REPUBLICAN DELFT.


DIR. John Martin, an old and influential
Republican of Noble county, Ohio, publish
es cogsnt reasons for his intended vote for
Greeley. - ~ E-r ri IL - /.
Charles B. Sedgwick, Of Syracuse, N. T.,
late member of Congress and Republican
of great infuence, has taken the stump for
Greeley. SIS s.,. al Ca k q
In Washington county, Pennsylvania,
alone, more than one hundred leading and
prominent members of the Radical party
have declared their intention to vote for
Greeley and Brown.
The Liberal Republican wave has reach
ed Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and large
Greeley and Brown club bas been organized
in that place. 1t is composed of men who
have hitherto acted in conspicuous man
Der with the Republican party. @
The st. Paul Pioneer contained call for
the organization of a Greeley club in that
city, signed by two hundred and four Lib
eral Republicans and several hundred Dem
ocrats. The revolution is moving in Min
nesota.
A letter from Columbus, Ohio, says: Gas
surances are given that in every township
in the county, the accessions to Greeley now
equal 10 per cent of the Republican party
vote. By the day of the election it viii be
largely increased" 81
One hundred Republicans have signed a
call for a Greeley and Brown meeting in
the town of Bath, Steuben county, New
York. Among them is tie late Republican
Sheriff of the county, j. Roby, member Of
the Republican County Committee, and D.
r. McMaster, formerly County Judge.
The Hudson On. " EreniRg Register
publishes a call signed by seventy-nine
Liberal Republicans for Greeley and
Brown ratification meeting, and it is claimed
by the Committee that there are at least as
many more Republicans in that city who
are working for the Cincinnati ticket, but
who decline to place their names 10 the call
for satisfactory reasons.
The Kingston IN. W argus says; "Hon.
William Lawton, who was last fall nomi-
mated and elected. county judge of Ulster
county by the Republicans, is in favor of
Greeley and Brown. Peter Cantine, Esq,
elected by the Republicans last fall as sur
rogate of Ulster county, is regular out
and out Greeley man. William ii. De
Garmo, ESQ.,, who has been the Republican
candidate for sheriff the last two terms, and
enjoys the prestige of being the most eff
fecEive "worker" in his party In the county,
is one of the Liberal Republican Central
Committee, and goes for Greeley and Brown.
James G. Lindsey, who was the last Re-
publican candidate for Congress in his dis
trics is now chairman of the Greeley Re-
publican Committee of Ulster county.
A curious piece of news comes from
Queens county. The Republican commit
tee of that county is composed of seven
men, one from each town. When the COM
mittee met to prepare for the campaign,
Mr.. Prince, the chairman, proceeded in
eulogy of the Philadelphia nominees. He
was suddenly interrupted, the committee
being divided on the nomination, three for
Greeley and three for Grant and one indepen-
dent, who has since declared for Greeley.
This caused no little excitement. Mr..
Prince has called primaries to increase the
committee. When the new members pre-
sent themselves for admission there will be
a lively time. 1t is claimed that they can
only be received by majority vote, and the
majority are Greeley men. Thus a new
committee viii have TO be chosen and there
will ensue nice litigation for possession of
tie books and fund. ---. -..-. -.
AS specimen Of the way Greeleyism is
working among the workingmen, letter
from Cincinnati relates that prominent
manufacturer of that city, going to the Lib
eral mass meeting there the other night, was
surprised to meet his foreman there. "Why,
W. said he, show is this. What brings
you here tonight? You are not turned
Liberal9" "Well, now, see here" was the
response; suppose you make some inquiry
among the men in the faetory-you'Il find
of eighty eight men there are not five who
will vote for Grant, and all of them did in
1863" The printers in one Of the principal
newspaper offices Of the same city were
polled, and it was found that all but five
voted for Grant in 1868, while now they
