iicans of Homer, and 'pledging their influ-
ence and support to the Liberal Reform
ticket" ....-.. .-
The New York World says: "There
are fourteen Republican papers in the State
of New York which advocate the election
of Greeley and Brown, and one Democratic
paper which has gone over to Grant. The
organs of Grant make as much fuss over
that one paper as though it carried the De
mocratic party with it, when in fact it was
never heard of ont of the assembly district
where it is published, until it gave its ad-
hesion to Grant. One against fourteen is a
uroportion that the anti-Grant side can
very well be contended with, considering
the fact that among the fourteen is the
ablest Republican paper in the State, and
that all are papers of influence in their Sec
tons" ~
Mr.. Alexander, formerly editor of the
Ne,o Hampshire Gazette, writes from Chic

whom do not know. On the floor where
our office is there are ffty-four voters, and
foty-eight of these are for Greeley: lawyers,
real estate agents and commission men.
That's the way the thing runs here. /
