NOAhSs
Thomas P. Bocock is spoken OF as candi.
date for the Governorship of Virginia.
A very rapid change is said to be going on
among the voters ia Maine, and the Portland
argus says it is by no means improbable that
the vote of the State will be thrown against
Grant.
The Terre Haute Gazette, Liberal Repub-
lcan newspaper, places the ticket recently
nominated by the Democratic convention at
indianapolis at the head of its columns, and
pledges it its warmest support.
The Davenport Uowa) Democrat says the
German vote there will be unit against cor
ruption and Capitalization, and questions if a
hundred votes will be poled by the Teutonic
element in all Iowa for the gft-taker.
Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia. supports Gree
lev because by so doing he hopes to obtain a
Democratic majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives, candidates for which will be voted
for at the same time as the general ticket.
The Detroit Tribune administration ad-
mits that the accession of Governor Blair to
the Liberal party is important, and frankly
saws that he is zone of the most faithful and
distinguished leaders of the Republican par
~.
Mr.. Beck, M. C. from Kentucky, says the
people of the South believe that Greeley and
Brown will surely be elected, and if they are,
they will owe less to the politicians than any
President aud Vice President we have had for
many years.
The Liberal Republicans of Maine are pre-
fo boll he
bility is, that they will adopt as their candi-
date for Governor Mr. Kimball, the Democra-
tic nominee. The Administration party is a.
Harmed at the coalition.
The Greeley feeling is running high in
Yuma county, Iowa. The GRANTEES, disgust
ed with the brass-collar proceedings of the
county convention. which were engineered
solely by oficeholders, are daily joining the
Liberal Republicans.
An old subscriber of the New York Tribune
writes: ri have acted ardently with the Re-
publican party for twelve years past shall
vote for Horace Greeley 10 November, and
thousands of Republicans here in Michigan
will assuredly do the same"
letter from Governor FL. G. Warmoth, OF
Louisiana, says: ".rhe Liberal movement is
sweeping everything before it. The people
are pushing away the politicians and taking
the lead themselves, and, of course, the politi-
clans are dashing in behind
The Reformer, the Liberal paper of the
Hon. Frank W. Bird of Massachusetts, has
made its appearance. 1t declares for Greeley

the party in Massachusetts to which NJ Bird
belongs will repudiate Grant and Wilson.
Mr.. w. W. Rockwell, collector of internal
revenue of the Sixteenth District of the State

State committee, having resolved to support
the nominations of the Cincinnati Convention,
has resigned both the above mentioned posi-
tions.
A month ago wagers on Hartranft's election
as Governor:of Pennsylvania were pentifully
offered. To-day there is different state Of
feeling. Hartranft stock is materially below
par-no bets are offered on him. He is a
dead cock in the pit for which let the friends
of an honest State administration rejoice
The Baltimore Sun quotes letter from
Carson City, New, which says: "We shall
carry Nevada for Greeley and Brown. and
also turn out the leeches who are sucking the
ffe-blood out of our people by misrepresenting
rs in the Senate and expressing US in the
courts. Senator .Nye will hardly be heard of
in the approaching Senatorial contest"
The Rev. J. Sela Martin, of New Orleans,
delegate to the Philadelphia Convention,
bolts the Grant ticket and goes for Greeley.
From cumulative testimony which is being
daily received, there can be no longer any
doubt that the colored vote of the South will

considerable portion of it. In South Carolina,
Louisiana, Virginia. and Mississippi there are
influences at work among the colored people
which assure this result.
Says the New York Sun ''The North Caro-
lima Grant-Holden Legislature of 1869 au-
thorized the issue of bonds to the amount of
$24,046, 900. The total tax for that year was
ninety four cents to each one hundred dollars.
The Conservative Legislature of 1870, voted
for by honest Republicans and Democrats,
did not authorize the issue of single bond.
and imposed total tax of thirty-eight and
one-thrd cents. No wonder that the North
Carolina Democrats and Liberal Republicans
desire the election of honest Horace and the
removal of the Federal ofice-holders, who are
continually plotting for the restoration to
power of the Grant-Holden plundering ring"
+ A letter to New York firm. from a pro-
minent lawyer writing from Galveston, Texas,
says: "Nearly everybody here is for Greeley
and Brown, for through them we expect to
reach constitutional liberty and relief. You
may judge of the Affections we have endured
and our desperate condition now, when, with
one voice, we cheerfully and earnestly advo-
cate man who has theoretically and poiti-
cally, at least, been our bitter and lifelong
enemy, when all preconceived preudices
political bias, and preference are swallowed
up.in the great necessity of the hour-liberty
w have no time in the face of this all-absorb-
ing fact to define upon theories of govern
mental policy which are now exercising the
Northern mind"
A correspondent of the New York Sun,
writing from the White Sulphur Springs.
Virginia, over the somewhat well known mi
tials B. A. P, says: "Here we meet repre-
sentative men from every Southern State, and
here we collect the sentiment of the South
with infallibIe fidelity. Be assured that Horace
Greeley will carry every Southern State, with
the exception, certainly, of South Carolina,
and possibly of Mississippi In the whole
course OF my experience I have never known
the people ofthe South so unanimous, SO ZEAL
Gus. and SO determined in support Of any can
didate. The few dissentients of whom you
read ia the newspapers speak only for them
Selves Their voice is without an echo and
