tickets in the field, and no other. The demo-

"reform" ticket. We hope this ticket will be
elected

lows to the question of a reporter: "Pennsylsa-

against us by the October elections

TO be conceded to Greeley. 1t says: Delaware
is not certain for Greeley. On the contrary, it
is altogether likely to vote for Grant, and at the
very worst, must be classified as doubtful. We
mean this, seriously. Delaware cannot be
claimed as a Greeley state"

the other day, assailed General Grant, as usual,
and said: ''No man ever saw General Grant
talking with a sick or wounded soldier"

hundred shots were fred and adds; "These
were sufficient TO rout the negroes and send
them scampering in every direction. They stood
not upon the order of their going, but went at
once, pell-mell, hurry-skurry, all madly bent
upon getting out Of the way. leaving their dead
and wounded upon the field"
The Hartford Courant says: "Mr w. W.
Eaton, who is the acknowledged leader of the
democratic party in this state, said at demo-
cratic meeting in American hall, a few evenings
| before the October elections, that he would be
| frank with his audience and saw TO them that if
The states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana
went for Grant, or two of them, Connecticut
| would 90 for Grant also. Mr.. Eaton never took
much stock in the Greeley movement, and he
will probably now back up his candid statement
and concede that Greeley has no hope of this
state"

patch has cut Of Horace Greeley standing

At political meeting the speaker and audi.
ence were much disturbed by a man who con-
stantly called out for Mr.. Henry. Whenever a
new speaker came on, this man bawled out:
"Mr. Henryl Henry! Henryl call for Mr..
HenryP After several interruptions of this
kind at each speech, young man assembled the
platform, and was soon airing his eloouence in
magEiloquent style, striking out powerfully in
his gestures, when the old cry was heard for Mr.
Henry. Putting his hand 10 his mouth like
speaking trumpet this man was hawling out at
the TOP, OF his voice: "Mr. Henry! Henry Henry!
Henry! ] call for Mr.. HeuryP The chairman
now rose and remarked that it would oblge the
audience if the gentlemen would refrain from
any further calling for Mr. Henry, as that gem
tleman was now speaking. SIS that Mr..
Henry said the disturber of the meeting
Thunder! that can't be Mr. Henry! WHY,
that's the little cuss that told me to hoierp
Mr.. Henry did not join in the laugh which fol-
lowed.
The Jacksonville (Florida) Union speaks thus
OF the political situation in that state: ''Our ad-
vices from all parts of the state continue of the
most cheering character. With the exception
of two or three local spits-which, however,
are confined composing candidates for the legis-
lature, and which will not affect the national or
state tckets-the party is better united better
organized, and in better condition than it has
ever been before, and if the republicans are al.
lowed fair vote, and protected from fraud and
intimidation, they will roll up larger majority
than they have had since 1868. West Florida
has been well canvassed by Major Purman, Hon.
A. A. Knight, and other speakers, with the most
gratifying results. Through South Florida.
Judge Hart and Hon. M. L. Stearns have made
careful canvass, addressing the people at ali
important points, while East and Middle Florida
have been aroused by large and enthusiastic
mass meetings held in every county. The work
is still going on without interruption, and by
the 9Th of November next, the republican party
of Florida will deyelope a strength that win be
as astonishing to IT'S enemies as it will be graft
ssing to its friends"
