Greeley in tie Northwest
IFrom the New York Sun.

Among the members of the recent an
ti-Gmut Conference at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel was Gel. Fitz Henry Warren, Of
Iowa, a perfect representative of grim
yisaged war tanned down 90 n peaceful
mood. The General has occupied his
time since the collapse at AppomattoN
| in heating his sabre into railroad iron,
and has succeeded in gridironing a large
portion of Western Vermont with the
product Like The majority OF the men
who did the fighting during the late un
! pleasautness, he came out of action with
duc appreciation Of the yalor and PROV
ess Of our Southern brethren, and pre-
pared to be proud of them rs fellow
coWtrymen. He is representative man
of the great Northwest, full of enterprise
and pluck prominent and influential in
his own State, and a faithful exponent
Of the sentiment of the people among
whom his lot is cast.
The following conversation occurred
between the General and reporter Of
the sun:
"Reporter-Do You really think that
Greeley will be elected
General Warren-I did not think so
at first, but now | am thoroughly con-
ynced that he will be the next President.
What have seen and heard in this con
/ ference convinces me of the ilattering
prospects throughout the country, but
my observations in my own State, where
am better competent to Judge, give me
a better criterion to go by, if the Cincin-
natl ticket can carry Iowa, it can sweep
the Northwest, and if it sweeps the North
west it will capture the entire country.
Iowa is the Republican stronghold ofthe
Northwest. 1t usually gives from iO,
600 to 10000 Republican majority |
estimate that this year it will give a ma
| jority for Greeley and Brown.
| EVEN IOWA FOR GREELEY AND BROWN.
Reporter-llow do you arrive at your
| estimate Of success in Iowa
/ General Warren-Of course | calcu
late on the Endorsement OF Greeley by
/ the Baltimore Convention. That will
give him the Democratic support. The
! Democratic party in Iowa has been so
] long IN the minority that they are com
/ pletey cowcd down, and of late years
/ have pnt forth no earnest effort TO recoy
cr themselves. With any prospect Of
success they can poll $4,000 votes The
Republicans poll from ll5,0G0 to l2O,-
600 This is largely q foreign vote
German, Norwegian and Swede. | don't
count the Irish vote This foreign ele-
ment manfests a strong sympathy with
| the Liberal movement. Moreover, many
Of the leading Republicans Of Tie State
who are native born have given in their
adherence The party has been badly
managed for years past In every coun-
ty there is clique or ring that has man
aged to get contrCi Of a,tair5 and monop-
Ollie the Offices. This has cansed very
geacral dissatisfaction So that the Gle.
ments OF discord in the dominant party
are already SO apparent that it is 4 mod
crate to count on such accesslons from
that source to the new Liberal party as
to make it majority. You will notice
that we have to change but 1000 or 90,
900 voters, and | think we shall draw
more than that number from the Grant
party
