OAMPAIGN NOTES.

Greeley's supportAfs from the Republican
pTty are simply few disappointed Office
seekers. But this piece of gammonShas al
ready run its race. The people are begin
ming to find out that Mr.. Greeley will draw
a large per cehtage of bis support from the
Republican party. We have heretofore
shown from the drift of the political cur
rent how Greeley was developing strength
in his own party. We gather few addi-
tional "straws" to-day:
The Portland ArgSs regards "the ques-
tion that Maine viii go for Greeley and
Brown as settled" and says it has informa-
ton which leaves no doubt upon that point.
To carry this State they will have to get a
pretty large Republican vote.
The Liberal Republicans of Summit,
Union county, New Jersey, organized a
Greeley and Brown Club on Monday even
ing, the LIST inst, electing E. N. Stebbins
President, E. q. Boughton Secretary, and
an Executive Committee, with e. 81. Flagg
| Chairman.
| In contradiction of statement by Ore
liable" correspondent of the New York
Times, that not Greeley man was to be
found in the oil region of Pennsylvania, the
Titusville Courier publishes this item from
the Oil City Register of Saturday: 'sFifty-
four Republicans in this city have given
their names in as favOring the formation of
a Greeley and Brown Club. There are
fully 500 of the same sort in Venango eoun-
ty, all firm supporters of Greeley, and fer
ninst' Grant"
Gan Original Republican" writes from
Wellsville, New York, July /: 81 am
not merely hopeful, but confident
that Allegany will give Greeley
and Brown her Democratic vote substap-
TALLY solid, and that we shall get more than
half Of the Republican vote. Steuben is
quite as good as Anegany; think a little
better. We are gaining in Cattarsugus and
Chautauqua, where we were already strong,
aud are making good beginning in Wyo-
ming and Livingston. The latter two

has commenced in both, and will proceed"
Speaking of the Liberal prospects in IFS
section Of Michigan, the Grand Rapids
Times says: "The stampede from TIE Reg
ular Old Line Republican ranks to Liberal
Republicans, in Jackson county, is worthy
of note. Gov. Blair is at the head of the
81 ho fat
for Greeley. The Hon. Amos Root
says that be was one of
the original Republicans in 1854,
and helped form the party under the 'Oaks
of Jackson and now he wants mass con-
vention of Liberal Republicans called at
Jackson, under the same 'Oaks, to. ratify
the nomination of Horace Greeley. The
Hon. Eugene Pringle talks the same way.
Every banker in jackson is for Greeley, and
nearly all the lawyers" .... .s
According to the New Haven Register,
Liberal Republicans are plenty in Connec-
ticut. 1t says:
"Tbere has been no special effort made,
but Greeley Clubs are bpringing up in all
| sections. New Haven county takes the
lead in this matter. Meriden, Waterbury and
| Birmingham have already organized strong
| Greeley Clubs, whose membership is signifi-
cant. Danbury has a club of $50 members,
| including one of the Representatives from
| that town. In every town in the eastern
| section of the State, there are Greeley Re-
| publicans. In Windham county the Gree
I ley strength is variously estimated at from
400 to 200. JUDGED, it is claimed that
| Greeley will carry the county, and We DO
not ind any Grant men who believe that
| they can carry Connecticut. The buster
of the Grant organs means nothing. The
| Republican party in Connecticut cannot /
+ ford to lose 50 voters here, and 100 here.
The loss of Danbury, Norwalk, and Meri-
! den, would put them in hopeless minOri-
| ty.
The New York Times processes to give
Greeley's strength among The Republicans
| of New York State, and sets down the num-
| Der of those who favor him as very small in
number. The Troy Press picks up the
statement that there are only twenty seven
Greeley men in Rensselaer, county, includ-
ing Troy, and says its reporter happened in
al the Greeley headquarters on River street
on Tuesday, the I'd inst, and was surprised
to find large number of prominent
Republicans who were working earnest
! ly in the cause Of reform. a
temporary organization had been formed
with NJ. NJ. Dickerman President, and De-
witt Churchill Secretary. Ninety-six

which are those of the following well known
Republicans: Joseph f. Simmons, II. NJ.
Hasbrook, H. A. Merritt, John B. Green,
George NJ. Taylor, Benjamin Starbuck, Ed.
L. Cole, Anthony Lawton, P. II. Bearman.
81. NJ. Dickerman, and A. G. Daniels. The
leaders of the club are confident of swelling
their number to 500, securing all from the
Republicans of the city. A ratification
meeting will be held within a week or two.
The New York Express says of Greeley's
prospects in the State:
"Two or three days passed among the
people of the interior of this State, espe-
cially along the Southern tier of counties,
adds to the conviction that Greeley viii

New York, and, with the aid of the Demo-
cratic vote, larger majority than any Pre-
sidential candidate here ever received in any
like contest The Democrats take to Gree
ley kindly, and so, in some Of the towns,
do one-half of the Republicans. We hear,
indeed, of towns strongly Republicans
where more than one-half of the voters
will support Greeley. Even Bourbon De-
mocrats and Bourbon Republicans are
giving way in the same direction.
1t looks in this State as if the great bitter
ness of the canvass would be confined to
the Grant and Greeley Republicans. Tue
result of the war has put an end to so
many sectional issues, that it will be hard
to find any reasons of craftsmanship or ma
tionality for supporting Grant as the cam
paign advances. 1t is "GTantism" upon
one side, aud which everybody now under
stands, and upon the other the rights of the
people, and Government of rings and of
fice-holderS. Where New York viii lead
in such contest, tens of thousands else
