Q. What about Michigan?

@. What about Michigan?
A. In Michigan there is large party
of Republicans, the same party who re-
duced the Republican majority last year
from 10000 to 5000, and who opposed
and defeated the reelection of Zachariah
Chandler to the United States Senate,
who will now vote solidly for Tilden and
Webbe, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, who is a very popular man in
the State. The Democratic party in
Michigan has an admirable State political
organization, presided over by Don S.
Dickinson, an accomplished young law
yer. Their procession and display in
Detroit on Thursday evening last were
one of the largest and finest that have
seen during the whole of my travels. The
Democrats are very sangulne of carrying
the State. 1t is certain that if they dc
not the Republicans will have very
small majority in this, one of their own
strongholds.
WISCONSIN.
Q. What about Wisconsin?
A. Wisconsin, think, may be consid-
cred very doubtful State, chances in IA
vor of the Democracy. The German
vote will be cast solidly in favor ofTilden
Further more, large number of Repub-
licans who dislike the prominence of
Matt Carpenter in the party, and who
are opposed to the course of the admins
tration and the Republican party in re-
gard to Southern affairs, especially in
Louisiana and South Carolina, have pro-
nounced in favor of change, or, as they
term it, ''change of base to see how il
will work." 1t is the opinion of promi-
nent Democratic and non-partizans that
Tilden will carry the State by 5000 ma
jority. Last year Wisconsin gave a
small majority (S41) for the Republican
candidate for Governor Ludington. YOU
may certainly set it down as u doubtful
State, at any rate.
| INDIANA.
Q, How do things stand in Indiana?
A. 1t is certain to go Democratic by {
greater majority than at the last election
as Hendricks is more popular than Blue
Jeans Williams, being supported by thu
refined as well as the unrefined classes
You may set down Indiana sure for Til
den and Hendricks by from 5000 to 90,
900.
| ILLINOIS.
Q. About Illinois?
A. There is q large class of Republi-
cans in Illinois who are disguised witt
the administration for pardoning thos'
whisky men at Chicago, Moreover, they
do not hesitate to express their belief thai
the Republican candidate for Governo
Mr.. Cullum, has in some way been CON
nected with the whisky men in Pekin
He has been formally charged with this il
the canvass ,and neither he nor his friend
have attempted to refute it. On the Other
hand, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, Lewis Stewart, is Of the Blue Jea
Williams type, very popular among th
farmers, being leading granger, and is
: strong candidate any way. Furthermor
considerable dissatisfaction exists anon
the Illinois Republicans in regard to til
long continued domination of Gener;
Logan, Many are chafing under h
protracted rule, and are struggling to ca.
1 off his yoke. This class will succeed j
i. sending men to the Legislature, who wi
, go for a new deal in the United State
; Senator from the State. In the face {
Q over $4,000 majority for Grant in 1S7
0 you may think it strange for any one
: lpredict that it will go Democratic TIL
year, and yet l have found intelligeI
Democrats who are sanguine enough I
affirm this to be their belief.
MISSOURI.
Q. And in regard to Missouri?
A. Missouri is Democratic all owe
! from the bottom of the Mississippi Riy
Ito the top of Pilot Knob. You may re
