Johnsbury, and ex-Gov.
Roswell Farnham is Grout delegate
from Bradford.
From the latest reports received
here, it is certain that his vote on the
first ballot will run from 1S5 to 1875.
1t will require 1910 votes if the conven-
ton is fully represented to make 8
nomination. Considering all things
the result has been most satisfactory

Goshen, Texas, July 4, 1884.
MIR. EDITOR,-Is not the celebration of
this day by people who carry forfeited
pardons for treason farce too ludicrous
to think of?
Should not the south, glorying in her
treason, murders and peruries pay the
entire cost Of the war Of the rebellion,
with addition enough to pay the pensions
of all who fought to defend the Union?
Is it not probable that this will be the
last canvass for a United States presi-.

have surrendered the lives, fortunes and
sacred honors of the loyal people of the
south to rebel copperheads, making a
military despotism an absolute necessity?

as compared with an increase of
SAG, 043, 219- during the preceding

that New York's real estate is now
worth at least $40, 1000, 900 more than
it was year ago. The Mail and
