him to be a sagacious and safe leader. He
will have grand reception when the great
meeting comes of, the significance OF which
will be that he will reflect the policy of the
new tGreeleY) administration.
Mr.. Greeley left here last evening for
Rhode Island, where some of his friends
have arranged to give him ''clam bake" :"
| one of the institutions of Little Rhoddy"
Mr.. Greeley will spend few days at SeDa-
| tor Sprague's, who be it known, supports
| the ,Liberal-Republican- Democratic move
ment. Mr.. Greeley will also go over to
| Narragansett on the sound, to the summer
residence of Mrs. Sprague, where her
father, Mr.. Greeley's former candidate for
the Presidency, Chief Justice. S. P. Chase.
is sojourning. Our philosophical candidate
will then make call upon Governor Smith,
of Rhode Island, who has recently declared
for Greeley and Brown. That State is sure
for the Liberal ticket. Before Mr.. Greeley
returns to this city he will make a brief
visit to New Hampshire to take look at
the old homestead, at Londonderry, "see
the folks and get some peaches" En- route
he may make quiet call upon General
Banks at his pleasant homestead known as
Mount Prospect, in Waltham.
Grant has been junketing with Tom Muir
ply up at Roscoe Conkling's house in Utica,
New York, in the interior of the State.
COnkliDg has been getting up receptions
for him in the towns in his immediate vi
cinity. This is new mode for presidential
eleotiOneering. Meantime, Washington is
filed with foreign ministers and officials
from every part of the country waiting to
see the President before they can transact
their business. The most significant thing
about the poor devils who have the pluck
to pretend that they are still for Grants
waning cause is that they have no longer
any courage to bet cent on his election.
They can have all the money that they
want that Greeley will be elected, but there
are no takers.
The order of political battle for the fall
contest is about as follows The next cleo
tiOn is in California September 2, for local
purposes only. Vermont will hold her State
election September 3, when she will elect
Governor, State officers, a Legislature and
Congressman. An effort will be made by
the administration to carry the Green noun
tain boys for Grant, but Greeley and wool /
are quite popular in that Old Wing State
A large portion of the Republican party
have pronounced against Grant and formed
q coalition with the Democrats under the
Liberal banner, divided the candidates sat
isfactorily and have gone earnestly into the
fight. Although the Republican majority |
of Vermont has, of late, been larger than |
the entire Democratic vote, the detection in
the ranks of the Grant Republicans is more |
than an offset.
On the ninth of September Maine has
her State election. The Liberal Repub- |
licans are strong and constitute the best |
working material in the party. They have
struck hands with the Democracy, follow |
ing the standard of c. P. Kimball for Gov
ernOr, and will route Grantism horse, foot
and dragons.
On the eighth of October Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Ohio and Nebraska will hold their
About the. two former States
there is no doubt whatever that the anti
Grant ticket will be elected overwhelming
ly. Ohio and Nebraska promise well. The
Liberal Republicans and Democrats are
working together in each State with the
greatest prospect of success. The Grant
party is weakening steadily. The news
from every quarter of the country is most
for the platform and can
didates of Cincinnati and Baltimore.
