The Vice Presidential candidate showed marked
Improvement in his condition yesterday morning,
and sat listening to cOnve rsations in his room or
receiving such Of his old friends and acquaint-
ances as called In the spacious parlors
Of his friend DIR. Steele's residence, in
Great Jones street, during the entire forenoon
The visitors were almost innumerable. and most OF
those admitted to see the Governor were either
old college classmates of his ut YALE friends Of
former years, from Kentucky and Missouri. Among
these last was Mr. Jamson of the firm of Jamison,
Smith h Codding, bankers of st. Louis.
Mr.. Ethan Allen, Chairman OF the Liberal Rcpub-
lican National Executive Committee, called in the
afternoon and had some conversation with the
Governor, which was not, however, OF an impor-
tant character, and Mr.. Allen remained but short
time.
Among the annoyances to which all
LIONS HAVE TO SUBMIT
are the persistent demands OF photographers for
sittings. 1t has been stated that Mr.. Greeley was
some weeks ago, nearly distracted by these oper-
ators, who desired to catch his counterfeit pre-
sentiment with bare muscular arm and axe
on shoulder. Finally, when In their frenzy
they insisted upon driving him up a tree he re-
belled. Escaping at the time he has since eluded
their tolls and they, searching for new victim,
have by concerted action and to man gone for
Governor Gratz. The Vice President in prospective
received them kindly as they came pouring in and
explained that he would notify them of his coming
to their respective galleries. each in good time.
Thus several Of the best known establishments
have completed extensive preparations for the
event, and are living from dav to day on the Qqtt
yire OF expectancy.
The Governor is quite weak yet and wears
weary air. with sometimes q look of longing in the
eyes as OF one who regrets absence from home.
He spoke yesterday of his sudden illness, in
danger, as perhaps the best event that
could have occurred to him, warning him as it did
n
industry cannot be safely pushed. Not having suf-
fered nom sickness for some years. he had entered
upon the labor OF the campaign with
THE LITTLE BAND OF MISSOURI REFoRMERs
and had worked necessarily for months with
hardly three hours of rest in twenty -four. TIL two
or three O'Clock each morning he mad sat mp dictat-
ing and writing, buried In q correspondence that
covered the country from Maine to the Pacific Coast.
The sudden prostration which had overtaken him,
fortunately without fatal results. taught him that
he must exercise discretion in the tasks he has set
for himself In future. lie intends within three or
four days to leave the city for quiet place on
the seashore, where he can find surf
bathing aud escape from the throngs that con.
expects to he recuperated, and he will then return
to 81. Louis and the West.
AT four O'Clock yesterday afternoon the Governor,
with his friend and physician, Dr.. Theophilus
steele, drove out on the avenue and through Cen
tral Park, with which he expressed himself de-
lighted. Returning Before Dusk they mnched ut
Delmonicos and were home early in the evening.
speaking of the prospects OF the campaign,
Governor Brown says he can see no possible
CHANCE FOR GENERAL GRANT
to secure more than three States, and even these
are acknowledged to be doubtful. The States
alluded to are Connecticut Massachusetts and South
Carolina. gentleman from Massachusetts, who
held conference with members OF the Liberal
Republican Executive Committee yesterday, sent
word to Governor Brown That his State would,
notwithstanding present appearances, give
a handsome majority for the liberal ticket
in November Others were OF the opinion that
should any reasonable effort be made In south Car
DINA the vote OF that state would be cast with her
sister states OF the South, and the representative
men Of Connecticut were unanimous in promising
q majority OF from five to ten thousand In the State
Of common schools and wooden nutmegs.
In regard TO Iowa, which had by some been con-
sidercd doubtful, the Governor remarked that the
more densey populated counties bordering
on Missouri had become infected with
the popular feeling in the latter
State, and the people there were among the most
enthusiastic ref0rmers. This feeling, too, was fast
spreading, and would long before election day have
swept completely over the State.
Governor Brown seems to regard the present
movement as one of those great tidal waves OF
opinion which, rising from a deep popular sentl-
ment, passes beyond the control of politicians, and,
while carries some forward on its crest, buries
thousands who strive to ride thereon beneath Its
undertow forever.
