Tho reports from ONO and Indiana were In the highest
degree encouraging The German vote in Illinois Is
counted upon being fully per ceat for the Liberal
Democratic ticket probably I'm consequence OF the fact
that the Germans have q candidate Of their own ma
tonalty for Governor the Liberal ticket 1t Is ex-
peoted that their vote will dOcde tho contest IN this
hitherto doubtful State in favor of Mr.. Greeley.
In Ohio, IL is estimated that from 5000 to 1900 Liberal
Republicans vino did not vote at the State election will
cast their suffrages for Mr. Greeley Both Messrs.

Mr. Tiden said he had doubt OF tho Liberals ability
TO carry the State outside OF tho city. He added that
the party is thoroughly organized and that they don't
propose to give the fight up at ALL
The entire Committee was of opinion that Conn ecticut
was safe aud so OF New-Jersey. Gov. Randolph said:
NIy own honest conviction is that can carry New
Jersey although We to have hard hgnt. We hear,
however that there has been considerable impOrta-
ton of negro voters into the State, and that they have
discovered In the towns bordering on the railroads
In the state
The Wisconsin delegate said that they expect to carry
Wisconsin now. On doubt being expressed OF this and
the question chow you going to do r. being asked,
the delegate replied, milwaukee alone will do IT, The
German vote will DO the work" The effect OF the Octo-
ber elections, he said, would not be as depressing on
Wisconsin and the West generally as here because no
such gerted hopes had been INDUCED In there as
had been here In Illinois, the Germans are thoroughly
aroused and the feeling peryades the nationality
in Wisconsin although they have not the incentive OF
