CHICAGO, August 22.-As 1 stated i
a former letter, politics are about tn
last subject of conversation here. tn
bust up Of the wheat corner on Tuesday
is Of vastly more moment than tn
Presidential election, which is a matte
CT no concern, since there is a cOnvic
ton that it viii 90 one way in Illinois
Notwithstanding the detection of To
Times, the former deserved influence 0
which is much impaired by its presen
course. The happy combination of Dem
Oerats and Liberal Republicans upon tn
State ticket is producing good results
and only those who are fearful Of losing
position by, or have failed TO secure ;
nomination upon it, make any opposi
ton; and that is Of about as much fore
as the weak efforts Of the beggarly inde
pendents Of Tennessee. The blatins
Duncan Louisville movement finds bu
little favor in Illinois. The few wh'
here were inclined TO increase the littl,
family of smaller malcOntents
and who hung outside the fenc,

TO amount to, have gradually come int
the Greeley fold, acknowledging that il

know him, doesn't particularly care
whether the movement Is indOrsed by
twenty or only by five States. AssOcia-

cared for. He has had il, and is salts

ing Of toe boIting Democrats, whose
Leaders ave said to be in the pay Of the
United stats Treasury, will be so much
more than he bargained for, but will
never be enough to add anything to the
conioined fau7e of the two BIS
Blazing Brick and Blasted Blanton.
What a charming pair! With
their ambitions and itch for
notorietv it will be impossible for them
ever to drive In ta1dem-they must
move breast TO breast, a couple alto

both these creatures are well known and
understood, and giving theu fullest
credit for honesty and Intention IN all
their multiplied, and, a. in this case,l
stupid vagaries, they are looked upon as
a brace of fools with a few followers
either more foolish or knayish enough
10 give them support in the hope Of

OF the Tennessee Democracy is every
where regarded as a very proud one.
Standing shoulder 10 shoulder, without
any differences, they move solid and
therefore very influential phalanX for

a dozen times they have been the sub

The Liberal Republicans of the North

Cincinnati platform and candidates and
all the possibilities of the greatest polit-
ical movement in our history. watch
with unabated interest the course and
conduct of the Democracy of not alone
our state but of the whole South, fear
ing, Is 1 inumated in my first letter,
some untOWard event, because they
have not Yet learned 10 trust US implic

Brick POmeroy, and his aid, BlantOn
Duncan, have received in the old Con-
federacy has been subject Of cOngratula-
lion and felicitatiOn, and the unwaver-
Tug front Of our column in old Tennessee

few now talk Of an almost united South
for the peace ticket. The action of the
Dem Vcratic Convention at Nashville
on ", Wednesday in nominating a Lib
eral l,gr election has killed the
prospect for announcement Of
the Foot-B BdRner-C Ollyer-independ
movement. which was regarded with
some sympatby on account of the sup
posed sGubbtng of the Liberals by the
democrats. The conduct of General
Bate, in refusing the position Of elecJOr
in favor Of a Lib,sral, has also had fine
effect. Coming 1uOm a man like him,
identified by the people Of the North
with our extreme Democracy, his gen
erOus words are accepted as equivalent
70 the assertion, that we mean TO deal
fairly bv our allies. even although they
are not in numbers sufficient to carry
single county. Now the issue is fairly
up, and the full ticket is in the field,
particular attention should be given TO
the ragged and hungry independents, to
whom principle and people are nothing
50 their purposes can be realized. They
should be squeiched. No man, no mat
ter what his power or ability, should be
permitted 10 stand between the two pO-
litical combinations. The success Of the
Greeley ticket is a matter Of almost life
or death % the South, and he who IN the
least, under whatever guise, mars its
prospect, should be kicked into the OBJ
acurity whence he originally emerged.
