THE GREELEY REVOLuTIoN-ITs UNPRBoE.
DENIED PR0GRESS

from the Chicago Tribune Greeley, July a.l
The revolution Is not confined to any section or
State or parts OF states is general It Is strong
among the people Of Vermont; is decisive in all
closely balanced States; is sweeping In all the 0p-
position States, and promises, before November TO
be overwhelming in oil the States There is no
local reason why Greeley should be more popular
In Illinois than In Massachusetts,; yet the revOlu-
tion in this State Ii astounding even TO his
friends. SO general and sweeping Is 1t that
there Is not at this time Congress
sional district in this State in which the
friends OF Mr. Greeley DO not have the
strongest hopes of electlng their candidate. Sew
eral districts which in 1858 gave Grant majOrities
by the thousands are, even at this early day, con-
sidered safe for Greeley. AS to the electoral vote
Of this State being given for Greeley, there Is no
doubt The Greeley State ticket and u Legislature
Throughout the Union enough Is known to render
1t certain that the following States are hopeessly
lost to Grant:-Delaware, Maryland, Virginia. West
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas,
diana, Illinois. Wisconsin, California Nevada,
Connecticut, New Hampshire, Florida-mak-
ing Ill electoral votes. In addition to these
those who have reason to know have no hesitation
Pennsylvania by 30,0OO and New Jersey by $4,000.
These States have seventy-three electoral votes.
These give him fifty electoral votes more than are
needed for an election
This has been accomplished within sixty days.
One-half OF which time was spent IN waiting for
Philadelphia to nominate some other candidate than
Grant In the four months yet to pass before the
election the revolution has ample time to be felt In
the other States. Already comes the cheering news
that Maine gives promise OF emanclpating herself
Rhode Island will certainly follow. In Michigan the
campaign has hardly opened and Minnesota may
already he enrolled for Greeley.

UNION REPUBLICAN GENERAL COMMITTEE.

Commencing Work In Earnest.
The regular monthly meeting OF the Union Rcpub-
lican General Committee was held last evening at
453 Fourth avenue, the President, Mr. Thomas 4.
Stewart, in the chair. After the usual preliminary
business had been transacted. such as calling the
roll and reading the minutes OF the previous meet
ing, resolution changing the name OF the
organization to that of the Liberal Republican
General Committee was passed. Another
resolution was adopted requiring the various
district associations to open books for the
enrolment Of all republicans In favor OF Greeley
and Brown who wish to join. somewhat lengthy
preamble and resolutions were put forward by Mr..
POlhimus, OF the Seventh district, ana unanimously
adopted. These reviewed and eulOgized the action
OF the democratic party in endorsing Mr.. Greeley
and pledged the everlasting and untiring support
OF the committee to the Sage of Chappaqua. Mr..
POlhimus backed his eflusOn in neat little Speech
which was warmly received, as indeed it must
needs have been, considering the thermometer
stood at 100 degrees in the hall. The Room Com
mittee were Instructed to secure what used to be
known as Mozart Hall, in Broadway, near Eleventh
street, as the future headquarters of the commit
tee, after which the meeting adjourned-nOt how
ever, until three hearty cheers had been given for
Greeley and Brown.

ST. LOUIS, July II, 1872
The Republican this morning says:-"The Bati-
more Convention, informally renOminating Gree
ley and Brown and readOpting the Cincinnati plat
form, departs slightly from the strict Missouri
policy but a policy which has received so many
endorsements of its substantial points and achieved
so many successes can well afford to acquesce in
this rining departure from Its strict letter. The
democracy will give the ticket the full benefit of
three millions OF undivided popular votes and the
electoral vote Of the fourteen admittedly demo-
cratic States and II the liberals shall, with the Aid
of the democracy, do more than effect change OF
Ave per cent In the popular vote of a few other
States already half estranged from the administra-
ton the campaign will end In triumph"
The Democrat says Greeley is in form, as well as
In fact, the candidate of the regular democratic
organization and by accepting the Baltimore nOm-
inatiOn he will not only sever his connection with
the party with which he has heretofore acted, but
deliberately repe the support OF that small body Of
well-meaning but misguided republicans whom he
had endeavored TO ho0dwink and lead blndfolded
