CAMPAIGN NOTES.


tsyThe Albany Journal says: "New York
will cast her vote for Grant by majority as
overwhelming as was ever recorded for any
Presidential candidate in the State"
ssss- -stannard, Caledonia County, Vermont,
is the banner town of the State. 1t did not
cast single Democratic vote at the late
election. Goshen, Addison County, gave
7S Republican votes and one Democratic.
"a" There are more than q score Of Grant
Clubs In the city Of New York, composed
exclusively OF Democrats. Intelligent poll
tleians believe that General Grant will re.
celve more than 10000 Democratic votes In
the metropolis.
~ The antl.Greeley bolt 10 Georgia
seems to be growing in force and obstinaey.
A late letter says that clubs pledged to op.
pose the Chappaqua philosopher are numer-
Gus, and that the disatection throughout the
State is incurable.
"a The New York Times offers TO donate
$4,000 to the chidren's excursion fund II 1t
does not prove the statement that j. Russell
Jones gave land to President Grant to be
false. The Tribune to pay q like sum pro-
vided that the Times proves its falsity.
~ Samuel Ashton, Esq, is one Of the
Oldest and most active Democratic leaders
of this city, and is a member Of the present
Board of Cook County Commissioners. We
publish letter from him to- day, giving ex-
preston to his disgust at the Greeley conspi-
racy, and declaring that, under the peculiar
circumstances, he feels that he cannot do
better than vote for Grant. This is a sensi-
BILE and patriotic conclusion.-Ch Chicago jour
nal
! .zS5@M Mr.. Greeley, some time ago, compli-
\ I
servation that "in those dark years when the
stakeholder ruled from Boston to New Or
leans, the Democratic party cheerfully wore
| his collar and when he fell from power it
| still howled and barked at the heels of the
nation throughout the long and agonizng
| struggle for life. This virtue at least it had
! the fidelity with which an i'll treated cur
! sometimes follows 4 brutal master, and it is
faithful yet"
! .57g-The earnest efforts OF the Greeley Or
| gans to convince themselves that the defeat
they received in Maine was a thinly. disguised
| blessing, reminds an exchange of the gentle
man who, being mistaken for another, was
/ severely beaten by a ruflian. When the eX-
| escise had ceased he seized his castigator
warmly by the hand, eXclaiming: "My dear
sir, allow me to thank you. I've been the
! victim of dyspepsia for some time past, and
!
! good"
.ss-A recent New York dispatch says:
"The example Of Ben Wood, in paying
81 900 for bet money on a bet of $4,000 that
| Greeley would be the next President, is being
followed by many other persons at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, Astor House and other
resorts. Bets amounting in the aggregate
to SD, 900 were compromised this afternoon
and evening, by men who wagered on Gree
! ley paying from eight to fifteen per cent. for
release. One bet of 800 was compromised
by the Greeley man paying S1S."
y-General Banks signed letter to the
soldiers of the country not long ago, which
stated some facts that are not affected by
his own recent recreancy. The document
says: 1--WE congratulate ourselves upon the
fact that the Government during the past
three and half years has been administered
by one of our comrades, who has shown
wonderful civil capacity in aiding in the
reduction of the public debt; in conducting
/ our foreign affairs with great skill, so that
we now stand at peace with the whole world;
/ in preserving peace in sections OF our country
where sentiments were entertained calculat-
ed to disturb the reorganization of the
states lately in rebellion"
"a" Just before the election, Mr.. Kimball,
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Maine, wrote: "The Republicans claim a
majority of 5000, but / don't think they ex-
peet to get more than from 6,000 to 10000" "
He also expressed confidence that the major
ity of 1S6S-in round numbers 20,O0O-would
be reduced to about 5000; and he adds, "If
we do this, II will show a change sufficient
to carry one-third more States than we need
to elect Mr.. Greeley" 1t would have re-
quired pretty close figuring to work any
such result, even from the assumed starting
point. But the point was not found. The
majority in Maine Is double Mr.. KimbalPs s
estimate, and instead of indicating Greeley's
election, it assures his overwhelming de-
feat.
sas@ A recent letter from Long Branch, de-
scribing an interview with the President,
says the result of the Geneva Conference
meets his expectations fully, and should, he
thinks, be cordially accepted by the people.
The contest, as he expresses it, was not for
dollars and cents, but the preservation OF
amity between England and this country,
with full and firm maintenance of our ma
tional dignity. These points have been
achieved, and our nation should be sat
ished 1t would have taken but little
to have involved the two countries in 9
war that would have been more ter
rlble, more onerous than any war of
this century. We are now at peace with
the world, and peace is the synonym of pros
perity. Upon matters connected with the
present political situation the President
talks with the same unreservedness. The
story about Cuba raising money to be eX
pended in helping the election of Greeley,
with the understanding that Greeley's weak
Administration would acknowledge her in
dependence, struck him as q most ridiculous
canard-qute as ridiculous, in fact, as his
own reported wire-pulling in connection
with the Louisville Convention.
ssy~ Henry Wilson has denied emphatcal
ly that he has ever held any Credit Mobiliel
stock, or that he has ever had any property
in the Pacific Railroad or any other railroad
or corporation which has appeared before
Congress for action. Mr.. Blaine has made q
similar denial, and when the whole matter il
sifted down, says the Inter Ocean, it will prob
ably be found that the charges a canard got
ten up for political purposes, and which ha;
fallen as far short OF its mark as its predeces
sors have of theirs. Gen. Garfield has added
his name to the list of those who deny evel
! having received any Credit Mobilier stock
for services rendered in Congress, or for any
thing else. The Boston Journal of the 1Stf
contains an address from Hon. Oakes Amei
|, to his constituents, in which he gives un
qualified denial to statements to the effeci
that he gave stock to members of Congress
to induce favorable legislation. He state;
that these charges were made several year,
ago and answered under oath at the time BY
himself and other gentlemen of the highes
responsibility and character. That there
was no truth in the charges; that the list o
names given as recipients of stock upon thu
back of his letter were not written or fur
nished by him, and that the statement tina
he had given or shown such list of names
is unqualifedly false.
