PREPARING FOR DEFEAT.

There is no doubt that the Greeley-ites
are dismayed at the result of the State
elections so far held, and are giving up
the election of Greeley as hopeless task.
They can neither raise speakers nor funds
to carry on the campaign, and are look
ing about for some scapegoat to bear the
shame of their defeat. Says the Washing
ton Cd. CO. Republican in a late issue
"Mr, Ramsdell in a letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial, from this place, says the
fact that Mr.. Greeley has been losing
ground rapidly since the North Carolina
election cannot be denied. He is alarmed
and uses very harsh language in giving
the causes for such condition of the Gree
ley campaign. This fear and trembling
of Mr.. Ramsdell is very significant when
it is remembered that he is the Tribune's
correspondent at this point, and receives
his inspiration from the home Office Of
the personal organ. Listen to what he
says"
There seems to be feeling quite prevalent
among Ootn the supporters ana opponents oil
Greeley that he is gradually losing ground.
This feeling began to manifest itself about a
week or ten days ago, and is not confined to
Washington. When inquiry is made as to the
cause OF the falling off of the Greeley strength,
nobody is able to account for it or explain it
but there is no doubt that the feeling exists.
and that nearly everybody, without knowing
the reason why, has felt impressed with the
fact.
1t cannot be denied that those who are con-
ducting the campaign on the part of the Lib
erals are letting it SO by default and the
sooner they are made aware of it the better it
will be for the cause. All the Greeley com
mittees seem TO be waiting, delaying, putting
off the work which must be done if the party
hopes for success. They seem 10 be blind or
ignorant of the fact that organization is neces-
sary. They seem to think that because there
are majority of the voters in the United
States opposed TO the reelection of Gen.
Grant, it is only necessary to wait Until the
election, in order to secure them for Horace
Greeley. There is no reason why all the
elements Of this opposition should not be con-
centrated in Greeley, except the oyeTconf-
dence, apathy, or incompetency of those to
whom the management of the canvass has
been intrusted. $
Whatever else may be said of the Grant
party, il must be admitted that they are at
work-hard at work; and they are fully inr

DOWN IN ALBANIA.

The news of the Maine election carried
joy to the republicans "way down in Ala
bama." The following letter which we
have received shows the interest that was
felt in that State over the result here. and
the gladness with which it was hailed,
and speaks cheeringly of the campaign in
that quarter.

WILSON,, on the 9TH day of November. We
down here in Alabama are doing our whole
duty in closely contested State. General
Grant carried this State in 1868, by 1880
majority, out Of poll of 100000, and this
year we expect to carry the State by 5000 to
10000 majority and give her ten electoral
votes to Grant and Wilson Many honest
democrats are going with us, and but very
few liberal republicans so called, for
Greeley, not one in this county OF 5000 votes.
The colored vote goes solidly for Grant and
Wilson, which is large, so am bound to
send you good news from Alabama, and it
seems the political sky is bright and bright

Ex-President johnson is still bobbing

Judge Stallo, an original liberal and re-
former, made sensation in st. Louis the

The Toledo Blade says that ''siuee it has
been announced that Greeley is coming West,
his friends have withdrawn all the bets they
made on Indiana and Illinois"
The democratic papers call Maine and

They have young man named Allen as
