In New York, Hon. Adam w. Kline, of Am
sterdam, Alexander Scott, supervisor in Mont
gomery county, aud VIM. F. Morrow of the city,
heretofore claimed as Greeley republicans, are
among the latest to notify the public that they
cannot support Greeley and Brown. The World
says, "the series of brilliant conversions" TO
Greeley has ceased. 1t will observe that the
series Of conversions from Greeley is Just now
very promising, and there are no indications
that it will cease Immediately.
Fl. j. C., Columbus, Ohio, writes: "The pros
poets here are Frightening every day. Enthusi-
asm among the republicans is widespread, and
it has not been equaled since the war, especially
among the young men. The tanners club, a
Grant organization here, now numbers 400
young men, many of them having lately been
democrats. Four years ago this association
numbered only 400 4 The man is a
fool who doubts which way this state will go in
November"
The Greeley republicans of New Hampshire
are beginning their return to the republican
party. One of them writes as follows: az can
not shut my eyes any longer TO the inconsistency
of the men under whose lead | looked for re-
FORM Greeley is not the man that | hoped he
was, nor is he acting as expected. MANY men
are with me in my DISAPPOINTMENT We feel
that we had better bide the ills we have than
flee TO those we know not Of" Another New
Hampshire man writes: "You need not be
anxious about New Hampshire We shall carry
the state high and dry. The last Greeley repub-
lican has come out-now it is our turn to show
converts. We shall show our hand at the proper
moment"
a letter from prominent republican of
johnson county, Missouri, says: "The ball has
begun rolling here, and is gaining in strength

will give a handsome majority for Grant. 1t is
my OPINION that not one of any ten liberal re-
pu0licanS OF two years ago who voted for Gratz
Brown Tor governor will vote for him for vice
president. All the sO-caed liberal republicans
OF two years ago are now Grant men. They
have become disguised with the treachery of
their leaders, and are determined to be misled
no longer. Especially are they disguised with
the administration of Gratz Brown as governor
at his dilly-dallying with the late rebel ele-
ment. The kukuX have not been SO bold for
years as they are now. What they would do if
Greeley. and Brown were elected heaven
knows"
Another letter from Missouri says: "The re-
bublicans in this part of Missouri linear st.
Louisl are very hopeful. The Germans are all
going for Grant with very few exceptions. In
one large brewery here there are tbirty-two Ger
mans employed, and all but five are 90
ing to vote the republican ticket All these
men two years ago voted the liberal ticket As
TO Gratz Brown being able to give aid to the
Greeley ticket, it is great blunder. The liber-
ais here are disguised with him. and many demo-
Gratis alike deteSt him. Il | know of
several democrats who say they will not vote
lof Greeey under any circumstances but will vote
Tor the Louisvenominees should there be one"
Joel Colby, one of the most honored and in
huential democrats in Somerset county, Maine.
has declared against Greeley in letter in which
he says: 81 am afraid to invest in that stock,
because it takes in all that rebel element which
sought the very lie of the government and
which was put down at the sacrifice of so many
valuable lives and so much treasure. / cannot
see why the country, to-day, financially, is not
in a fair aud prosperous condition. The national
debt is being reduced, business is good, the la
DOrlng mau was never better paid for his labor
than at the present time, and all the necessares
OF NE are now at very fair prices. | cannot see
any good in change of administration at this
time, but fear much evil. / prefer that the
party IN power now should continue so another
lour years at least Many of my democratic
brethren here are feeling as ! do aud am very
much mistaken if they do not with me vote for
the conqueror Of the rebellion this fall"
Col NJ. A. Bryson Of St. Louis made, in that
city, on Thursday night last, Il candid reply to
Senator Schurz's speech Of July %. in alludinr
to the cry that the north must be reconciled"
to the south, he said: "But Senator Schurz saws

We'll, we have been offering TO do il for seven
years. | ask him il any citizen the south has
been maltrcated in the north? What southern
man has been treated otherwise than as a gen.
