South Norwaik, Conn.,, has declared for

Greeley and Brown campaign club. Ak1cs
Speaking Of the formation of a Greeley
and Brown club In MeIrisania, recently,
with Gustavus Levy as President, DR.. Lud-
wig link as Vice President, and r. Pfond
as Secretary, prominent German Repub-
lican says; "a healthy and enthusiastic
spirit has been aroused; and we predict.

Republicans whoaconstitute the elub.n 3 s.
A gentleman writing from Cayuga coun-
ty, n. T., says: "Having always been a
Republican, am sneered and denounced
by my old allies as being bolter, and as
going over to the Democrats; but claim
that old issues are dead, and why fight over
again the battles of the rebellion? / write
you this letter to give you an idea Of the
general settlement in this locality. / give
this as my judgment, that if the Democrat
ic Convention at Baltimore rstifes the Gin
cinnati ticket, we shall by the 1st Of Aug
ust haze Greeley and Brown club in this
village, including one half the Republicans.
and four-ffths Of the Democrats in town."
More boiling from the Radical party in
the West; dispatch from Des Moines,
Iowa, announces that John A. Kasson will
run for Congress in that district against
Frank W. Palmer, the regular Republican
candidate. Mr.. Kasson represented the
district in the Thirty-eighth and Thirty
ninth Congress. BE is an active politician
and a popular canvasser, and with the as
sistance of the RefoImers will defeat his
competitor. The current is decidedly in
favor Of honest, Independent men, agains.

Says the Albany On. " argus: an
one ofthe five election districts in the town
of Manlius, Onondaga county, between fifty
and sixty Republicans signed q call for a
Greeley meeting" In subsequent issue
the argus says:
"a day or two ago we published letters
from w. w. Rockwell, of Glens Falls, re-
signing the Office of collector of internal
revenue, and also bis position as member
of tie Grant State Central Committee.
The reason given for his course was that he
could no longer support Gen. Grant, and
had concluded to do what lay in bis power
for the election Of Greeley and Brown.
Now we are called upon to record the re-
sgnation of another member Of the Grant
State Committee. S. c. Taber, Esq, of
Elmira, one of the most popular young men
in the southern tier, and one of the editors
and prcprietors of the Elmira Daily Adcer-
tiSeT, s Grant organ, has addressed letter
to A. B. Cornell, stating that he can no
longer train in the Grant ranks, and resigns
his place in the State committee. He has
determined to support the peoples candi-
dates, Greeley and Brown. Mr.. Taber has
held a prominent position in the Republican
party for several years, and his manly and
outspoken course will exert wide infu-
ence. That's the way the ball Is rolling!
Who speaks nextw
The Liberal revolution had its beginning
in the West, and it is there that the deepest
and widest traces Of it are to be found at
present; but it is making fine Roadway in
the land of steady habits. The Springfield
(Mass.) Republican says: s.- ---..-.
"Ifthe administration still cherishes any
hope Of saving Connecticut, it should lose
no time in commencing with Gen. Hawley
through Mr.. Fields cable. The emergency
justifies the expense, and whatever is done
must be done quickly. Liberalism is daily
cropping out in places which have been sup
posed entirely secure. OF course, all organ
reports are 10 be taken in these days with
liberal pinch of salt. But when we find such
bread-and-butter optmists as postmaster
Sperry unable longer to keep on with their
whisiling, we may be pretty sure that the
thing is getting serious. The latest reports
are, that ofthe two hundred and fifty Repub-
licans in Cheshire, ninety -four are Greeley
men: that thoro are 90 Greeley Republicans
in Hamden; that one-fourth of the Pros
pect and Woleott Republicans and a maio-
rity of those Of Naugatuck are in the same
boat; that Mr.. Ely, the Republican Mayor
of South Norwalk, has organized Greeley
club; that the clubs in Waterbury and
Meriden are steadily growing; and that
such veteran Republicans as Mr.. Clark, of
Southington. Mr.. William IL. Pond, of Mil
ford, DR.. Wolt9n, of Cheshire, and Mr..
Robert Benham, of Waliineford, have taken
the Liberal disease and actually seem to en-
joy it. Yet the Roderick of the Grant
party is idly lettering in the effete despot-
ism 8, as though there were no such beings
as Greeley men 10 the world " r..s.
