Republicans in North Carolina, have, we
understand, declared theE intention of sup
porting Greeley for President.
A correspondent in Syracuse, Otoe coun-
ty, Nebraska, writes that that precinct,
which has always given large Republican
majority, viii cast more than two-thirds of
its votes for Greeley and Brown. The
same change is observable throughout the
State, and it will give at least five Thousand
majority to the Cincinnati nominees.
Col. John Anderson, of Parma, Michi-
gan, pioneer settler, and an enthusiastic
Republican, writes to the Jackson Neaos,
saying: ave have many Republicans among
us who are Outspoken for Greeley, and
many more who, although silent on politi-
cal matters, are at heart in sympathy with
the Cincinnati movement"
The New York Tribune publishes let
ter from a prominent German, showing
that, with one exception, every German
Republican paper which favored the Gin
cinnati movement gives a cordial support
10 its candidates; that the leading Germans
are all going the same way, and that
larger German vote than has ever before
been united on one candidate will be cast
for the Liberal ticket in November.
The Chicago Tribune says: "Our re-
ports from Kansas are of the most crafty
ing nature. A gentleman whose name, if
we felt at liberty to give it, would be recog-
nized at once as the very best authority, as
sures US that the Liberal party is organized
in every county, that in good many places
it will fairly divide the Republican vote with
Grant, and that be has no doubt that the
electoral vote of the State will be cast by
fair majority for Greeley and Brown"
The Kalamazoo Gazette says: "Of
course, Michigan will go for Grant by the
usual majority At least that's what the
Faithful say, of course, for outside effect.
But behind the curtain the thing is differ
ent. John j. Bagley, candidate for the
nomination of Governor, came here to urge
Vice President Colfax to stump Michigan
for Grant aud the Regulars Why said
Colfax, with evident surprise, you don't
need any help in Michigan, do you" yes,
by G-ehosephat, We do replies Bagley,
'we want all the help We can get, and we
shall need all we get, too, tell YOU"
Michigan is endorsing the Baltimore Con-
vention. J. P. Thompson, President of the
Pathological Society, writes to the Secreta-
ry of the Greeley and Brown Executive
Committee at Washington, and says that
all sides are probably convinced now that
Michigan endorses the action of the Balti-
more Convention. Mr.. Thompson states
that the additions to the ranks under Gree
ley and Brown are very cheering, especially
in Gov. Blair's district. The Liberal re-
form movement is also gaining recruits eV-
cry day in his district-Grand River Val
ley.
A Liberal Republican writing from
Gaesburg, Illinois, says:
"You will find Liberals all over these
prairies, indeed, so numerous are they,
that the best judges do not hesitate to pre-
dict that this State will give decided ma
joIity against the 'Great American Gift
Take in November next. And the Illinois
Liberals are liberal in every sense of the
word. As one of them who had been a
Federal soldier through the war said, the
| other day, when reproached because he was
affiliating with those who had been anti
war Democrats, Il desire you to under
stand that L am not Stalking bands across
the bloody chssm at all-Id an clear across y
There are to-day in this State mole than
sENENTY-FIvE THOUSAND LIBERAL Re-
PUBLICANs. Yes; and ace mean business
If any one doubt it, they should have looked |
inupon the convention Of our party that met |
at Springfield few days ago. There were |
over four hundred delegates, coming up |
| from every one GOD ofthe counties of our |
grand old State. They were strong in the |
consciousness of the justice Of our cause |
firm in the conviction that the country |
should be rescued from the centralized des- |
polism at Washington, and q readiness 20 |
yield all things to accomplish this one grand |
purpose. Old men who had grown gray in !
the party service were there. Young men |
full of hope and life were there. Middle |
aged men with matured judgment and no
less determined purpose, were there. A |
majority of them had been soldiers. But |
they were there on a mission of peace and
recOnciliatiOn-there TO show that all of |
the bitter animOsities engendered by the
war-So far as they were concerned-Were
forgotten. Y on have seen the result
of our deliberations. We felt that
there was 10 use in opposing those
who were working with US for common
object, and therefore We united with the
Democratic party and adopted the same
Sgafa tiacr Of ,,y
publicans and six Democrats. That ticket
loM Sl1eep THIS State from Cook TO Alexan-
der, next November, like whrlwind! The
distinguished gentleman that heads the
ticket as a candidate for Governors a Ger
man-the Hon. Gustavus K9rner, Of st.
Clair. He is known and honored through
out the length and breadth of the State
the synonym of honesty, capacity and il
tegrity. There can be no reasonable doubt
of his election. To be sure Oglesby will
run probably ten thousand votes ahead of
Grant in this State, yet he viii need to run
fifth thousand ahead of him to be elec5-
ed. This may seem hardly credible.
Nevertheless it is true. There are forty
thousand German voters in Illinois. Here
tofore they have nearly all of them voted
the Republican ticket. Now they viii,
every one of them, or nearly every one,
vote for KGrner. As might be expected
Haey are all against Grant. / have yet to
see the first German in Illinois that is for
Grant and l have seen and conversed
with thousands of them. But to be more
specific, and in order TO show what a conf
pLete revolution has occurred in this State,
/ will mention the changes that have Oc-
CURED, and are occurring, IN several of the
counties. We neUer do anything by hdlUes
in Illinois. In Rock Island county the Re-
publican vote is nearly divided. In this
county (Knox) we claim this as the BAL
ner Greeley county-Grant had 1909 ma
jority four years ago. THIS year his ma
iority will not exceed 800, if it reach
es even that. We are even hopeful of car
rying the county. In Warren county (neXt
west of us) Grant had about thousand
majority in '6S; this year that county will
give more than 500 majority against him.
Cook county, that gave him eight thousand
majority in '6S, will give at least 5000
