shouting and working for Greeley, the n. Y.

"Secretary Boutwell, returned to his official
duties ON Monday from Massachusetts, and
gives as his impression Of the political situation
in the East, after talking with many shrewd
politicians, that General Grants majority will
be greater than Il was four years ago. The
Democrats are demoralised over the Greeley
movement and many,will vote for Grant in
preference. While in New York, Mr.. Bout
well conversed with many influential men,
bankers, merchants, lawyers and others, and all
agreed the State would give Grant large ma
jority and that there Is every prospect that the
city will also be carried against Greeley. Re-
ports received here from other States are equal
ly encouraging. From Missouri assurance is
given that the State is sure for Grant by twen-
ty thousand, and bis majority In Ohio is estima-
ted above fifty thousand. The. National Re
publican Executive Committee feel confident
that, with the endorsement of Greeley by the
Baltimore Convention, the success of Grant and
Wilson Is assured" rin II, +
