SOME or TnD HDf1npDox REPUBLICANS.
Luhe Ramsey, Of whom you have heard, man OF
brains and former republican member OF Congress,
is out ana At work hard On the liberal side in this
county; 10 is d. O. Greenfield. Surrogate. The
MbersI crowd has sense q the foremost men, like
Jared O. wnliams, CnazIep B. Sedgwicg, formerly
member OF 0onGrsss Al leading lawyer in
syracuse. There n sase the famous Pat Cor

nre into his speeches - warm mp q conventicle
OF hard-shen Baptisss. Frank Hiscock, brother OF
him OF that name who yss shot by Cole, is the
democratic and liberal caodidate for Congress, and
says he is bound 70 beelested even II the heavens
fall James J. Beldsn, wealthy citizen and
former staunch republicaa, Of Utica is with the
liberals. The present eAeoin and District Attorney
OF Onondaga, wiIliau Evans and w. p Goodale,
have deserted their former political love.
In Oswero country thsFe are two tolerably
prominent men liberalzed-Littlejohn and Henry
A. Feste1, ex-United States Senator. In Madison
county the best known deerter is D. w. Cameron,
ex-Dlstriot Attorney Iaq giving now the names

SPECULATION IN FIGURES
The best advices received by Mr.. Smith, Of the
Journal which is the republican organ, estimate
republican majority in Osweg0 county at from
two thousand eight hundred to three thousand,
and Cortland county at from one thousand five
hundred to one thousand six hundred. In 1859
Oswego gave q republican majority Of 2,064. In
On olp IN WI q I'M
1871 2,2O0 In 1870 Cortland county gave republi-
can majority Of 1414. Here would be gain OF sew
eral hundred in Oswego and about hundred and
nifty in Cortland, but l am not quite satisfied yet
with Mr.. Smiths speculation. The republican
schismatics in Cortland county are led by Hofatio
Ballard, father-in-law Of Senator Robertson. ex-
Secretary OF State. There is also Judge Shank
land father-in-law OF Judge Andrews, OF the Court
OF Appeals, and Judge A. Smith, present
County Judge, last year Chairman Of
the Republican County Committee. In
Madison county one Of the wealthest
OF It's citizens has caught the Greeley heresyJames
Stewart, x-member OF Assembly Green Smith,
son of Gerrit Smith, who leads the embattled hosts
for Grant. Tim Terwlliger, OF stamp notoriety,
sticks to his party as his party sticks to him. Illus
trating mutual, beautiful adheslyeness.
OTHERS or THE sECgDERs.
II. L. Dugend is the present Revenue Collector
here. He holds on to his trust and emoluments in
spite Of the fact that he has taken sides against his
"boss'' in Washington OF course Tom Alvord has
long since defined his position. He is running for
member OF Assembly in the First district against
William H. II. Gere. and the Journal people say he
will be defeated; but Moses Summers, OF the Stand
ara, thinks not. c. Tyler LOngstreet, who was
twice republican candidate for Mayor OF Syracuse,
and T. B. Fitch, delegate to the Baltimore Con-
vention that nominated Lincoln, have transferred
their allegiance to the Greeley party.
HONEYCOABED PARTY.
Thus you see in this, the banner county Of this
section OF the State, where the voice OF Tom Al
word rings out like the trumpet summons to a
tournament the republican party is rather seriously
honeycombed with hetorodoxy. The Standard,
formerly republican paper, turned over, and thus
left but one organ to advocate the views of the
regular party, while the liberals have two. They
are three lively papers, the Courier possessing the
largest circulation.
LIVELY Local. FIGHT.
There is a local fight going on which will have its
effect the general ticket in the county. 1t he's
centred on the County Treasurer, for which Office
George ii. Wright is nominated on the liberal
against Charles w. Ostrander on the republican
side The latter Is seeking the soldier vote, but
the other is cutting him out, and this makes the
local struggle lively and interesting. Wright is
to win, as his war record stands high, and his
brother Charley, or as they dub him, Captain
Jlnks,nis the most popular boy in Syracuse. Os-
trander was a Know Nothing, and bolted several
times because he failed to get petty office Sam
Cox spoke here the other night. but his audience
was not large one. The meeting was held in
Shakespeare Hall, concerning which there is a ira.
dition that, after being built it settled several
inches, and is dangerous to life when occupied by
full audience. Therefore 1t was that the Syracus.
ans withheld part OF the light Of their c0untenance
from the witty and brilliant Sunset. Sam could
hardly have known anything about this, for he
thundered away like line-of-battle ship, and yet
there was nobody hurt. suspect Sans free-trade
notions stand in his way In this region of once pro-
tectcd salt.
SAM cox AND HIS SALTY SPEECH.
Salt is everything here and protection is believed
in as regiOusly as the Ten Commandments. Cox uses
fearful quantity of salt on his sweet potatoes and
consequently he wants it cheap. He carries it
round in his OvercOat pocket and eats 1t by the
handful This is because he has horror OF corrup-
ton and unless he took his barrel Of salt regularly
every day the Lord only knows what would become OF
him. He was thinking Of starting salt works Of his
own, his appetite for saline diet is growing at a
fearful rate, and, il it keeps on, the Atlantic
Ocean will nave to be evaporated for him.
He was made present OF several barrels
by few OF his democratic admirers and his speech
of thanks in return is said to have brought the brny
tears to the eyes OF his hearers He said the people OF
Syracuse were the salt OF the earth, and he was
grateful for the three barrels, for he wanted all
that salt, as he was the SAVIOR Of the democratic
party and the foe of corruption. He loved salt.
His earliest recolections were Of taking dose OF
salts and SIENNA from the hands Of his nurse, old
Sal Volatile. it were denied him
to settle down in Syracuse be should
stop In one other glorious spot, New
Rochelle where the salts, II not Of the charac
ter as in Syracuse, were able, he was in position
to affirm, to purge the body polite. The only
friends Of his youth and companions Of his bosom
were old Salts and the love Of his bright and early
existence was saltatory exercise. His manhood
had been spent in assauting the citadel OF corrup
