To me EdffOr Of The tribune.
SIR: The people of Georgia are as sanguine
of Mr. Creclcy success now as before the October cleo
tous IL was not known then that he could carry either
Ohio Pennsylvania, or Indiana Now 1t is known that
he can carry Indiana, which will give friends
ddcnce TO work and carry it in November by decided
majority We do not even require Indiana TO elect
Mr.. Greeley for we feel confident here that
he will carry all OF the Border States. Missouri,
Arkansas Tennessee, Kentucky Virginia West Vir-
Rina Maryland, North Carolina. AS TO the Southern
states proper they are every certain to give their
electoral vote 20 Mr. Greeley but South Carolina, which
i.,n no sense Of the word State. The only border
state OF which there is any doubt is Arkansas the
eople arc allowed to vote there Mr. Greeley is to
carry the State and only 1000 1900 dis
franehsed by the election managers he will stl carry
