PROGRESS OF -ELECTIONS.

John M. Palmer, the Republican candidate for
Governor of Illin is, has a good reputation as a
soldier and as an officer of ability ; and John
Doherty, who aspire 3 to be Lieutenant-Governor,
though known before the war as the Democratic
" war-horse of Egypt," is now in the Repullican
tanks. John A. Logan is Republican candidate
for Congressman at large. Norman B. Judd,
the friend of Lincoln, and once Minister
to Berlin, hopes for re-election for the first dis-
trict. General John F. Farnsworth is the calif
dilate for the second district. He left the
House of Representatives when the war broke out,
and raised and commanded the Bth Illinois Cavalry.
Elihu B. Washburne, of Galena, Grant's home,
goes in for the tithe' district. his friendship for
his neighbour, the coming President, is well known.
General John B. Hawley runs for the fourth dis-
trict ; for the fifth the present incumbent, E. C.
Ingersoll, expects to be re-elected, as he has been
thrice before; and so does Benton C. Cooke, of
Ottawa, for the sixth district, where he has twice
been successful. The Republican candidate for the
seventh district is Jesse H. Moore, of Decatur,
who rose from the ranks to the grade of General
during the War. Shelby H. Cullom, of Spring-
field, contests the Eighth District for the third
time. He was speaker of the State Assembly, and
is an energetic party man.. Leopard F. Ross con-
tests the Ninth District, with his brother Lewis
Ross, the present member, and the Democratic
candidate, but with little hope of success. Jona-
than B. Turner, of Jacksonville, a scientific farmer,
runs against A. G. Burr, the Democratic candidate
and present member, but without a shadow of a
chance. For the Eleventh District James M.
Martin, of . Salem, strives against Mr. Mar-
shall, the Democratic nominee, and present
member, who is pretty sure of re-election. John
B. Hay, of Belleville, is the nominee for the
Illinois,

for their districts ; three of the 13 are considered
by the Deniocrats as certainly theirs, and are con-
ceded by the Republicans. But the State will, be-
yond doubt, go strongly Republican, the more so
as it is Grant's own State. Although the Democrats
have not the faintest hope of carrying the State, they

do hope toleAsen thefor-mer Republican majority. In
1864 Lincoln's majority was 30,766 ; in 1866 Gen.
Logan waselectedCongressman at large by a ma-

jori-ty of 55,987, defeat:lnc, Colonel Dickey that
number in a total vote of 350,103. Although the
Republicans are sanguine, estimating their majo-
rity at from 40,000 to 50,000, it is not likely to

am-omit to zilch a number as in the election of 1866

Last year lowa elected the Republican candidate,
Colonel Merrill, Governor, by 30,000 majority. In
ber Presidential elections she gave 8,000 of a
majority for Fremont in 1856, and 40,000 for
Lincoln,
win 1864. General Williamson, the dele-
gate who cast the vote of lowa at the Chi-
cago Convention, for General Grant promised
a majority of 50,000, which, although then con-
sidered extravagant, is now said, by sanguine Re-
publicans not to be so. The question of impartial
suffrage comes before the people this year for
settlement. The last two General Assemblies hav-
ing affirmatively pissed upon the subject, the matter
will now, be decided by a popular vote upon an
amendmeht to the Constitution proposing to strike
the word " white" therefrom wherever it occurs in

relation to suffrage, and will unquestionably be
carried. The election will not be held till Nov. 3,
and it is thought that there will be 200,000 votes
polled for the presidential tickets. The Republicans
count on gaining Michigan, which last year was
divided on local and side issues, and they announce
that harmony bas been restored, and the vote will
be heavy for Grant, Senator Doolittle has been
working effectively in the Democratic interest in

Wiscon-sin. In Delaware the campaign is active,
and the Republicans even flatter themselves that
there is a prospect of electing General Torbet to
Congress. They state that the Democrats are
divided between the Bayard and the Salisbury par-
ties, and that if they split the State may be carried
for Grant. Colorado has elected a Republican de-
legate to Congress by a majority of 100, which
would have been greater but for the fight caused
by the Indian raids. In New York city the elec-
tion districts have been increased to 340, so that
there will be no lack of opportunity to vote. It is
estimated that the city will throw about 130,000
votes. Of these the Republicans claim 45,000, giv-
ing the Democrats a majority of 40,000. The
Democrats estimate the Republican vote at less than
25,000, and expect a majority of 75,000 or more.
In North Carolina many white Republicans are at
work for Grant and Colfax, which is believed to be
due more to a revival of the ancient enmity between
old Whigs and Democrats than to any love of the
Republican platform. The State, it is thought,
may go Republican. Even Connecticut is said
now to be inclining towards Republicanism. Town-
ship elections were to be held on the sth inst., but
as these come off beforethe great events on the 13th
they will probably not clearly indicate what the
State will do when the main contest is decided.
The Massachusetts Republicans have nominated
for members of Congress, Messrs. Dawes, Twichell,
Butler, and Banks, in the tenth, third, fifth, and
sixth districts respectively, and all will probably
be re-elected. The candidate for Presidential
elector in the tenth district is M. B. Whitney, of
Westfield; in the third, William Whiting, of
Boston ; in the fifth, James M. Buffum, of Lynn ;
and in the sixth, George Coggswell, of Bradford..
The Irishmen of the fifth Congressional district of
New York City have brought forward George
Francis Train as their representative to run against
John Morrissey. Patrick Crowe being elected chair-
man, addressed the meeting at the Botanic Hall,
No. 68, East Broadway, and said, "It was an au-
spicious day for the country to put forward such a
man as Train, under whose lead the Irish would
soon be freed from the hated English rule." Gen.
Nagle, on entering, was loudly cheered. He said
he would be ungrateful not to support his old friend
Train, through whose influence he had been libe-
rated from an Irish Prison. Train was ahead
of the times and of all politicians. It was he who
conceived the idea of the Pacific Railway ; it was he
who invented the greenback theory which politicians
had stolen from him. He is the same man at six
in the morning and at midnight, and I hope to see
this meeting put through his nomination. Senator
Bradley endeavoured to oppose Train's nomination,
but failed to obtain a hearing. Resolutions were
adopted advocating the nomination of George F.
Train as a friend of the people, as opposed to taxa-
tion, as an adherent of the Irish nation, as inte-
rested in the great Pacific Railroad. A letter was
received from Stephen J. Meany, indorsing the
nomination of Mr. Train. It was moved and car-
ried that a Train Club be formed and a roll opened.
The Soldiers and Sailors' Convention in Philadel-
phia, on Friday, Oct. 2, was one of the grandest
affairs ever seen even in that great city. Fully
20,000 soldiers marched in a column five miles long
with martial music, beneath flags riddled in battle.
Chesnut, Walnut, Arch, Broad, and Market streets
were lined with myriads. Burnside, Kilpatrick,
Owen, ;Geary, Sickles, Hawley, Howard, Cham-
berlain, and many more well-known officers were
there. There were meetings of governors and ex-
governors ;
.banquet at the Union League ; torch-
light processions, serenades, and as for speeches !
there never were such speeches. Altogether the
affair was a great success.
