POLITICAL CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Illinois gave 51,15o majority for Grant in 1868.
The Greeleyites had better not count on Illinois.
The Wheeling Register says West Virginia will
give ten thousand majority for the Greeley electoral
ticket
The Indiana Sentinel thinks the State will give
Greeley 10000 majority. In 1868 1t gave Grant
II, 800 majority.
There are seventy-four political newspapers In
Arkansas, sxty-four OF which support Greeley and
ten are for Grant.
The principles for which the two parties are now
contendtng, more than ever before, are the five
l0aves and two fishes
The only Grant candidate in West Virginia was j.
Brisben Walker, who ran for Congress. He was
defeated by nearly three thousand majority.
The stockholders OF the New Orleans I'icdUlne
have decided to sustain the board Of managers In
the firm stand they have taken to support the Gree
ley and Brown ticket.
The Know Nothingfsm Of Hon. Henry Wilson In
1855 having been proven beyond the power Of con-
