Political Notes.
Horace Greeley has written letter
accepting the nomination of the Balti-
more Convention
The Radicals have lost all interest in
Dan Voorhees, since his last speech at
Terra Haute.
Hon. T. a Hendricks, democratic
candidate for Governor of Indiana, open
ed the campaign in that State by great
speech at Indianapolis on last Saturday
night.
A special dispatch from Washington
to the Boston 7Fareler, states that Mr..
Sumner has written letter to Gardner
Bremen of Boston, coming out in favor
of Greeley and Brown and against Grant
strongly.
THE Henderson Reporter is the only
Democratic paper in Kentucky that has
bolted the Baltimore nominations. Eve
ny Democratic exchange in the State,
with this exception, has placed the ticket
at the head of its columns, or heartily
Endorsed the action of the convention.
Elk Gov. Blair Of Michigan, Repub-
lican member Of Congress, in his recent
speech at Jackson, Michigan, said that
"this administration is simply damnable,
and no other words can describe it r.
And Gov. Blair knows whereof he
afirms
The prospects of the Grant party in
North Carolina must be growing worse
very fast. 1t is now reported that they
have increased the corruption fund for
that State from sos, 900 to over $780,
600. As their chances for success go
down the peoples money goes likewise.
Hon. Alex. Mcclure, who should GER
tainly be well informed, reports the most
encouraging prospects for the coming
election in Pennsylvania. 1t is not now
a question as to whether Hartranft will
be beaten in October, but how large the
majority will be against him Of course,
in the event of the defeat of the Came
ron ticket, tie State will go to Greeley in
November.
The German democratic organization
of New York city has pronounced for
Greeley and Brown with great unanimi-
ty and enthusiasm. Only one member
of the committee bolted Their resolu-
tions also declared that it is not an agi-
tation of one party against another, but
rising of the people against corruption
and usurpation-a struggle of patriotism
against corrupt administration.
Democratic and Liberal Republican
papers in the East team with letters from
Grant committeeman and electors, ex-
Senators and other magnates, and vete-
ran leaders of the Republican party who
announce their adhesion to Greeley. The
landslide is especially tremendous in
New York State.
Ashtabula county, Ohio, the home of
the veteran Giddings, is conceded to be
the strongest Republican county il the
State. 1t is an encouraging fact, howev-
er, that the Republican newspaper hay-
ing the largest circulation in said coun-
ty, has hoisted the flag of Greeley and
Brown, and ii is estimated that fully
twenty per cent. of the Republican vote
will go the same way. All through what
is known as the Western Reserve the
Liberal movement is rapidly advancing.
and as niue men out of ten 10 that sec
ton have read the Tribune for the last
twenty years, its old editor is sure to be
gratefully remembered at the polls.
Reliable information from st. Law
renee county, New York, says that Gree
ley and Brown will receive about the
entire Democratic vote estimated at 4, 100
Out of 10000 Republicans in the coun-
ty, list has been made of 5000 who
are pledged to the support of the Gin
cinnati ticket. Aud still the good work
goes on.
Even the New York Times, which has
obstinately refused to see any Liberal
Republicans in that State, is now able to
discover some evidences of a popular
revolution not particularly pleasing to an
organ of the administration The fact
is, there has never been an atom of doubt
in regard to New York. She is as GER
tain for Greeley as Kentucky.

executive committee composed of Liber-
ais and Democrats of the State of Illinois.
say they are in possession of information
that gives satisfactory reasons for them
to believe that a majority of the people
of that State are opposed to the cleo
ton of Grant, and all that is necessary
to insure the success of the Liberal tick
cts is organization and the diffusion of
sound political information. The cleo.
ton of Keomer, governor, is no longer
matter of doubt. The detection from
the radical party is perhaps greater in
Illinois than any other State.
