personal observation, was composed Of

10000 visiting soldiers in the city, be.

that it was an insignificant gathering, and
that harsh feelings were engendered TO-

In Indiana the canvass has been re-
mArkable Tor vigor and activity, and the
organization on both sides has never been
eQualled. Senator Morton has given per-
snnal attention TO every detsil on one side
and his opponent, ex-senator Hendricks,
10 the other; and from all advices, the
feeling on both sides Is intense and enthu.

from many quarters, / feel very confident
Of the result Mr.. Greeley's excursion
through Indiana has been Of no special
injury TO US. He has made some unusu.
ally judicious declarations, and those
principally on one subject, reconciliation.
This one strain Is wonderfully prolific Of
sweet sounds in the hands OF this famous
organist; but Mr.. Greeley, like the loco
motive on the wagon road, is of the
track. He is a power on the track, but
of, on the highways, he has run into
the qusgmires which he has for lite.

The Ohio canvass has been in the
hands OF persons who have been singu.
larry apathetic and dilatory, but the
awakening there has been unmistskablc,
and the campaign has assumed a healthy
and prosperous appearance. The defec-
ton Of Hassaurek and the HoLksJLdt, OF
Cincinnati, and with It a number of Ger
mans, has proved Of benefit 10 US, think.
1t has served 10 thoroughly arouse Re.
publicans 10 their danger, and the out.
rsgeous barteriDg Of that newspaper By
its editor, Hsssaurek, in the political
markets here and in Washington, has
e1asperated thousands OF Germans
throughout that State and Indiana, who
will not suffer themselves 10 be herded
and manipulated by any man or set Oh
men. From all sdvices received BY the
Republican National Committee, l have
no tears OF the result in Ohio, and I think
in all probability We will have majority
near 1900. OF the other October States
very little is said-neither side giving
them prominence. Nebraska promises
to join the Republican chorus, and give q
hearty response 10 her iar.of sister
Maine.
or the States holding no elections until
November, my limited space will not al
low me to speak at length. The canvass
throughout the country is thoroughly and
actively under way, and promises 10 swell
the echo Of the October victories. The
following are extracts from some OF the
letters received at the Republican head,
quarters from few Of the November
States.
a letter from Little Rock, Ark, saws:
The cOlOred vote in this State is solid
for Grant and the Republican party. Ev,
cry artifce and fraud have been used by
the Greeley men in this State 10 bring the
colored people to the support OF the can,
didates Of the Democracy, bat all then
efforts have proven futile. They look
with suspicion upon any movement which
threatens the destruction of the Republi-
can party. They have been taught BIZ
experience that it is far easier ior the
Democratic party 10 convert few Re
publicans out Of Office, who have freely
shown their dissatisfaction thereat than |,
is for q few Republicans 10 convert the
whole Democratic party, which is as bad
as in 1888. BY q united, deter.
mined effort, this State can be carried tor
Grant in November. From all sides |
hear Of clubs being formed, which prom.
ises the States for u.s."
W. L. W. writes from ST. Paul, Mime.
sota:
"Aiter the Cincinnati Convention there
were many Republicans here and in The
State who it was said were in favor Of
Greeley, but of late the number ia yery
small, and can hardly find one. The
enthusiasm among the Republicans il
wonderful, and our meetings are largely
attended, while the meetings Of the oppo.
sition are very small and very duh. :
Many astute politicians predicted an
overwhelming wave, but as yet the wave
has not come. Our State is sure, without
a doubt, for Grant and Wilson"
CIV. S. n, San Francisco, writes:
There is no doubt whatever of this
State. 1t is now only a question Of ma.
jority. Grant will receive that given ior
Governor Booth, to wit, over 5000, and
we confidently expect 10 largely increase
it You can safely put California in your
list Of certain STATES"
r A. S. writes from Austin, Cas- coun.
ty, Missouri:
Politics are pretty lively here. We are
unit here for Grant and Wilson. There
are great many Democrats here thatare
undecided. They don't like 10 vote for
Grant, and cannot eat crow. But The
greater part Of them will unite and vote
Tor Greeley. Yet l consider Missouri has
a VeTy fair show for the Republicans in
November. We intend 10 make things
lively 10 succeed.
A letter from Atlanta, Ga, says:
