Debut OF Edmund Yates.

New YORK, September 20.
I have conversed with some of the gentle
men who accompanied Mr.. Greeley on bill
Western tour. They give the most glowing
accounts OF his reception In the West and II
Pennsylvania, and unhesitatlngly express the
opinion that he has improved his chances o
election by going among the people of those
States. They describe the Indianapolis dem
onstratIon which greeted Mr.. Greeley al
something wonderful. Comparing the size O
the two cities 1t was q much greater affair
than anything Of the kind that has taken place
IN this great Democratic metropolis. The
capital OF Indiana is 8 Republican stronghold,
but on the night of Greeley's arrival there
were forty thousand people In its streets, O
large proportion of whom were torch-bearers.
There were literally miles of flaming lanterns,
and they occupied hours liz passing the stand
from which Mr.. Greeley and others spoke.
l have also met q gentleman just from the
West, who was In Indianapolis the day after
the Greeley reception. The Radicals tried to
get up a connter-demonstration, and imported
senator Logan, one OF the best stump speak
ers 10 the West, 10 draw the crowd. Logan
spoke In the principal hall in the city, and my
traveller, who was present, says It was not
half filed, and was as tame as a Quaker prayer
meeting. Logan vainly dashed himself into
assumed fury; he could scarcely raise O cheer
for Grant. The contrast between the two
demonstration was most significant.
These Observers come back with the impress
sion gathered, from the talk thev heard around
them In Indianapolis, that Hendricks will
have ten thousand majority for Governor
next week. Mr.. Hendricks himself thinks
his majority will be fifteen thousand.
carry The State by q small majority, Others con-
cede 1t to Hendricks BY i've thousand. My In
formants also speak very hopefully of Ohio,
where there Ia q large German vote, enough
to turn, the scale between the parties, and 1t 10
nearly solid for Greeley and the Democratic
State ticket. ~
From Pennsylvania we continue to hear
good accounts, particularly from the western
counties where Radicalism has heretofore been
30 strong. There are various estimates of
Buckalew's majority. The more cautious Of
bis partisans put 1t at ten thousand. Mr..
Greeley thinks Ii will BIZ fifteen thousand.
From that the ESTIMATES run up to thirty thou
sand. The week that is yet 10 elapse before
the election may, however, assist the Radlcale.

rupting voters. In MaIne the Radical mana
gers stood at the polls with rolls OF green
backs and bought up voters openly. They
will undoubtedly try TO do the same in Penn
~sylvania next week. SILL Pennsylvania Is a
large State to buy up, aud the Liberals are on
the alert to check rascality. II the Radicals
break down in Pennsylvania next week the
Zig is upn for Grant. That seems to be CON-
coded on all sides. -
The last desperate mGkeshllt Of the Came
ron Ring, the pardon of Yerkes from the peni-
Tertiary, Ia consideration of his swearing that
his former affidavit duplicating Hartranft was
q forgery, will damage the Radicals trench
dously. 1t will hardly deceive anybody, and
ought to disgust thousands who had reluctant.

TIL Observation-Disclosures Ia this State have
really opened o campaign against Francis
Herman on account OF his religious convlc-
lions. It is evidence of their desperation.
They find that O'BrIen and Tweed cannot de-
liver the Irish vote according to contract, and
they have determined 10 try the other tack,
and appeal to the bigolry of the rural
masses. To-day the Times published on Its
editorial page what pretended to be q fac-sim-
lie of II placard or ticket Issued aud circulated
secretly by the Romul Catholics. IL was
simply the device OF q CROSS embroidered With
the words ''For Governor, Francis Keenan,"
The preIence of the Times Is that 1t Is by such
appeals as these that the Catholic propagan- |
dlsts are secretly urging The voters OF their |
faith to WORK for Mr.. Krrnan. OF Course the
story Ia q miserable and malicious invention,
but the hope Ia that II may arouse The preju- |
dices of The ProtestaDts and Jews against the |
candidate Tor governor.
