otherwise undecided as to whom he Will
support but the probability is strong that
he will GO for Grant. ,-.
The printers of San Francisco, CAL, have
formed an association to further the cleo
ton of Greeley and Brown.
The poet Ell. w. Longfellow is Greeley
man and was a delegate to the Liberal
State Convention recently held IN Massa-
chusettS.
a poll of the actual voters on board the |
steamship Adriatic, taken in mid-ocean |
while westeru-bound, showed that the |
two parties would be REINFORCED by the |
arrival of the ship, as follows: Greeley, |
81; Grant, SO.
Speaking of the Louisville side-show, the
Boston Post says that its delegates repre-
sented nothing and no one, its proceedings
received the endorsement of no definite
portion of the public, and it was a Con-
VentiOn without an origin as it was also
| without an end.
The Hon. Homer A. Nelson, formerly
| Secretary of State, in recent interview,
| expressed his conviction that New FORK
| will give Greeley and Brown a majority
Of from $4,000 to 100000, and that all eff
forts to divide the Democratic vote will
prove futile.
The ssSenator Bayard'' who has been
'sgawping" so loudly in Grants Side-ShoW
| az Louisville is not the United States Sem
| ator from Delaware, but member OF the
| Delaware State Senate, a man unknown
until the Grant papers sounded his name.
| United States Senator Bayard warmly sup
| ports the regular Democratic Republican
| Ticket
AS an evidence of the great popularity of
the reform movement, even in the most
noted Republican strOnghOldS, it may be
stated that the Liberals in Massachusetts
now figure up four Congressional districts
that will elect anti-Grans candidates, and
that even Mr. Dawes chances Tor re-elec-
ton are not of the very best.

the State Of Maryland have announced
their determination to support Greeley and
