.,1,,,od uith Republican politicians, with q
..,,s sprinkling of Democrats. Everything
-. muadle IN respect to the nomination OF
..ndidste for Governor, but the sky may clear
mn. before my later dispatches. In the mean
t,ms I will touch upon general topics. Republi
cans who ought to know the opinions Of their
marty seem to feel confident that they can carry
this State, ond can elect Hayes. Some OF those
who talk thus are merely Dragging Others are
sincere. The latter class In regard to this state
base their opinion on the assertions that they
have united the party and brought back the
great body Of the Republicans who supported
Greeley four years ago tn q they will get many
Democrats In the canal counties, and some hard
money Democrats on the resumption repeal oy
the House. AS to the nation at large, they seem
to rely upon the financial issue In the West,
upon the support OF Liberals like Schurz and
Fenton, and more par .iculsrlv upon the waving
Of the tattercd haps OF the bloody shirt. They
also say that their canvass will be more active
and aggressive than that OF the Democratic.
They claim that they will cert ainy carry Ohio,
and probably Indiana, in October. After repest-
ing that prominent Repu blioans talk IS though
they really believed oil this and were sure to
carry New York and elect Hayes, give their
predictions for what they are worth.
In talking with clusters OF lcsding Republi-
oans who make these predictions, 1 always
notice that there Is here and there one who
says nothing, and know that some OF these
latter are for Tilden. / nm absolutely certain

surveys the whole State and know that they
are deceived.

not to know that his sun has set. He pretends

Governor. Perha aps be Is. We shall see the eI-
tent OF this influence when the tug OF war comes
tomorrow. The candidate who supposed

has arranged to send on $4,000 Immediately
Now, do not know that he has done tny such
thing, but do know that this report is started
by Morgan's friends among the delegates, and
that II Is helping him. As Cornell Is poor, he
was put on the National Committee at Cincin-
natl instead OF Morgan, aud this was done
at the special request OF the supporters OF
Conkling; but In tho Indiana emergency
Morgan can shell out and Cornell cannot
IL would be queer II. In this waS, Morgan
should cut Cornell out Of the nomination. A
pious man like MIR. Weed would regard IL as q
measure OF retributive justice to the amount OF
$1,000, and money well srent; too, especially u
