THE CAM PAICN.
A Religious View Of General Grant.

yehceF writes from Long Branch:
am in time to see plain buggy, drawn
by a quiet-looking horse, 60 by amid the
throng of hashy turnouts and elegant fami-
ly chariots that fill the road. The driver
is alone in the carriage--a thick-set man.
whose face shows the touch of wind and
weather. He has brown hair and beard,
deep eyes, a square, not high forehead
and closelyly- clipped moustache is
| pressed well upon the bearded lower lip
by the firm lines of the mouth. Hats are
lifted here and there us he passes, and he
raises his in response, but with no change
in the habitual gravity of his countenance.
| There is literally nothing in his vehicle,
dress or manner to distinguish him from
the hundreds of his fellow citizens flocking
| along the thoroughfare. aa.a..
! | meet him almost daily in our rides and
walks-always, let me say it, with re-
turn Of the emotions that thrilled me on an
April morning, seven years agone, when,
driven from my bed by thoughts born of
the previous days excitement, beheld
through my window, streaming brightly
and proudly from the church-tower oppo-
site, the star spangled banner, and fell to
my knees in burst of glad recollection
that the war was over and our flag unsullied!
| wish it were proper to speak here of
the glimpses of the warrior statesman's
home with which we have been favored this
private life he is as decorous and exempla-
ry as he has shown himself wise and brave
in battle. / am no more of politician
than is my 'monarchist" friend, DR.. -,
but | know whereof speak when | assert
that these things are true. .
How Doe. This Look for Gratz Browns aO,-
900 Majority In Missouri!
A letter from prominent Republican in
johnson county, Mo-, says:
1t is my opinion that not one of any ten
Liberal Republicans of two years ago who
voted for Glatz Brown for Governor, will
vote for him for Vice President. All the
so-called Liberal Republicans Of two years
ago are now Grant men. They have be-
come Disguised with the treachery of their
LEADERS,, and are determined to be miscd
no longer. Especially are they disguised
with the administration Of GratZ Brown as
Governor"
Another letter IL ,n Missouri says: .
''The Republicans in this part of Missou-
ri [near st. Louisl are very hopeful. The
Germans are all going for Grant, with a
very few exceptions. In one large brew
cry here there are ttp,ty-twu Germans en-
ployed, and all but i've are gong to vote
the Republican ticket. All these men two
years ago voted the Liberal ticket. AS to
Gratz Brown being able to give aid to the
Greeley ticket, it is great blunder. The
Liberals here are Disguised with him, and
many Democrats alike detest him. =
know of several Democrats who say they
will not vote for Greeley under any circum-
stances, but will vote for the Louisville
nominee, should there be one."
Straws from Travellers. ...
A correspondent of the Fort Dodge
Qowa) Messenger communicates the follow
ing: CAS- the Republicans of glorious
young Iowa are deeply interested in the
results of the Presidential election, give
for their encouragement few items gath
cred in my travels in Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa during the
last lew weeks. Last Monday | left Mil
waukee on the noon train for Chicago. On
the way we took vote of passengers Tor
President. 1t stood 70 for Grant and 81
for Greeley. On Tuesday, coming through
Illinois on the Northwestern, tie vote
stood % for Grant and s for Greeley.
Coming over the b. c. and N. Railroad from
Cedar Rapids to Cedar Falls, the vote stood
8 for Grant and 6 for Greeley. | met
friend at Cedar FILLS who had come through
from New Hampshire, and he informed me
that votes taken ON all the trains as he came
through, stood about one-third more for
Grant than for Greeley. saw another
gentleman who had been travelling in In
diana and Ohio and had taken pains to can
vass all trains on which he had travelled.
He stated that only in one instance had the
vote cast for Greeley come nearly equal to
the Grant vote. In all other instances the
vote was about one-thrd more for Grant
than Greeley"
Check TO the Brnggers.
A gentleman Of this city authorizes us to
announce that he will bet one thousand
dollars on Grant and Wilson, on every
State in tile Union. Not less than $4,000
to be deposited by each party, in any APP
proved Trust Company to abide the result.
