Our correspondent claims Wisconsin for
Seymour, although placing it among the doubt
full. His reasons for this conclusion are these:
At the gubernatorial election IN 1858, James L.
Lewis was elected over q. L: Palmer by some
| 25, 600 majority, this including the soldiers
vote. In 1864, Lincoln's majority was II, 600.
IN 1866, Fairchids majority over Hobart
| Dem j was 10000 In 1857, Fairchild over Tall
madee had but 4O70. There had been q grad
ual reduction Of the Radical majority in that
State from 5000 in 1868 to less Than 5000 in
1867. At this rate what will become Of Grants

Onr correspondent gives us an additional
reason why Wisconsin will vote for Seymour,
| that both Presidential candidates are person
ally known to large portion OF the people OF
that State. Governor Seymour, who has
-large. .peoHniary interest," in the ~northern part
of that State, visits: Wisconsin nearly every
year; and wherever ;he1s known he is loved.
Grant is also known to many Wisconsin people,
and where bestmown he will receive the feFest

misled and deceived them.
Ia OPINION OF JUDGE CHASE.
The New York correspondent of the Louis
vile Democrat has had an interview with Judge
Chase, who has lately arrived in that city. In
his conversation with the correspondent Of the
Democrat he is thus reported:
| LAS to the results in November next, he fully
expresses his conviction that the chances are
decidedly In favor Of the Democratic nominee
provided there Sis no cheating round the
board. The Edmunds bill regulating the South
ern electoral votes, he looks upon as fore
shadowing of foul play, and the Democrats are
advised toikeep their eyes ON it accordingly.
Blair's letter, he says, is simply up to the e1i-
tionary in it. On the contrary, he is inclined
to think that it aims to stop the revolution,
(which the admission OF carpet-bag senators is

possibly much good, if it retains the Jacobins
sronf further outrages, by indicating what the
future has in store for them.

DRESSES LARGE GATHERING OF DEMOCRATS.
A telegram from Leavenworth, Kansas, da-
ted July N'Bays:
General Frank P. Blair addressed an i'm
mense meeting this evening. His speech was
principally devoted to the action OF the Radical
party in the reconstruction OF the South, and
the record of General Grant. He charged that
the Republicans having lost the confidence OF the
whole people Of the country, had resorted to
the support OF the blacks. That it was from
mo love of the negro race that they enfran-
chised them, but only as scheme to maintain
! themselves in power. He said he had nothing
to say against General Grant personally; that
his military services would ever be remem-
the arena Of politics, his acts politically were
proper matters for publ, criticism. He said
that General Grant had changed his views
on the subject Of reconstruction incon-
sistently, having at the close Of the
war, urged the immediate admission
Of the senators. and representatives
from the Southern States chosen then By the
people Of those States. But, ne said, the secret
