CAMPAIGN NOTES.


The Chicago Times is now alone of Iii
nois Democratic papers refusing to support
Greeley.
VIM. r. Smith, of Tuscaloosa, who has
heretofore acted with the Grant party, is
the Liberal nominee for Congress in the
Fourth District of Alabama. t
W. L. Hepburn, formerly Lieutenant
Colonel of the Second Iowa Calvary, and
at present lawyer in Page county, Iowa,
has taken the stump FIR Greeley.
Captain Yeoman, of Fort Dodge, Iowa,
who belonged to the brigade which captured
JEFF Davis, was the first man in his town to
declare for Horace Greeley.
Democratic ex-Mayors Randall, Champ
lin and Powers, of Grand Rapids, Michigan,
in response to contrary assertions by Grant
journals, declare themselves in favor of
Greeley and Brown.
Our exchanges from all quarters TEEN
with reports Of the organization of Greeley
and Brown campaign clubs, in many Of
which the Liberal Republicans and Demo
Gratis participate harmoniously.
Says correspondent, writing from
Princeton, H., several prominent citizens of
this place propose to wager any amount of
money that Horace Greeley viii be the
next President. The GRANTEES are slow in
coming to time, and express no desire what
ever to bet on an uncertainty. q = s-sa
The Springfield Republican, says: "There
is no longer reasonable doubt that BJston
will give large majority for Greeley, and
it viii probably elect two Liberal members
of Congress. Besides the Times, which is
the Greeley organ, the HerGld-which prints
more daily papers than all the other daily
journals of the city altogether, and probably
circulates twice as many in the city of Bos-
ton as all the other papers-is an earnest,
steady-going, and influential supporter of
the Liberal reform" errHg-a Il
A gentleman writing from North Caro-
lima says: "Although Merrimon and our
State ticket are defeated by small major
ity, yet our friends do not feel at all diseou-
aged, but, on the contrary, have to
rejoice at our success. When we think that
Grants last majority in1S6S was nearly 49,
900, and that of last year was 10000, and,
moreover, that the administration spent its
full force here, we certainly have reason for
congratulation. 1t is significant fact, and
should be made public, that our losses were
principally in the counties where a large
number of persons had been indicted by the
United States Circuit Court, and that the
number of indictments equalled Caldwell's
majority. We sha carry the State for
Greeley in November"
A correspondent from Columb county,
PENN, the home of the Hou. Charles r.
Buckalew, declares that the Liberal major
ity will be fully $500, being 700 more than
the usual Democratic majority.
The Hon. Homer A, Nelson, formerly
Secretary of State of New York, in re-
cent interview expressed his conviction that
this State will give Greeley and Brown
majority of from $1,000 to 100000, and
that all efforts to divide the Democratic
vote viii prove futile.
At Key West (Florida) there are $40
white votes, 230 of whom are for Greeley
and but 10 for Grant. There are also $50
negro votes who are said to be pretty
equally divided. OF the 10 white voters
who are in favor of Grant, one is Dis
trics Judge, one is Postmaster, one is
United States Marshal, one is Deputy |
Marshal, one Is Treasury Agent, one is |
Clerk of United states Court. Pure pa
triots all. In Florida the carpet-baggers |
appoint the electors, and let the people do |
as they please, Grant gets her three votes.
