Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer.
A TOUR IN THE NORTH.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1S, 1872.
After writing MY last letter to the ENQU1-
RER from Nashville, Tennessee, started out
for little trip in the North. I left Nash
vile on the 9th of July, and came on to
Cincinnati, stopping over night at Louisville.
Louisville is smart city, of over hun
dred thousand population, and entering into
lively competition with Cincinnati for the
control of Southern trade. The great Demo-
cratic organ of the southwest Courier
Jo,unal-is published there, whose master
mind is Henry Watterson. To such of the
readers of the ENQUIRER as saw portrait
of Mr.. Watterson in late number of Har-
per's Weekly, I will state that the likeness is
a good one. Mr.. Watterson is from the
mountains of Tennessee, and is only thirty
two years Of age.
Coming on to Cincinnati, I crossed the
great railroad bridge at that point for the
first time. Upon the train was the Mississip-
pi delegation to the Baltimore Convention,
and fragments Of other Southern delegations.
They were all for Greeley, of course, and said
that they were going to bring the North "up
to the scratch" as we'll as come up to it them
selves. How we'll they succeeded the readers
of the ENQUIRER are aware. MIR. Greeley
and the Liberals are indebted to the South
for the Inauguration Of the Liberal movement,
and it is the South that will push him forward
to triumph.
I remained in Cincinnati two days. The
city is getting to be good deal like Pitts
burg, black cloud of smoke hanging over it
all the time. 1t is now the third largest man.
ufacturing city on the continent.
Right across the river from Cincinnati, is
Covington, the second largest city in Ken
lucky. Within a radius of ten miles from
the centre of Cincinnati, there is population
of over three hundred and twenty thousand.
Politically, there is vast difference be-
tween Cincinnati and its neighbors over the
river. Ohio is strongly Republican and Ken
lucky strongly Democratic. Kentucky will
60 for Greeley by majority Of forty thous-
and. Ohio will be close, with the chances in
favor of Grant The regular Republican ma
iority is between twenty and thirty thousand.
I came from Cincinnati to Cleveland on a
fast train, part Of the way over new road,
and all the way through a charming country.
Ohio is very rich State; rich in population,
soil, natural advantages, and manufacturing
interests Although one among the compar-
atively new States of the Union, the tax books
show total of real and personal property to
the value of two thousand millions Of dollars
Cleveland is beautiful city Of about one
hundred thousand population, situated on the
southeastern shore of Lake Erie. In 1860
the population was about forty-two thousand.
The rapid growth of the city is owing to its
manufacturing interests.
From Cleveland I took the Atlantic and
Great Western road, and proceeded as far as
Olean, New York. Wanting to see some
thing of rural New York and Pennsylvania,
1 hired horse and buggy and drove twenty
eight miles into Mexican county, Pennsylva-
mia, making the distance in four hours, the
roads being good and the horse considerable
of traveller. The whole country through
which I passed is improving very rapidly.
Wages are good, money plenty and the coun'
try prosperous. made some inquiry about
wages, &C., and learned that men and teams
got four dollars and half day, men two
dollars day and boys from sixteen to twenty
dollars q month and board.
After rambling about in the woods of Penn
sylvania few days, returned to western
New York, and went thence to the black and
thriving city of Pittsburg. There I took the
Pennsylvania Central road for Harrisburg,
and came thence through Baltimore to Wash
ington.
The readers of the ENQUIRER are of course
more interested about politics than anything
else, and I will sum up the result of my OBJ
servatons in few lines.
New York and Pennsylvania 1 consider
certain for Greeley. The State election in
the latter State is in October, and I met
many Republicans who conceded that the
State is lost to them. From ten to twenty
per cent. of the republican vote will 60 tor
Greeley. While in the State met Dr.
Freeman, who has resigned his position as
Grant elector for the Nineteenth District, to
support Greeley, and he gave me the names
of forty-one republicans in two small districts
of one county who will support Greeley.
All over the State the radicals are more or
less despondent, and the democrats cores
pondingly jubilant. Hartranft, the radical
nominee for Governor, is very unpopular, and
cannot command the strength of his party,
while his opponent, Buckalew, is strong
man and can carry all of his own party and
a good many of the republicans. He is GER
tain to win in October, and Greeley is certain
to sweep the State in November. I come
back from the North with the belief that
Greeley will be elected, belief that was not
