The campaign in Michigan Is closing With
cheering indications ofa great victory. Re-
ports from all the counties Of the State 1u-
dictate that the Radicals have prosecuted
their work vigorously and successfully, and
promise the most gratifying results. The
only Congressional district ia which there is
any opportunity for doubt is the Fifth, now
represented by Hon. Rowland E, Trow-
bridge, who Is the Republican candidate for
reelection, and our friends are quite conf
dent Of the result there. Hon. William
Bancroft, the Coppcrhcad candidate, Is the
Secretary and Manager Of the Port Huron d
Lake Michigan Railroad, now building
through that district; and he has, therefore,
very large business Interest in his fa7o1.
Moreover, great number Of laborcrs have
recently been imported into the district, to
work upon the line Of the road-nll good
Coprcrhcad voters. Of couree. But We arc
along the line that this game las been prv-
yidcd against, aud that It cannot win.
