NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Governor r. B.
Lindsay, of Alabama, is here on business
connected with railroad matters of that
State. He says, regarding the political Sit
u2tion: 81 firmly believe the electoral vote
of Alabama viii be cast for Greeley, but
the struggle will be hard and close. The
two parties, Qemocra attic and Radical,
are very nearly balanced. Two years
ago l was elected Governor by a
majority of only about fifteen thousand
out of poll of over one hundred and
fifty thousand votes, and yet I re-
ceived eighty thousand more votes than
Horatio Seymour received for the Presiden-
cy two years before. Since my election
many whites have emigrated to Texas, and
not a few negroes have immigrated into
the State from North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, and nevertheless l believe Greeley
and Brown will carry the State by larger
majority than l did. The stay-at-home
voters who, in 1870, failed to vote, and who
numbered over fifteen thousand, were most
ly Democrats. This year most of them
will vote. In the three counties
that contain the largest number of
white Radicals, Mobile, Madison and Dali
las, they are q goodly number of Liberal
Republicans and Radicals, who have nom
mated formidable State ticket. Not one
of their nominees for State officers is either
a carpet-bagger or negro. Perfectly sure of
the carpet bag and negro vote, they have Sc
lected men of long residence in the State
and moderate views in order to catch as
many white votes as possible. The
Democrats are going to support
Greeley in mass, believing this
to be the best thing they can DO
under existing circumstances, and
the surest means of getting rid soon of un-
constitutional Congressional interterences
in State affairs. l know of but one old
Democra. Of prominence bent on support.

very much question whether the straight
ont electoral ticket will Oe run in Alabama,
even should the coming Louisville Con-
vention nominate for President Charles
O'Conor. The Democrats of Alabama
cannot afford to contribute 10 the re-elec-
ton of Grant by voting for candidates that
have not the ghost Of a chance of cleo
ton.

William NJ. Coleman, who was elected
by the Republicans of North Carolina At
torney General of that State in 1868, has
just declared for Greeley, and his example
will be followed by hundreds OF the most
prominent citizens. A prominent North
Ca1o DINA Liberal says that there is no doubt
of large Greeley majority in that State in
November.
