Friends in Connecticut declare there
Is no reasonable possibility OF the de
feat Of the Greeley Electoral ticket in
that State The Liberal Republican
strength there is large it has been Ell
fcieutly organized the canvass is
thorough, and the first evidences Of
their work in the town elections will
be found only forerunner of the
larger triumph they have in store for
us IL
New Hampshire sends news almost
equally cheering; ana il is certain that
with active work between now and elec
ton day, the Sta'e can be carried for
Greeley aud Brown.
For the promise in New Jersey we
refer to the Liberal Conference, yes
terday, in Jersey City. Leading Lib
eral Republicans and Democrats from
all the counties of New Jersey made
careful comparison of notes, and the
result was a clear conviction that, with
ordinary activity, nothing can with
draw from Greeley and Brown the
electoral vote OF that State. Leading
Germths declare chat 90 out Of every
100 German Democrats will vote for
Greeley and 20 out Of every 100 Ger
niau Republicans, proportion which
is sure to reyolntionize Newark and
Essex county. From one or two other
counties the returns were less satisfac
tory than could have been wished, but
the showing as a whole is in the high
est degree encouraging.
Adyices pnbIic and private, from
Ohio and Indiana indicate a state If
alfairat here alike surprising to US and
alarming to our opponents. Our
friends in Ohio, stimulated by the sue
cess ia Hamilton county, and by the
large reduction of the Grant vote in
the State, are resolved not TO know
when they are beaten. They firmly
maintain that they can carry lhe State
in November, aud while the enterprise
seems 20 rs at this distance difficult. e
not msossible, it IS for these spirited
Ohioans, who have already made so
gallant canvass, to show that nothing
IS impossible with this young and Wig
orous party, which Is sweeping into its
ranks the more liberal aud progressive
from all of the cid organizatious9
Indiana IS ours, ana can hardly be
wrestled from Us even by Morton ander
all his allies The confidence of our
friends is unlimited, bat it does not
blind them to the necessity of vigi-
lance. We count on the fifteen elect.
oral votes of Indiana as already GER
tain for Greeley and Brown.
Thus, with such encouragement at
the North, and with the solid South
standing firm, ou all hands the pros
pects brighten. We can win, in No
vember, if we will Do our Liberal
mean to keep up the fight
every where with the spirit shown in
Ohio and Indiana, and more lately
throughout the interior of New York? /
Do the Democrats mean to take warn
ing from McMullen, and deal promptly /
with their own traitors? Give us but |
these assarauces, and we ask no more.

60 10 ane Polls.

The Radical party is well organized
in this District and works like machine
ry. Mex; Tuesday they will cast their
solid strength, white aud black, lame,
halt, old aud young FOR the Grant elec
tors, and for Henry Houston for Con
gress There are many Democrats
who 10 not care to vote for Greeley
because he was not their first choice,
and many who may neglect voting for
Grassland because they think his cleo
ton Is sure thing. Knowing this to
be the feeling, we feel 1t our duty to
urge upon every Democrat, Liberal,
and Conservative, the importance Of
going to the polls, aud casting their
suffrage for Horace Greeley for Presi
dent, and Edward Grassland for Con-
gress. Retween Greeley and Grant no
Democrat should hesitate. Greeley Is
the chosen chisftain Of The party which
offers every term of honorable friend
ship to the South he is the nominee
Of our friends and our party, and We
should wave individual opinions and
objections, to the great national inter
ests at stake. The eongregated wis
dom Of our friends at Cincinnati and
Baltimore designated him as the stand
ard bearer for this campaign, and if
we hate Raaiealism we should rally to
bis standard aud not suffer the defeat
Of the Liberal IDEAS which he repre-
sents
We are as certain of Judge Cross
lard's reelection as the mind can well
nevertheless there are those who
figure up tie possible triumph Of
Houston, The Radical nominee, through
a supposed division in the Democratic
ranks. Our information is that Cross
land will carry the almost unanimous
Democratic vote ia every county of the
District. But those who figure up
chance for Houston say, MARTIN will
carry 5000 or 4 600 Democrats that
1000 or 5000 Democrats will stay at

WHAT ruE TRIBUNE CLAIMS.


WHAT THE TRIBUNE CLAIMS.
New York special Cincinnati Gazette.
The Greeleyitos have recently mani
tested au increased hope of carrying
this State, owing to complications in
the Mayoralty. The Tribune has an
editorial claiming New Hampshire,
Connecticut Ohio and Indiana as sure
for Greeley. and urges Greeley friends
10 keep up courage.
EEPoRrs FROM OHIO AND INDIANA.
New York special Chicago Tribune.
The Liberal and Democratic mana
gers are in daily receipt Of encouraging
letters from ali the Southern States,
except South Carolina, while New
York, New Jersey, Indiana, Con>ectl-
cut and New Hampshire are claimed
FOR Greeley with confidence. From
Ohio assurances multiply that the con-
test there is close and doubtful.
II is admitted here by Democratic
leaders that Greeley's chances depend
on the action of the old Democratic
party, and thatif it pollsits full strength
he will be elected. They are satisfied
with the numbers and irmness of the
Liberal Republicans.
Governor Hendricks writes from In
diana that Greeley will surely carry
that State. Hon. j +. Mcdonald, Of
Indiana, expresses the same opinion,
and also that Ohio IS by no means sure
for Grant. The Administration party,
with Simon Cameron assistance, are
at work corrupting voters of New Jer,
sey, but two eanvasses made by Liber=
ais and DeAacrats give Greeley over
six thousand majority.
Fhe aetiSity of Grant 4zreenbacks at
present seems to be couincd to New
Jersey. Connecticut, North Carolina
and New York City. Victory on that
side is considefeG so certain that all
