oucu enlIuSiaslu has never Oecn known since int
days of "Tippecanoc :" The Republicans claim
every Congress District in the State with but one
exception. The Copperhead speakers travel
about like night ghosts, and speak against the
niger in sickly-loOking crowds, occasionally
ringing in hat full of lies about the finances.
But the Hoosier State is doing magnificent work,
and will scorcl the rebels with glorious Repub-
lican majority in October.
Senator Yates, after thorough canvass of tho
State, says she may be depended upon for at
least $1,000 majority in November, and advices
from many other sources confirm this. Logan,
Oglesby, Palmer and Yates are sweeping over the
States like pillars Of fire The Boys in Blue greet
them by tens of thousands with swinging torches
and starry banners. The spirit Of 1854 animates
the hearts of the loyal true and brave, and their
charge in November will wipe out the last traces
of COpperheadism in that State.
Michigan has Grant and Colfax pole in nearly
every township. The State is being thoroughly
canvassed, and the rebel Michiganders look blue.
Seymour stands as good a chance of carrying
Michigan as Vermont. The Republicans have a
sure thing in every Congressional district, and
claim the State by 80, 600 majority.
IOWA. 1909
The work of filling and closing up the Re-
publican ranks for the conflict is going briskly
on. Competent speakers are in the field, and
recruits are being added in large numbers. Every
county is thoroughly organized, and fairly steams
with Union fervor. Iowa is sort of Western
Vermont, but threatens to excel her great cxem-
plar: al
WISCONSIN s
Advices from Wisconsin are OF the most cheer
ing character. Gentlemen from various parts of
the State all agree that the Republican party was
never so thoroughly aroused nor SO firmly united
as at this time. On the other hand, the Drmoc-
racy are disheartened and <emoralized Doolit-
tie has been among them, but the opinion is uni
versa that his speeches do more harm than good.
The Republicans count upon 10000 majority in
the State, and it may be even more. We wouid
like to see Seymour get vote out OF the glori-
Gus old 9Th Wisconsin regiment. Shake 'em,
Badgers! You can do it.
MISSOURI.
In this State the Republicans are making an
active canvass Glorious meetings are being
held in every section of the State. TIE Congress
nominations arc complete and every one OF
them is claimed by the Unionists. Carl Schurz
is to go through the State in October, and will
stir up the masses to white heat. The county
organizations are complete, and clubs are formed
in nearly every township. Missouri will talk
right in November. ..t
WEST VIRGINIA.
The Republicans are thoroughly aroused and
| are tossing the rebels in blankets. Senators
Wiley and Van Wrinkle are working in theil
| shirt-sleeves for Grant and ColfaX. The State
licans seem confident of sweeping everything.

This State is sure for Grant and ColfaX, though
the rebels throughout the State are determined
to vote. The freedmen seem to know theii
friends, and ale evidently up to rebel snuff OuI
exchanges show but few meetings. but private
throughout the State. .E
DELAWARE. @
Little Delaware has sounded the key note Of
victory in the Wilmington charter election. This
is premonition of complete triumph in No

ed speakers are to canvass the State. The Grant
and Colfax Clubs are working vigorously, with
good prospects of success.
"-s--.' MARYLAND. -"" F..
The canvass in Mar, land has thus far been q
sleepy one The boys, however, are showing
signs of spirit, but the State seems hopeless. II
the Republicans had done their duty when they
were in power, the votes OF the returned rebels
would have been counterballanced by the votes
of the Union blacks. We have hopes Of retain
ing one Congress district If the Republicans
will work earnestly and canvass the State thor
oughly, they may increase their vote several
thousands, and the day may not be far distant
when they can reclaim the State.

Tennessee will do her work. Republican meet
ings are being held in every county in the State
and the enthusiasm is, hourly increasing. The
rebels fume and fret and threaten to vote or fight
but Governor Brownlow's preparations iu the in
terests OF law and order have taken the stiffening
out of them, and they will be reasonably quiet
The State can give 10000 majority for Grant ant

The rebels are at their old game OF assassination
and Union men are butchered almost hourly. Re
publican meetings have been held at Helena, Des
Arc, Little Rock. and Fort Smith, at which the
freedmen and native Unionists were out in force
The rebels will probably follow the example o.
their brethren in South Carolina and Georgia
and insist on voting. The Unionists, however
seem confident of carrying the State.
The Pacific Slopers'' are growing wild will
