quarters of the Republican National Committee.
Nearly all the prominent Republicans from the in-
terror of this State and from other States have de-
parted for home OF for some summer resort. few
called on Governor Jewell, but the majority went

noon. Governor jewell went TO Hartford in the
evening, whence he will not return until Thursday.
The country is waking up. Garfield and Arthur
Clubs are being formed rapidly. and speakers
loudly called for. The Executive Committee of the
National Committee has had this subject under
sideration, and all demands Will be sup

sent to prominent points in those States. These
Will be supplemented by others. The active campaign

people. will not only vote this fail. but will aid in
securing Republican victory"
