RESULTS OF sLAHDERING MR.. GREELEY.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: The persistency with which The Ner-
York Times clngs ts otrepeated ISLANDERS against Mr.
Greeley is rapidly diminishing its subscription list in
this vicinity. Tho motive which prompts this daily
rade against the altogether too ap
parent so far my observation goes am led to be-
heve that 1t Is contributing much to the popularity
the Liberal party in this section than to its detriment
The people here are quite enthusiastic in favor OF the
Cincinnati ticket. They in this .he only possible
way escape from the system OF taxation that
is proving Suinous, from the usurpation Of State
Rights by tho Federal Government, and from many
other evils dependent the continuance OF the present
Administration In power. BY the way, notice IN a
Heto York Times Of recent date, among New1Ork state
newspapers reported to favor the reelection OF Gen Grant
The TOnkers Statesman The why the editor OF
that paper fayor Grant is evident he holds post
officeship with salary OF $500 49,.
Let the good work continue, this section Of the state
will give rousing majority for Greeley next November

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: have canvassed the situation hereabOut
considerably and find the Grant men very num- They
do not seem TO feel that confidence Grants walking
over the course now that they did before the Cincn-
natl nominations made. Mr. Greeley's letter OF
acceptance "has taken them all aback." 1t leaves no
foothod for Grants followers to get their claws firmly
fixed upon can see evidences of great changes in the
sentiment OF the people here. Mr. Greeley IS gaining
poiticaI strength daily feel confident that Grant will
be defeated and that Mr.. Greeley Is the coming man.
The course The World pursuing is advantageous,
think as il Is certainly convincing the community gem
orally that Mr.. Greeley has never catered TOT Demo
cratic point the Grant men hoped to play with
