a. follows:-
RDP0RTKR-what Ii the strength Of Grant In your
State, Governor
feel certain Of carrying the State in his favor.
There are NO indications Of Grant losing the State
Everything is 40 yet somewhat unsettled and
chaotic, but we feel confident that we shall more
than make good any losses in ranks by recruits
nom the democrats. The leading democrats go for
Greeley. They. however, ind II much more difficult
to transfer the votes of the rank and fle to one
stay-away from thepolls party Of the democrats

Eaton and NJ Hubbard take this Greeley dose with
many wry faces, while the less alae and less honest
portion OF the party pretend to like 1t. They have
been out OF Office for twelve years, aud as 1t looks
warm and comfortable inside they Will make any
sacrifice TO get hold Of the ofces nom which they
what proportion OF the republicans win go for
Greeley"
"The Greeley detection is like the stories Of
mosquitoes and fever and ague--thcy always have
them in the next town. 1t is like the tgnts Tdtuus
chase IT down and 1t suddenly disappears
know OF no republicans IN Hartford Of any following
who are going for Greeley. know Of no defec-
tons In other parts OF the State except from dis
appointed Office holders. Every man who has been
turned out OF Office for the last twelve years
thinks the republican party is fearfnlly democrat
tied, and that all the honesty left 1t when they
did,"
"who is the Hon. David Clarke, who appears to
be the leader OF the liberal movementY"
'Oh, David as we call him. Well, ne was an OLD
whig, who made o fortune In selling out groceries,
who was afterwards democrat, changing mainly on
the temperance question: and who became republic t

time for him, but who has not as yet been noml-
mated FOR any Office. think he has not voted for
three four years at all. He was selfconsututed
delegate to Cincinnati and pretends TO have given
two or three hundred Thousand dollars to benevo-

Tfyon ask any Hartford man that question he

say oh, that's David = That is all l have to say
republican ranks, unless you name David A. Wells
and Charles J. McCurdy Wells, the latter OF
whm has been the strongest opponent OF
Greeley and his principles III the United States
for years, and now advocates his election, on
what grounds am not aware think the action
with influencing him. He has been q republican,
but has taken no active part in the State politics OF
Connecticut. His reputation, so far as ! know is
good. know OF nothing against him. The demo-
cratic papers all support Greeley, and the repub-
ncan papers all support Grant, so far as know, in
con what grounds do you base Your theory that
there will be detection In the democratic ranksG

and therefore not enthusiastic; while our side
Is fighting only for old principles. For myself be-
that we shall carry the State by q handsome ma
jOrity next fall. Mr. Ferry, 0ur new Senator, is q
strong and honest republican, and will vote for
Grant and take part in the campaign II he Is able"
"What is General Hawley dong ~
"He Ii in Europe but will be home in a few days,
and will take an active part in the campaign.
need not say he Is Grant man,"
