FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT


Mr. Greeley may now be seen daily at the
Astor House, where he has taken room con-
venlent to that of the Liberal Republican
Executive Committee, and where 1t Is his
purpose 10 keep his headquarters Tor the early
part of the campaign, at least. Visitors first
pass the ordeal of an examination by mem-
bers of The committee on duty, and IL 1t be
found that they are really such persons as Mr..
Greeley would care to see, they are conducted
to his presence.
The candidate reaches his new apartments
about ten o'clock in the morning, seats him
self at bis desk and opens his mornings mail,;
which, at present, Is prodigious. Letters
requiring answers are turned over toa score

few which Mr.. Greeley considers important
enough to deserve his own neat chirography.
He reads the morn ng papers exhaustiVely,
