6pecsa1 Correspondence u The TRIBUNE
MILWAUKEE, July 81 am glad to tell the
rcaders of TIE TRIBUNE that news from al |
narts of the State is full Of promise for the re-
suit Of the coming Presidential campaign A
large number Of persons, formerly str'ct party
men, both Republicans and democrats, n"'e
recently declared their intention to vote IRE
spectiye Of party, the one being tired OF corrupt
officials, and the other afraid OF confederate
rule in Congress. These, With whisky sore
heads, and the chronically dfsaifected, and In
dependents, and Liberals, and Reformefs' anu
the hundred atoms Of party that arc or11tlng
about the horizon Of politics, make up very
large proportion Of the voting element. Close
observation, inquiries among these men then-
selves, and the tone Of the papers processing
freedom Of party, have enabled me to come 70
the conclusion that the nomination OF Henor1eks
has sent this great multitude scnoolng over ~
the Republican shore. There are other reasons
besides the nomination Of Hendricks tnat !cao
to This conclusion First, it must be remember
ed that very large proportion O. those VINO
rrononnced themselves loosened from party
tics had no other reason than the desire 10 see
smother set of men In power. Probably nine
tenths Of the mechanics OF the c1ty
who are not in some way tied to
nartv have for long time resolved
that a change Of administration is the unknown
n,nacea for the country which alone can bring
1nck prosperity and hnppincss, and with that view,
ali other things being equal, intended to vote the
ncmocrattc ticket. This feeling found strong e3-
nresston last fall, but it was not then realized
Tint the Confederates were going to capture the
House and run It in thf faey NO;
